I currently have 285/70r17 k02s and genuinely love them, and have put them through some pretty rough stuff.
BFGoodrich all terrain tires have been my go to as we have them on our jeep right now (which we are not keeping much longer).
The 275/70/17 size shouldn’t rub with stock suspension, my bfg ko2’s never did and now I have ko3’s and they don’t.
I personally love my BFG tires, and have had a good experience with multiple sets.
I also swapped the stock tires for A/T tires, mostly for the looks, but they actually helped in sand and rough surfaces.
I ended up going with the KO3 recently when my badlands tires wore down. They are noticeably better in the rain and taking quick turns without the backend slipping.
I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.
They’ve always been great tires, wear well and have strong sidewalls, but they do sometimes not work great in wet conditions at slow speeds. For instance if you’re leaving a stop light you can easily break them loose. But at speed they have never failed me.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
