Bf Goodrich Ko2

[kevdebbi]

Its time to replace the Cooper AT3s before tackling Tasmania, I am seriously looking at the new KO2. I have heard mixed reviews about the older KOs' in the wet and wondered how the new version is fairing in the real world? Jax have the 265/70-17 for $355 fitted, but still shopping around for the best price.

I made 20mm spacers for that size on my 120.

My 265/70 spare was fitted to the rear door by the tyre dealer... No spacer... Am I missing something? Looks like he took off the bit of plastic that sat between the tyre and door at the bottom.

Just got the KO2 265/70's fitted on my 120.
They replaced 265/65 KO's that had done 110,000 kms cannot complain

The KO2 are definitely quieter than the old KOs.

how's your fuel economy been since the swap ????

what size spacer do you need for the spare wheel for 265/70/17 k02

15mm or 20mm ?

Not long back from the first trip on ours, pretty happy with them. Hard to compare to the old KO's but they are at least as good, time will tell if they are better and by how much.

Side note. Haven't done a lift yet and the 265/70 R17s fit great. No rubbing.

[Bschotty]

I just got mine today! 5 tyres fitted for just over $1700.
Only been on Tarmac so far but very impressed with lack of road noise.
Just need to get off road to try them out this weekend!

Good choice I think. Always wanted BFG's.

Had them fitted to my rig today as well, price ended up being lower than I was quoted

5 tyres fitted and balanced, $1710, so $342 each, cheaper than the KO's they replaced.

Cant comment on the noise, was listening to AC DC on the drive home so couldn't hear anything else

This is how it was before.




After I used the heat gun. Will probably replace it later anyway, this one was a bit buckled for some reason.

I had a good look at it and all sorted.

The reason why they were rubbing was the plastic mould on the inside of the mudflap. I will post some pics. It was sticking out a bit. Grabbed the heat gun and moulded it back, all good now!

If they rub, might need a good wheel aligner to sort it out.
