Worth switching to KOs from KM2s
I have 305/70/16 KM2s on my rig now and I'm about to buy a popup camper for some summer travel. I am happy with the KM2s but they are not the most road worthy tire, great off road, but for long distance trips I'm wondering if it would be worth trading them for something like BFG KOs. The KOs were my second choice but I went with the KM2s because the jeep is not really a daily driver, but now I'm wanting a little smoother tire with better road characteristics. I'm wanting to stay with the 305 size.
The jeep can be a bit punishing for long trips hoping the KO would be a bit quieter and a little smoother.
Any opinions?

If your wanting a little smoother tire with better road characteristics. You can't go wrong with the BFG Ko's , lot's of people use them on their Jeep's . I have use'd them before on other 4X4's . And will be going back to them on my next set of tire's

About to make the switch tomorrow. I'm hopeful that it will make towing my popup a bit easier, and at least they will be quieter and smoother for the longer road trips. Pricey gamble considering the KM2s still have a lot of life in them.
