So I wish I would have done the all terrains that I put on my mini. You can’t beat the K02 for looks/reliability/longevity but we do to much city driving for that kind of tread. It’s louder and more uncomfortable ride quality. I should have probably realized that going in but you live and learn. The wildpeak at trails are the tires I put on my mini and they were designed for mid size suv. They look great and still have good tread.
Interesting, I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out as you hoped. I love the look of the BFG’s KO2’s also. My local tire shop said I’ll regret it. I have been looking at the falcon trail also. It appears to be a much more mild all-terrain tire in my opinion. Like you said, you can’t beat the look buy you do sacrifice ride quality. Thanks for posting the video and answering my question. I appreciate it.
How do the falcon trails ride compare to a stock all season? I it’s interesting because my primary vehicles an F150 that has all-terrain tires on it and I’m OK with that but I use the Land Rover as my local drive around car. I don’t wanna ruin the ride Quality. The car maneuvers like a Jeep and has a styling and luxury of a BMW. Very unique vehicle in a good way.
Just my thoughts. The standard size for these cars on an 18 inch wheel is 235/60. What concerns me is that the 60 measurement is the sidewall height. If you change the height of the tyre it will affect the accuracy of the speed sensor. I would have no issue with the 255 if there were enough clearance on a 60, but I am guessing that the compromise of the wider tyre meant you couldn't do a 60 tyre without it rubbing on the shock. I would rather have the correct circumference than have the extra width. Plus, the width will be more impactful on the MPG, and when aired down, then there might be rubbing when the tyre belly's out a bit more. A narrower or standard size tyre will allow better traction in mud and snow. That's why rally cares have narrow studded tyres in snow and mud stages. I have been looking at my options, because I have the 20 inch wheels and was to change them for 18 inch, but I'm yet to find an example where somebody has fitted the K02 in standard size, on the black FK721007CB wheel. They are available, so it surprises me that there aren't any videos. It's great to see somebody fitting offroad tyres and making the Sport a bit more like a Freelander 2. I will be doing the same. I already have my tent and other gear mounted on mine, and for now am running M+S JLR tyres.
@@tfletchera87 Hi tom, I'm really sorry to hear that. I lived in the US for about 11 years and had some near misses with deer myself. I was very lucky. I hope you didn't suffer any injuries. All the best
They look awesome. Did you notice the difference when going offroad?
Oh they definitely grab better for sure. Don’t drive them through a yard to aggressively lol
did yours come with receiver hitch? Do you know where to get one?
No it didn’t. E trailer has them.
How’s it going with the tires? I haven’t finished watching the video yet but curious of how it worked out. Thanks.

Sadly the car was totaled during a deer hit. Hardly had a chance to use them. Enjoyed the look but the mpg loss was heavy and the ride was terrible.
