Pics of 225/65/17 KO2s?

[JackisDunn]

Has anyone put 225/65/17 BFG KO2s on their Broncos yet? Considering putting those on my OB along with new wheels. Don’t wanna do 245 because concerns about rubbing and the speedometer being off. Wanted to see some pics to see if they look to small

For KO2s, 245/65r17 is the smallest size you can get for a 17” rim.

Not true. Tire rack has 225/65/17s

Ah, sorry. Didn’t come across those smaller sizes when I was looking.

Just by looking at the treads I'd bet that is one noisy tire...

I went from a touring tire to all terrains in my jeep and it is I have not yet put them all my bronco yet

I went with LT245/70R17 KO’s with the 1.5” RC level kit. No rubbing at all and noticed a decrease of about 2mpg.

On my 2004 escape I had all seasons and changed to Yokohama Geolander AT's. With no loss of mpg's and no gain in noise that I can hear.
And they help my now FWD only escape climb gravel roads really well.
It was AWD but the rotary blade coupler failed and it can no longer be scorced new. Used can only be tested after a costly install...no thanks.

Looks great!
Any issues w/the lift kit?

No issues so far.

I was curious about the same thing... my Badlands came with the Scorpion tires and i have been happy with them so far but i really want a more agressive look and am thinking about changing to the KO2's or the Wildpeaks.. would love to see the KO2's in 225. Really nervous about putting 245's on mine, especially when off roading

I think I’m going to opt for 245s on my OB. Everyone I’ve talked to whose done the same has had no problems with rubbing.

I put KO2s on my 2016 F150 and I don't hear any tire noise. They seem to give a smoother ride compared to the original factory tires (Platinum w/FX4 option).

they will be fine until you go off road and you have to turn at full articulation. In that case they will 100% rub.

it’s not the height of the tire it’s the width

Gonna be honest. Never going to go off road so I think I’ll be fine ??
