There are a few guys on CF that are still waiting for the first sets of 255/80/17 BFG KM2's to be delivered. I don't think anyone has gotten a firm release date yet.

They are available, just checked with my local tire shop and they have 9 on hand for $230 each. Just wanting to see if anyone else had a set installed yet and how they like them.

I would love to see a set of these on some H2 rims with a SWR. It would be taller / skinner then the stock 265/70's but the H2 rims would probably push them out to give the truck a nice stance..
Sorry I really don't have anything of value to add to your question, I am in need of tires and taller (for looks and rpms), narrower for less resistance and weight is really what I am looking for.... and to top it off, I just ran across a set of H2 chome wheels that the guy wants peanuts for...
FYI
heres the measurements for:
265/70-17= 10.43" wide and 31.6" tall
285/70-17= 11.22" wide and 32.7" tall
255/70-17= 10.03" wide and 33.06" tall

I am interested too.
I called a few places that didnt have listings for them, but I want to get these asap,,,, i need new rubber before it rains again.
four wheel parts wholesalers has them for $194 each on their website.
Do you guys think a spacer would be prudent? the gap between the duals should close by 20mm. Think a 1/4" spacer would be good? Anybody make steel spacers?
And,
Anybody with these know if they fit a 3rd gen well without any lift?
Thanks,

I just got a set of these today, Ive got 8000 lbs on my rear axle, 80 psi in the tires with 3/4 inch or so of gap at the bottom of duals. No rubbing on the front axle. No lift. Shouldnt rub, as 315/70/17 will just about clear with no lift, and these are a lot smaller.
