35in BFGoodrich KO2s on my 2024 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison!

[@dantimber]

Look great. I like that you didn't mess with the suspension and kept the stock wheels.

[@UntamedMotors]

Thank you! I’m super happy with this setup. =]

[@whocaresjustdoit]

Why Chevy didn’t put 35s on this truck from the factory is beyond me… I’ll watch your ownership with this one! I’m looking to get one but having to put aftermarket stuff to put 35s is a little turnoff for me especially for the price. Both Chevy and Toyota are asking Raptor price but they’re like “we want to ask for Raptor money but we don’t really want to compete with the Raptor 😂”

[@J.Young808]

CAFE standards. Smaller tires are slightly more fuel efficient.

[@ZacTexC]

Between you DIY and having them do it is a huge price difference.

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

@@J.Young808raptors have 35s and 37s

[@BC_Hunter]

My guess would be for EPA numbers? I agree with you though, stock 35’s should be the standard for ZR2.

[@kristoferfc6525]

Yeah it's wild man. The Peak Suspension stuff is pretty affordable IMO. I did 35's BFG KM3's, went down a size on the wheel and did a 17 Method 701 Bead Grip, and Dirt King UCA's with a 2" shock spacer. Then the rear I did a Peak 3" block instead of the factory 2" along with a custom Deaver Leaf pack since I wanted to get my clearance with more travel with the weight I'm running. In hind sight I wouldn't have gone with the offset I have for my wheels but I'm stuck with it for now which is fine, only because I'm rubbing a bit even after clearancing with the lift.

[@davedonlick2146]

Love the KO2s look with the white lettering out!

[@MF-jd4qh]

the goodyears are 33.2" and the ko2 is the smallest 35 you can buy measuring about 34.3" so you gained 1.1 " witch is only .55 of taller ride hight.

[@AbleMike5]

I sold my 2016 Land Cruiser and got into a 2023 Silverado Trail Boss. I put on Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/70R18 which are 34x11.50. Ride great and I get better than sticker fuel mpg on the 5.3 V8. All in all I’m happy. I think you will be too-finally able to do pickup truck things.

[@matthollis1270]

Looking forward to these videos now. The Bison is on my list. Looks great.

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks man! Super pleased with this beast so far! Excited to provide a bunch of videos through ownership.

[@elizabethwonders]

Awesome! 🔥🤟🏼 I accidentally scrubbed forward, on your video, and saw, what I thought was a Dually, (2 tires side by side)!! Haha!! Nice KO2’s!!! Congrats!! ❤️😊

[@UntamedMotors]

Haha 😂 thank you! 🙏🏼 Wry pleased with how it looks now.

[@lunamaria1048]

KO2s are my go-to for my adventure 4Runner! They get me through everything I throw at them (which is a lot!). I use them religiously, which annoys my fiance😂. I have never felt a need for mud terrains. My fiancé is currently trying to decide between the ZR2 or Sierra AT4X. I love the ZR2, but trying not to sway his decision lol. We use trucks for their intended purpose! The ZR2 has more stock bash plate protection, so I like that. It will be our first American vehicle lol Nice truck!

[@altaafkader9675]

Looks awesome! Whites out in KO2s are the way to go. And those rims remind me of the Lamborghini Diablo from the early 90s, looks sick!

[@UntamedMotors]

That’s a really neat comparison, you’re right 👌 💯

[@mikelaughlin270]

That looks great with the 35's!! Great looking truck.

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

wow your tuck looks great untamed!!

[@Terrarunner24]

This is definitely how they should come stock. And I really think they would sell way more. But then again they wouldn’t discount them if they sold more. Either way looks great!!

[@UntamedMotors]

Agreed! Definitely finishes the look. 👌 Thanks man.

[@mattlitton776]

What made you choose the Chevy instead of the GMC Sierra AT4X AEV edition? Curious because they are the pretty much the same truck.

[@Chris-pl1wk]

I personally like the look of the Chevy better, but Chevy is also cheaper.

[@drjhunter]

I just bought exact same truck and paid 78,000 with GMAC financing at 2.9% for 4 years and it stickered at 83,300 . The AT4X stickers over 88 k as same optioned truck

[@srandyt2]

I have had great luck with both KO1s and KO2s in the snow. On 4WD Hilux all the way to 2nd Gen Tacomas and 3rd gen 4Runners, Looking good, by the way.

Can you share a picture of the size of the new tires? I own a ZR2 and currently looking for a change

[@skifishride438]

Btw the ko2’s are winter rated, and pretty decent in the snow. I live in Canada 😂

[@lilklondikeoutdoors4116]

Man that’s a good looking truck!

[@skifishride438]

Toyota fanboy here. Love your new beast.

[@Papolucho702]

This thing is already good to destroy trails. I would look don’t care if it gets slower or whatever, trucks don’t need to go fast on pavement. I really like the way this rig looks.

[@SDRacing88]

Great looking truck. Only thing I would change are the low hanging steps....maybe get some Amps or something else that can drop down.

[@mikehughes8023]

Well I guess you’re not missing the old V8 TRD Pro huh?😎. Nice Chevy!🔥

[@OfficialAing]

Way better than I thought! Who cares about performance? It looks good! Joking aside, I think the all around good performance of the KO2s out weights their 1 down side of not being the best in snow.

[@Offspec79]

Nice truck, I have on order Silverado 2500 ZR2 gas in slate gray.They come with 35" tires from factory. I really like the rims you have on the Bison.

[@markholzman6444]

Any planned update for the door handles? Not digging the gloss black.

[@drjhunter]

I have exact same truck with the duramax . Any rubbing off roading with the 35” tires . I’m adding oem mud flaps to prevent rock chips but they will probably worsen the rubbing with 35”

[@scottherman6000]

Good looking truck! Keep us updated on mpg. I’m curious what kind of mpg did you get on your last tundra? I have a white 23 pro with 35 ko2 and I’m getting 12 mpg. I’ve been hearing good things about this new Duramax. I’m turning into untamed I’ve had 3 since March of 22😂

[@shanewhittemore]

I have had 3 since last December. Misery loves company!

[@UntamedMotors]

Haha nice! Glad to know I’m not alone with this lol. Will do, I’ll provide mpg updates as we move forward. 👍

[@B_EIMON]

I would have thought you'd get a little better mpg. I get 17-18 city driving my new raptor driving it hard.

[@soonerfan745]

The tire upgrade really makes the stance look great. Next upgrade, ditch the plows that are passing for running board steps and get some power steps.

[@dantimber]

Agree. Those running board steps are way too low for looks but especially actual off-road use. High centering.

[@mrrod6095]

Put some more aggressive fender flares like the ones on the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison…

[@kaziabbas3537]

[@nddLOG01]

I am still confuse you went from Lx to Silverado bison unless it was too much financially to keep lx

[@TheRaptor1964]

Looks great. So after have them in use did you experience any rubbing? I just purchased one ZR2 but looking to change tires only don't want to end up doing anything extra but just the tires. Thx

[@UntamedMotors]

I never experienced rubbing with this setup thankfully 👍 Congrats on your ZR2

[@TheRaptor1964]

@@UntamedMotors thx I will buy those BF Goodrich KO2

[@PlugNuster]

Your ZR2 Bison looks SO good man, love the white with black accents. My thing is dependability with a Chevy vs Toyota. I just don't see that Chevy NOT going to the dealer for all sorts of issues, not to mention its depreciation ratio compared to the Tundra. Good looking truck but I will stay in my Tundra PRO.

[@vin9976]

Dude...Tundras are currently in the shop for MONTHS due to that smaller engine entirely failing. Buddy tried to trade his in and dealer wouldn't take it. Bizarre. Toyota still isn't entirely sure why per there "it's believed to be debris". Lexus Engines made in Japan and the Alabama engines made here both having that same total engine failure approx 30k miles. It's on 2024's too. Recall is only the legal "safety" stuff, but that engine has a serious issue and it could easily be a design issue at this point. Considering they studied it in 2021/2022 and still had large engine failure in 2022/2023/2024 models that's no small thing. I know 2024's aren't in recall but that's just a matter of time, there are currently 2024 models undergoing full engine repairs awaiting Toyota's fix which hasn't been released yet until July. These Tundra's aren't the same as a Japanese Built 4Runner with a V8 sorta reliability. That's a bit different than having a few things needing fixed here and there. 2021 and previous tho...those Tundras were pretty awesome tho. Still are.

[@sean47w7]

Which truck rides better and more fun to drive? The ZR2 or Tundra TRD Pro?

[@UntamedMotors]

The diesel is a nice change. I prefer the overall driving feel of this new ZR2. The ZR2 has a softer suspension than the Pro. I prefer the sound of the 5.7l V8 and light steering feel.

[@Griswold20]

White lettering in would look for more stealthy. Can the step on the faux sliders be removed? Maybe they are real sliders. Either way the step needs to go. Truck would look mean white lettering in and steps removed

[@Jay-bw3fl]

Wranglers are loud, ko2s are the way to go and the 35s fit perfect. Awesome truck esp with the diesel. The Lexus was boring. Looking forward to your GX that is inevitably coming to the channel lol

[@leovargas7045]

Nice looking truck.

[@crushbaseball4270]

Looks amazing, not sure why chevy doesn’t offer 35 in tires from factory especially when the 2024 Colorado ZR2 Bison gets 35s standard

[@J.Young808]

CAFE ratings. The amount of MPG’s counts for OEM’s

[@crushbaseball4270]

@@J.Young808 I think it is more emissions, since my friend that has the 2023 ZR2 Colorado on the stock 33s can’t get any better then about 14-15 mpgs so the bison version would be even worse on 35s and that is getting 35s standard

[@speedsterspeedy2146]

[@zeza8603]

Are the steps mounted to the factory rock guard? If so, you have a link?

[@UntamedMotors]

Yeah these are factory side steps. They came on the truck, I don’t have a link.

[@shanewhittemore]

Don't tell your wife that the old tires are better in snow!! Truck looks great.

[@a.k.vollmer5200]

Add a small wheel spacer to top off the look. Maybe just a 1”

[@J.Young808]

35” tires are plenty big for what you do. To size up to 37” will be thousands more. Plus it puts lots of strain on the drivetrain you will probably loose the DSSV shocks.

[@acevent5759]

I’m getting one at the end of the year and I don’t know if the 35 was worth the money it cost to fit that thing in there man.

[@Dano-MX5]

Those new shoes look perfect on the “albino” Bison with the white letters out. Btw, are your Wranglers for sale? My Tundra will need a new set of tires next year but if the price is right….😁…?

[@UntamedMotors]

I did. About 2-3 inches.

[@ShukBafta]

Looks awsome let me take the old tires

[@springertube]

These look great, but the stock tires looked pretty okay, yeah I know, too much wheel well and no white letter,...and I would think these assuming (35 vs 33) changed your effective final drive / rear end ratio (Speedo change too, are you recalibrating or do the computers do that these days anyway, like internal ABS settings Etc? That said, gearing is gearing..) Now you have less rear end than you did before, like going from a 4:11 to a 3:89 or a 3:89 to a 3.73, etc.., ie less grunt for any given circumstance, if you're okay with that. I'm sure you have, but there's so many out there that don't think of this stuff. You made a very good snow comment, but then disregarded your own observation..... and regardless of looks, why would you go with a lesser snow performance heading into winter in Colorado? I was also going to say regarding comparing the looks, the 35s that are on the vehicle now are compressed, so they would look closer to the empty 33s than they normally would apples-to-apples. Not trying to be a Negative Nancy here, just questions! All that said, they do look great! And a (relatively) cheap lift! I may be in the minority here, but I would stop here, lift wise.
