That's the second gash. BF Goodrich pretty much said too bad. I've owned them all my life but I'm not to sure now.

that sucks big time. Best deal I found on ko2 is thru 4wd.com with forum discount and then Discount tire direct will beat that price. you will get that for about 250.

Ouch. 4wheelparts has the 35x12.50x17 ko2 for $248.50. Check with them when you shred your next sidewall.

5 tire rotation every 5,000kms, bit more noise on the highway as they age.....but I like that.

No issues with initial balance either.

Another vote for Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's. I have 50,000 miles on a set of 5 (rotate them all) 37", and they still have 5-10k left. They are quiet yet capable, good in the wet. That all said, the Mickey's aren't cheap, and I am curious and just bought a set of 5 Toyo RT's for a lot less. I'll probably put those on around Thanksgiving.
