Do they have the snowflake on them as claimed? Nice RRC btw, I keep looking for one here and surprisingly they are hard to find in both good shape & price.
Thanks for the post.

I kinda thought the first ones were normal but I snapped a quick boring shot on the street.

Thanks for the post.
Yep. Snowflake on them. Thanks!
My truck was built up when I bought it with good parts but terrible workmanship. Bad bushings everywhere. Two drives shafts practically falling out. Brakes not working. Running like crap. Snapped axle. It was a mess.

I look forward to trying these tires as they do have a snowflake rating and hope these are a good year round tire for Canada.

Will reply my thoughts once I have them installed.
Finally got the new tires on and the medium duty 2 inch terra firma lift from lucky 8. Love the tires and lift combo, perfect fit and no rubbing etc... Great tire in the snow but certainly a heavy tire. I wish there was a slightly less heavy duty version of this tire. It only comes in load range "E" for this size witch is overkill for this truck and severely reduces its pickup and fuel economy. Mind you I suspect this is true for most off road tires.

What size are those?
I am planning to put on a set of the 305/70/16s when they come out - really want to see what a 12.5" KO2 looks like.

Did you have to flip the spare tire carrier bracket to clear the bumper with the new tire?

I ended up buying the "rover bones" spare tire relocator before even trying to see if the tire would fit. Don't forget that it's not just space from the bumper you need but also the tire is wider and needs to clear the the back of the door. I will check tonight if I think it would have been possible to fit just by flipping the mount .

Thanks and good point, I hadn't considered that aspect. Still need to address it on mine, running 265/65/18's but haven't replaced my spare yet.
