Got my Off Road wheel/tire set - WooHoo!!!

[Ipedog]

A buddy of mine just delivered my 315/75R16 BFG AT KOs on a set of EO take-offs. I'm psyched! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

way to go man http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif looking good http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[kennyosemite]

Curious: will the warranty be in jeopardy due to their size? Gotta admit, BFGs are the real deal. I've had 'em on a Toyota 4x4 PU and Jeep Cherokee, although never that big before. Dang, Ipedog. That rubber rocks.

[NEOCON1]

if i have problems will thro the 33's back on to take to dealer . but they have all seen my truck and i have drivin the course since getting my 35's they said i may go thru brakes a little faster than stock . http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif but they are worth it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif the 20% worse milage is the only bad side but what the hell its worth it . i dont think 15-20 extra pounds at each wheel will hurt anything they are designed to tow 4500

You better hurry Rob, someone is stealing your new tires and rims http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Is the speedometer affected by the extra height?

[Sewie]

not height, but revolutions.

sweet tires! can't wait to wear out my 33's so I can go big. my bfg mt's are getting really loud, it wont be long now http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[NEOCON1]

Is the speedometer affected


Timgco has been running 35's longer than any one i know of , i think from his GPS the speedo is off 2 MPH at 65 . so 70 mph = 72 mph not to bad . some of the real geeks here may know what 1 mile on the odometer would work out to maybe 1.0307692... just a calculated guess http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I bought these wheels/tires for wheeling only with the plans to swop them out when not going off road (Opportunities not frequent enough here in MA http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif). Will it work out that way??? I don't know. They look SO DAMN COOL! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I can't wait to get these big dogs off road. Paragon AP's Hummer Hill will be mine!

Very Cool Bebe! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I can't wait to see the pics!

Neo and the rest have been right. I really don't want to swap out sets and throw the OE wheels back on. They look that perfect and they ride great. I truly love them! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I am considering a torsion bar adjustment but haven't done one to date. I've got to use that FIND button and search out how people feel about the ride quality. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I have lost a bit on MPG but have only measured through one tank, and it was cold last week so the remote start was used alot (not good for avg. mpg).

Tank before the 315's got me 16.03 mpg. First tank after neted me 14.23. We'll see what comes next. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I can't wait to see pics and hear how they do in Moab! I'll be in Paragon to test mine out at about the end of Moab. Very, very cool! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[HummBebe]

You have the AT's right? I'm getting the MT's. Do you think there will be a difference in the fit???

[Ipedog]

Yep. The BFG AT KO, not the MT. Its possible that the size may be a bit different. I was never really worried as Neo's Toyos seem to fit and my KO's have got to be smaller than that, if only by a wee bit.

I'm not sure why I went with the KO's over the MT's. I think it boiled down to $$$ and availability. The other factor was probably the great success that other H3's (HI and Newbie in particular) had had with the KO's.

I can't wait to see them on and hear your impressions. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Sewie]

Originally posted by HummBebe:

From BFG's site.

AT KO = 34.6" high, 12.2" wide

MT = 34.8", 12.3"

These numbers were on wider rims but the MT's are still a tad bigger.

[HummBebe]

Awww....thanks Sewie. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I guess we'll see how they do. Anyone up for a quick trip to Prairie City to try them out in the Mud Pit????
