    I recently switched from Toyo Open Country AT3's (265/70/16 SL) to BFG K03's (265/70/16 D). I think they're around 55lbs? The weight increase was very noticeable at first. MPG, acceleration and stopping performance all took a hit. However, I do like them. I've put 2700 miles on them and a chunk of that was driving to Vegas from Phoenix and back (about 10 hours). They're very smooth and quiet for an all terrain in comparison to the Toyo AT3's which howled after 15k.

    If C rated was an option I would have bought those for the weight savings. I'm curious to see how they do after 15k-20k miles.

    Very disappointing, looks like there won't be any 33" tall, 15" wheel BFG AT at all pretty soon.

    I don’t understand how you people live with only one set of shoes.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Finally is the KO2 dead? Good riddance

    I ran the AT3s on the Gladiator, lost a tire on the first off road trip. Wasn't impressed with the AT3s otherwise either compared to the KO2s, as you mention the AT3s were far louder. Certainly wouldn't buy AT3s again while I'm onto my 7th? set of KO2s.

    I feel like my AT3s have been pretty quiet - LT255/80/17 :notsure:

    They're over 3 years old now too, maybe around 40k miles
