BF Goodrich KO2 / KO3 Tires Upgrade - Review & Range Efficiency Results

[dalton108]

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT from Tesla give a 3% range loss compared to stock offroad tire on Cyber Rims. Noise is little louder, they feel much grippier and have good ride quality.

I concur with this assessment. I feel like these and the wheels for the winter tire package was a great use of my power share credit. They’ll be on my rig until they wear out at which point they get replaced with KO3s! I think that’s gonna take a while!

I just need to figure out what I’m going to do with my OEM ATs which have about 5000 miles on them and how to unload 3 of my cyber-wheels since I intend to keep one as a spare.

Interesting. I think your energy numbers for the Duratracs are fairly close to mine (440 - 450 Wh/mi), but I question the 3% percent drop from the stock AT tires. Now that I have my ATs back on the truck, I'm seeing closer to 375 Wh/mi in similar driving conditions. It's a noticeable step change for me, and certainly more like 15% or more in my experience.

I haven't yet nailed down what a 'rated mile' is in terms of Wh, but just going with 123 kWh and the rated range at 100%, it looks to be around 380 Wh/mi... which fits with the 375 I've been getting.

Bottom line, my experience is that the Duratracs hit range in a big way and I would prefer not to have them on the truck if I want to squeak out all the range I can.

good point!

The steel side step sliders are a lighter duty slider, probably good for 95% of the consumers. It's the same shape, same weight as the aluminum, but it does not have the internal bracing or external plastic wear pads. We designed the for the Sport Truck line we are working on to use as side step, but they do offer protection as well.

If you're an average guy thats gonna hit some dirt roads, maybe find an obstacle or two, then it will protect your doors and door sill great, 1000% better than the plastics which are paper thin. I would say you can compare them to the Tsportline "cladding armor", but ours goes end to end and replaces the plastic sill.

If you're going to be rock crawling and have multiple impacts on a regular basis, then invest in the Heavy Duty aluminum Sliders that are better suited for your adventures.

Both will tie into the battery armor plates, which tie into the motor armor plates.

Hope that helps!

Soo.... What category am I working on ; P

According to our last test, the 1" lift rod kit and rear tailgate lip took a 10% range hit in medium height... bigger than I expected. I did not check the low setting, but I assume it would be the same as before the kit when we tested in medium height.

I put the wheel caps on it to see if I liked them. I don't hate them with the current "naked" set up we have the truck set up now to.
