Here's my dilemma. I ordered a set of 35x12.5r17 BFG KO2s from Discount Tire for my JKU. I went down to my local Jeep shop to get a quote on the EVO lift. When I mentioned I ordered KO2s they warned me that they've had a lot of balancing issues lately with BFGs (requiring way too much weight when they dynamically balanced them). They said BFG field engineers came out to their shop and told them that they previously static balanced their tires and recently they switched to dynamic and lowered their threshold for rejects due to reported issues. The shop suggested I check the manufacture date. Mine were manufactured in May of this year, but I'm not sure if that puts me in the clear or not.
Discount Tire said they hadn't experienced these balancing issues, and if they required more than like 4oz they would send them back for me.
The Jeep shop suggested I look at the Micky Thompson Baja ATZ P3s. Discount Tire said they would order them if I wanted, but I'd have to pay about $30 more per tire. I do admit that the Micky Thompsons look cooler to me, and the KOs I have on my Ford Ranger vibrate at highway speeds.
I'm looking for a tire good for 90% street, 10% off-road, and good in heavy rain (I'm in FL). What do you guys think I should do?
