They clearly state that the E loads won't handle slick roads quite as well. I have seen nothing about the silicon compound in the KO2s in any load range.
This video explains the difference between sl and E load in the Falkens at the 2:00 mark. I am not getting the mileage you get now btw. about 17 in the city. Maybe 20 on the hwy if I take it easy

How many miles do you have on your KO2s? Mine started to suffer after about 10k. The rubber compound just seemed to get really hard. |
I would get over 50,000 miles on several sets of load range E tires on my 2500HD diesel. Before that I used load range C on that 2500HD and 1500s that I've owned over the years with the same results. I never had wet weather issues with any of them.
