Any chance you have a picture of the front end with more light? Sorry for the trouble.

looks great! How much did you have to pay for the powder coat? Can you clean them like you could when they were silver or do you have to treat them differently?

Package deal $1350 for tires and powder coating. Clean with a sponge very easy.

I like that size 285/65/18! I’m thinking of replacimg the 275/65/18 Cooper’s with BFG KO2 275/65/18??
It’s a Stock 2013 and I don’t plan to level it since it’s main use is to tug a little travel trailer and it sits nice and even with a Equilizer WeightDistrubution hitch. I’m more interested in better gas mileage. It’s getting about 10.5 MPG. Pulling 4,800 Lbs 21ft. Should I stay w stock 285/60/18’s instead? Thx.

Folks,
I have "searched" until I'm too tired to look anymore for this. Most pictures I see are after modifications are done. I'm looking to put either the BFG KO2's or Michelin LTX A/T 2 on my 200 series, with no leveling kit or spacers. Not leveling this time around because I want the ride to feel as comfortable as I can get to stock tires but with a slightly more aggressive look. I had a leveling kit and 285/65/18 on previous 200 and the ride difference was considerably rougher. I'd maybe consider 275/70/18 but afraid will fill up the wheel well too much. I am keeping stock wheels on. I know this has been beaten to death, but I just can't seem to find pictures of what I'm looking for. Thanks for anyone's help.

Silly question, but does the OEM spacer induce a tougher ride?

I decided to stick w stock size of 280/60/18 instead of going with 275/65/18 - BFG KO2’s. I want to keep it stock. No lift or spacers.
Right tire is the stock on 2013LC 280/60/18.
Left is 275/65/18 which is nearly 1/2 more narrow. About 2” less rubber on the ground. Different tread patterns but gives you an idea. Nearly same diameter.
BFG’s in stock size come in Load D 8 ply 2910 load. No E load. Which might be a more harsh ride. Anyhow,
should make a good tug vehicle.

Wondering the same thing....

Here is the 285 K02's on my 200 series in these pictures. I am the only 200 in the group https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=S3dvS0NPX2x1c2k2alF3T0VVRGhQandEOXZpSGdB

Negligible. The ATs would have a greater effect, but still not harsh.

FYI stock cruiser size is 285/60/18. Not a big deal, just wanted the info to be correct for others.

Older post - but just wanted to thank you for this helpful info and photo.

Love the look of the black OEM rims. Should have been an option.

 

[thammer62]

Not mine - but LT285/65/18 KO2s in town for reference. No lift.

 

[thammer62]

Here is another one - some pics I took (tire shopping myself) of stock size LT285/60/18 KO2s down the road. No lift.

For those with BFG KO2, how is the interior noise from the BFG? Noticeable? Loud?

 

[JHubb2010]

2019 with 275/65/R18 BFG All Terrain KO2's. No lift and zero rubbing at full lock. No excessive road noise and handles great.
