OK got my one tire from the UPS guy today. 4 wheel parts had the best price. So I need to get it mounted on a rim but it looks promising. The new tire looks good too. I hope it works well, both fit and in use. the 10.5 tire will look much better than the 12.5 TSL. May even fit inside the luber fender. May need a different offset wheel. We will see.

Hey Bax,

As Ben stated, I have a set of the Dick cepek extreme country and like them.

However, i just bought a set of 35x12.5 BFG KM2's from 4wheelparts.com

they must be trying to get rid of there stock of KM2s because i got a great deal on them and they have 33x105 in stock as well.

Bax, I just got the KM3 in the 33x10.5. Mounted them on some 15x7 Wheel Vintiques. They look like the should tuck nicely.

Phyler, those look really nice. I got the one mounted up on the rim but have not got it on the truck. Looks like your wheel has a bit more backspacing than mine. I will see in the morning. 7'' wide wheel

Yeah, should have stated that my wheel is a 4" back space.

Thanks!

Hey Bax, I just put the KM3 on my bronco and so far so good. I switched from the KO2 due to them picking up too many rocks. They are slightly noisier than the KO when the windows are down, windows up I can't tell a difference. I'm leaving out Wednesday for Silver Lake and will def give some feedback on them after a 12 hour drive.

Lane, thanks for the call. Just my luck I had already pulled the trigger on the 3's

Ok here are some pictures of the 3's mounted on the wheels I want to use. Drivers side are the TSL 12.5's. Passenger side are the 3's. I think the size is going to work great. It's going to be close on the rear flex, but we will see.

my experience with aggressive tread design is they all get noisy once they get lot of wear on them. so if they are noisy to begin with new, they will only get louder. just an fyi on my experience. i have never had trouble with goodrich, used to run generals years ago.

look way cool Bax! Franko wheels?

Oh Yeah, Franko Wheels. He shows up at my shop with 5 boxes of wheels and says, here you go. Already cleaned up and walnut blasted. What can I say, he's Franko. Really has been a great friend to me.

I ordered 4 33x12.50x15 km3 all shipped the same day from LA. 1 arrived Thursday, 1 Friday and the other 2 went missing, should be here next week tho. 4 wheel parts was 878.00 for all 4.. They beat Schwab by over 500.00 and another by 350.00. Great deal

Yes he is. Did you find me a job yet? Slacker.

My feelers are out.

Trying to see what we have at the Launch Complex. I know that is much closer to home.

I really do have an idea or two Buddy.

So I got my last 2 tires today, .. take them to Schwab with my old wheels and tires to get dismounted, mounted and balanced and they wanted 220.00 lol... They just keep giving me reasons to not do business with them anymore.. Ended up taking them to TirePros for 25.00 a wheel.

Great Wheels ! ... Nothing like a old school wheel on a vintage vehicle !
