Bomber,

I am looking at these at the moment, either these or KO2's. interesting that they were noisy after 65k, how old were the tyres?

Cheers

Thanks. You'd think they were Jeep dealers, not tyre dealers - being so bloody useless! I think the Bridgestone D840 is the only match I will find - it hurts having a spare more expensive than the road tyres.

There's usually a good supply of secondhand Bridgestone D840s on gumtree or eBay.

I've gone 265/65/18 BFG KO 2 on my 2015 Overland and it will fit in the carrier well minus the bins.. Fuel consumption on-road around town is 9.6 l/100 stop/start lower speeds.

Almost three years old and by then they had done remote parts of Arnhem Land and the Gibb River Road.

Default Wheel offset

Just bought a wk limited 2014 and would like to know if it is possible to run wheels with a +20 offset on a 9 inch rim or will these protrude too far out past the guards.
Thx.
