Anyone running BFG KO2s on the stock Laramie 20"s?

[In2h2o]

Just put some KO2s on my Laramie!

Can you send me your tire size and some pictures? I think I’m setting up my truck like yours.

I put a set of 285/75R16 on my 97 Ram and I thought they were great on road, highway and off-road. no vibrations, no noise, and my fuel mileage was not hateful relative to the tires that came on the truck and that was 2 sets and 120,00 miles with lots of life left on that 2nd set. They are not a mud tire by any stretch of the imagination but great otherwise. I'm in process of ordering a 5th gen Ram and will drive from the dealer to the shop to swap out whatever tire comes on the truck for a BFG KO2. I'm still trying to figure out the size but I think the 34x12.5x18 is where I'm at right now.

Looks like you were able to put 34.5" tires on your ORG. Do you have a level also? Any rub?

Not what the OP is asking, but for the sake of others who will look through this thread in the future, I’ll post pictures of my Limited, non ORG, with the stock 20s. I’ve got 305/55/20 K02s on it and it rubs at full lock in Aero at parking lot speeds, otherwise I have never had it rub in Aero at speed.

Entry and Exit has about 60% of the turning radius before it rubs.

Should be pointed out - the rubbing is very minimal. More scrubbing than it is a full blown rub in Aero. Entry Exit at full lock is definitely rubbing bad.

Aero could be fixed by removing the small plastic pieces at the front and rear of the fender liners. I will eventually get around to it, but i have yet to rub while driving in Aero at speed on the highway.

Seems like any tire wider than about 11.5" starts to rub. Those tires you have are listed at 12.4" if people are interested.

So I just ordered 285/65 20's for my Laramie with ORG. I hope this fits with no issues.

I run the KO2’s in a 35x12.50r20. I have a 2” spacer level in the front and Firestone coil replacement air bags in the bag. I think they fit great and I’m impressed so far with the road manners. I’ve got about 11k miles on them so far. My only complaint with the tires is the wet performance isn’t great and with 3.92 gears the truck makes traction control work overtime when it rains. They’re relatively comfortable for a load range E tire with PSI between 30-35.

I hope to have mine installed today they are 285/65 I do have the ORG.

Are you still on stock suspension? Any rubbing or mpg difference? 3.92 gears?

yup stock suspension( I have the OFG, so 1 inch lift), I had minor rub on my mud flaps but once I screwed them back properly no rub. Yup 3.92 gears. MPG sucks I'm getting about 11 in the city 18 on the HWY.

How does everyone like the KO2's in snow and water? I am looking at a handful of AT tires for my next wheel setup (Toyo AT3, Falkens, etc.) and KO2's are high on my list. I like the Toyo AT3's alot but they dont have an aggressive enough side wall. Also previously had the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the traction on wet roads was not great.

I highly recommend you check out the Goodyear wrangler ultra terrain. I ran a set of the Wildpeak A/T3 through a few winters and they were great. But these ultraterrains are just as good if not better in the wet and snow. They have a nice aggressive side wall look too and have a 16/32 tread depth on their SL rated tire which is great also. And they have the severe snow rating.

sorry I know this thread is about the KO2 but I had to mention these cause I’m so impressed with them.

Very nice trucks.

They are really good in the snow rarely have to emgage 4wd. Had them on my jeep too . everyone compliments me on them . That’s kinda weird for tires lol
