I have K02’s on my Wrangler. Good tires but Fred Flintstone stops better lol.

I have a test drive scheduled - looking forward to it. I’m not expecting Audi or M-B braking. But I’ll have my fingers crossed that I like mostly everything about the Raptor. If there is an issue with the vehicle, especially a safety one, then this is the perfect forum to bring it up. I’m...
