    Couldn't say. These tires haven't even seen rain yet. Perhaps another member has feedback or even the manufacturer's website.

    The Grabbers look great, thanks for posting. I've been comparing the Grabbers and The BFG K02's ( which I had on my Jeep and loved). 265/70/17's for my 2020 TRD Sport. The reviews on Tirerack have the Grabbers better in every category. But very close. Being in WI, snow is a concern for me as well. I think I'm going with Grabbers too. Thanks for the pic, that's what I was looking for.

    They're studable too! Not that I would ever need studs in coastal VA, but in WI, I bet studs would be a good thing!

    I have LT265/70R17 C BFG KO2s on 17x7 TRD PRO (4Runner) on my Tacoma. I removed the front mini flaps before I even installed the new tires and rims, so I can’t speak to rubbing on those. However, I do have rubbing on the front full mud flaps at full turn. I’m debating on either taking them off completely or taking them off and attempting to trim the high spots on the flaps that are causing the rub. I can see myself down the road installing the Bilstein

    B8 5100 (Ride Height Adjustable) shock absorbers and setting them on the .85 or 1.75. All in all I’m happy with the BFGs, although I’ve only had them for about a day.

    Have you all noticed any differece in power when going with the 265/70/17 over the stock 265/65/17? I'm thinking about going with the same size. Just wondering if I would notice a difference when towing?

    I haven’t noticed a difference, l’d say stick with the C load range and stay away from Es which are a heavier tire and may cause more drag.
