    I’ve had c rated 265/70/17 KO2s at 46 each and I’ve noticed absolutely no change in MPGs. If anything it got better, been getting 19-20MPGs driving nicely around town, it’s amazing.

    I’m guessing less rollling resistance makes it a wash.

    Only have had them for 2 days. But they are much smoother and much more quiet than the KM2s I had on.
    Had them in some mud today and they ate it up.

    Yup. I did this before my lift. Very minor rubbing on stock mud flaps. Fixed my moving to aftermarket.

    I have those too. They are WAY skinny compared to most others. Significantly more than my ST Maxx were. I just did almost 2 weeks in CO and Moab and they did absolutely great. I did not use MTS at all and only needed locker once due to sand on the rock in Moab. I would say that sand is their only real traction flaw, and it is likely due to size. I did a fair amount of soft sand and got through at 14psi, but have had better sand tires. Sand is probably my least encountered traction issue though.

    All the benefits of the increase in tire height, less of the negatives associated with achieving that height.

    Plus, very easy to fit, i.e. no cutting of any kind.

    I still run mud flaps and have no issues:
