We have fallen back to a very late summer here, with high temps in the mid 70's and sun all around. Your rig is looking ready for whatever AK can throw.

BFG still makes a tire in that size ? I wish I could get KO2s in this size.
Not that I am aware of unfortunately. I did learn one thing with these that I wish that I would have known before I set them up and that is the tread compound is actually too hard for winter use. These have over 10 winters on them and still look new tread wise. Without studs and running borderline too low pressure they would be worthless on ice.
 
Well, I got a test tire and steel wheel (unpainted). Wheel is 6 x 16 and the tire is a Deestone 7.5-16.

Thoughts?

Looks great!

This type of tread design has been around for decades.
Works well in mud and rocks, but absolutely worthless in packed snow.
But in Kali, probably nothing to worry about!
Thanks for sharing your find!
 
They look great to me, but how do they feel? What were you running before? Have you had a chance to air down yet?
 
Those tires are wicked cool. Though I agree with Alex01, they don't stick out far enough. You need a wheel with a positive offset. However, I really like those steelies; paint them, of course. Maybe a smallish (1.5") wheel spacer? Or some similar, old-school-looking, steelies with a positive offset? Or, forget all that, and get some kind of fender flare delete?
 
Well, this is a Rubicon so my plan is to install standard (thinner) fender flares so they will better match the tires.

I was actually concerned that the tires would stick out too far LOL. I wish I could do a super trim fender flare for a rear old school look.

Note: This was just one tire and a little photo chop! Trying to decide if I should get the other 4 to match :)

Possibly going with the BF Goodrich Mud terrain KM3 in the same size. The tread doesn't look as good but it would be a better tire to drive on.....
