Hi all, new member here. It is getting close to needing new tires for our 2015 Transit LWB. It weighs just under 9,900 lbs with all fluids topped off and us in it.
We bought the van used and it came with Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Overall, I have been quite happy with these tires, except the noise (they have gotten especially loud as they have worn).
Our local campervan conversion company recommended the BF Goodrich KO2 as an alternative, but I have read conflicting things about them with reported issues on sidewall cracking and difficulty balancing. The Nittos are great in this sense; they have been durable and vibration free.
Anyone here have experience with the K02s? We have aftermarket 17" wheels so these would be 265/70R17.
I have also came across Michelin LTX A/T 2 tires which looks interesting. To be honest, we rarely go off-road in our van so having a smooth highway ride is more important than off-road traction.
Thanks in advance!
