285/60/18 vs 285/6518 KO2

[GoneDunnIt]

I ultimately ended up deciding on 285/65/18 KO2s because I was able to find them for $250 per tire compared to $305 for the equivalent AT3s. So far so good:

Hey @NLE - I have a '21 HE and after feeling like I've put enough miles on the stock tires I'm looking to upgrade as well and have asked myself the same question you did at the beginning of this thread.

I'm curious how the 285/65/18 KO2s worked out for you? Did you upgrade the suspension at all? I'm concerned about rubbing and hoping to not mess with the suspension as much as possible.

Thanks!

This should be a really easy fit. 275/70/18 as well.

No upgrades needed at all for 285/65/18s on the HE wheels. I did have a minor rub at full lock but the rub went away after I got the car properly aligned. KO2s are great so far (40k+ miles now) and I will be going with KO3s next once more sizes are available.

Big fan of this look. Was a little worried 60 vs 65 sidewalk would look not filled in enough but looks about the same to me. Especially with the more aggressive KO2 sidewalk.
