Hi all thought I would post my new pics of the KO2's!!! Running at 40psi. I wanted the 275/70r18 size but they are not coming out until march and we needed some tires to get us through winter. As far as on road goes they are really quite, can barely hear them on the freeway or in the city. Ride is nice just a tad bit stiffer but really not bad at all. I haven't been able to hit any trails but we mostly do mild to moderate trails only. Full size spare fits no problems at all

The SUV will pretty much stay stock. I took out the back seats, put in the dvd override system, and have the slee sliders on order, putting them on next week... After that I should be done

Are those shots of the FJ in Ouray? My favorite place other than Steamboat.

Is the tread pretty similar to the originals? I like the new shoulder design.
 
Very, very nice, Rando Kuruza-san. Those look great on your rig :clap:
 
Thanks! Tread is close to the original design but you can tell there are not exactly alike.. The blocks seem not so uniform and There seems to be a lot more sipes..

FJ shots are in American Fork canyon 45 minutes outside of Salt Lake City... Cool place there is a cool little state park call timpanogos cave
 
Wonder how these would look on a 200 series LX570? They make them in 275/55/20 size. Think it would be like a guy in a tuxedo wearing combat boots?
 
Discount told me I can try for 30 days and exchange out if I didn't like... You can always try and see. Maybe more like James Bond with a bazooka...

This is what I am thinking of as well. I have been looking for a set of ATs that are quiet on tarmac - as I mostly do highway kms on the LX - bonus if they come in stock 20".
 
very cool - any rubbing with them or other issues? our OE trees have maybe 5k left in them and these look great (not to mention i am a fan of the BFG A/T's on my D90)

Mscruiser did a little excel spread sheet and it seems this size doesn't really rub. This particular tire in this size has no rubbing issues at all for me driving around the city and highway. I don't know about on the trail have not been yet, but will post back once I do.
 
Got it was on my to do will do now
 
Will if anyone is interested to know. My gas mileage has been hit by about 1 mpg after calculating for the bigger tire size with 2 tanks. This is what I was expecting. The tire is 58.4 lbs
 
Installed Friday. ..very few miles so no impressions yet except firmer ride and more responsive at low speeds.
