Anyone got a pic of BFG KO2 275/70R17 on your 4R without lift?

[slee05]

Was wondering if these tires fit in the spare tire area under the truck?

Yes. People are fitting 285/70/17 and 255/70/17 without issue

 

[Orangutan]

Yes. They are very smooth, quiet and track perfectly. It's hard to believe you're driving on such a rugged off road tire as the ride is so smooth.

Curious, prior to lift.., how bad if any, rubbing with the Trail Wheels?

 

[TRD4runnin]

So no one has had any rubbing issues with the 275/70/17 size rubbing on stock suspension?

I got them on 2015 trail, stock suspension, no rubbing at all. Parked next to exact same trail last week with stock wheels. Night and day difference appearance wise and I was a little taller.

I had zero rubbing issues prior. I tried all different turns in forward and reverse. I did not go off-road and compress the suspension. I'm sure I would have seen a little doing that.

Thank you for timely response.

Pricing From tirerack.com

Went to read the reviews on the new KO model at tirerack.com, and out of curiosity checked the pricing. It was surprising to learn the 275 size was cheaper than the stock 265. Even for the Load Range C, which is available in stock.

$206. per tire for 275's in Load Range E

$225. per tire for 265's in Load Range C

$254. per tire for 265's in Load Range E

$267. per tire for 285's in Load Range E.

Just got them on today. Look great, could not get any rubbing on pavement. Tried every combination of turning forward and backward. Do not notice the additional weight at all. Very quite, only noticed that additional noise with the windows open. They float a little but not a major concern of mine.

Nice, I can't wait.

Any chance you could take a photo of the front and rear so we can see how wide those 275 KO2's look? I am about to either buy the 275 or 285 65 R18. I will have to remove the front mud flaps and perhaps do some other mods if I get the 285, so I want to be happy with the width of the 275's.

Not the greatest angles but there you go. Ill see if I can get something better tomorrow

Any owner comments on snow performance for the new KO's?

My AT3 are quickly going away and they were pretty poor in snow even when new. These seem like the way to go here in pseudo-Siberia if they are decent in snow.

where are you finding 275s for 4206? Cheapest I have found is discounttire $220

 

[jicko]

Some discount tires are willing to work with you. If you print out the ebay-discount tires direct $100 off $400 set of tires, they will give you that $100 off for a set of KO2!!!!

 

[reece04]

I just picked up new 275/70r17 KO2's from Discount Tire and they rang them in at $200 each. The ride great, and look awesome. I have had BFG ATs on my last truck for 5 years and never had a problem.

 

[hoe_nah]

bumping this up. just ordered a set of fuel wheels and going back n forth on tire size and brand

 

[AudiTech]

I have E rated 275s, the only thing I had to do is move the bottom of the fender liners forward a bit and nothing else.

A bunch of pics are here

[The Waco Kid]

Is anyone running these with Konig Countersteer Type X's?

I'm interested in seeing how much rubbing was caused, seeing as it pushes the wheel outward nearly and inch.

Pretty certain 265's won't, but I have a pretty good feeling the 275's do.

BFG KO2 275/70R17's

Just got them on today.....less than 10 miles on them!!

These really fill up the wheel wells. No rubbing in forward or reverse with them at full lock. Don't know about off road yet, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Looks like a 2-3 inch lift is next on my list...:bounce:
