    I really like the dependability of the KO2’s, especially after many offroad miles on sharp rocks!

    E-load on this size of truck is nuts. The rotational mass is killer

    When you are 2/3 hours away from the nearest town on a forest service road and others have a flat tire or two and you give them a ride. The Taco with an E-load saves the day for the stranded.

    Getting my E load 265/75/16s put on saturday. I don't expect to ride worse than my old truck so I am not concerned there. Honestly most of my uncertainty is from having the stock wheels. I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that they are +30 offset. I know the TRD offroads come with +25. I doubt I will notice the difference, but I am a little worried the stance will look funny.

    Keep in mind there is no C rated 265-75-16 in the BFG KO2.

    Just put on 265/70/R17 C-rated KO2's yesterday. The most prominent differences compared to OEM tires is that it takes slightly more braking pedal distance to stop as they are a lot heavier than stock. MPG took a tiny hit and cruising at 40 is a bit harder to maintain as I can feather the pedal to stay at 40 with stock. I can't really tell if cornering got better though, there's definitely a different feel. As for off road, there's a significant increase in grip. I got up slopes that I always slipped on when on stock tires. Overall, I'ma say worth. :thumbsup:
