    Can you point me to the magazine articles that compares this tire with the K02?

    For those asking about fitment on other Trims, I cannot be certain if they would fit well or not. I imagine that they would, but you might want to do some measuring. I know that they don't make a 16" tire so that limits the option for some folks out there.

    For those asking about road noise and MPG... At first they were EXTREMELY quiet - I couldn't tell the difference from the factory tires. But as they wore a little bit, they have developed a very slight hummm, but nothing close to your typical MT road noise. The MPG's haven't seemed to take much of a hit. They are heavier and 3.6% larger than stock tires. I keep very good service and fuel economy records and I haven't noticed a substantial difference. After I consider the 3.6% extra rolling distance, I MIGHT be getting about .25-.50 MPG less on the tank average. I seem to notice more of a loss on longer highway mile trips. I was originally getting around 23-23.5 MPG on strictly highway miles, but now I'm getting around 21.5-22.0 MPG on a similar trip. City mileage seems to be unaffected or affected minimally.

    Great shots. I just bought the same tires, and am getting ready to put them on my sport, on the stock wheels. And had been looking for pics on the stock wheels. I think I'm going to love them!

    I don't think any magazines have directly compared them since they are different types of tires. KO2s are ATs while Ridge Grapplers are more of a hybrid AT/MT tire.

    With their new block sidewall design I don't know why anyone would go with the transformer sidewall out.

    So I am about to get these tires on my truck as well. Just wanted to make sure I don’t need a spacer or anything. From my reasearch it seems that you don’t have one. I just wanted to make sure! Thanks
