Small Tire Size Change = Big Difference

Never really liked the "square" look of my 285/65 tires (bought 'em used and cheap), so yesterday I switched over to BFG KO2 275/70s. What a huge difference in appearance and ride quality.

 

Lookin' good. I'm tempted to do similar: 33x12.5x18 to 295/70/18. I haven't found enough change in the couch cushions to justify it yet.

 

Still running stockers. These Michelin tires are good for mileage, comfort, and road noise but aren't ideal for road hazards.
I'll likely run BFG AT KO at the stock size, but am open to others.

 

The 70mm sidewall height just barely fits with removal of the front mud flap, FYI...and I do mean "barely"....

 

Yea.. I hear ya. The purpose of larger tires is ground clearance, of which we have the MOST in class at almost a foot.
My Jeep on 35s didn’t even have that.
Guess I’m not in a rush/see a need for additional clearance at this point in time.

4.30 gives us flexibility, but I’m going up highway grades more often than off road.

Off-road now is snow and dirt roads, to lazy to put on snow chains kinda thing. It does look nice though.

I guess I’m just an old fart. Lol

 

The second picture looks squished to me

 

It’s the Oompah Looompah edition. I think they are even numbered. Only in cement. When Steve puts the key in the ignition and opens the door it plays...





I gotta golden ticket..

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

 

LMAO...well-played, sir.

 

Hard to compare the before and after photos
