BF Goodridge Tyres
Hi all
I recently got a puncture in my 6 month old BFG 285/65/R18 tyre which I tried to get it repaired but was told I couldn't because the puncture was right on the edge. So I thought I would just buy a new tyre, I have tried with every known tyre company and eBay and other sites but with no luck because BF Goodridge came out with a new design on the Ko all terrain July 2015 so stopped making the Ko.they are now called ko1 but I can't get ether in my size as Bfg decided to stop making that size.
Does anyone know where I can get one or can I put on two new tyres but a different size in depth say 75 or 55 and would this put to much load on the diffs or transfer box running 65 on front and 75 on back. Any help please ...

That's interesting Jed because I will need 4 new tires soon and guess what...the brand new spare is off the old style and I was hoping to buy 3 new and use the spare Shocked
Let us know if you find anywhere that does the old style Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I wouldn't its bloody dangerous on a tubeless tyre. Just hunt down a tyre repairers (as in a proper vulcaniseres not a branch of Kwik fit Rolling with laughter ) and get it repaired. Failing that use the guys I use in Bath- meridian tyre services.

Hi Jed,
KO2 in 285/65/18 is available in the US. They tend to take a while before the same sizes reach Europe, so it may be still on it's way here.
Getting one imported yourself could be an option.

I was just about to order a new set of twisted wheels for my new defenders
Does this mean you can't get 285 at all and its looks like no 18" either according to there web site
