SupporterLooks great!
I'm fairly certain the R16 is a typo
So, are they 285/60R18 or 265/60R18?
Wizard
SupporterDrizzle, fixed the typo thanks.
Tyres are 285. That's not a typo. I had 285 D697's previously.
We do lots of soft sand in WA and 285's are great, not that I had much problem with the original 255/55R19 tyres before upgrading to GOE wheels.

SupporterNice! We do a lot of sand driving too. Fraser Island again for us next week.
Any issues with the tyres rubbing? Does the spare fit in the spare wheel compartment?
Wizard
SupporterThey just touch in the couple of spots mentioned on the GOE web site for that size of tyre. Chassis extension on RH front, only in reverse with new tyres, and the seam behind the plastic liner on the RH rear. The liner has a hole worn through it on the RH rear but it barely touches the metal and doesn't mark the tyre at all. I should just bend the seam out of the way but I haven't bothered.
My two spares are on the Kaymar rear bar. No way that they would fit under the car fully inflated and they are a pretty tough tyre to try to reduce in diameter I would think, being 8 ply rating.

Be interested to hear how these go for you.
I'm still happy with the Mickey T's I have on mine, but will probably look at something a bit heavier duty when these eventually need replacing. The KO2's look the goods in your pics.

SupporterThink I'll end up with these next month. Always wanted to own BFGs. Although if the 697s are significantly cheaper, it's going to be a tough decision. I see you put the white writing inside. Looks better suited for the colour. Nice!
Were you tempted to go the 265 75's???
Wizard
SupporterOops i mean 275 65 r18s
Wizard
SupporterNo, I haven't ever considered that size. They are very slightly bigger in diameter so they would rub much more than mine. I also want the biggest width. Basically no significant change in sidewall size for a narrower tyre with the 275/65 size.
