Are you on a 2 inch lift or standard suspension?

Thank you

Still on standard suspension.
No issues as yet with rubbing arches etc.

and that's with both 285's and 255's?

Ever used off road at all?

Yep both tyres sizes.
Doesn't get loads of serious off road use to be honest, mainly muddy fields and lanes around us.

All MUDs 255/85/16

Not sure on offset.

Had to take the Stanley to a bit of trim on my dirt skirt things that stuck into the wheel well. Love the look but can't comment on off road yet as my truck has been ill for a while.

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Stornoway Grey

i too would like to see a KO2 in 255.85. It would be ideal for my need and as they dont do it i am looking for a 285.75 KO2 fitment in due course (to std boosts)

i am concerned about mud up the side as dont really want it but i do want a 33" tyre and KO pattern.

i have run 255.85s on both boost alloys and Wolf rims on my 110USW.

on the wolfs they caught the inner lip of the rear eyebrow on crossaxle.

ref the comparison in 255 MM2 vers 285KO2 i think the increase in traction on snow you saw was the silica rating and tread patttern of the KO2 over the KM2, if they have been 255 KOs it would of been better again. Cheers
