    That looks great, good choice. I'm assuming that you have stock height on your truck. What about speedometer differences? Is that an issue? Can speedometers be recalibrated? How much out do you figure that you will be?

    Fwiw I put 265/75R16 load range E KOs on my 06 SR5 4.0L 5A 4x4.

    I liked the added ride height, traction, durability and look but I wouldn't do it again. I lost a consistent 60 miles of range per fill, there was a noticeable power loss and the brakes suffered.

    stock height. have not tested speedo but its will either be dead on or slightly slow. I think they can be recalibrated.

    They look great! Same set up I'm wanting. Where did you get the trail team wheels and how much? (if you don't mind me asking)

    Just for another data point here, I went with the new FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T3W in LT265/75R16 LRE 123S , and like those with the BFG KO2s in that size, there was definitely a hit on fuel economy. I'm getting 16-17ish mpg mostly highway on a stock TRD Off-Road with this tire size, it was more like 19-20mpg with the OE GYs.

    FALKEN also offers a
    265/75R16 116T which is 43.9lbs
    vs the
    LT265/75R16 LRE 123S which is 55.3lbs.

    I may try this size out soon also just so folks have a fuel economy data point on the forum.

    Do you have a lift, and do you get any rubbing with that setup? Exactly what tire size is that?

    I just hate the stock rims. Hopefully I sell the TDR rims I bought by mistake.
