BFG KO2 235/85/16 on 4x4 Reg Cab

Cool,

I haven't a clue what SAMs charges for mounting and balancing.

Guess I'll find out in a few months.

I was tickled to just see a set of BFGs in 235 to actually feel the weight and look at.

 

right on, its a great size tire for our tacos! also i see youre from NC. i grew up in durham.

 

I used to have an RC bro, but I still have my Toyota tool box....

Just an idea if you ever get tired of the aluminum lid I had mine coated by the local Line-X guy. I think he only charged me like 60 bucks or something close to that. Came out awesome. In this pic it looks grey but it's black.

 

Great thread with some good info.
I have been looking at getting tires in this size.

 

What brand did you go with on the rear bumper?

 

So quick question for anyone who has dealt with Sam's Club and getting tires installed, I asked them today about the 235s because they're $185 each and they have an instant rebate of 50 bucks so basically I'm only paying $10 for mounting and balancing and that would be golden however even though it's a tougher tire and it's a better tire it's going down buy 10 millimeters to what the truck came with in the 245s. So they're telling me they can't do it.

Now I can jack up the truck and pull all the wheels and tires off and use the wifes CRV to take them down there if they're not the ones that bolt the wheels to the vehicle they won't offer any of their extended service or benefits and lifetime replacements or whatever they do.

I just thought having such a large 10 ply tire and in all-terrain configuration might be worth having lifetime balance and rotate, I have a feeling they might go out of balance more than others down the road but I could just be me.

What would you guys do to legally and or technically find a way around this?

I know the last time I went to Discount Tire and ask about the 235s they didn't have any problem with taking my money if I so chose and putting them on my truck.

 

Im having a hard time finding the popular brands (Goodyear Adventure, General, even Hankook) A/T tires in a lower 4 ply for this size tire. Any brands of this tire in this size in a 4 ply?

 

Local guys
www.cruisinoffroad.com

 

As far as I know they are all going to be 10-ply only.

 

Thats what I was finding Greenbean. Thanks for the help!!!

 

sorry the the late reply! im still interested in 235s or 255s though. how are the duratracs holding up and have you lifted it?

 

Yup Yup,

Live in Asheville now.

And I found out today SAMS has a 50 instant rebate on tires.
So basically your paying 10 bucks to M&B...

Problem is I have to come in with 235s on it or bring in my wheels and request them, if I go that route I lose all type of free lifetime rotate and balance and such. No mileage guarantee anyways...Not to worried about road hazards as its BFG with 10-plys.

What would you guys do?

I am hoping to convince my wife I can have new tires for my birthday!

 

That looks really nice.

 

i have a guy who is selling 6 bfg kos for 750. i think i could grab them for 5. 235/85s and only 500 miles on them. came off a dually. anyone run the ko1 in this size?

 

I wanna ask a quick question here in regards to BFGoodrich in the 235 size tires,

Sam's Club has them at about 183 per tire, I found a somewhat close to me distributor that is overstocked on the 235 version of the mud terrain, it literally would be the same price whether I did the 235 BFGoodrich tires in a mud terrain or an all-terrain. I'm pretty sure BFGoodrich no longer makes the mud terrain in the 235, should I just say what the heck and get the mud terrain?

These would look fricken SICK, and perform like no other, lol...!

 

As long as the DOT dates aren't around 5 years old I'de try 500 for sure.

 

GB i bought some used km2s that were pretty well used and then put another 10k miles on them. They hold up really well and when i sold them i was asking 250 and i have people trying to buy them for 500! I say buy 2 sets and ship one set to me!

 

Lol...

Not sure the wife would let me do that,

But we shall see.

 

How are these on wet roads?

I've had no trouble out of my last three sets of 255/85/16 km2's and 285/75/16 ST Maxx' on my last 01.

However, I just bought a '12 RC and it has a set of 265/75/16 Toyo at2's and they are absolutely the worst tire I've ever had on a wet road...

Therefore, I'm debating between the 265/75/16 and 235/85/16 ko2's.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

they are great on wet roads! really good grip
