Tires look good -- but why did you get rid of the Nitto's since they still seem to have good tread on them?

That's a good question. The Nittos actually only had 12k miles on them. My dad has been eyeballing them, and I've had my eye on the BFGs, so we made a nice little arrangement. He bought the Nittos from me for less than what they would have cost him new, and I bought the BFGs. It cost me a little bit because of the difference in price, but we both got what we wanted.

BFG KO2s are on! Absolutely love the look and feel of these tires. Can't believe they fit so perfectly. No rubbing of any kind, and they ride much smoother than my old Nittos. Very happy with the decision. They are 315/70R17.


They look great...what psi are you running them at? I ran my D rated TA/KO's at 42 to 44 psi cold and they did great at that pressure.

Thanks! I have them at 42. Factory tire pressure in the raptors is 44, even with the new E rated BFGs, and I have the the same setup. I went with 42 to allow for pressure fluctuation during temperature changes. That way they'll always be somewhere between 40 and 44, ideally.

They certainly look great and I think you'll have them on for awhile...the ones I had I got tired of looking at them....the new versions look a lot better!
