    Specs for the Ko2 are 32.8" but I can't compare to the ko because they aren't listed. I would guess that they would be the same on the spec sheet. But curious if anyone upgrading to the same side from Ko to Ko2 noticed any difference.

    Finally got KO2's on my Taco. I'm a KO junkie. Had a set on my Ranger that lasted forever. Have a set on the girlfriends Wrangler. Huge improvement on ride quality and road feel over any other tire I've tried. They are not cheap but they last and the off-road traction is superb.

    You're talking about 10ths of an inch here. You'd never be able to tell visually on way or the other

    Anyone go from these in a C load to an E load? How noticeable is the difference?

    Perfect. Looking forward to hearing the comparison.

    Awesome. Good to hear. Thank you.

    I'm considering buying some of these in 265/75R16. That size is supposed to fit without any rubbing at all on a stock suspension 2nd gen 4wd DC. But I've heard reports that the KO2's specifically will rub even at that size. Does anyone have experience with this and can say for sure whether they will rub?

    And another question. The toyota dealer is doing it's buy 3, get the 4th for a buck promotion. I priced buying these at the dealer and it'll be about $900 with installation and a front end alignment. It'll be about $800 installed with no alignment if I buy them online and have them installed at the local tire shop. What is everyone's experience with buying tires at the dealer? Do they handle the alignment/installation well? Will they sell/install non-standard size tires on my Tacoma? (Standard tires for my 2012 SR5 is 245/75R16)

    They will rub, but only on plastic and only at full lock with heavy compression.

    No regrets getting this size on 100% stock suspension.

    I'm ok with that. I went with it. Went into my dealer earlier today because I was impatient and talked with them about it. They said they would indeed sell and install that size on my Tacoma. They didn't have them in stock today but will order them and do the install/alignment next week with my already scheduled oil change. (They're also going to check out the belt squealing I've been getting on a cold engine start for some reason).

    After the dust settles I'm going to remove the stock mud flaps and replace them with RokBlokz flaps. I'm actually super excited since these are the first major upgrades I've made to the truck in five years. Next month I think I'm going to order and install the OEM roof rack as well. Truck is paid off and it feels good to finally spend money on toys for the truck instead of the truck itself.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Mine don't rub at full lock, but I am leveled out at about 1.25" over stock. Love the look over the original KO though!

    I was happy with them the past 2 winters here in New England:notsure:

    They are about as good as you can get before going to a full blown snow tire.

    hahaha but imagine if it was a rating? People seem to think it is a shitty snow tire....Tire rack rates it higher then pretty much all the other ATs. I am running LTX 2 M/S. Looking to make a change. Was looking at these.

    well if it can survive that.......
