I really liked the Defender's, that is what I swapped for on my 18 KR. They were smoother and quieter than the wranglers I had on my 15 KR. Great traction, looked like good longevity too. I only had 19,000 miles on my truck when I traded it in but the tires still looked new.
Im indifferent on the brand brand for now. Insist really want the OWL look for my first set of tires!

Good work! What’s you’re thought on them? Noise, ride quality, etc.

That is what usually comes on the KR.

I had them on my 13 and 15. They do fine but thought they could have been a little smoother and quieter.

I didn't think the tread was that aggressive yet the road feel and noise level was more than I think it should have been, some improvement was the only thing in that area I was seeking.

Good looking tire. We’ll have to see. Do the Defenders have an OWL option?

Nope, I liked the WW look but got tired of trying to keep them white. :cautious:

I’ll probably keep whatever tires it comes with until they wear out. I’m a Michelin man myself, but I’ve only seen one white letter option from them so far.

I test drove a 2020 with the OWL and the ride was just “okay”.

I'm going from a Ranger (an 8 pound pickup with light truck tires to next up oversize from factory & an older k1500 with 8ply rated tires with 50-60 lbs of air in them. (Nice riding truck BTW)

going to a larger heavier pickup with what I would assume to be much softer tires than the ones on the Chevy, pretty sure the ride will be fantastic. +the 164 WB ain't gonna hurt either.

How come these Dynapro AT2's look like they have a much less toned down tread pattern to the website? Are they Ford custom or or something?

I have had nothing but trouble with the Hankook stock tires. My 2016 F150 was needing new shoes after about 31000 miles and the wife's 2018 Explorer needed new shoes around 29500. Her and her boss go out and do the penny check about once a month so I spend lots of time dealing with tires.
