    lol

    OP, it drives like a truck. But in the rain. If you’re used to a Corrola and Mustang, then the Colorado or Tacoma will be much more top heavy. So, just, slow down before you turn. Don’t lane change quickly and you’ll be fine.

    I thought they looked cool when they came out, but now every time I see one I'm so glad that I got a Tacoma. They're the Crocs of the midsize truck world

    They have front and rear lockers too though, It seems like a decent truck, but I'm sure it'll never have the reliability of a Tacoma

    I was wondering when someone would get it right. It's all about tires, whether it is a Geo Metro or a Lambo. Then comes VSC if you are not a good driver.

    Does fine and I still have the crappy OEM Toyo tires with 28k on them. Yes, I am getting news rubber before the snow flies :spending:

    Thats a trick too. I have heart burn about the dual lockers because 99.9999999999% of the time you dont need dual lockers and the only trails that really need them are dedicated rock crawling trails that a new ZR2 would never venture down.

    I definitely like the idea of them but the stock ZR2 can barely make it through class 4 trails (easy-moderate scale 1-10). I have wheeled withe them and most ZR2s bail from the harder stuff so why even have dual lockers.

    My 16 TRDOR does great in the rain. It rains damn near everyday somewhere on Guam, usually around lunch or the time to go home, I'm used to it.

    Will say though there aren't many All Terrain or Mud Terrain tires that excel in rain lol.

    I'd imagine the Michelin LTX would be great in the rain though given they are more a highway tire.
    I know when it came to cars the BFG G Forge KDW were amazing for me in the rain when I had them on my cars in the past, and the Michelin Pilot Supersports were pretty great too.

    Two best in the rain I have ran are the Michelin and the Cooper AT3. I have run probably four sets of each over the past decade and a half. Ran the new K02 for about 10K miles. Not for.me in the rain or snow like we have in the Appalachians. Sold them, took the hit and bought another set of Coopers.

    anyone that says the KO2 are good in rain are either full of shit or have never driven anything that was actually good in rain. Because when I had those fuckers on my work truck I hydroplaned into a guard rail with minimal rain and only doing 60km/hr and utter shit in the snow on my jeep when I got it.

    They are utter fucking shit in both the rain and snow. I do not get where they get all the hype. If I ever actually paid for those tires and those were the results I got after all the hype for them I'd be asking for my money back and wanting to stab each fucker that told me they were good in the eye with a fuckin blunt pencil.

    They may be strong and stood up to job site nails and other shit great but the rest of the performance was utter fucking shit for such a pricey tire.
