New Shoes
Thanks to all the reviews here and Saker's personal response to my questions pushing me over the edge my 4Runner now has a set of new shoes. In the 20 or so miles I have driven her I can tell you I'm glad I made the move! They ride awesome! I have no complaints at all. I think they are better than the stock Nitto's but time will tell. Very impressed. Love the aggressive look and hopefully that aggressive look carry's over to the trails. Based on BFG history this should be a no brainer.
Obligatory crappy cell phone pics!

I picked up my BFG KO2s yesterday from 4Wheel Parts in Tacoma WA. Had them put on my FJ wheels I had powder coated a wrinkle semi gloss black finish. BFG size is 275/70R17 which I am glad I did not go any bigger or any smaller. I love the look and cant wait to hit some trails.

Hmm... I asked them a few days ago as well via email.
Me - Hi, I recently purchased BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Off-Road Radial Tire - 275/70R17 121R for a 2015 4Runner SR5 4x4. What is the suggested tire pressure? Thanks!
BFG - The proper inflation recommended is 45psi (for the front and rear) in order to meet all of the load carrying capacity requirements.
I only got to drive a little bit on city streets today on the way home and they seemed fine at 45psi (miles better than the stock Dunlops, for sure). In my head 45 seems high, but I wouldn't know what to look for (besides explosions, I guess...) to know if they are over-inflated or not though.

If you can stand the harshness at 45 psi then leave them there. My Limited with xreas suspension is to rough at that pressure with that tire. I have had mine at 34 psi for 6 months and it is fine. The rear tires on the stock 7" wheels has not even worn the nubs of the tread on the outside edges of the tire yet. I imagine at 45 psi it would wear the center of the tire quickly.

You didn't give them what PSI your factory tire recomended, 45 psi may be more of a max load pressure.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'll try it out at 45 psi then, and if it's too stiff (correction, if my fiancé says it rides too stiff) then I'll air down a bit. Seems like plenty of people are running the same tire between 35-40psi with no issues.
I'm getting Bilstein 5100s front and back today too, so hopefully it doesn't ride too hard. Personally I'm fine with a more "truck-ish" ride, but of course I gotta stay within the acceptable range of the significant other haha.

Size? Looks great.
Just ordered a set of 275/70/17. I'll post a pic once they are installed.
I've been delaying picking these up, but yesterday a little rain and wet grass proved to be too much for the stock Dunlops. My wife was in the car and she even thought the stock tires needed to go after their performance. Win!!!

If anyone is wondering, these tires do carry the serve service emblem (the snowflake inside the mountain) indicating they are meant for some snow use. I run the stock 20's with Blizzak snow tires all winter long here in the mountains. We got hit with a decent spring snow storm yesterday while I have already gone to the TRD Pro/275 E rated K02s I have for not winter. They aren't terrible in the snow by any means but they fall well short of dedicated winter tires. Not even in the same ballpark for traction, stability, and control.

Audi Tech, you make good point about dedicated winter tires. More to it than just tread as siping, rubber compound and tread all work together in a winter tire.

Just got mine mounted. Extremely pleased with the ride and low road noise. Oh and they look badass. Can't wait to get them dirty.
did you get those in the stock size? 265-70-R17?

Just got my K02 installed today at Discount Tire. I feel I got a good deal.
$845 otd. installed on my new wheels, and they transfered the TPMS from old wheels to new and installed regular stems on old wheels and tires (which I plan to sell).
Very slight rubbing on stock susp (full lock only), which I suspect is the wheels considering most guys here are saying no rub with this size, but are on stock wheels. Should be taken care of tomorrow as my Icon Stg 4 suspension goes on.
Love the new look and feel. So much better than those stock tires.
