2014 FX4 EcoScrew
I don't want to throw a wrench in your plans, but I tried the 275/65-R20 KO2's on my stock suspension truck and while they fit and did not rub - I *PERSONALLY* thought they looked funny. They're pretty tall for how wide they are, the ratio looked off. The other issue is the 65 series is a E load (10-ply) where the 60 is a D load (8-ply) so it's not as stiff/rough riding.
I ended up returning the 275/65-R20's and getting the 275/60-R20's and I instantly liked the look better. IF I wanted bigger, I'd do a level and the 285/65-R20's. I also found that the 65 series lifted the truck enough that it BARELY fit in my garages at work and home where the 60 series gave me enough room that I feel a bit more comfortable. Now I can do a mild level when the 5100's come out for the 2014+'s and still fit in garages.

I went with the KO2's. While the Nitto's are very good the extra sidewall protection and traction provided by the KO2's set it far above the Grappler.

Tire size question on these tires
My truck is the platinum, so it has the 275/55R20 stock. I'd like to fill up the wheel well a bit and have a better look and these tires are beautifil How would you do it? Get new rims? Use stock an go up to285/55R20? This option is over 100$/tire it seems. Would the modest bump up in size look noticeably better on the stock rims? Would it be a big change in terms of noise, mileage loss, etc? I drive primarily on street and only go off road about 15-20/year to drop off dirtbikes - so it is not really necessary to have a crazy off road tire. Thanks

Ko2's no doubt !
I think I've narrowed it down to what I want. City driving about 95% of the time and going with 275/65/20 but I want to hear from the owners of both.
The BFG are about $145 more expensive for all 4 tires.
What's you're personal opinion them?
Would you switch to the other if you could start over?
How's the ride comfort and noise level?
Not interested in any others. thanks.

Both are great tires and have their pro's and cons. I went with the G2 because they had XL sizes which were more like a P rated tire and lighter. I didnt want to take a huge hit in the weight department, or ride quality.
I think they both look really good and either one is a good choice, I just didnt need an LT tire and I like to keep my unsprung weight to a minimum.
