You know my preferences, no pressure
The BFG's are great choices too though, especially with the current deal. You can't go wrong with either.
I will say that you might as well go with the 285's...tires take a while to wear down, and if you go with the 265's you might find yourself wishing you went bigger in 6 months.
Isn't Kenda a Goodyear Co?
I thought the Klever and the Duratracks shared a similar carcass?
I love the tread pattern on the Klevers!
From Google...
Nope, no relation. You might be thinking of the Kelly line that Goodyear owns.
Yup, great tire! Not quite as refined as the Duratrac when it comes to road noise, but a great performer. Inventory on the TSR always seems spotty though, along with its cousin the Fierce.
@sleepdoc I've purchased 2 sets of KO2's in the last 5 months on craigslist. One set had about 10k miles on them, I think I paid $550, but had to pay another $100 to get them mounted on the wheels. The 2nd set I picked up a few weeks ago for $150 that have about 50-60% tread remaining (perfect for spare/trailer tires).

Don't go smaller than 285/75 R16. I have 315's on mine and they still look too small, but I have a disease! 
What size tire is best for a 100 with 2" lift?

So I went with the K/O2's through Discount Tire. The sale was great and they were really what I wanted.
I also went with the 285's and they look awesome. I don't feel like I'm driving on Prius tires anymore.
Thanks to everyone who shared their experience with me.

I ordered some as well with that sale! For my LX, coming from stock and going to 285/75/16's (1.6" taller and .4" wider). can't wait to get them mounted next week!

My son has those on his 04 LC. They look awesome. Great choice.
Here's my 05 with KO2 275/70/18 on the stock rims. 2.5in OME. It's a very simple look and I love it. Rides like a Cadillac at 80 mph and floats on bumpy dirt roads. This happens to be the stock tire width but a little taller. Some would maybe want spacers but I like the stock skinny look and it handles great. Here is what the tire chart website tells me. Stock = 275/60R18 = 31x10.8R18 What I have now = 275/70R18 = 33.2x10.8R18 Best part is no rubbing, no trimming, balance and mount the new tires and I was out the door for about $1150 at Discount. Here is the tire chart website I like: Tire Size Chart
Hey runnerfan what brand is that bike carrier? Do you have any other shots of it?
Apologies, not trying to hijack this 3 month old thread but not sure how to reference this picture otherwise.

Thanks. Love the kids dust dwgs btw.
So from my thumb measurement on my screen those are evenly spaced? More to the point it'll take 4 adult bikes?

Runnerfan, Is that an oem hitch or aftermarket? Can you fit a 275/70/18 spare with the hitch in place?
