Not bad I think I paid a little more than that for my 2x4.

Also just got an email from BFG and was told their new KO2 T/A will be coming out in a 33x10.50r15 this coming October, I know I don't plan on new tires soon but i'm looking forward to it. Many say T/As aren't good but I do much more road (90%), dirt, hopefully more rocks than mud and I can't really justify spending upwards to $200 more on the KM2s (which they don't even list at that size on their website anymore) that will give me less miles and only work better in the mud. Plus, T/As to me are one of the best tires on a jeep.

Haha did you buy new KOs recently? The shop by my house in DE sells the KOs in 33x10.50 for 198 each with free installation and lifetime rotation so I'm hoping that the KO2s won't be much of a difference, discount tire is hit or miss on being cheaper/more expensive than the KO counterpart.

So today, I had originally wanted to take off my front skid plate... well it's not as easy as I was thinking with the wheels on so I'm going to wait until I'm at my buddy's shop putting on my new bumper when I get it. Instead I dipped the hood's center strip and took it to the back of the school's parking lot for a little flex.

Can kind of see the black dip on the hood strip.

I just bought my 33x10.5 KO's before winter! There still a great tire anyways haha. I paid $205 each for mine in Canada not bad I guess for things costing abit more here!

You could buy the KO2s and either hold on to them until you need them or sell the KOs with a god amount of tread and get a good portion of your money back.

I could to do that, I might even just do KM2's. Not sure yet but I do want to stay at the same tire size.

I have a funny suspicion that BF might be canceling KM2 33x10.50 because they don't list that size on their website anymore.

Went to Doe Valley today, aired down for the first time to 16psi and what a world of a difference it makes compared to wheeling at 33psi!.

Here's a video of me going up a fun climb called 50' of Fun.

Jeep looks good man. If you go up to 33's I think you will like the 10.5's. I'm on 35's and still think I like my old 10'5 better.

Thanks man, same to you. I'm looking forward to the 33x10.50, but first comes sliders than bumper and then who knows, might do rear lower quarter panel guards soon before I destroy them on a rock.
