BFG KO2'S

has anyone tried, or even seen BF Goodrich All Terrains on an X166 with appearance package 20's.

It's time for tires on the family ride.

Thanks, I had seen this picture during a Google Search.

My Wife's vehicle is a GLS450.

Its has the appearance package (20's and boards) but not the AMG or Sport appearance Package which is only available (as standard equipment)on the GL/GLS550 and 63 in the US.

Ours doesn't have fender flares.

That is the size tire I was planning on running so it does give some validation.

I'll post pictures of ours next week

Screw in the tire of the family ride pushed me over the edge.

where did you get the tires at? I found a good deal on Falkens and I’m pulling the trigger soon. These look great too! Have you noticed any difference in performance? These tires are pretty heavy.

Im about to do the same on my 2018 GLS450. A few questions, is there any sidewall rubbing at all? Have you noticed your speedometer off by a few MPH? Has your ride height been affectes at all (do you sit higher now or did airmatic compensate?) Have you had any issues with traction control, ABS or 4matic? Have you talked to Mercedes about potentially voiding your warranty due to sizing up? Are you noticing a lot more tire noise on dry roads? I know it's a lot of questions... Any help with any of the questions would be awesome!!! I do a lot of snow driving and off-roading and need to get off my stock Pirellis ASAP !

The drive difference is awesome….one question though…the tire shop filled the tire to the door panel sticker….front shoes 40 and rear shows 49 after driving for 30 minutes…

what is the settings most use on this forum with 275/55/20 BFgoodrich ko2s? Would 38 psi cold in all four tires works?
