Bf goodrich ko2

[Opiedog28]

I got quoted $320 a tyre from a shop in wanneroo, 265 75 16 k02.

[Bertweaval]

Anyone new running Ko2s? If so then would you mind letting me know your thoughts on them please?

[FAIL]

My brother has them on his 200 and said they are a massive improvement over the old BFG AT.

[Bertweaval]

Cheers, they do sound better than the old ATs, having a few sizing issues though with 17" wheels on a stockish invincible as that don't seem to come in 265/65/17? Devon 4x4 suggested 245/70/17 but reaped tyres told me they had fitted the old ATs onto someone's mk7 and they still rubbed. Looking for a non rubbing size of ko2....?

[alexisdmtr]

They come in 265-65-17 but look for a price of 40% higher than that for a 16".i have them on my lux for a year now maybe.i drive mostly on highways but i go offroad on weekends during hunting season.They are not noisy on asphalt and they have a good grip on it on dry and wet.Although im wondering why would you drive fast on any road with a DC car .i did more than 40k with them and thats how they look currently.Imo its the best of both worlds

Fitted 285 K02's to my rig a few weeks back.. Quiet and drive awesome, havent offroaded them yet though

[Fixa4377]

A Bob-Jane fella told me on the weekend that the KO'2's are seeing chipping problems?

I will still be grabbing a set when I can though, Seems to be every Tyre supplier pushes different tyres depending on which month it is,

Go with your gut

JohnnyT they look the ducks nuts mate!

[outbackjoe]

I dunno about KO2s specifically, but generally BFG seem to go with harder compounds, which is good for wear life but bad for chipping.

[greysrigging]

Yes, in my experience BFG's are very prone to chipping. One must pay close attention to air pressures.....and even then rough Pilbara rocky roads cruel them....

[beachbum62]

yer I got them today, down in Rockingham 265/70/r17's for $360 each prob paid to much although I could find anywhere here in Perth cheaper, happy bloke here though, going to put it through the wringer in the next few weeks down south

Do they actually stop in the wet now????

[Bertweaval]

Been doing some more research and seems that a few people are running the new ko2 245/70/17 without rubbing problems. I'd love to be running the 265/70/17 though but guessing they won't fit with body modifications

That's because 245/70/17 is the same nominal diameter as 265/65/17, which is stock on SR5s

[n3rb]

Just got mine fitted in today along with a lift on a 2013. Big headaches before hand trying to decide what time to get with unclear answers about what fits a 2013 SR5
Deets include 2" bilstein lift, dynamic 16x8 0 offset, 265/75/16

Also learnt unfortunately the American racing bajas in the same size didn't fit which sucked because they are a nicer rim. Also test fitted a gecko triangle in the same size and those didn't fit either.

[n3rb]

Just got mine on.....like your taste beachbum and homer

[john253a]

I was quoted $330 shipped to Melbourne from brizy for 37x12.5x18 ko2
Nill stock local due to size

How well do they perform in wet?

looking good mate what size you go for ??

The problem being that the old 265/65/17 A/T's rubbed on some hilux's in the UK despite corresponding with the sizes on paper with the stock duellers fitted as standard (although the 245/70/17 didn't rub) - basic maths won't help on this occasion I'm afraid . Guess you can find out from my gamble in a weeks time as I've ordered 265/70/17 ko2s on reccommendation from North Devon tyres, they said they've fitted some already with no issues.... I'll post pics and let you know if they really do fit ok to a stock mk7 invincible. Cheers all for your help!

[john253a]

No issues on a road driven and off-road driven is a big differance
