Default Finally new rubber! *updated*

I finally got new tires installed last night. I went with the BFG KO2’s in 275/65/20. I would have done the 285’s, but couldn’t justify the price. I had a really good experience with Costco tire Department. Ordered them online, then set up a time to get them installed. Easy. They set the pressure to 50 psi. Is that what other people are running? So far I am super excited about how they look and ride.



Added 1.25” Bora spacers

i'd drop your PSI to 40. Might be a tad smoother ride and your tires will have a little more cushion to them. Otherwise that is a slick looking truck and the tires compliment it very well. What did they run you at costco?

After a $50 rebate they were $1205 installed. I also get a small percentage of that back at the end of the year with my membership. They also do nitrogen instead of regular air... which means nothing to me. Thanks for the info on the psi. I didn’t think it rode bad at 50 psi.

As expensive as they are, I think they're the best tire hands down. I'll replace with a like set when my KO2 275/65/20's wear out.

Looks good.

Congrats, looks good. Have these on my jeep and love them.

Regular air is mostly nitrogen anyways, never pay extra for this.

KO2s are solid. Proven. I do think 50psi for DD is kinda high but if you're good with it then so be it. Nice two-tone choice

The load inflation table will help you set up your new tires to meet the requirements of your old, especially helpful if your going from P series to LT. it's a great read for tire nerds and something I picked up on this forum from others that was really helpful.

I have KO 2's and am very happy with them too.
