Hi Kenny .

Great photos . I’m thinking same . I’ve used bf Goodrich for many years on Landrovers and Landcruiser Amazon . Great tyres . I’ve just driven to Nordkapp with winter tyres but felt like we needed more rubber . Everyone had studded winter tyres . Can you let us know how you get on when you fit them .
1 Noise / coasting
2 best pressure
3 fuel consumption
4 braking
5 Ride comfort ( I’m thinking th tyres will soften the Cali ride especially front )

Thanks

I’m fairly sure there was another post recently and/or possibly a video by users who fitted the same. They did report a noticeable hit in fuel consumption I believe.

have bought a set of BF Goodrich all terrain in 215/65-16 because I would like to return in the org size of the org steel rims and then sell the 17 "with bf again

Just fitted 225/65/17 Bf Goodrich K02 . Very pleased much softer ride at front especially on pot holes and speed humps . Noise increase minimal and getting 33 mpg around town at 50 psi . Hard to say but I think about 2/3 mpg drop from 235 Vectors . Not tested in mud / snow yet but don’t think l need to worry as have had several Landrovers and Landcruiser Amazon with them over last 20 years probably done over 100k Miles in different vehicles . Don’t remember ever wearing them out !

Been mentiont a lot , read some existing threads , sometimes a cleaning the rubber is sufficiant .

Just been on 4 hr road trip ( mixed driving including some traffic and 70 mph ) to see Roger at Solar Camper Solutions for Curley cable upgrade . Looks great good job .

Also this is first longish trip since fitting BfGoodrich K02 . Showed 36.2 mpg on dash . I know this is probably not accurate but comparing my other tyres I’m very happy with that and quite surprised . Now running at 45psi all round .

Fancy taking a couple of pics of the upgrade and sharing. May look to do this myself.
