Thread: Any better price quoted for BFG KO2 265/60R18?

At St George tyres (down the street from Tempe tyres) I paid $350/corner fitted and balance earlier this year.

However, don't buy them if you live in or around a city - the tyre noise at speeds between 40-70km hr is annoying and of course that's the vast majority of driving in sydney.

Above or below that speed I don't notice them, so no issues for country folk but despite them being a great tyre (functionally) I won't be buying them again.

Thanks all all as I just had my BFG fitted, just see how it go. It is a bit pricey than others, Tyre shop and Gordon all recommended NITTO GT2, only around $240, worth to think about it. Any suggestions on Centre wheel cap since LR cap doesn't fitted.

cheers,

Another thread had this link. I bought a set. they look good and come with 4 dust caps for the valves as well. Can't comment on fit as I am waiting for the latest delivery of GOE rims to arrive.

I have the KO2s in 265/60R18. No problems with balance at fitment or since. Plus I know 5 other D3/4 owners with KO2s in this size, 265/65 or 285/60 and none of them have had issues either.

I don't find the noise between 50-60kph to be obtrusive or even audible if the stereo is on but that's a personal preference, noise bothers some people more than others.

Their performance on all types of off-road terrain and surfaces has been absolutely excellent, although I haven't tried (and don't plan to) deep mud. Recent driving on stony outback roads and sharp-rocked station tracks has seen no punctures or significant damage, beyond a few small cuts and nicks.

The pricing that's been mentioned in this thread is better than when I purchased and I think pretty good for what's expected of them. I don't pay much attention to feedback on a specific tyre in a different rim size and/or rating.

LR original wheel cap doesn't fit on GOE Rims, it's a bit smaller pulse siver in color. Will check the size on the link.

From memory (albeit vague) there was a picture on the thread showing them on GOE rims - I think

The Compomotive wheel seems to have changed centre hole slightly. My original centre caps do fit as do the eBay ones but for quite a few more recent wheels the owners find the centre caps do not lock in.
