K02s are great off-road and in snow and all-round, but definitely cost 10% (!) mpg on an F-150 Hybrid.

Keep them at 50 psi cold and when those need to be replaced, get a narrower section width (contact patch is the primary factor in rolling resistance for the same pressure since load, compound and tread pattern are not variables.) A narrower tire will also have better ride quality and better off-road traction (float can always be created with lower tire psi, but contact patch psi is limited by the tire construction dimensions.)

The trip stats posted show 2139 miles. If the tires have only been on for 100 miles then there's no way to see whether it has actually affected the range. Dude needs to reset the trip computer.

I actually reset it at 1650 miles when the tires were added. I'm now at 2400 miles and my average is 1.8kWh on highway and 2.4kWh on city driving.

Whats the road noise like? Good to see that the mileage is still good.

800 miles is a pretty good sample. I'm surprised you aren't seeing lower range but I'm not complaining!

Road noise isn't bad...my wife said she hears a little but that's with the radio off. I've also had 35" KO2 mudders on my jeep and that didn't bother me so my opinions could be off but my brother did say he couldn't tell the difference between stock and these when he drove my truck for what that is worth

Thanks! I never thought the road noise was bad in my f150 but recently drove a Camry on a road trip and at 70 it seemed loud, even compared to my fusion with a bad wheel bearing lol.

Just bumping this to see if you leveled it over the weekend.

Also, and pictures from and angle or even head on? Curious to see if there's a buldge with 305's on the oem rim.

TIA!
