Good question, I was a bit concerned my self but I actually had vibration issues with the OEM GY eagle LS2's so I couldn't wait to get them off (had them off before 500 miles on the odo). With that said, the comfort level is better imo as they're smooth as glass especially on the highway which was honestly surprising. Its about a 5-10% stiffer ride I guess one could say (depending on what psi being run) as they're a bit heavier than oem and with the windows down I do hear a little bit of road noise (maybe 15% over OEM) but with the noise cancellation tech in the truck I honestly can't hear anything different with the windows up. I'm running about 39-42 psi and I honestly couldn't ask for a better tire. I had Nitto Terra Grappler G2's on my 14 Jeep Grand cherokee and they made more noise than these tires which is shocking to me. Could be the difference in vehicle or whatever but I'm glad I went with the KO2's over the Nittos. Not to mention they look better *IMO*.
