    I'm still waiting for the delivery of my 2020 Tacoma 4x4 Off road. I plan to swap the tires out (stock rims) with 265/75/16 KO2s.

    Under conditions would this setup require chains or cables? Do they go on all 4 tires?

    Will cables/chains be easy to install on this configuration? is there enough clearance?

    I live in Oklahoma so I know NOTHING about snow chains, but I've heard people can have some very minor rubbing at full lock on this setup, so I'm gonna guess that you won't be able to fit chains unless you lift. Again, this is all a guess but you may look into these threads:

    I live in OR and see snow once in a while. Or if taking my family up to the mountains. How well do the KO2's do in snow in 4x4?

    Chains go on the rear only. You’ll be just fine with that size tire and chains/cables on the rear.
