BFG KO2 Noise?

[geswek]

I just got the tires aligned. It was definitely the alignment because now my tires are much quieter than they were before. I’m pretty sure once I get the suspension resolve this afternoon and the truck realigned I’ll be good long-term.

I’ve had KO2 for 45k miles now.  They were very tolerable noise wise new, but now at 60-65 mph they are insanely loud.  Up until this new development I would have recommended these tires to everyone.  Now I’m in the market for a new set of AT tires.  These are just too loud now. I do most of my driving at 60mph I’m losing my mind.

Noise was the reason I got away from AT tires. 

Liked the look.

I’ve had the Tokyo’s, Coopers’s, and they are much quieter than the ko2’s. But you do have to rotate them regularly.

21,000 or so now on mine and they have started getting loud.  Or is it the offending hub?  Alignment must be slightly out as they are wearing unevenly when on the front.  Inside wear is 1/32 more than center or outside tread.  Doing cross rotations every 5K miles.  Going to get an alignment soon.

Threads like this continue to add to my tire confusion.  I badly want a set of stock size 275/55r20 K02s and am willing to sacrifice a bit of ride quality, mpg, and noise.  There just does not seem to be a consensus on whether these tires ride nice or like crap, slightly lower MPG or completely kill it, and are whether they are quiet or deafening.   Why do they have to be such nice looking tires????

I have zero problems with my Ko2’s now.

I can’t remember why they needed realignment but meh.

I just moved up to 35’s and still love them.

I have almost 4,000 miles on my 275/60 R20 K02 and they (as they should) are quiet and ride really nice. Most people like them from what I've read.

I bought these yesterday and have 300 highway miles on then today......so far smooth quiet ride and only like 1mpg less than stock SR-A tires.
