Looks nice but if you were worried about MPG issues you would should have just stayed with the stock tire.......

Looks kinda neat in 265/65/17
I did find this size to average $40 more per tire than 265/70/17

I was also shopping for KO2 in stock size 265/70/16 at $216 but because of the price I ended up purchasing 265/75/16 at $173 each today

He did a poll because he wanted to. Don't like it? Don't agree? Move along!

It's neither, I just genuinely don't understand what he's asking

MPG with BFG KO2s?

Same as with original tires since they are original size.

Same.

mpg with these tires will be either the same, or the same?

The answer is 3. A bit worse because the tire is heavier than stock.

Nice, can't go wrong with either. We've run both on our field trucks and never had issues.
