Default Bfg ko2 265/70/16

I’m swapping my 18” Hurricane’s for basic steel 16”s I’ve had powder coated.

How noisy are the KO2s? Last AT tires I had were Guard Dogs, which were silly. But I knew that going into them.

I expect a little bit of road num, but don’t want to be annoyed by it.

Also thought they might come a bit cheaper than $250 I see.

2” TF MD lift.

Do 5 x18” Hurricanes, with 3 year old cheap road tires, plenty of tread, average black plasti dip …. have any value?

Had the KO’s fitted by Mavis Mobile service. I detest interacting with Mavis in any way, but this was super smooth. Last night had a few texts with the online sales guy, agreed a quote, adjusted because he didn’t have to remove anything, tech showed up this morning and it went great.

$95 for them to come out and mount on my rims, while I switched them over on the car from the 18”s.

Anyway, very happy with the BFGs. Not noisy at all. Like, at all. Really smooth.

the steel rims and fatter tires have a bit of offset, which is cooler.

I’m undecided about the blue lettering. Doesn’t exactly go with my green car.

So, anyone want my Hurricanes? With very serviceable rubber.

I think you'll love them. I also think the blue lettering fades to white fairly quickly.
The strength of the sidewalls were one of the reasons i got the KO's (we have a lot of sharp rocks in our area). And the tread is very versatile and lasts a long time.

Ah, I was expecting white. That will work fine. I’ll give it a minute.

What psi do you run? I currently have 32 front 36 rear. Which kinda looks ok. But without any other basis.

Im still in shock how quiet they are. Altered the whole feel of the car.

Wash the lettering. It readily comes off. Your normal wash water and a scrub brush is best.

I forget my exact tire size but something like 32" Dia and 10.5" tread, and I run around 25 psi on road and about 15 psi off road.

Had KO's on two Broncos and on my Suburban. Great tires. One of the Bronco's still has them, though they are old enough now I would not trust them on a highway trip. The Suburban ate them up in about 50K miles, which is actually above average for that vehicle. I will say that I did notice a hit to mileage and the road noise was "more" on the Suburban. But...I was coming from factory tires that I am sure GM selected for their economy and quietness and I stepped up to a size that rubbed on turns.
