I'm getting out the the GG Redletters I'm running and dropping maybe an inch in size to up the power a touch.

Currently I am running 265/75R16s which in real world measure 31.89". They max out the space taken up with a 2.5" lift and weld seam grind.

I'm re geared to 4.56.

So now I'm thinking about dropping to 265/65R16 or 30.7". That will be a full inch drop. Noise has been a massive factor in this decision.

BF Goodrich AT Ko and KO2 are both the same width as my current setup so Im I figure it should work out with the current zero offset on the Mickey T rims.

So any thoughts on the KOs @ 265/65R16. Anyone run them for a while, how is the noise and off road traction in mud, rock and sand?

Any plans for your current tyres or are they are end of life? I'm looking for some GG's, where did you source new? My General HTR on 18's have been good with 55k clocked up and a little more to go. Muddies on steelies I have at the moment are incorrect offset and not brilliant at all. I'm looking for new wheels with better offset and some GG like you have.

Does your current setup stick out at all?

Yep I am planning on selling them, but Im in WA. They have done about 20,000k only. I'm only looking to sell the tyres and keep my rims.

Yeah my current offset pushes the boundaries just a touch but Ive had no issues, hence why Im keeping the rims and still going the same width tyre. Mind you I dont drive like I need to be stopped.
