What are your suspension and wheel specs?

 

[CoolContractor]

Yes - switched over to them on day two of ownership. I didn't have that much time on the stock tires, but I'd say maybe quieter on the hwy. I think the heavier sidewall will be worthwhile insurance down the road. Thanks to @Discount Tire for locating 5 of these and getting them delivered to my local store.

How did you get these tires already? Where are you located, state?

woah. 67# for 285/75/17

Yeah, both Falken and BFG screwed this up big time. Took an already very robust and relatively reasonably weighing tire and added 10 lbs to it. This makes them unsuitable for those of us that spend 90% of their time on the road but want a fairly robust tire for the weekend and occasional multi day off-road trip. I guess my next tires will be neither BFG nor Falken, unless BFG continues making the KO2s.

 

[GroovyGeek]

These are great tires but what would push me away is how heavy they are. Just a lot more rotating weight to stress bearings etc. What are all of your thoughts on that?

Hate it. Have had KO2s on my Wrangler for 10 years and now on the Bronco. Will not be buying either KO3s or ATW4s on account of the weight. Not sure what the logic (or should I say groupthink) was at BFG and Fallen.

35 x 11.5 x 17".

Just talked with A Falken rep... The 35X11.50R 17 A/T4W is still on back order but there is an ETA of 45-60 days which tells me they are back in production!

Thank you for chiming in with your experience, we greatly appreciate it.

I just got these Tires ordered and they arrived today. 35x11.5 17 C load 68lbs

These are true 35 inch tires, not 34.4 or something like that

these are super hard to get.

I bought mine from Simpletire.com I think they might still have some

I will be doing a review soon

Very interested in what your thoughts are.

Very interested in what your thoughts are.

im having them installed on Tuesday..so maybe After a week of highway driving and out On a trail I will do a report .

Maybe someone can provide some insight on this. I'm considering going to a 35x11.5 on a stock sas, but the overall diameter doesn't jive with the revs per mile. Also noticed the tread depth is shallower on that particular tire.

I think the slightly narrower tire would be good for dragging the sleds up to the trails in the winter, That said, I'm not sure id want to sacrifice 1/32 depth to save 7lbs

 

[DriveAllNight]

7 x 4 = 28 pounds of unsprung weight plus another 7 pounds off the tailgate
vs
1/32 of tread = 5,000 to 8,000 miles, Google average claims depending on many factors.

Your call.

 

[Mrplowjr73]

To me the numbers just seem a little off, maybe not. there has to be something I'm missing If the OVERALL Diameter of the 35" is LARGER than the 315, how is the Revolutions per Mile more on the 35"? I'm just wondering if something is out of order or not accurate in the spec sheet which would drastically change ones decision making given the massive weight difference over stock and the (lets be honest) platform that isn't exactly oozing horsepower or beefy parts to support them.

Oddly the 37"s are only a TENTH of a Pound heavier than the 35's. Which If a guy wants 37's and has room to clear them they would be the obvious choice.
