I think I'm going to put mine up to 40 this afternoon. Right now in Louisiana the temp is about 55 in the AM and 85 in the afternoon, so my tires are confused lol. Do you mind posting a pic from the front and side? Full pics, I want to see if you have any cali lean like I do. Mine isn't substantial but its noticeable.

Just got some of these installed last week, had them road force balanced at the dealership. After I got it back I had excessive vibration on the highway, clearly weren't balanced good so I had them redone. They ride much better now but still get some vibration about 73 and up. The different tech his time was confident they were balanced properly and said they would not be as smooth as my old tires. He also said that they need to break in a little bit and they will ride better because the sidewall is so stiff? Never heard that before. Hope he is right, I really like how my Yukon looks now with these tires and I'm ready to tear up the snow with them!

Now I expected a different ride from the 22" 285/45 Bridgestones, but they should still be smooth, right? I literally have like 40 miles on them. Tire pressure is at 35 now.

Around town ride is great. I as expecting noise from them on the highway but there is very minimal noise from them, I have to turn the radio off to hear it, very pleased with that. Really the only thing I hear is the front tires bite when the windows are down and I'm applying the brakes.

My last rim and tire setup was a nightmare to get to ride right until I took it to the dealership and they fixed it up fast so that's why I went to them first. I know it's not gonna ride like before, but curious how others think these tires ride on the highway at speeds over 70. Limit on interstates in WI are 70 so traffic is usually running about 75.

I mean it's an aggressive all terrain. You sacrifice comfort for looks. That being said its a very quiet and comfortable all terrain. I don't know your previous experience with AT or MT tires, but you typically buy them for the look or function not the comfort or noise lol they're good tires. I wouldn't expect them to get anything but louder as they break an like any tire. They are a great tire though. I had Toyo MT's on my truck and it looked sweet and had an awesome feel to it but they were so heavy and unforgiving. I'm back to 22's and duelers and it's really nice. So remember there's comfort, noise, and looks and you can only pick two haha

Thanks for the reply. I had Cooper Zeon LTZ on my last truck for 5 years, decent tire but unimpressive in snow. I had some KO's on a Grand Cherokee back in like 01 for a few years, but don't remember any issues. No experience or interest in MT. My biggest question was do other people have a vibration free ride at speeds about 75 mp?. I agree they are very quiet and they are comfy. they just get uncomfy for me at interstate speeds, like they vibrate some. 20" Duelers were an even better ride than the 22" Duelers, the 22" handle a little better on this lumber wagon.

Out of the 6 sets of wheels I've had I can say hands down imo the 22's and duelers ride the best.

Remember with snore aggressive tread it's harder to get adefinite balance. 75-80 is when I usually noticed a little "funk" with most of my mud tires or at's. I've had AT KO's, Toyo mt, Firestone destination mt, and fallen wildpeaks. KO looked nice and road nice. Toyo was too aggressive falken too mild. Have them balanced but I think what you're experiencing is normal if it isn't excessive

 

[Jonah52]

For what it's worth I have always wanted some LTZ's
