BF Goodrich Tire LT275/60R20, All Terrain T/A KO2


The All Terrain T/A KO2 is the second generation of the All Terrain T/A KO tire that is made by BF Goodrich.  This is an on and off road tire for light trucks that was developed in order to meet the needs of SUV, pickup truck and Jeep drivers who want control and confidence regardless of the terrain.  This tire has been designed to deliver traction anywhere and it has great wear, outstanding durability and traction that is dependable all year long – even in the snow.

This tire features a tread compound that has been race inspired and is resistant to tears, chips and cuts.  It delivers a long life as well – up to twice as long as the earlier generation on gravel roads.  The tread compound has been molded into a computer optimized, aggressive, high void pattern that is good on all terrains.  It has tread blocks that are interlocking, siping that is innovative and multiple features that eject loose objects so that you get off road traction and durability that has been combined with acceptable noise levels and great handling on the highway.

The Side wall Armor on the upper shoulder is a tougher rubber compound for the sidewall that is twice as thick as the one used in the earlier generation.  There are also Side Biter lugs that give you more traction by delivering the clawing type of action that is critical in developing traction as well as steering control in sand or dirt that is deep or even on rocks when the tire has been aired down.

The internal structure of this tire includes a pair of steel belts that have been reinforced with nylon that has been wrapped spirally around them.  This is on top of the side wall that consists of 3 plies of polyester.  What this means to you is that you get total durability and strength.

Simply put, if you are the type who enjoys tearing it up off road, then this is the tire you want.

Airaid SynthaMax Air Filter


The SynthaMax filters that are made by Airaid are washable, non-oiled and 100% synthetic.  It is simple to service them too.  Just take them out of your rig, wash them using a household detergent that is mild and then rinse them before allowing them to dry and reinstalling them in your rig.  Even after they have been serviced several times, they still have the appearance of being new.  Their maintenance is oil free and this allows them to be the filters that are the easiest to service in the industry.  Additionally, they give you a filtration that is unrivaled when compared to the traditional paper filters.  

The premium filters that are made by Airaid are all built by hand.  They also come to you complete with a guarantee that is good for a lifetime.  The SynthaMax filter is composed of two layers.  There is both an outer and an inner layer of wire mesh.  This acts as a durable source of support for the filtration as it assists in preventing the filter from collapsing even when it is under a high flow of air.  The layer on the inside is made up of two layers itself.  These layers are made of synthetic materials and they give you an air flow that is amazing with very low restriction as well as a filtration that is difficult to beat.  The particulates from the air get trapped in the outside layer of the synthetic, polyester needle felt material that has been designed to both dry and wet filtration and has a capacity for a high air flow.  The inner layer is made from a rayon, polyester blend that has been chemical bonded and wet laid.  It captures any particulates that might remain while it also gives you a high level of air flow and a restriction that is low.  This filter has been totally made from fibers that are synthetic.  It is washable and it is a non-oiled type which means that the process of cleaning it is easier.  However, the true benefits of this filter is in the way it is designed and the warranty that is good for a lifetime.
