Checked with someone I know at Michelin today, and doesnt look good for the KO2's in Australia until late next year.

On the BFG facebook page someone has asked about the Australian release dates for the KO2, the reply from BFG was:
BFGoodrich Tires Australia & New Zealand Hi Paul first sizes will come around March... Please check in with us then as we will have more confirmed details. Cheers
Not long for those that are waiting!Comment

I hope our size is one of the first released.Comment

In the US, the BFG website only lists a 275-70-17 for a 17inch rim, at approx 817mm this is 13mm larger in diameter than the 270-65-17 and 41mm larger than the 265-65-17. Time will tell what sizes we get I suppose. A bit of propaganda to view below

These look the goods. Will have to wait as only have 65000 on my existing A/T KO's and still have more than 1/2 tread left. Also have a new set of M/T KM2 to wear out. Always had BFG MUDs and A/T since our 60 series in 1988 other than some Kelly AWR and some Bridgestones on a Hilux.

Hmm I called up my local jax this week at Blacktown NSW and they said they were $330 each. They reckon even at that price they weren't making much even with me buying 5. I wonder if they get them from the same place and I am just ripped offOriginally posted by Anth120playdo View Post2008 Prado 120 GXL V6 auto. Stock...but slowly building it upComment

Hi MD Simpson - this is my first post, so hopefully I'm doing it correctly! I am in the process of fitting BFG AT/KO 265 65 R17 tyres to my 150 series Prado Altitude. Are these the same size BFGs as you fitted? It's just that I've seen people referring to 265 70s in this thread and wondered if I have the size wrong?Originally posted by MDSimpson View PostComment

265/65R17 is the factory size
266/70R17 is a bigger size, it's quite a popular choice as it fits with no mods and gives a little more clearance
Depends on what you want to use the vehicle for I guess, don't forget, bigger tyres means worse fuel consumption.[LEFT]Silver 150 Facelift
