BFGoodrich KO3

[todds89]

Finally got around to installing some Rubicon rims on my Sahara - went with the KO3s. Some pics for you all since I know there’s not a lot of pics out there.

looking great!

I like the KO3's. And your Jeep looks remarkably familiar to me...hmm. Nice!
This is my 2019 Sahara with Rubicon wheels, KO2's, Rubicon springs and shocks. Great improvement to the Sahara. Traded it for a 2023 Rubicon this past spring. Dealer remarked that the Sahara drove like new., too. Bonus.

Did you have KO2s before, and if so, have you noticed any difference with the larger sipping and space between the tread?

Seems like it might be less prone to picking up the smaller stones you'd get after driving through a gravel driveway or parking lot (that only come loose and are thrown into the doors once you hit pavement at speed with the KO2). And perhaps improved handling through standing water, with more space for the water to escape.

Those 2 issues, plus maybe the need for an obscene amount of wheel weights are my only complaints with my KO2 tires.

What's BFG saying is new about it?

Looks good, can't beat the BF Goodrich tires!

Gives me an Idea for what to look for when my Falkens wear out!

They look great. Wasn't aware that they were released already.

They haven't officially launched it yet so not sure. But I'm guessing better wet weather based on the extra siping.

I didn't have KO2s before - I had the Dueler ATs which were fine. Just wanted something a little more aggressive. So far, these are just as quiet as the Duelers.

They are only available in a couple sizes right now which are OEM on a couple vehicles. Luckily, one of the sizes is what I needed (285/70/17)

Haha, yep... and I have Rubicon takeoff springs and shocks that will be going on soon!

You won't be disappointed in them! Gives you a little more suspension travel but doesn't make for an uncomfortable ride.

But I think the best upgrade for a Sahara is better tires. Mine wasn't bad off road on the factory Goodyears but she's just a beast with better tires!

Are those the 35" ? Any issues with rubbing and fitment on the stock rims ( I'm assuming 7.5 in wheels)?
