Funny -- we got socked with 14" of it here in Howell, and wasn't thrilled with the stock General 255/55 R17s (quel suprise, right?) when I made a run to pick up a snowblower belt this afternoon. Looking enviously at my wife's FJ with stock A-T KOs, so starting to research getting a set of KO2s for the Sierra...

Oh dang you guys got that much up there?! Only about 3-4 here in hemlock.. I highly recommend the ko2 I did a lot of research and quite happy I did!

We received about 6-7" of snow last night through this morning. Went for a drive with the KO2's. I found them to be simply outstanding in the very snowy and icy conditions. Pretty fun driving around in it, actually. :)

Glad to hear all of these great experiences with these. I just paid for some yesterday and get them installed at lunch today and i'm pretty excited about it.
275/70/18
Now the only decision is white letters out or black?!

I personally like the white letters out.. I've only seen a few on black trucks and I think they look good.. But with your brush guard and such I would say black letter out

Will 275/70r18 fit on a stock truck (no leveling) without rubbing? I've always liked my all terrain's these car tires gotta go.

My 275/70/18 KO2s fit totally stock.

If you have a 2014 or newer, you should be able to fit a 275/70/18 without any modifications, as long as you're using stock rims. There's been a few guys on here that have done it successfully.

Thanks for the response guys. It is a 2015. I love the look of the 275/70/18. I think they do look more finished with the leveling kit. I was also considering 275/65 and leaving it stock, but can't seem to find any pics of this setup

Search for member "Brock Samson" on here. He has a 1.5" level and 275/65/18's. I think his truck looks good.

Hey. Finally got my KO2's in a 275/65-20 size. Only a few hundred k so far but really like em. Almost as smooth as the shitty ass sra's. Will post pics soon.

How much psi should a guy run on a 285/65/18? Rookie Canadian asking

I just had these installed at Costco by my buddy, they have a program that converts the psi to ensure the same load limits. He said run them at 55psi.

Can't seem to find a pic of the ko 2's in a 275/65 18 mounted with factory stance. I was hoping to improve the look and ride without sacrificing power/mileage/front end components.

Yes,the 275/55 18 would be a good 1.5 inches smaller diameter than the factory size. I was wanting a little bigger. According to the calculator 275/65 18 is about half inch taller half inch wider.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
