BFG KO2 - 34 x 10.5 x 17

I wish they made them in 295/70/17

 

Yeah... very few tires are 'true to size'. Interco tires tend to be but those are the only ones that come to mind. Come to think of it... I had a set of MT baja claws years ago in 35 that measured around a 33 mounted.

Either way... I loved the 34x10.5 KO2s ... great tire for stock rims in particular.

 

33" mounted on sport rim.

 

FYI: 34x10.5r17 KO2 vs 255/80/17 KM2


Edit: Fixed

 

Wait what???

 

FTFY

 

You are correct, my bad

 

Not sure if that is correct. I don't think they make the KM2 in a 34-10.50, pretty sure only the KO2 in 34-10.50.

 

How can you tell thats not the 34 x10.5 x 17 KO2 ?

Just curious

 

This

 

Just put these on yesterday. The 255/80 Coops were getting a little unwieldy for daily driving.

Spent a couple hours today with a dremel and heatgun, but still get a pretty good rub on the passenger liner. I heated it up and used a long stick to mold it back - and it's a huge improvement - but it still rubs. And it rubs way up high, so I'm not sure trimming will help. I think I need to find a way to get the liner to fit tighter. It's kind of loose as-is, and hangs a bit towards the tire.

I'm really close to the cab mounts, but I think I'm free and clear of a cmc.

My caster is about 3.6.

Used my GoPro to diagnose. For a while there I couldn't figure out where the rub was happening.

I can't, but the way he wrote it, I assumed the "285/70/17 All-Terrains" were on the left. Which means the KM2s were on the right. If that's not the case, the 285/70/17 are actually Mud-Terrains and that would make this whole thing make sense haha

 

Man, I screwed up everything. The picture is a 34x10.5r17 KO2 on the left, with a 255/80/17 KM2 on the right.

 

That makes more sense

 

I disagree. What are the specs? Yes, it's more than factory, but it's only a 10.5" tire so not nearly as much surface resistance.

 

Damn this is an old thread

 

You'd think they'd at least attempt to get closer to a 34...worlds smallest 34" tire.

 

Anyone with these tires needing a cmc? Thanks!

 

I have a minor CMC and 3 degrees of caster. I also still have husky mud flaps that I trimmed and remolded here and there. No rubbing with 17 x 8.5" -10 offset wheels.

 

Stock wheels with OEM mudflaps and NO trimming or CMC of any kind. Icon 3" lift.
