Email from BFG: KO2s released in 285/70r17 this week

Sorry if this is a repost, but I randomly decided to email BF Goodrich and ask when more sizes of the the All-Terrain T/A KO2's would be going on sale and they said:

"Trevor,

The new All-Terrain T/A KO2's were just launched this week in size LT285/70R17, MSPN 99728. They are now available for authorized tire dealers to order.

We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing BFGoodrich."

I'm going to have to compare these to Duratracs for my build now.

I saw them on the DTD and Tire Rack sites this week around $267/ea. I'm still debating on them and will likely get Duratracs until BFG gets something besides a E-rated 10-ply, which is overkill IMHO. Don't really need a tire that heavy rolling around killing my MPG. The Duratracs with their D-rating are more than sufficient for me.

Don't really need a tire that heavy rolling around killing my MPG. .

That will probably be the deciding factor for me as well. This is my DD and the MPG isn't that stellar as it is. The snow performance of the Duratracs is also something I would benefit from.
