Put some new tires on...

Hey all, this weekend I put BF Goodrich KO2's (235/75/15) on my 2012 access cab 5 lug. So far, its a night and day difference. I sit two inches higher. NO power loss at all. Only thing is when I hit 70-75 mph on I-20 it reads a little slower than i'm actually driving. Haven't tracked my MPG's yet but I will post them when i get those numbers. When I order the Fat Bob's kit i will go up to 30x9.5 and try and find some alloy wheels. Maybe from a rav4 or something. Anyhow, I would recommend this to everyone. Here are some before and after pics.

 

looks good

 

Welcome to the KO side

 

Looks good man.
Now that you’ve had them for a while, whats your final opinion on them?

 

Man I love them. They make the truck actually feel like a truck. If there has been any shortcomings its the fact that I'm worried when I put my FB lift that it will look odd; but seeing pics of others with 235's (vs 30x9.5) I couldn't really tell. But I will cross that bridge when I get there. In regards to MPG, i have only noticed about 1 MPG drop with the tire upsize. I drive my truck everywhere and it has handled everything to perfection with these tires. Check out tiresize.com. Thats where I did all my research.

 

Do you have the 4 cylinder? Sorry I don't even know if there IS a 6 cylinder 5 lug but just wondered.

 

The only 2nd Gen 5-lug with the 6-cylinder was the X-Runner.. the rest were 4 cylinder 2.7's.

 

I’m on my phone just slowly scrolling through the pics like “oh ok smaller tires laaadeeddaaaa” then BAM! Meats come out of nowhere! Nice tires op!
