Tires!

I have an 07 Tacoma, Access Cab, with the TRD Off Road package. As you all know, stock tires are 265/70/16's on BFG Trails.

I upgraded 5 years ago to the KO's tires by BFG. They have lasted over 80k miles, and I'm now at the 4/32's mark. So yes, it's time for new shoes.

I don't do any off roading, and my truck is a daily driver.

I'm on the fence between the KO2's and the Duratracs. Duratracs are lighter (~44lbs each). KO2's weigh about 51lbs each. My current KO's weigh 49lbs each. The stock BFG Trails weighed 38lbs.

I do miss how quicker off-the-line my truck used to be with the BFG Trails, but the look and off road capability of the KO's are a total plus.

The sucky part of the Duratracs is that they don't come with the raised white letters.

I have read countless threads about the KO2's, and am thinking of just going with it and making the purchase.

Will the increase weight per tire of the KO2's be that much noticeable?

 

Don't go with such an aggressive all terrain if you never offroad. It's a waste of cash and pretty pointless. Just go with the BFG Rugged Trails and save your mula.

 

Yes, you'll have worse fuel economy and slower performance with a heavier tire, particularly if you go up in size from 265/70/16 (like to 265/75/16 for example).

If you don't offroad, then the offroad capability means absolutely nothing.

If you're buying on looks, get whatever you want. If not, get something with better driveability and lighter weight.

 

You don'd do any off roading as you say, so why is the off road capability a consideration of yours?

If it's just for looks then get whatever, but you will notice a heavier tire.

 

I don't do any offroading so I use the Michelin Defender 4 ply 265/75/16, they are great and quiet.
