how big are your tires on your truck what are your tire measurements. From ground to top of tire looks awesome btw

From the ground to top of tire it's 33.5" and it's just shy of 11" wide with the rims that I have.

Hey guys I just got a new set of BFG AT KO2 275-60-20 on my 2014 Crew Cab. What do you think?

I can't find any mud in the parking lot of my local mall.

Here's the pics of my truck (2015 All Terrain) I have the 285/65/20 with a 2.5" level in the front only. There is only a slight rub in the front when i lock the tires while turning. I have taken it on gravel, mud, and packed dirt and haven't had any issues with the tires being too large. I love them, been over three months so far, they have been awesome.

 

Here is where the tire rubs on the inside of the well. Not sure if it is because the All Terrain's come with that carpet crap. It would be easy enough to cut out, and the piece it is rubbing on actually is sagging forward a little bit and at an angle heading towards the tire. Not sure if you can see it that well in the picture.

 

 

This looks awesome. This is the 2nd truck on this site running these with a level w/o problems, good to see as these tires are what I'm planning to buy. A guy I know has these in 35x12.50x18 on a Ford and they are really good looking tires. Per BFG specs the 35's (18") are the same diameter as the 285/65/R20, but the 35's are 1" wider. Do you think they would fit on your truck if they were 1" wider? Would a 1.5" body lift help?

Got any pics straight on or from the rear? I'm curious if these 285's look narrow for their height.

I'll try and get some more pics in soon. Took some today around noon and the sun and shadows blurred out the tires.

 

Not sure why BFG says 34.5", as that is what I was thinking they were too. Discount Tire even said they were going to come in just shy of 35". I did measure my the tires after it had sat there overnight, not sure If that makes a difference. Either way, 2.5" level with this size tire will fit with only minor rub. I love the way they look and I got all the tire I wanted out of them.

Did you measure them with the weight of the truck on them? I'm sure that would squat them at least 1/2", if not more. When you say the width was just under 11", were you measuring the tread itself, edge to edge? I think the mfg includes the sidewall ballooning in their specs but I'm not sure. I don't remember exactly but when I measured the tread on a 35x12.50R18 KO2 it was definitely under 12". Tires still looked huge up close though. I didnt think to measure height but wish I had now.

In for more pics, especially pics of the tread width.

I measured with the weight of the truck on, I had tires installed at 1000 miles and I haven't taken them off, I have driven little over 2000 miles only on them. For width I measure just the tread itself, not any of the bloat from the tires. Sorry for the delay in pics guys, been busy and I'm finally getting my exhaust done tomorrow! Flowmaster super 44, single in dual out, three inch all throught with two 2.5" pipes dumping out each side. But that's another story and another thread. Its night time so I hope the pics are alright. I'll try and get more tomorrow once I get my truck back.

The full front and full rear pics aren't showing the tires clearly. I can post those tomorrow's. Sorry for keeping you waiting ??? it makes the heart grow fonder. If you are waiting for my pics to pull the trigger on tires I'm sorry, just go for it though! You know they'll fit, it'll be awesome. If you put wider tires on stock wheels you will more likely have more rub. But taller may start to have rub issues in back without actual lift or something, right? I could be wrong.

I put the same tires on my truck, traded the goodyears in on them , discount tire gave me 100 bucks a tire for them, think i ended up around 800 for the new set. I have always been a BF fan. Hope these hold up like the other ones. FYI i put on 265/60 / 20 with no rubbing before my level kit. probably could go bigger now that i have the level kit on it

Alfieboy and Mojado,

 

How does the width of the 275s and 285s look from the front/rear view? I've had 275s before and they looked fine from the side, but too skinny from the front/rear. Got a couple of Tundras with 285s on Motos in the parking lot and they don't look much better for width. I'm hoping the KO2s are wider in person

I kept wondering the same thing. There are a billion pics of them on this f150 thread. My tires should be here today. I really wanted the 35x12.50-18s but I dont want to risk ordering wheels and tires just to find out they wont fit without more lift than I want to do.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
