Thanks for the feedback!The Ko2 are great tyres, last a long time, quiet on the road, have a good rating on wet surface’s, and have the mountain snowflake symbol on the sidewall indicating excellent performance on snow.
There a much improved version of the original bfg all terrain.
Are you running this size already and are you on air suspension still? I think you might have rubbing issues.Looking to buy a set of BF Goodrich A/T KO2 for my P38; 265/70/16's.
Any of you guys got experience of them please?
Many thanks.
Mike.
Can I ask why? What is the issue with the 75s?I've got them on my Disco 2... 265/75R16's. Love 'em!
If I had to get another pair I'd get the smaller height 265/70's instead.
Went to pick 'em up and the guy sold them to someone else who gazzuped me. 96 mies round trip waste of time. The guy didn't even have the grace to tell me himself...got his girlfriend to tell me!!!Are you running this size already and are you on air suspension still? I think you might have rubbing issues.
Also what rims are you using?
As for the tyre. Depends entirely on your intended use. The tread is designed for North American with rocks and baked mud and sandy surfaces. Very different to UK terrain. Not saying they are bad tyres, but depends very much what you are expecting from them.

Why?
I don't like the look of the 75s on my Disco 2 with a 2" lift. Too much sidewall but that's just me.Can I ask why? What is the issue with the 75s?

Two of my tyres are devoid of tread on insides. A "friendly", off-duty policeman pointed this out to me yesterday. He said they were barely legal and that I should get them changed urgently. I am disabled and need my car as I have to do my own shopping, so was attracted to a brand new set of A/T KO2 for £240.Which bit of no non-essential travel did you not understand?
You do know there are mobile tyre fitters don't you? You could have done this search as I did and found someone in a few seconds.Two of my tyres are devoid of tread on insides.

Speedo reading wrong.Can I ask why? What is the issue with the 75s?
Yes. I have a reliable tyre fitter, but he's based about 20 miles in the opposite direction. If I hadn't spent so much time trying to get someone to pick up and transport them to me, they'd now be worn by my P38.You do know there are mobile tyre fitters don't you?

You'll have your tyres and stay legal.![]()
Sounds like you have a preferred person rather than being prepared, at this particular time, to go with someone you do not know.Yes.

I have two mobile guys. One's recently sold up shop and is working offshore. Tyres were £240 for a set of four brand new BFG A/T KO2's and HAD to be picked up this morning. Tried a few local transport companies too, but none could pick up with such short notice.Sounds like you have a preferred person rather than being prepared, at this particular time, to go with someone you do not know.
I know Hull isn't far away as we lived in Hull until I was 8 and my dad worked in Beverley all that time. There must be loads of tyre places in Hull. Ought to ask my bro, he still lives there!

Having paid about £135 for just one brand new BFG A/T recently, £240 for 4 is an insane price. It was for a 16" wheel on a Disco 2 standard for the vehicle. There is no doubt that tyres for Landies are a heck of an expense. Are you going to have to bite the bullet and just get a pair of new ones? Or is the spare any use? The way things are at the moment getting decent second-hand tyres is never going to be easy. And how much tread would they have on them?I have two mobile guys.

Two almost bald tyres are 255/55/19's and I exhausted ALL local used tyre places without success. Hence intention to revert to original 16" rims I got with the car.
