    When researching tires recently I didn't find many pics of the KO2's on Limited wheels so I thought I'd share for those who might be interested in what they look like. I swapped out the OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/T 840's for the exact same size BFG KO2's and here are the results.

    There's only been a slight increase in road noise. City driving they are the same as the Dueler's and on the highway the BFG's are only a bit louder. So far so good!

    Looks very good @buzzkill911. I've thought of buying these wheels for my '08 & running some 275/65r18 KO2's (32's basically).

    Thanks and I'm still really happy with them too. After putting over 15000 miles on them since my first post I'd say the verdict is still the same - slightly louder on the road but not significant, ride quality is great and about a 1 MPG loss after switching to them.

    Here's a wider shot of what they look like on the truck:

    BTW, the actual tire size in these photos is 265/60R18. Probably good info for anyone interested to have... :facepalm:

    I am looking at a set of 4Runner wheels. They are 18x7.5. I want to put a set of 265/60 on them. But was concerned with rub. I am factory height SR5 2016 model. Hate to put the money in it and then it rub. I'm thinking it will be fine. Do you know the back spacing on the limited wheel that you used. The ones I'm looking at are +25 which would help a little because my factory 16" are +30. Thank you.

    By the way has your truck been leveled or lifted any? Thanks again.

    No leveling or lift and I don't have any offset info. My truck is a Limited so those wheels came on it from the dealer and I simply replaced the factory rubber with the KO2's. I purposely bought the exact same tire size to avoid any fitment issues by comparing overall diameter and revs per mile data on Tire Rack.

    I realize this is an old post but it helped me make the decision to get a set of the KO2’s on my Tacoma with the same size wheels so thanks for posting. By the way I’m sure you have replaced those tires by now. How much mileage did you get out of them?? Meaning still relatively safe to drive but technically worn out ( not bald)

    Those tires and rims I ended up selling with about 20,000 miles on them. I found a good deal on the 17" SEMA wheels and was able to sell the chrome limited rims with the BFGs to a buddy.

    I did end up putting BFG KO2s in load range C on the 17" SEMA rims and just replaced them this last fall. I put about 50,000 miles on them and rotated them religiously. They had some life left when I swapped them out but I wanted new tires before winter.

    I think you'll enjoy them, good choice.
