New BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2

#1 Post by StuartL » Sat Nov 29, 2014 9:53 am

I just bought some BFG M/T's and now they have come out with what looks like a great All-Terrain tire. :roll:

They even come with "stone ejectors", it will be interesting to see how they stack-up against the M/T's

Have a look at the promotional video...

I love the KO2s, got mine a few weeks ago, look great on my 110. I get a little control arm rub with the 265/75/16 because shoulder is a little wider but only when steering is locked.

What wheels and offset have you got?

Welcome, by the way. Freshly-imported TD5 by the look of things?

I have the standard Land Rover alloy wheels 7jx16x30.0AH2 and a 2" lift. Spacers would resolve the rub but not sure if it's a good idea.

Yes, imported the 110 in September when I moved back to Canada after living in London for a decade. in Lomdon it was a shiny shopping trolley but here it's a truck that actually goes into low gear and diff lock once in a while!

There are adjustable steering stops. They are intended to be adjusted to just prevent the tires touching the radius arms. Watch for contact with the rear spring perches with those rims. With the wider perches on a 110 those wheels (that are intended for a Disco/RRC) can cause the tire to hit the perches when articulating off road.

The tread pattern is almost the same as the General Grabber AT2 I just put on the wifes Pathfinder, but the BFG doesn't have as deep of tread.
