BFG ko2 vs. Cooper STT Maxx

Probably not. Backspacing of wheels has most to do with what rubs. Mine are 4.85" backspacing, so id benefit from a wheel with less BS

 

Fkn badass brother

 

No experience with the Maxx, but I love my ko2s! Awesome in snow. Tried to get stuck in 12 inches going uphill and couldn't. I know that they are snow rated (little mountain sign with snow flake). Are the Maxx snow rated?

 

Mine are the scs sr8’s they have 4.3” bs

 

Yep, the Maxx have a M+S rating

 

Ever looked at the Ridge Grapplers?

 

BFG is TRASH

 

I doubt youll have rubbing issues like i did. A good cmc and some trimming, maybe hammer the pinch weld and you should be good to go

 

Anyway I could get by without the cab mount chop

 

Totally!

 

I have E rated 275/70r17 ST Maxxs. They are burly... and heavy (59lbs!!!). I have about 1k miles on them and they rock in the snow, ice, and rain. They were difficult to balance, but I think that's more a problem with the shop I took it to than the tires.

 

Not if you ever drive the truck offroad..

 

That's what I've noticed about them, 4 lbs heavier than K02's in the same size.

 

Would a 275/70 eliminate some rubbing or about the same?

 

Going with a 275 should eliminate some of the rubbing, but you will likely still have to ditch/trim the mud flaps and maybe do a little trimming of the plastic fender well liner.

 

Come ride wit me an find out!!
I vote st maxx love mine put them thru everything an they keep going. They are heavy an mine have a tendency to pull to the right some nothing drastic.
I have about 38-40k on them an still have 1/2 tread. Love the way ko2 look but don’t perform as well as the coopers in my travels.

 

I had the same set of 5 35’s between two Jeep jk’s... on one Jeep they drove perfect and on the other I always got a slight pull. Spent a bunch kid effort trying to get 2nd Jeep to drive without the pull but it never did. I would say it was not my st Maxx tires! Had them on an f150 also with no issues. Currently run falken at3w and wish I had gone Maxx

 

My goodness you drive alot. It seems like you just got those put on yesterday

 

100mi 5 days a week just to work an back. It was last July

 

Had ST Maxx on my 2011 tacoma now have BFG K02 on my 4runner i'll be switching back to the ST Maxx when the tires are up.
