New tires

[dchemphill1]

Well I finally need to replace the ko2 285 70 17 with a new tire. Ended up with ko3 315 70 17. They don’t look too much different upper pic is the old.

Love the new tires. Visually much more appealing. More aggressive tread.

They look great, love the two door. How much did the handling change? When I switched my 2016JK over to that size and similar tread it wandered a bit more.

I’ve been running the K03’s for while now & love them…great on beach & pretty damn quiet on highway…

They wander a bit but still trying to fail in the psi. Think I need to get down around 30. Other than that feel very similar to the ko2

I never really found a perfect sweet spot for the tire pressure, but it did improve a bit more with a new, heavier, steering stabilizer.

Any issues with installing the 315’s on the stock 7.5” OEM wheel? Any rubbing?

I had some rubbing when fully stuffed but daily driving it was fine.

I pretty much wore them out too running Uwharrie and all over the SE and never wanted for more really. The only reason I did the lift here was one sketchy rock on a ledge here in CO that a lift would have given more travel to not be fully bumped out. Ran with the 315s on the lift until just recently and went 37s cause why not. Gonna get a chance to reall test them out this weekend finally too which is nice.

No issues with rim and I run 2” spacers.

I replaced the OEM Firestone Destination MT tires on my Willys with KO3‘s 285 70 17 and am very pleased with them. Quiet, good wet traction, looks etc. Had Bora 1.5” spacers for the MT’s but took them off for the KO’s. Not as much poke as I’d like so I’ve decided on Getting new Method 701’s or 703’s when I can sell the OEM wheels. Once I burn down the 285’s, will go to 315’s.
