Tirerack shows the stock tires to be 42 lbs and the KO2s to be 46lbs. I did see Amazon shows 35.5 pounds for the stocks so not sure which is correct.

The TRD Pro 17 wheels I have on show that they are 25lbs which seem to the the same weight or maybe a tad less than the stock OR wheels.

There are 2 different Kevlars.
The OEM tire is the lighter of the two and made in Canada.
The other is heavier and made in the US.

So about 10 lbs over.
Higher moment of inertia is a thing.

Gotcha makes sense. I do think I can feel the extra wait.

I’m going to take it back tomorrow or Tuesday to see if they can check the balancing again.

It could be I’m just being hypersensitive but I don’t remember it feelings like this when they were put on. Guess time will tell.

Also I think there’s isn’t much of a weight difference with my set up. I think the KO2s are only 3 or 4 pounds heavier per tire and I believe the wheels are the same weight as the stock ones. I could be wrong but that’s what I read on the research before getting them. Maybe 4 pounds per tire more is a lot?

I wish I knew someone else with a Tacoma around here I could compare with to make sure I’m not just being dumb in my own head.

I have the exact same setup on my ‘18 and going from stocker tires to the bfg do add some vibration or graininess at low speed for me. I can feel it in the steering wheel as well. I got used to it over time and I’ve felt it from 32psi all the way to 40. I got used to it overtime and I figured out no harm no foul as long as I keep up the rotations.
