I stopped by my local Les Schwab tire center and they said "oh yeah toyo just started making a 33x10.50." they quoted me about $15 more per tire for the toyo's than there price on BFG KM2's (there price on KM2's is way high 225ea vs 189ea at multiple national chains)

not sure if it would be cheaper thru a diffrent Toyo dealer as quite offten Les Schwab's prices seem to be a bit inflated.

those are pretty good lookin' and look like they would be better onroad then the KM2, while still being great offroad. Too bad they arent in 30x9.5x15

I'm pretty sure a 10" wide 33 will rub real bad unless you have at least a 6" suspension lift.

I only paid $715 for 4 BFG KM2's (31x10.5/15) @ Americas Tire/Discount tire.

Reed is running 33x10.5 with no problems.
The Mystery lift is all you need to do.

I thought you needed to cut up the fenders to get 33x10.5 in there without any rubbing?

You and Reed both have 33's, but both of you also have the "special" cut out flares. I don't see how you could run a tire that big without cutting up the fenders?

You do have to cut. They would not even bolt on without. Our fender openings are only 31".
