    The reason they buy them is they look good. Shallow people. Now, if i lived in the desert with no rain I would give them another chance. Rain and snow? No way.

    they don't even really look good to me lol.
    I think there's much better looking and better performing tires than them.

    I’ll take a wild guess and say you didn’t really like the KO2s

    As far as 3rd Gen performance in the rain goes. Not very good considering they are made of sugar and melt.
    Serious note. Tire choice is going to play a big role in performance.

    Well. First Tacoma I tried out was a used 2016 in Oshkosh. Luckily was heavy rain the night before. Nice test drive. Checked out rear storage behind rear seat and nice puddles on both sides. Later that day I tried put another used 2016 ORDC 4x4 in Green Bay, and took it thru car wash. Leaked like crazy onto rear seat.
    So if you buy a gen 3, b sure to take thru car wash. My 17 ordc went thru several b4 we bought.
