What drivers say about their 275/70 R17 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I thought I'd try these out as they were cheaper than the KO3s. So far so good, dramatic improvement in steering over the KO2s and from some wet running, a lot more wet grip. I don't have any snow or ice driving yet but will update in the future.
So far so good, I like them. Nice and comfortable and quiet. Solid offroad.
