I'm looking for Wolfs and tyres. What are the KO2's like for road noise?

A lot better than 265 18 all terrains that were on before and looked awful. |

Yep, same here. I've got some really aggressive mud terrains. Start to whine at 25mph

KO2'S are no noisier than general wind noise. Mine have nearly 70k on them now and are starting to whine more but still not bad. Very impressed with them! James

After 6 years and doing over 60k on BFG KO2s and not enjoying them on the greasy NE Scottish roads; I have replaced them with General Grabber AT3. The AT3 seem to have more sipes than the KO2 so hoping for better wet performance.

I've got Wolf rims and KO3s, they work well and are not too noisy.

I think those are KMs (muds), not KOs (all-terrains)?

You're right BW, you spotted my deliberate mistake, well done 👍 they are quiet for mud tyres though 😁

Agree, epic tyres. I have them on both my Def and Disco2.

I've currently got a set of 235/85 AT2's on my Ninety, which have been brilliant, but now ready for a change (they are 12 years old).
I'd like to fill the arches a little more, but was on the understanding back in the day that 235/85's were the biggest you could go on standard Wolf's. Is this no longer the case? |

255/85/16 is generally the biggest you can go within rim width tolerances

Thanks Grouse.
Just realised you can only get KM3's in that size, but not KO2's, which is a shame, as I was thinking of going for the latter! |
