KO2 T/A 39x13.5 R17 weight

[aro]

Americas Tire (Discount Tire on the West coast) lists the weight of those tires at 70 lbs in D range.

Can this be? 39" 13.5 KO2s at 70 lbs? I can't find the weight anywhere else.

Thank you for your question @aro.

BFG show 69.49 pounds on their web site. We get our specs from them but round up for weight.

Please let us know if we can help.

Duh... The weight is right on their site... Thank you!

I scanned the specs and I must have ignored the 69.49 because my brain didn't register that as a "proper" 39" weight. That's pretty crazy! Hmm... why stay with 37s in this case...

That makes for an interesting observation. It seems like the 37x12.50R17/D 124R RWL and the 39x13.50R17/D 121R RBL, that are both specified as Tire Weight = 69.49 pounds, are unlikely to be the same weight when measured in the work shop.

Maybe @Discount Tire can make a specific inquiry to find out if the specs listed are accurate.

Good luck.

Great call out @Yellow Cake Kid.

I reached out to BFG customer service and the CSR I spoke with confirmed the 69 lbs for both sizes. That being said, it's likely she was referencing the specs outlined on the website.

Once we have a 39x13.50R-17 KO2 available to us, we'll see if we can grab a weight.

FYI, they have the same weight for a 37x12.50.
I looked because I am looking at the 39x13.50-17 km3 and they weigh 87lbs.
My 37" km3 are listed at 77lbs

@Discount Tire , do you have an idea of when the 39x13.50r-17 ko2's will be available?

@Discount Tire , do you have an idea of when the 39x13.50r-17 ko2's will be available?

They are available now.
There were 9 available nation wide until I just ordered 5 of them a few hours ago from Discount Tire.

Also to note, their Website lists them as “OEM” which means these tires come stock on something. Me and the manager couldn’t think of what vehicles has 39s from the factory.

Currently stock is not available, however I reached out to BFG and the CSR said replacement inventory is in production with an ETA of 10 weeks or sooner.

This is awesome to hear and thank you for the support!

I didn't know this size had already launched. Would love to see some pictures after the set is installed. The store should be able to grab a weight for the tire which would be beneficial to this thread.

As for the O.E. designation, I think this may be an error on our end. I too can not think of a vehicle application that comes factory with this size. I'll touch base with our product team to see if they can provide clarity.

I’ll post pictures and try to get the actual weight while I’m there. It’s the Discount Tire store in Pace, FL.

I’m at Discount Tire right now getting the wheels/tires mounted.
Unfortunately they do not have a weight scale here so I’m not able to confirm their actual weight.
On another note, they do have a new embossed stamp on them that say “Moab Edition”. Maybe that can help solve the mystery of why they made the KO2 in a 39” size???

EDIT:
I just found this article online about the “Moab Edition”. This says they have a new compound that grips better on slick surfaces. Good to know…..


EDIT:
These 39x13.50 KO2s are noticeably less weight than the tires I just replaced them with, which was 39x13.50 KM3s which have been verified to weigh about 89lbs. So these KO2s probably are as they are listed at about 68lbs.

Thank you for the update @MARSHMELLA!

This is great information; very interesting on the "Moab Edition" We'll certainly see if we can find more details on this and whether or not this label will be extended to other sizes.

Let see some pics with these on the rig

 

[2020 Rubi Diesel]

I've been looking at 39 km3, but if I can save 18 pounds per tire with the ko2 i might just do that.

 

[alksion]

And I just settled on 37“ K02 C load. Dang these are sweet but I wanted to keep things light.

 

[gato]

We need pictures and measurements of these on the rig. Actual weight would be a plus also. Would be weird if they weighed the same as the 37x12.5 D rate.
