Hey everyone - so first of all I understand everyone's needs are different so I'll try to give as much info as possible. This is my first "real" offroader...and tires are expensive so want to make the best decision I can.
For starters - I live in Colorado and I'm going to be building out my Badlands as an offroad/overlander. I'm not planning on doing any crazy rock crawling...but I do want pretty decent offroad capability (I expect as I get better I'll take on harder trails to reach more remote dispersed campsites).
I have a 4dr and a pretty good overlanding kit (all told probably looking at @250-300lbs for tent and all my gear). I'm going to be adding a trailrax with pax racks roofrack and throwing some of my gear (lower profile and on the lighter side) up on the roof.
I'm also going to be using this Bronco as my daily driver...although I don't drive all that much (probably @8000-10000 miles/year). However since this is going to be my only vehicle I'd like at least a somewhat comfortable ride - so E rated tires are out.
As soon as I get my Bronco I'm pulling the stock Badlands tires/wheels and putting on a 1" leveling kit, Black Rhino Warthog wheels, and either the 35" C rated KO2s or D rated MT Baja A/T. My dealer works with 4wheelparts and they're going to install/warranty the work and those seem to be the best two tires 4WP has for my needs (although wtf do I know?)
I also need AT tires that are good in the snow. I spend a lot of time in the mountains year-round and for the first time I'll be able to get into my cabin even with snow and some drifts on the ground.
I'm leaning towards the KO2s...but given my lack of knowledge and experience I figured I'd ask here. Bronco is scheduled to be built week of 4/24 (we'll see if that actually happens) - so if all goes well I'm guessing probably have it sometime in June. I have some time to do research now so I figure I should try to get as much figured out as possible asap.
Thanks for any/all help and info!
