No issues- and I don't expect to get any more off road than I have been driving. Maybe I should be concerned- but seems great.

Thinking you probably don't have to air down as much as E-rated tires in order to get tread spread?

I go down to about 22 pounds. Seems about right based on how they looked under full compression.
 
@BTUMAN - I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if it was going to fail you'd have found it's limit by now.
 
Good thread guys, I would love to see some more pictures of the 34x10.5x17 mounted up to see the stance on flat ground without spacers or tundra axles. Those were great shots of them flexing aired down off road.

I would also love to see those 285 75r17 Toyo AT2s mounted up. I have these tires on my stock rims in the stock factory size that came with my 2013 200 that I just got and I like them so far. My RWs are still in the shed with some old cooper ATP 285 70r17 that came with those rims. I think eventually I would like some road tires on the stock rims for DD and long highway trips and then put some thicker rubber on the RWs for some off road capability. We'll see, no rush at this point, just loving my new ride.

285/75/17 Toyo ATIIs on Rock Warrior rims, Tundra IFS, close to 4" lift. typical mud flap trimming, no other binding or rubbing.

I would also very much appreciate anyone who can provide pictures of 34x10.5x17 KO2's on LC200's with NO LIFT and describe if they rub at full lock. (Non-action shots from side / front / back) If they fit they would seem to be perfect tire for those of us want the option to lift or run a front OEM spacer but have not gotten around to it yet.
 
Beautiful rig, but it appears to be lifted. Do you know if they rub with no lift?

Another difference on his rig is it has far more room in front of the tires with space the ARB bumper opens up. On my 200, the spot most prone to rubbing when I installed spacers with my KO2's was the front skirting area that isn't there any more after bull bar install.

Do you run 285/70's or 34x10.5's? if the latter, do they rub?

285/70/17

No rubbing pre or post lift.

With spacers added, I needed to remove front mud flaps behind front wheels & the tiny little flap(?) in front of them.

Anyone? Anyone mount 34x10.5x17 KO2's on stock LC200 with NO LIFT yet? Still trying to determine if they will rub....
 
Long story short I am getting new tires as I'm putting my Toyo's on my wife's 4Runner. Since a lot of us have Rock Warriors I'd like a dedicated thread for tire options. Not many people have updated the tire and wheel database recently.

I want to go bigger than my current size 285-70/17. I would like to also try the new BFG KO2. Problem is the size options are not great. I'd like to get to 33.5-34".

Anybody try the 34 /10.50R17? Skinner tire but gain over an inch in height. It's only D rated and White letters. 305-65/17 is a wash to current size. 305-70/17 would be ideal but not offered on the KO2. 315-70/17 is available but not sure if it will fit the wheel. Says 8-11".

Other thoughts or suggestions?

I measured circumference of KO2 285/70r17 and 34x10.5r17 last year. They were 104.2" and 104.3" respectively. The difference was more in width and load rating.

I just did a bunch of testing and found that the Cooper STT Pro in 295/70r17 on rock warriors only fit when I went to a total chaos upper control arm and ARB bull bar.
 
You may have to pioneer that tire size and results. seems as though no one here leaves there stuff stock
 
Here they are cleaned up and with the ring blacked out with plastic dip. I like the contrast.

Did you measure when mounted? I just had them mounted on my RW and measured there was an increase of 1" in height for the 34s and about 3/4" smaller width than my 285s.

Those measurements were from unmounted tires.
I do have mounted 34 KOs on my FJ which is parked right next to my 200 on RW with the 295s. They both measure 32" tall exactly while under load. I know that height would rub the front bumper. I have a bull bar so it does t matter. For width with stock arms, my 295s pressed hard into that arm when turned inward. The KOs being .75" less on one sidewall might be enough to make it work.

I'd go out in the garage and mount them up but the lug design is different.
 
Really nice!!! I'm debating whether to do same on my vehicle or just powder coat the entire wheel black.

The decision factor for me was that I pretty regularly go off road and I can more easy fix scratches with the plastic dip. Those rings really take the brunt of the rocks, etc.
