Those look really good. I've had my eye on a set as well. Not sure if I want to go with factory (275/55R20) or a step up like yours and 275/60R20.

 

What did those run you?

Those look awesome! Much more aggressive than the SR-A's I have on my truck. They'll probably be on my short list for tires when I level my truck in a few years.

I am debating over these as well. I just put the Toyo Open Country AT2 on my truck in the same size and love the ride but they are a little tame for my liking. How do they ride compared to stock being 8-ply? Any mileage difference? Thanks!

Let us know how those perform for you. I'm in the market to replace the SR-A crap myself. I really like the look of those. Makes the truck look much better without going up much in size.

Those look awesome! I love the BFG All-Terrains and was wanting to get those KO2 or stick with the KO for my new truck. Just picked up a 2015 SLT All-Terrain, I think those KO2's will look pretty sweet on her!

 

Thanks for the pics!

i want to know how they perform off road. my only worry with them (have have the original ko's right now) is that the center tread blocks are closer together which will be great on the highway but once you get down into the sticky mud how they will handle.

looks great, any rubbing? any lift on that truck?

I have bought the older BFG KO version for my previous vehicle 2004 Silverado 3 times. 265/70R17

 

The first set Got 60,000 miles, second set got 65,000 miles and third set is unknown because I sold the truck with about 4000 miles on them.

 

I have the junk Goodyear LS2s and they horrible, fine when it is dry, otherwise watch out or you will slide off the road. My plan is to get a second set of wheels and run the KO2 in the winter. I hope they last as long and have as good of traction as the KOs did.

 

Good pick.

No rubbing at all. I do have a 2" leveling kit on the front. The ride is great, a little noise over the SR-A's, but I was expecting that. I will let you know about the mud after this weekend, headed to the hunting camp tomorrow.

    • I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!
    • I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be. 
    • I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!
    • I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify. 
    • I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
