Tim that helps out a ton! I am always open eared for more information.

Much to my surprise, I still haven't heard anyone diss the snow performance of the KO2's. If only they were studable, if they were they might be the perfect tires. The KO2 is also one of the only 33x10.5r15's made now. So even I, the BFG hater, might run a set.

haha, yes well it might make two of us, the 'deal' for the generals might take too long (never), if so then I'll order the KO2's

Here is a comparison of these two and a few others. http://expeditionportal.com/where-the-r ... -the-road/

This test doesn't include the KO2, just the old KO

I wish I could still get the Big O Safari MSR 33/9.50r/15s that I put on my J10, then my Comanche and finally on the Honcho. (ran out of spares)

Well I got the ko2's yesterday and so far I am throughly impressed! They look awesome, ride much smoother than the cheap passenger car 235/75r15. Significantly better traction in the rain. They are very quiet (though my exhaust is mildly loud and I am running a Holley blue). It also has significantly better stability than the 235s.

In just the 150 miles I have on them, so far, I love them.

HEY! We need picture man.

I need to dig out the measurements before the lift and tires and before and after pictures and make an all encompassing post

Looking forward to it good buddy, I'm 10-10 on the side waiting for the report.

A link to the lift and tire picture thread.

What do the tires measure on the jeep? I know they are 33" but what are they REALLY?

I have not measured. I have read 32.5" which seems about right to me. I'll try to remember to measure.

Just got a free set of 34x9.50r16 swampers to run temporarily. Any bets on weather or not the 74 can rock them at stock height?

Still hear nothing but good things about the KO2's.

Did you get these on?

No, I was going to get a set of rims and ended up getting a better deal in a set of 31's. There on the stock height narrowtrack. Those tires will either get stored or put on a friends new truck. The 31's barely fit. So I would have had to use the 225/70/16 hankooks on the 74.

LT255/85R/16s are 33/10.5s and I had them on my MJ but the 33/9.5s were much better for the light truck.
