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.

    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.
