Tires
My 2011 G55 only has five thousand miles on it. The tires are ten years old and are flat spotted. Should I replace the with new Pirelli Scorpion tires or up grade to G63 20” wheels an get BFR KO2 tires ? I like the look of the aggressive tires but don’t want to sacrifice the comfort of the truck.

I found when going from the Pirelli Scorpion Zero's (Week 3 2012 Date code) to BFG KO2's that the ride actually was MORE comfortable. Mine are 285/60R18 Load Range D. The old Pirelli's were very hard and noisy at when I replaced them. The only downside is they're a little bit softer during evasive maneuvers or sudden direction changes, which I try to avoid at all times anyway.
There may be other more comfortable tires that still have a more aggressive look to them that are not a full all terrain tire, but I viewed the KO2 as the standard to which all other on/off road hybrid tires are judged, which is why I went with them.
