    Guys,

    Looking to put new rubber on my 2010 Prerunner Sport. I'm going to stick with the OE size for my TXPro wheels; 265/70/16. I was planning to get the Michelin ATX, but see BFG has the KO2 in this size now.

    My mileage has taken a hit since I added the TXPro/OE BFG package and moved away from the OE wheels & Bridgestone HTs. Anyone have feedback on their mileage since going win the KO2? I suspect it will be worse?

    Thanks in advance.

    I would expect realistically a 1-3 mpg drop.

    Taller more aggressive stickier tread plus the added weight makes a big difference over the stock stuff.

    That's what I was suspected. I can't see paying the extra premium for the KO2s and then getting hit a little more each time I fill up.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    unless you plan to use the tires as they were designed stay with a mild AT/Highway tire, That will have the least impact of performance and MPG.

    This truck never goes off road and is my daily driver. Love the KO2 look, but it's not worth the extra expenditure.

    Thanks for the input.
