I literally just purchased these today. Same size and my truck is a stock SR5 2001. Has there been much rubbing? Being it's an E rated tire how do you think it will be as an daily driver, weekend warrior type tire? They should arrive via UPS this weekend for me. Not to derail your thread in anyway, I found mine online for $700 shipped. (Are we allowed to post commercial links?)

Post whatever you want. The mods here are lazy and will either delete what you posted or do nothing...
You can post links though.

vs
both pics are 285/75r16
Better on-road traction in the wet than the old version, the same gas mileage as the other BFG(meh), more civilized less squirmy ride on-road with 35 psi (I have them at 45 psi though), only have had them on gravel and easy off-road so far.
I am happy with everything but fuel economy, that's coming off Michelin A/T2 before the BFGs and Michelin M/S before that so I didn't expect any different.
Much happier than I was with the other BFGs.
IMO, of course.

:thanks:
Got my KO2s installed a couple months ago on the 4th Gen and I was coming from Duratracs. Although the Duratracs were great tires they did get loud and rough as they aged. The KO2s have been great so far, smooth and quiet. I also have to admit they look much better than the old A/Ts.

That yellow dot only indicates the least heavy spot on the tire outwards from the inside bead. There's another red/orange dot which indicates the heaviest spot. The old "trick" was to line the least heavy spot of the tire, the yellow dot, with the heaviest spot on the wheel, which as many would guess, is the part with the valve stem on it. The difference is so minor though, unless you have stupidly heavy valve stems!
The real way to match mount is to balance a bare wheel, and mark where the most heavy spot is. Then, line that up with the yellow dot. It's usually a little more complicated than that but in essence, that's how to do a proper match mount. For the most part, a competent tech should be able to regularly balance the assembly and get it right.

Yeah they are terrible pictures haha!! To answer the question about rubbing, I did have some but nothing that a razor blade couldn't fix! Just had to trim some of the plastic shield on the insides of the wheel wells.
So I've had them on for a week now and I couldn't have had better timing. We got slammed with snow, slush and ice all last week here in NJ. These take to snow like a duck takes to water. I really don't have a basis for comparison to other tires minus the Bologna skins Generals I just had on. So I really can't tell whether they are a harsh ride compared to others? My 01 is stock, original suspension, so the truck rides, like a truck that's 15 years old when it comes to comfort. In my opinion they have zero road noise. Cant tell if my mpg has increased or decreased because I've basicslly been in 4wd all week with them on. For rubbing, very, very little and that's if you completely wheel it around. I'll post up some pics I took today. Overall I really love them. I'll be happy to answer any questions, that I can answer.
