Anybody have a spare 2004 wheel?
« on: August 03, 2015, 11:31:41 AM »
So this happened today while my wife was driving...


I happen to now be in the market for a new wheel or set... Anybody have anything appropriate they're looking to offload?

Ouch! That little piece of string did all that damage?  :o

Seriously though, what the heck did she hit?

You know the line they're trying to make the space elevator from? I'm guessing it's that :)

Honestly though, she has no idea, must have been angle iron or something. She's a good driver and swears she didn't see anything. I'm guessing a car next to her kicked it up.

Just pulled the trigger on a set of 235/85R16 KO2s from Americas Tire (shameless plug for Rudy in Fullerton who HOOKED IT UP). He's getting me a matching rim too, all will be in tomorrow. Looking forward to posting some photos once it's all on and I've painted the new rim.

Dang that's a nasty slice through the tire. But good to hear you got it worked out! And yes, that's definitely the fitting name change. :)

So my new tires are on, still trying to figure out if I like the look or not. What I do like is how easy it is to turn the wheel now, steering is way nice on a rig with subpar steering to start with. Tires are 235/85R16 KO2s. Seriously, Americas Tire in Fullerton was awesome to work with on this. They handled my incessant calling and questioning with some impressive patience.

Hey John.

I'm a lurker on this site, been a silent member for a while.  I'm looking to upgrade my tires as well on my daily driver and was thinking about these tires.  What are your thoughts on them?

I think John's in Peru right now.

He won't shut up about how awesome they are.  If that's any indication, I think he likes them :D

Hey! Yes, big fan of the tires, can't shut up about em. They grab really nicely, road manners are way better imo, they're responsive too. They were also a solid $200+ cheaper than 265/75r16. Happy purchaser here.

Buying them again would be such a no-brainer, even Steve C could do it.

I ended up pulling the trigger on a set of 265/75R16 KO2s.  I really like them.  I agree with your comment about road manners.

I now have 2 Bfg Long Trail 265/70R16s I need to get rid of.  They have about 30k miles on them.  Wanted to post here on this forum before I hit craigslist.  Rather they go to someone here.
