Looks great!

Putting KO2s on a RWD car is a bit silly, in my opinion, but more power to you.

It looks great.

Bear in mind the tradeoffs. That's a 50-pound Load Range E tire with a 31.5-inch diameter. Expect reduced performance and range due to heavy unsprung weight and rotational mass.

I remember a video on slate that a guy did pint out that the beta model didn’t have bfg’s haha

There are lighter duty A/T tires on the market that I think easily outperform the KO/2 especially on wet pavement. My Falken Wildpeaks come to mind. Also, why is an A/T tire on a RWD rear motor vehicle the wrong choice? If you go anywhere near dirt, it absolutely is the right choice.

true I have street tires on my work truck and man they suck getting in and out of retentions they work but definitely not the best choice

Indeed the Wildepeak's available as a Standard Load tire in that size (245/75/17), which I think is unusual. Cool! And it's roughly nine pounds lighter than the KO2. That would be easier on the steering and suspension parts and probably ride better as well.

If I go near dirt, I’ll be rethinking my car choice, not my tire choice.
