    That’s a pretty good deal. I got my st maxx from Walmart 185 a tire. I love mine handled HF no issues I aired down to 18psi without incident.

    I currently have 285/65/R18 open country on all 4, is it okay to replace the 2 front to an all terrain and leave the original 2 on the back? for budget reasons I can't do all 4 at the same time.
    Is the Cooper Discoverer STT PRO a good tire?

    thank you

    It's not a good idea. Even the same size tire is different from manufacturer to manufacturer. A bald KO2 compared to a fresh Toyo mudder would be a fair difference in size which can be hard on the truck in some circumstances, and the handling would be squirrelly with each end having different grip characteristics.

    Do you have any pics from the side? Interested in this tire and some feedback since it is Load E rating. What's it like on the highway? Did it balance easily or did it require a lot of weights? Just curious and there aren't too many people running these in this size on Tacos. Thanks in advance!

    Is anyone running KO2 235/85/16s on a stock suspension with the off road alloy wheels? Any rubbing? And opinions on them?

    I am currently running KOs in 245/75/16.

    I’m surprised I don’t see more people running these, they’re great tires. Nitto ridge grappler 255/80/17 on 4Runner wheels.

    I'm very interested in your opinion on these. Are they Load C or E and do you know how much they weigh? It seems there has been conflicting info on Nitto's website about the true weight of these tires. Did you go to this size from stock or another size and what do you think of them on the highway and off-road?

    I run KO2 in 235/85R16 on 2nd gen OR wheels. I'm lifted about 2", though. They won't rub on anything and I doubt you'd have trouble on stock suspension. I have Camburg upper arms and can fit my fist sideways between the arm and tire.

    I haven’t taken them off-road yet, I had 265 st maxx before. These are quieter on the highway. I haven’t weighed them so I was trusting the spec weight...

    What's your suspension set up and do you have any rubbing issues?
