275/70/17 KO2s
Anyone running 275/70/17 BFG KO2s? Want to verify that tires do not rub and no 'puter calibration is needed??? They spec out close to the stock 255s. I need a decent AT tire to get me thru until Fiat builds my diesel JL.

I've been thinking about this same setup but it seems that 275/70/17 is an odd ball tire size and not many people run that size. One of these days I would like to use that exact tire size with a leveling kit or 2" spacer lift. Anyone have pictures of that tire size or setup?

So I went ahead and installed the 275 KO2s. No rubbing! They are taller than the 255 stockers, but not much, I didn't reprogram computer for new size. I'm keeping the stock spare tire to save weight ~19 lbs. They are E rated so the ride is slightly stiffer but the sidewalls have serious beef. I was amazed the stock SR-As survived the sharp desert rocks here in Nevada, but I knew I was living on borrowed time blasting down desert roads.
Jeep has a 1.5" Teraflex boost.
Discount Tire installed the tires - great guys and they actually torqued lugs to 95 lbs not 250 like most shops.
