Unfortunately, I'm canceling my order. I have to replace my tires and want to go to 35s so needed this or the GOAT option. Was willing to pay the premium for these as my shocks will need a rebuild at the same time so it gave me the least amount of downtime (this is my daily).

Who did you order thru? I’ve been trying to cancel mine for a refund for months and now being ghosted and not sure sure what to do…

Hey Cole,
I thought your last text was more rant, Kentucky bourbon related than a question. We've spoken throughout the process. You can DM me, email me, text me, call me, or can stay public here. I'm waiting just like everyone else but am still looking forward to getting them, last of course.

That's just like tires, the Ford OE spec KO3's are not quite the same as the mass market KO3's in the same size, they are tweaked for OE performance requirements in ride, handling and fuel economy.
Price. OEM versions of consumer market items are almost ALWAYS inferior, and it's because of price. Manufacturer calls (for example) BFG and says we'll buy a million KO3s a year if you can hit this price point. BFG then builds a cheaper tire .... OEM don't care one bit about actual performance, don't kid yourself.
Anyone remember the the Explorer Firestone tires scandal?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestone_and_Ford_tire_controversy#:~:text=The Firestone and Ford tire,made by Ford Motor Company.
Everything is about cost, the cheapest possible way to get a feature that advertises better than the competition - that people will pay for.

Look at it this way, if Ford could save One Dollar per tire, in 2025 that would increase profits by 17.6 million dollars.
(Worldwide sales 4.4 million x 4 tires. Not even including spares...)

My bad dude. Thats why I didn’t mention by name I wasn’t trying to blast you or anything I was just confused bc I didn’t hear back last time. Chalk it up as a misunderstanding! If you don’t mind to ping me this week I’d appreciate.

Yes sir. I'll holler later today. And no problem. Call me out. I make mistakes, forget, screw up, all of the above. I do my best to make it right.
