Tire upgrades on 20 in. rims?

[solagbmw]

Are you still liking these? I am considering the same upgrade. Any impact on MPG, and how is road noise?

Yes, still loving them. Quiet for an A/T. I’m guessing probably a 1-2 MPG hit versus OEM road tires. Worth it in my opinion. Haven’t tested them that hard yet off-road. Only a mild fire road.

I’m Getting sliders and skid plates installed next month and will then venture a little further off road.

Awesome, thanks. I placed an order today and found a solid deal at Simple Tire. They had multiple discounts, bringing my total to $956.18 for five tires delivered.

I replaced the OEM Dunlop tires on my LCLC Premium with 20-inch wheels when I did the 1,000-mile break-in oil change. I put on BFG KO2 265/60 R20 (the KO3 in that size isn't available until August 2025, I'm told). I live in Wyoming; my house sits on a ridge at 7500 ft, and it's 2.5 miles of not-so-great gravel road just to get to my mailbox... so the Dunlops would probably not have been acceptable (especially in winter).

With the load rating E of the KO2, I upped the tire pressure to 38 psi, which seems to ride well. I'd probably bump it to 40 or a little more if I carried much of a load, but it's usually just me and not much gear. Average MPG with the Dunlops was a little over 23; average MPG with the KO2's at 38 psi is a little over 22. That's mostly rural road and small-town driving, with some interstate driving (that goes up and down a mountain pass at over 8500 ft) mixed in.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the KO2's both in performance and looks.

Any noticeable hit to the fuel economy and or ride quality? Had these tires on my F150 and really like how they rode. Quiet tires too.

I replaced the OEM Dunlop tires on my LC and put on Cooper Road & Trail AT 275/60 R20. Run them at 36 psi.
I like them so far. They fit perfectly, no issues. A bit more "hum" at hwy speed, but not much. Maybe 1-2 mpg loss...

Not what most folks are looking at, but had 275/60/20 General Arctic Grabbers thrown in today. Looks better than the stocks and well prepped for winter now!

I had 275/60/20 Falken Rubitrek tires installed today. The noise over stock Dunlops is negligible. You cannot tell the difference between them and the stock tires over everyday radio listening.

I had Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws installed on my 20's today. They look fantastic! I'm heading out west in a couple of weeks to get them out on some trails. We'll see if you can't wheel on 20's like people seem to think.

How did they do on the trails? I’m about to pull the trigger on these wildpeak at4ws.
