Great tire! 275/70's on 18" stockers.

Running 32 psi rear, 35 psi front cold.

What psi do you guys like for a "happy medium" in regards to mpg and ride.

Went to order some KO2 today. Local shop called the supplier who said BFG has zero availability and no manufacturing date for 275/70/18.

 

Figures. Also ordered my 5100s....back ordered north American wide.

Just heard back from BFG customer service...they confirmed the above. Some places likely have some left over stock but they are currently on backorder with no manufacturing date available.

Had my KO2's installed yesterday and I unloaded the 500 mile original SRA's this morning. I went with the stock size as I am not doing this for looks at 265/65/18 and the KO2 is a touch smaller than the SRA as my speedo reads high now versus bang on before... but it's very little, maybe 1 mph out.

 

I shopped a bit and being I am in Alberta Kal Tire is the dealer for them. Local Ford dealer beat Kal by about $200 so needless to say that's where they put them on. It was kind of nice to have those guys work on this new Chev briefly. ... it's the last dealer I visited with the F150 I traded for this Chev that told me they couldn't fix my Ford. .. the tech saw me and asked me if my Ford was any better. My reply? .... It was so good I sold it lol.

Went to Costco and they can get them from their warehouse, confirmed. So they have lots of them stockpiled.

 

...now if only Bilstein would hurry up and bang up some 5100s a little faster...latest update for those is end if October.

Posted this in the wheel and tire thread a couple weeks ago, thought I would report after 1500kms that I still absolutely love these tires. Found myself in some mud yesterday and they weren't even trying in 2WD where my SR-A's would have been having a hard time. Would recommend.

 

BFG KO2 275/65R20, RC 2" level (no rubbing)7ADD3274-7376-4C72-A45C-CC100C94F3BE_zps

Very little road noise, MPG doesn't seem to have been affected very much and ride quality is only slightly firmer than stock @ 42psi. Speedo reads ~6km/h low at 100km/h. Paid $1340 CDN installed. Overall very happy so far, I was debating a lot between the 60 and 65 but I'm glad I went this route. Looking forward to trying them in the snow.

Here's a before and after also:DD362A86-62FE-4CF1-A720-84C146F5EB69_zps

Do you have any pictures of of the tire and how close it is to the wheel well. Im on the fence on if I should get 65 or 60. Your trucks looks great

FYI for the Canadians at least. GM dealers will price match Costco. Got mine installed last week for $297 a tire. 275/65/18.

I don't have any pictures like that but with the levelling kit the 65's are fine. At least 1" of clearance at minimum when at full lock. Having read through the entire wheel & tire thread apparently 60's will fit without rubbing without a level. Either way I'm happy with the 65's but I'm sure both would look great. Other option is to do 285 or 295/60's.

 

Depending on where you are in Ontario you could certainly come take a look for yourself.

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
