    Apparently the K02s are horrible to balance. The tread does seem to last a while though.

    Yes and yes. The most weight I ever put on a tire was a ko2... 7oz

    After balancing I did a sanity check, took it off than back on... it was balanced

    Truck came in for a rotation and balance so it wasn't new

    their QC seems to have slipped a lot the last 10 years. I've been hearing a lot of balancing complaints

    I'm planning on running 9oz airsoft BBs in each so they should be alright lol

    Mine wouldnt balance, it just wasn't possible. Easily the worst tires I've ever bought. I sold them with 65% tread cause I couldn't take it anymore.

    Would you all say there’s another all terrain that does better in the mud and mild rocks?

    I’m thinking in gonna go with skinny 32s cause I can’t stand rubbing, even at full lock, and it might make the truck feel a bit less sluggish lol.

    I’ve heard good things about wild peaks and open countrys.
    I’ve got wild peaks on 2 of the tacos and have no issues with them. But the wheeling consists of moving through a muddy field once every few months lol

    Did you see a lot of the 1MZ V6s sludging up? I’ve done some research and evidently the Siennas were the worst offenders.

    Minivans never get the maintenance they need, packaging makes people just ignore them. Like the back bank of spark plugs never get changed haha

    I had 285s on my 80 series: Cooper ATPs. They lost traction pretty easily, even in mild off-road conditions. I was scared of getting another MT after my Cooper Evos wore down so fast on my 98 Tacoma. It turned out that was due to a bent frame/axle though.
