    Is out of round issue with 35 KO2 common? Balance beads help?

    Over many years I’ve owned 28 of various sizes of BFG AT KO tires. I’ve never had a peep of trouble out of any except 35/12.5-15.

    Does anyone carry spare sensors, etc. on the trails ?

    I recently had the somewhat good fortune of having my OEM crank sensor fail and then three days later the replacement failed as well. Both times the failure was in or close to town. This happened during a trip to Colorado to run some of the Jeep trails around Pitkin, Lake City and Ouray. I'd...
