Thats odd, mine dont rub at all?
But agreed on the tyre noise - they are bloody excellent for an all terrain!
I rekon there is more tyre noise off the Michelins on my wifes accord than my all terrains!

[Turbo Piston]

Got my wheels done. They do rub but only when I turn on the left hand side. This is because the guard on that side is not flush like the right side. So will try and fix that. Love the tyre so far, thought it would be noisier than my current Pirelli's because of the tread, but they are not.

[Turbo Piston]

Awesome, can't wait to get them!

I had 265/70 BFG's on my first Prado with a 2" suspension sag and they didn't rub

I haven't had a single rub issue on my 265/70 KO2's.

No lift needed for 265/70R17. However being a square shouldered tyre that the KO2s are, it may rub on the chassis.

[Turbo Piston]

Really, need a lift for sure?

[VKPrado]

yesh 265/70 will fit, thats what most of us run and it will give more clearance. win win

A lift is required so that the tyres don't rub on the fronts if you go with the 70's.

Glad I found this thread!! I am just about to go through this process.

I have the 120 series with the stock wheels 265/65/17. The KO2 doesn't come in this size but has them in 265/70/17 - any reason why these wouldn't fit? Because when I called yesterday they said no tyres available for you!

I really want these and really need some tyres.

Are the standard BFG A/T still available or is the KO2 replacing it (sorry haven't read all of the thread).
I got a price today for BFG's in A/T 265/65/17 for $290.00 ea inc F&B and disposal of the old ones so I don't know if they were old A/T's or KO2's. This was from Bob Jane so I don't think they were grey imports. Worst price was $365.00.
Regarding stock, two tyre joints both said a new container landed yesterday and should take 10 days to clear but with the trouble on Sydney wharves at the moment if could be longer.

Yeah I was told by my tyre bloke that the KO's are being ran out and not being produced anymore.
Thats why I went the KO2's as I dont really want to be out the back of nowhere with a shot tyre and not able to get an exact replacement!

I guess that would be one consolation of city livin, more competitive pricing on product and service.
While I'am a believer in buying local to support the local business, they need not take the p... proverbial.

And tyre disposal too.
A lot of tyre joints will sting you for that too if you dont purchase from them.

[AJ120]

You just have to factor fitting into the equation.

The local tyre dealer has a sign up on the front door stating they have a MINIMUM $35 charge per tyre for fitting tyres not purchased in store. Might pay to actually get a fitting price before buying on EBay.
