Re: New Tires

I just changed shoes on my ride, first I dropped tire size from a 35 to 33 and went with a slightly less aggressive tire, BF goodrich T/A KO.
Far less road noise than my MT/r's and so far a superior street tire.
Down in Moab I aired them down to 8psi with Staun internal bead lockers and had absolutely no trouble on the top of the world trail and Rose garden hill which is broken and loose rock.

With todays gas prices and my ride being my rainy/snowy day driver as well as the weekend warrior I have been really happy with the K/O's.
