Hill Climb with new tires!

[Nam3]

Nam 3 How do you like the KO2"s on the obx? I still running with originals that came vehicle.

I loved them. They are great for the desert. I did notice a slight decrease in acceleration at first but quickly forgot about it.

So just over 2 months with my BS. Coming up on 9,000 miles. I’m on my 4th set of tires. I buy a lot of tires so I didn’t feel guilty using the satisfaction guarantee. I had the KO2. I liked them but found them too heavy. I switched to the Mickey Thompson’s. They are lighter and more aggressive. And yes I can feel the weight difference. ?

I originally went with KO2s because of the extra weight, and the thicker sidewall. The terraine out here in AZ is is unforgiving. I was planning on putting KO3s on the Black Diamond but I've got about 6 more months to decide.

I put on KO2s and was able to have a lot of fun around Phoenix. I never did get around to putting on a lift but the tires alone made a huge difference. Check out some of my older videos with the Sport, they're all around AZ.

That looks like the OHV park off of bush highway where I tried the 2 hills, I made it halfway up the left one

Hey fishingjts, where did you find those hills at? I as well live in Michigan looking for places to go to. Also I noticed that you had an MRT license plate cover. I didn't know that they had those available i would've gotten one. They did my exhaust a couple weeks ago

You said those tires are lighter than the 235/65R17 Falken Wildpeak AT tires?! Or am I missing something?!

they are lighter than the BFG KO2 in the same size. My issue is Discount Tires lists the KO2 at 34.5 pounds when in fact they are 44.2 pounds. Part of my decision on the KO2 was based on the incorrect weight….

The Mickey Thompson’s are 39 pounds.
