    Feels just fine, I don’t struggle at all. I spent a lot of time picking lightweight rims too which helps.

    Good to hear, those tires are pretty heavy. Smart to get lighter rims.

    I can’t find an accurate weight of the 33x10.5r17. Do you know what it is?

    Has anyone had a chance to drive these in snowy/icy conditions? Seriously thinking about these tires in this size for my other truck.

    I've been driving them in rain extremely hard to see the point they lose traction and haven't found it failing at all

    I went with Kenda Klever R/T tires in 265/70-17 size on my 2019 TRD Pro, which has a 1-inch stock lift. Rims are -6 offset. Get occasional rubbing.

    I recently spent a week exploring off-road trails all over southern Utah. A few weeks prior, I ran muddy trails in Ozark National Forest in Arkansas. The off-road performance of these tires is quite amazing. I've owned BFG A/T and Hankook M/T tires (all were 285/70-17) on my previous build (2007 4Runner 4x4), so those set the standard. I found the Klever R/T to be the right combination of A/T and M/T performance. They did great in the snow.

    Glad to hear they do well in the snow. I too like the idea of something in between an A/T and M/T. I have a lot miles on BFG ATs both KO and KO2s. How would you compare them directly to the BFGs?

    Pros: off-road grip is superior**, tread rids the tires of mud quickly, sidewall tread is very functional, more aggressive look and performance overall, more affordable than KO2s
    Cons: heavy (mine are 55 lbs each), pavement whine is loud at 70+ mph (audio system drowns out the noise)

    **There was a difficult part of a trail in Ark where the other rigs struggled with tires slipping and required multiple attempts. I was the only one who made it over the 1st time and encountered zero slippage.

    So far I have about 4,000 miles on 'em. If weather cooperates and if governors don't shutdown the Texas/Ark border, I'll be hitting Ouachita NF in a few weeks. Really bummed that Lone Star Toyota Jamboree was cancelled this year. Was eager to see how the tires did on those rugged trails.

    They are 68 lbs according to someone who weighed them in the thread link on the first page.

    I really like these tires on paper. I don't tow, I want to keep snow performance above a mud tire, and I want more ground clearance without need a cab mount relocation. I would like more anecdotal information but seems like a relatively new tire so that will come. Leaning towards these instead of 315's.
