Checking in with a little holiday DIY ujorification.

Just needs tires and driveshafts!

Was hoping 285 BFG KO2's would be out by now. Local shop is trying to talk me into the 275's which are out. Or go with the Cooper At3?

I bought 10 285/75 R16 KO2's last week. Your probably looking for 285/70 R17 - are they not available yet, I thought they were.

I was going to get some KO2s, but I ended up getting a set of Cooper S/T Maxx tires and I couldn't be happier. Awesome in snow, dirt, and asphalt. I can't recommend them enough.

I'm pretty faithful to my local Big O tires because they have sponsored me for autocross for years, they said 285/70/17 don't even have a part# yet. I would go with the Toyo at2 but les schwab has rights to them in this area and makes it hard for bigO to get reasonable prices on.

275/17 bfg spec out at a 32.2" with max rim width 8.5 (I have 9") edit: anyone take issue with going 1/2" over on rim width?
285/17 cooper is 32.7
I think the stmaxx is a little to much of a mud terrain tire for me

Looking for something with a snowflake rating....

Looks like they will be available in March - still "rolling them out".

I have about 6k miles on mine now and I really like em as well.

What's the difference between the UJOR and Quigley?

I've seen that some have been converted from Quigley to UJOR. I just bought a Quigley van, and was wondering.

Quigleys aren't allowed in Asheville!

Ride quality, handling, build quality, no proprietary wearing parts on the UJOR setup.
