Default BFG TA/KO 275/70/18 on my stock 2012 Lariat

I spent months trying to figure out what I wanted to upgrade to when my stockers went bald. Will this fit....do I want raptor wheels, do I want fatter....etc....

Americantire.com had the BFG TA/KO 275/70/18 on sale for $208.

THey gave me $29 each for my old tires to apply towards the warranty and a few extra dollars off the new stems. I was happy with them.

Drive a million times better than the stocker Wrangler SA.

No more squishy wandering. NO rubbing. Steers easier. Very quiet, in fact I think quieter then the stock ones.

I know pictures are worth a million words.

Im sure there is a thread already on these.

When the stocks wear out on my '14 XLT, this is the exact tire I will be getting.

Thank you.

I have a 1.25" level kit on my Bilsteins. Didnt go higher as the camper shell brought down the rear rake.

This is the exact look I was searching for.

Had just installed a set on my cummins dually before I sold it. I have stockers on my '14 still and sure miss the BFG's. I really liked them for the month I ran them.

X2 for me. Just put the KO2s on my 2012 and it handles much better. Ride was a little stiffer but I like how much more solid and controlled it feels.

Yep, love my KO2's also on my stock wheels. Much more controlled ride and they are dead quiet. That's a great price OP. Looks good.

I put a 2" readylift kit on my 2011. She's going in tomorrow morning for new wheels and BFG KO2's 275/70/18 also! Will post a few pics as well. I'm excited as it will fill the wheel well about close to an inch higher and shouldn't be a huge loss in mileage. I couldn't justify going to a 285/65 for the extra cost per tire. I'd rather the height then the extra width in my situation.

Care to measure how tall they actually are on the truck?
