I had the original KOs on my Wrangler TJ and that never got stuck ever even with open diffs.
I put 60k on them and they were still fine.
They weren’t so good at braking and cornering in really greasy conditions like with spilled diesel etc.

Can you recommend a tire for spilled diesel driving? Just in case.
Just kidding.

Hehe!
well, whatever tire my friend had on his Skoda Yeti brakes and took the corner just fine whereas my Wrangler entirely ignored both my braking (or rather it locked up for the first time ever, no ABS on an old TJ) and ignored my steering input which is normal when brakes lock up.
As it was just a near dead 90 degree right turn a few feet before a stop sign we were slowing down to maybe 10mph from about 25 but my vehicle didn’t want to know and just plowed straight on and over the keen at about 15mph lol.
Never had it happen before and there was an oily film on the road at that corner reflecting the light all rainbow like. But his vehicle had no problem and neither did seemingly anyone else’s...

I'm prepping for winch/A bar install. I need some info on ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) The radar is still somewhat clear with the A Bar installed.... ( looks clear) Not sure how the beam is broadcast out??? I assume pretty tight, strait forward.
Any insight or help on this would be great.




My drawing is a little off, you get the jist.

thanks!
