Nope! Everything was super easy.
Finally pulled the trigger & swapped mine: 245/65/r17 Back Country AT. Kept the stock Badlands rims. I wanted the retro look so I kept the white letters out.

By far the best upgrade I will make. Extremely happy with the results.

Looks great! Is there any rubbing? Thinking about getting these and a 2" lift.

OP's last post was selling their Sport back in July. As for the KO2s I haven't experience any rubbing. I think most will be able to say the same. The KO2s do make the ride a lot stiffer though, so heads up there. They are a truck tire and it feels like it. Depending on the lift it may compound the stiffness of the ride. I'd suggest getting the lift first and driving around with stock tires for a bit. After that and you're happy with the lift then get the KO2s, maybe a place with a return option just in case. They look great and are great off roading tires. But if your sport is your everyday driver it might not be worth it.

KO2's are heavier than most of the other comparable size tires as well as being stiffer. I have them on my Toyota 4x4 pickup, I run 20psi in the rear tires when unloaded so it will ride decently. I run 245/65/17 Falken Rubitreks on my Badlands at 33psi with no issues.

Not really noisy. About as much as before the change. Gas mileage is about the same. Acceleration is still great.
