First Upgrade - New Tires

The first of many desired upgrades for my TH,
225/65R17, All-Terrain T/A KO2. I eventually will get the daystar lift but so far I have not experienced any rubbing. I recently returned from Colorado and the tires were amazing for sightseeing.

 

That looks great! I was looking for a tire that would be aggressive without lifting and changing the rims.

 

Also, did you replace the spare as well and does it fit the compartment?

 

I did not replace the spare. A little over a month in and still no complaints. A little more noise, but that is to be expected.

 

You can put a full sized BFG TKO2s 225/65R17s in as a spare, it fits without having to pull anything out.

 

Right on! How much do those run? I might have to buy it online to get a better price. Also, is there enough clearance between the tire and the spring?

 

I paid $935 for 4 and got a $100 rebate. I already had 1 inch spacers when I got them

 

That's not bad. I'm thinking I'm gonna spend more money on this Jeep than when I had my Wrangler.

 

I paid about the same. $91 0 for four with a $50 rebate. I have not had any issue with rubbing or clearance.

 

Do you use spacers or stock?

 

It is stock, but the Trailhawk comes with a one inch lift.

 

Thanks. Would definitely get this one first.

 

Anyone running the BFG K02's on a Latitude 4x4 without a lift? I ordered a lift, but was told by my off-road shop that the Daystar lift is unavailable right now. I've ordered these tires already....

 

did you get your lift? I'd like to see the stock rims with these tires on the daystar lift

 

Not yet, but very soon.

 

Just do a google image search, there are several pics online of lifted TrailHawks with the stock wheels and the KO2s. Go for it, it looks really nice.

 

How's the gas mileage with the BFGs?

 

It dropped a couple miles per gallon

 

I average 22 mpg with the BFGs
