    I assume you have stock suspension.... Do you get any tire rub with these tires? I'm thinking about putting this tire on the black FJ team wheels.

    Just did my first trip in the snow. Very pleased, especially considering I was unable to air down since I don't have a 12v compressor. Much better than the DuraTurds I've ran in the past, and they are quieter.

    Got mine on this week; 285/75r16.
    I like the look of my truck so much better now. Rides much better than my nearly bald tires I had on there before.
    Purchased from Tire rack, had them mounted/balanced on new wheels and shipped for ~$1400 all together.
    A bit of rubbing, just need to trim a little and maybe remove the flaps. Frame rubbing at full wheel lock, but that's easy to deal with once I learn the limit. Still need to get a small lift in the rear to even everything out, overall happy so far with these tires.

    I had 285x70x17 on my Tacoma before I put on the K02s. Once I removed the mud flaps and did some slight trimming the rubbing was minimal. If I was at a good wheel turn and went over a bump it would of course rub. Never got used to it, so when I got my k02s I went with 275x70x17. No rubbing at all, but I really do miss having 285s. They look so good on lifted trucks!

    Honestly there is minimal difference height wise between the two. Look at them mounted next to someone with 285s and the look the exact same height wise. Look from the back and you can definitely tell the width difference. I've got 275s on my FJ and love them. Plus the skinnier width is better for winter use.

    Yeah, I messed around with the tire calculator for almost a week making sure they would be close in height. I was stuck between 275x70 and 265x75. They were all pretty much the exact same. i did like the really wide look of my 285s, but don't regret going to 275.

    May have been mentioned earlier, but just noticed that 35's in a C load rating are available now. I think 35's just moved up my priority list.

    How has the ride changed for you guys with the 265/70/17 load C compared to stock tires? I'm thinking of making the switch to the ko2s but have heard the ride is a lot more stiff so you can really feel the bumps and potholes a lot more.

    And what's the average MPG loss with those?

    So I pick up my ko2s a week ago went with 265/75/16 load range E. the ride is definitely stiffer but I like it. haven't noticed any loss in fuel economy probably driven around 500km. so far so good! they handle great in the snow in my opinion. 20170101_152034.jpg

    I've had mine since July and couldn't be happier. Now I'm just waiting for some snow so I can put them to good use.

    Got my 255/75/17 mounted on Ray10s yesterday. Lift is 5100s, OME 885, Icon Tubular UCA, & Headstrong OffRoad 3-leaf AALs. The tires are considered 32s and I get no rubbing at all - whew! Very happy with the way they ride. As many have said, they're smooth and quiet. Here are teaser pics:

    Just installed BFG KO2 (265/70/16) a few days ago. Now, I feel a little vibration in my steering wheel. It doesn't change the direction of my truck and some roads are not as bad as others. Has anyone else experienced this? I didn't notice this before I changed the tires and those were the stock BFG Rugged Trails with just about 50k miles on them.

    Nothing yet. Just got it. 4000 miles on it.
    I actually like these tires. I am getting a 1 mile per gallon increase in mileage and I drive like a bat out of hell! They look great and I would highly recommend them!
