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

How are the KO2s as far as vibration and street ride smoothness (is that a real word?)?
 
They ride great. The truck tracks perfectly. They are a bit noisier than the stock tires but zero vibration.
 
I’m curious, did you see a noticeable drop in mpg? Not that it truly matters in a full size truck but I’m hoping to not see a huge drop from the stock (I have the off road package and not super impressed with the AT’s)

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.

Lobo. So you mention 275 65 20 will fit. Is that a stock limited 4x2 or 4x4 (does that matter) with air suspension and no ORG?
 
Here is a shot of the KO2's I added to my stock 20" Limited wheels. Not sure how they compare to the Laramie wheel. Love the tires. I have had them on my last few Rams.View attachment 3403

You're tire/rim set up is what I am contemplating. Are they smooth? Noise level compared to stocks? Do they stick out much? I do not want to do fender flares or a lift. Finally, do you know what their load rating is? Are they good for towing a trailer, approx. 8000 lbs. 850 tongue weight.
 
Just put some KO2s on my Laramie!

With a 2.5 leveling kit will 285/65 R20 tires fit the stock big horn wheels?

Question is your truck sitting perfectly level with the 2 inch level? I read that with the 2 inch level it still off by a half inch?
 
These were found on the interweb...shows more aggressive blackwall tires on OE Laramie 20s. I will be doing the same thing when I add my leveling kit soon.
You happen to know what size they are? That's the exact look I'm after
 
I'm looking for a pic of the stock 20" Laramie wheel on stock-size KO2s. I like the way they look with the white outline lettered Bridgestones, but I'm concerned the blackwall KO2s won't look as good.

275/60/20 KO2’s on stock Laramie longhorn with stock air suspension. No rubbing at any suspension level and quieter than the tires it came with from the factory.

With or without ORG? Curious as to which stock tires you’re comparing.
