New Tires KO2’s

[Sneezy]

Just had my dealer install a set of KO2’s in the standard size (265/70R17) on my F150. They are surprisingly quiet, I would say they are on par with the factory fit Pirelli Scorpions that mine originally came with. I did like that I got 60k out of the Pirelli’s but the traction of these KO2’s is super impressive, and the Pirelli’s sucked. I’m completely sold on these tires, even without sizing up.
Anyone on the fence about them, they definitely get a ‘yes’ vote from me

Yeah I love my K02's. Just wish they weren't so heavy, they will drop your fuel economy some, 1-2 mpg, but beyond that they are amazing.

They also look a lot better on a 17 than a 20. I'm thinking of going up a size on my next set to just get some more side wall.

Is your truck levelled or stock height?

I’m looking at getting KO2s on my 24 when it comes in, but thinking about sizing up to a 285. Just think the stock 265s might look a tad small with a level.

I have 285/70 17 Ko2. Great Offroad, decent on road, but yeah they're heavy and dropped my MPG's some

My truck isnt leveled, I do always carry a decent payload in the bed, so I do tend to ride level, but it’s not with a kit.

I agree though if you lift the front end with a leveling kit the 265’s would looks small

Yeah I have noticed a small dip already in fuel economy (1-2mpg like you said), but they are definitely worth the hype in my opinion

I have about 62k miles. I’ve had my truck 13 months (9/22 build, purchased new off the lot in 12/22 with 9 miles on it) so I’m flying without a warranty now.

I bought this as my work truck since I’m self employed, so it’s pretty much all business miles hauling payload. For reference my other car which I don’t use for my business is an older Mercedes S-Class, and it only gets about 2k miles per year put on it

jesus christ that’s a lot of miles in a short time span. i personally would’ve opted for extended warranty if i was in your shoes but to each their own.

Do those tires have white lettering on the other side?

Mine do not, they have black letters on both sides. I think they make a few different versions of them, the ones I have are the KO2 T/A Baja Champion

I’m hoping for 10 years and 4-500k miles of work duty from it, then I’ll let it have a nice retirement as my farm truck

BFG makes 2 versions of the KO2’s.

Here are 285/65/20 with a 2” front lift (Bilstein) on stock rims.. rides really nice, handles great.. it did get a bit more thirsty

That wheel/tire combo looks great! I have those same black wheels on my 23 and they look plain with the stock hankook tires. Any rubbing or issues? Is the 2" level the only mod you did to to get them to fit?
