Im putting 285/75r17 on my stock 2020 JL unlimited. They are big! I already have them. Just need to be installed. When the install guys say they may not fit, i am going to show them your video 😂😂😂. Thanks so mich for posting.
You are right, there is no video to compare stock tire with the BFG KO2's (285/75R17), big thanks to you! although I wish if you compare the weight of these two tires, it would be ideal comparison. Perhaps if you can mention what gears you are running, and how does it drives...etc. Thanks again!
Thank you family for having the exact tire I was looking for. A lot of folks posting they have the 75R17s but in fact they were 16s. Looking for my power wagon but even still this video was very helpful
I just picked up 285/70/18 for my JLU Sahara. I’m going to do a video as well since I can’t find anything out there with this size combination and look. They are the Nitto’s and come in around 33.96 or say 34 inch tire as well. Should make a nice difference over the stock. Watched your video since it about the same size, around a 34 inch size. Great video
Thank you this helps even I did many researchers for my new super duty f250 I will use the new tires from2020 for my 2008 f250 and get miller 285 70 17 I recommend Miller I did have on suv and are the stronger last long tired I ever try and see in my life
Dude thanks for the comp. Just got my wife's '19 JLU and hate the stock Bridgestones. Wanted to go with 285/70R17 BFG's but wasn't sure if it would work on an unlifted JLU sport S. Now I know it will! Great pics too. Your Jeep looks nice and dirty as it should always look! ; )
Nice vid. I wasn't sure on width, went with 275/70/17. Only 10mm narrower, but wish I went wider. I also have the Mopar 2" lift installed with 1.75" wheel spacers. Looks and rides awesome, but do wish I went 285. That would have been just that much better. For all asking, they are really quiet yet still very aggressive. They even earned the snowflake symbol, so although not winter tires, will perform better in snow. I'm in New England, so it'll be here soon enough! My first winter with the Jeep. Can't wait. Had an Subaru WRX with snows for the past 7yrs. Absolute beast of a car, just no clearance. Wanted a Jeep literally forever ;)
I ran 285 Goodyear Duratracs on my 2010 JKUR. They held up really well and were quiet. They balanced out well and rode great. I got about 50,000 mikes out of them. Went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers after that. They wear good, did great on the slickrock in Moab, werent very noisy but never was able to get them balanced all that great. I’m thinking of sticking them on the new Jeep just to see if it was wheel/tire combo or the 2010 that had a problem...
I have 245 goodyear duratracs on my f150 and they are really loud. Im getting rid of those as soon as possible and getting the tires in the vid because I've had good experiences with them.
yes im baby wes Thats weird..... Mine didnt get noisy at all until they were worn out practically. Plus I know several people running them that say they are quiet as well. The new Jeep has the BFG’s from the factory. So far I like them. They did OK on the trails in Colorado and Moab. The good thing is, when I change tires and wheels on the Jeep the BFG’s will fit on my Silverado..
My truck stock has no sound deadening in it so that could be a reason why it seems to be loud. Its good that you like them its just i found for my truck they suck. In the rain i have poor traction. in the dry they are fine though.
Thanks for the video -- I have a JKU but close enough. Been tortured on which tire size to choose now that original set are done -- this helped a TON!!
I have questions. Did u have any issues turning? Any wobble? Did the tire fit in the spare without any alterations?

Can u tell us the exact name brand and type…. Something I can look up.
I just went from a Good Year TA 255/70/17 to a Cooper TA 285/70/17 for my 05 F 150. I didn't want to spend a ton on a lift kit or wheel spacers, if I would have gone with a 305/70/17. I wanted some thing more aggressive without breaking the bank.
Good idea for a tire comparison video. You could have rolled the smaller tire in front of the other as well. Did you see the video on the Rancho RS suspension lift on the JL? I believe it was done by WayofLife youtuber? That should be suitable and reasonably affordable for you. It's not a good idea to go with just a spacer lift if you plan on serious off-roading. Good looking Jeep! Thanks for sharing!
Update: just bought a set of 285/75/17 and absolutely love them. They have a very "athletic" stance compared to a 35. Running them without a lift and only have some slight rubbing at full turn(with no wheel spacers). Best and largest tire you can run comfortably on a jk no lift. Thanks for the video- it won me over.
@@youtubetv1588 TBH I enjoy a bit of a stiffer ride, but I haven’t ever noticed any negative effects on ride quality. They are great on highway and pretty quiet too
thanks for a great video - would love your opinion on how the ride is with the KO2, especially from a standstill/throttle response. Want to do this to mine when it gets here but don't want to lose the better throttle response of the newer JL over my old JK!
Thank you for a great video! I have a stock JL and itching to size up my tires setup without shelling out cash on a lift kit and rims. Do these tired run well on road and light off-road?
Skinny tires should be better for rock crawling and wider tires would be better for (deep) mud. Wider tires will corner better - If you can actually push it through a corner without tipping over. Low speed cornering should be very good.
Thanks for this great video, and the LEDs look great , was it difficult to connect them to the auxiliary dashboard switch ? I have no idea how to wire them.
Do you have to have spacers for these 285 75r17s in the video if using stock (rubi) rims (2016 JK series rubi rims)??? Or can the 285 75s fo on stock rims without spacer?
did you happen to compare other brand tires in the same size? BFG tends to run small. i wonder if others with different brand yet same size would rub. i have a jk on 37s but my friend is looking to lift her jeep on a budget and this looks perfect
Your video is very helpful! I have a JL sport unlimited, and I would like to know if before putting the 285 tires, did you have to make any modification to the jeep. Make it higher? I just want to be sure that before putting them, I am not going to have any conflict of space and impingement when turning etc. Thanks in advance for replying!
Hi, no modification or lift needed. It'll fit on a stock jeep. A lift just looks nicer is all. But i ran 285/75 on stock height for a couple months without issues.
@@BillyOnroad thank you very much for your reply Billy! Just for me to be completely sure before I buy the tires, regarding the wheels, did you have to make any consideration before putting the 285 75 17? My wheels are 17x7.5 (I guess yours are the same). I just ask because in my country jeep standards might be different. Thanks again in advance!
@@Luisgerardonaterac standard wheel will work. I had the same 17inch 7.5 width wheel. No modifications needed to run 285/75r17. Keep in mind i have bfg ko2s. Then run slightly smaller than other brands.. i think nittos run larger.. so there could be slight rubbing at full turn with other tire manufacturers
@@BillyOnroad thank you. I will buy BF Goodrich All terrain 285/70/17, with stock 17x7.5 wheels, so I guess I won’t have any problem or rubbing, as you mentioned you didn’t have. And regarding the tire carrier, is there anything I should consider? Does the stock tire carrier hold the 33 inches wheel without any issue?
I have a 2017 JK Rubicon Recon run factory 255 75 17s. I'm thinking about getting 285 75 17 KO2 tires. I'm sure I'll need spacers so they won't rub. Do you think I'll need a 2.5 lift kit. I saw Rough Country sells them for a great price.
Not sure if anyone else has commented this yet since I have not suffered the comments but, those tires when compared side by side the way you're comparing them will always show the tire on the rim to be taller than the tire off the rim, this is common sense. The tires are the same height when on the rim, they're just different width, hence the 285 vs 245 is your width, the 75 is your height, this means since they both have 75 height, when on the rim they are the same height. Now you know, and those kO2s are awesome tires btw.
The ko2s are definitely taller man, when i installed them they filled up the wheel well and I didnt have much clearance compared to stock. You're right the 75 is your height. But the 75 is a percentage of the overall width(285 vs 245) So 75% of 245 is smaller then 75 % of 285. Trust me man.. the 285s are taller. If you put these numbers into a tire comparison calculator you can see the height differences as well.
Nick M no rub, been flexed and full lock, clears no problem. Some JL sport owners have even run 35s with no rubbing during normal driving conditions, however 35s will rub when flexing off road with stock setup.
Technically you're correct.. measured out with load on the tires they do measure out to 33.75ish.. but the 285/75r17 are considered a 34" tire. However 285/70r17 is considered a 33". And yes 315/70r17 are considered 35s. The rubicons come stock with 33s. 285/70. These are slightly taller.
@@BillyOnroad Thanks for this. I am mainly confused about the aspect ratio number but your explanation throws some light on it. I guess then a 65 aspect ratio would make them even smaller diameter wise.
285 is simply the width. The 70 is the aspect ratio. It takes into account the width of the tire (285) and the size of the wheel. So a 285/70r17 and 285/75r16 are both 32.8 inches tall. 285/75r17 on the other hand is an inch taller. Sorry this is an old post. Seems like this gets mixed up, hopefully this makes it clear for the next viewer.
