BFG TA KO2 35x12.5r17s - Just got em'
Hi all,
I know these just came out and everyone is looking for pics. Just got home from having these mounted in 35x12.5r17. Was previously running Trail Grapplers in the same size. On JKs I've run Nittos, Toyos, KM2s, Hankook and stock BFGs. Let me say that my initial impression of these KO2s is simply 'Wow'. These things are ridiculously quiet and smooth, especially considering they are E load. I just drove home an hour or so topless and doorless on back roads and on the highway at 80 and they are very, very quiet and smooth. Bumps at highway speed are barely noticeable. My Jeep has gone from driving 'like a Jeep' to driving more like my wife's Explorer.
My only disappointment is the mounted size. These things at 35psi on a 17x9 wheel with 4.5BS only measure 33.25".
Anyway, here are some pics. I'll update this when I get a bit more driving done on them. Any questions, let me know.

Im very happy to hear they are quite and smooth, I just ordered 315 75 16 for my jeep. BFG website says they measure 34.5 by 12.3 when mounted to a 8.5 wide rim. So hopefully I dont lose to much height.

Let us know how they do offroad and in the rocks. I'm thinking of getting these next. I'm trying to find a good middle tire. Good on road and good mild offroad.

WOW 33.25". I have them mounted on my JKUR and they measure right at 34" @ 30psi. I also have heavy bumpers etc. I might add that I have them mounted on stock Rubi wheels so maybe that has something to do with it. They do really well in heavy wet snow and ice (5"-6") and in mud they do pretty well for an AT. I had a little issue with them not cleaning out too well in heavy clay type mud but again they are not a MT. I think as long as you realize they are an AT and drive accordingly (in mud) you will like them. I'll get a chance to run them in rocks later this summer so I'll update then.

Ok I've had these for a while now and put about 1000 miles. All around best tire I've ever run despite the smaller size. Ultra smooth on road, great in the rain, pretty decent in mud and rocks. Love the look, look a lot like Toyo MTs in my opinion. I think these are officially the Duratrac killer.
