PRO ordered today. What tires to buy?

I went into my dealership with an open mind to decide between a MT PRO in cement or an MT OR in quicksand. He gave me a price of $2000 off MSRP on the PRO so I pulled the trigger. Im not here to argue about if the PRO is a rip off or if its for poseurs or whatever. Im here for help with what tire size to buy for it. Im probably going with BFG KO2's and I know someone on here has 285/75 R16 but its a bit unclear if they rub or not. Anyone else with a pro have any input on this? I don't need to squeeze tires so big that they are 1/8" away from the truck, but I would like to go as big as is reasonable. Thanks much.

 

KO2 is a great tire. I believe there's a pro member here with 285/75/16 (not KO2s) that rub a full lock in reverse. If you're not planning on wheel spacers try 265/75/16. Congrats on the pro.
I wish our market had $2000 off MSRP.

 

I went back and forth as well, in the end went with 265/75 for less weight, not take the hit on mpg, power to wheel with the little putt putt under the hood, and not to mention price

 

Nice pro! Those tires look good too!

 

I have the Duratracs 285/75/r16 they did have minor rubbing. I used a heat gun and pushed the inside fender back and trimmed a small piece(the one that holds the bolt that screws into the fender) it no longer rubs. It was a super easy fix. There is another guy on here with the KO2 and he claims no rubbing. I can add picks later.

 

Can you post what you had to trim? No rubbing anymore at full flex and all situations?

 

I also used a heat gun to mold back some of the plastic. Minor work and absolutely no rubbing. I don't think I had to trim that much but I had the guy take a little extra, plus moving the screw back pulled the plastic in a little.

 

Thanks. Have you takin it off-roading yet to see if rubs?

 

Honestly the two trucks don't look that different in the pics. Maybe I should just go with the 265's to be safe. Although I can't imagine the difference really effects MPG or driving feel? Other thoughts on that?

Cheers
