Sorry for reviving an old thread, but how are you F load KO3s holding up? Wearing evenly? Any regrets?
I’m getting 37” KO3s installed today and have been second guessing my decision due to their F load rating. But I have a diesel and tow a fair amount. So I’m thinking they can’t be much worse than the Ridge Grapplers I’ve been running.
Straight up… I have no regrets. I’ve rotated twice now and coming up to my third rotation soon. I have put on about 15k kms. Yes, these are F rated 12 ply tires, not because I need it, which obviously I don’t, truck is too light for them and even though I first chaulk tested them to be 29-30psi, that’s just too low for the feel and they are very good at 35 psi.

Once I load down with all my camping gear and kayaks for the long weekend, tire psi goes up to 40 in the back and front stays at 35.

Wear is even at 17/32nd’s and they get rotated about every 5k kms, about same time as my oil changes.

I’ve driven on them through one Alberta winter already which sees lows into -30c. They handle very good on our icy highways as long as I air down to 30psi and put a couple hundred lbs in the back.

Would I buy them again? Absolutely.

My Falken AT3W's were already worn wonky when I bought them used so they loud ASF now. Thinking about getting these K03's to replace them. I had K02's on my last Jeep and really liked them.

Glad to hear! I have been debating several options for weeks before I realized I was suffering from analysis paralysis. So hoping I made the right choice!

They did need to have the road force balancing to make them ride real nice. Regular balancing didn’t work well.
