I like the look of the new KO2 and the write up so far is very positive. Like many others, the reason for a LT construction is the toughness of sidewall as I tow a lot and often bring the pressure down to 25-20 PSI is serious conditions with near GVM limits fully loaded.

The GG 255/55R19 have been a wonderful all round AT tyre, but they do tend to suffer from sidewall damage, mainly cuts and chunks missing is normal with many tracks with a slate base, but they stay intact.

I do agree each tyre and vehicles have their variables.

Graeme, OK on size, thanks.

Gerald

Gerald just got some feedback and he reckons the only issues are minor. Rubbing at entry height, a bit on RH turn in and normal height with no problems at full off-road height nor with LLAMS at +30

Hi Rob,


Thanks for following that up. The rubbing at right hand turn is that on the outside edge of the tyre at the mud flats and inside edge at the plastic bumper?


More than 90% of the time you are in normal height, I guess this is where the rubbing counts, and with situations like sticky mud, it matters where and how much!


OK in off-road height.


I must admit, if BFG do not get their act together it may have to be D697's, 265/60's. Others are also expressing their frustration.


My other option is to work with a guy who imports any QTY of tyres out of the US by the container load.


Regards

Have emailed to hassle them again. Now have 78 signatures all from here. Will let you know if I get any useful information.

Hi Andrew,

I enquires with BFG early March. I received a response stating 265/65R18 would be available June 2015, but still no more info.

Sent them another reminder this afternoon. Hopefully pressure from a number of directions helps.

Regards

Gerald

Curiously, the 265/60R18 size has disappeared from the Australian website after previously being listed and indicating a Quarter 3 release date.

The 265/65R18 size is still indicating a now overdue Quarter 2 release date.
