Default 37" BFG KO2 Installed

I just made the bump up to 37's from 35's. I wanted a small 37" lighter weight all terrain tire so I went with the BFG KO2. I thought I'd post some pics for reference since there isn't a lot out there yet for the 37's. I was running a 2.5" lift with small 35's (BFG KO) and just recently installed an AEV 4.5" so I wanted something that would fill the fenders a little more without losing a lot of power. The KO2's are exactly what I was looking for size wise, but would probably be disappointing if you wanted a true 37. They run small like most BFG's
About 68 lbs

Looks sharp, how's the ride? Decently quiet? Little disappointing they run that much smaller.

I'm running them at 30 psi and the ride quality is pretty nice. I really didn't notice much difference from my 35's. Road noise isn't noticeable at all...they are just as quiet as any other all terrain I've ran.

What tires did you have previously? I have 35 Toyo MTs and am thinking about getting 37 KO2s, but wanted to see if there is a noticeable difference in handling and such because of the Toyos weighing 15+ pounds more.

Thanks for the pictures though, any website I've seen shows that the KO2s measure out to ~36.4 but I was waiting to see some actual measurements.

Pictures and comments above show his previous tires were 35" BFG KOs
