Just had a set of BF Goodrich T/A KO 295/75R-16's mounted on my truck about 3 days ago. I ordered them off of the Walmart website and had them delivered to my local Walmart. The tires I believe are excellent tires and problem was with the guys mounting the tires in the Walmart garage. They don't have much if any experience mounting or balancing anything but the regular run of the passenger car tires. Just be sure to stay in the garage and talk to the guy who will be mounting your tires so you can explain NOT to put 80 psi into a load range D tire, 65 psi is MAX, 65 psi in the fronts and 50 psi in the rear tires, align the blue paint dots with the valve stems or if you have after market rims with balance marks or stickers align the blue paint dots with them, and finally to place the wheel balance weights EXACTLY where and as the balance machine tells them. NOT all on the inside of the rim. (I learned this from the BF Goodrich engineer/customer rep who faxed me a section of their tire mount % balance guide....they were very helpful)

On my first test drive after having the tires mounted, the truck shook like an out of balance washing machine. I immediately turned the truck around and took it back to the garage and insisted the tires be rebalances as per my instructions. I should have made them do it when checked the tires and commented on the improper mounting and balance before I left the garage. Once the tires were rebalanced as per my instructions, they were very smooth and little vibration. I have made arrangements to have the tire remounted and rebalanced again next week so the blue paint dots are aligned with the valve stem on my OEM cast wheels. One of the tires they managed to mount with the valve stem nearly aligned with the valve stem and that tire required almost NO balance weights. The others have quite a bit.

So far I have taken the tires off road on a clear cut area on a steep access road. These tires have MUCH improved traction, softer ride, and flexiblity over the Uniroyal 285/75R-16 Walmart Liberator AT's that I previously had. For $128 each, they were fantastic tires but not real good on rough rocky surfaces due to be prone to sharp rock punctures and they were horrible in the mud.

The BF Goodrich tires are a HUGE improvement and so far I am VERY pleased with them. They are VERY quiet with respect to road noise for such an aggressive tread and seem to provide a LOT more soft and smoother ride. They cost $194 each plus the $9.99 Road Hazard Warranty/Life Time rotate and balance plus tax.
