21" to 20" Wheel Question
#21
I was talking to the Big O guy and he said since BFG KO2s are 10 ply and a very stiff ride, they will eat up the air suspension on a Discovery. They are considered the pinnacle of A/T, but he doesn't recommend putting them on an air ride suspension. Any feedback from those that have the 275/55r20s? Thanks.

I picked up 20” RRS wheels as well, got them for $900 on Craigslist with TPMS. That was a lot cheaper than buying new and I liked the style of them as well. I leased my D5, so keeping stock wheels clean and scratch free. Fitted the 20” with 275/55/20 BFG KO2. A few others have done the same, great way to solve for 21” and save some money.

There is little logic to that claim.
If I drive on glass smooth roads with stiff sidewalls vs slightly rough roads on soft sidewall, which eats the suspension the most?
Sounds to me more like a general dislike/fear/misunderstanding of air suspension...

hmm, this got me thinking. I have a 2022 on order and I was bummed that they no longer offered black 20" wheels, so I had to get 21"s. I may see if the dealer will do a swap of the wheels of the black 20"s on my old '17 when I trade-in. I'd have to get new tires of course for the 2022. Hmmm.
I fear the 21"s will just be more harsh and noisy.
(TPMS: as I remember, many of the factory ones failed on my '17 soon after taking delivery and they were replaced at a Wheel Works)

I just added KO2’s on a used set of 20” I found on Facebook. I had the rims powder coated black by a local firm and they look great.
The KO2’s run well on the road, a little noisier than the 22” road tires that I swapped out, but nothing to upset either me or my family. They handle well, not as good as the all seasons, but not a concern.
I’ve put about 500 miles on them already, including 30 miles of off road trails. Great decision, although wife is asking when we can have the 22”’s back because she prefers the look!
Looking at rock sliders for Lucky8’s or Baha lights next.
