Hi folks, my name is Bill and I’m a proud owner of a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-road Premium (Black). My build date was 12/2023. I took delivery of my truck on 2/16/24.
I’ll be posting updates of mods on this thread.
Here are a few mods so far -
Tires: 285/70/R17 BFG KO3 Load range: C
(Thanks to the guys @Discount Tire)
Wheels: Method 703 17x8.5 35mm offset
Tint: 30% All around (FormulaOne Stratos) | 90% front windshield (Llumar Air clear)

- The new KO3s are fantastic. The truck feels much more planted over the stock tires.
- Steering - IMO the steering was too light with the stock tires. Personal preference but the steering feels much more assertive and positive with the KO3s + increased tire size/weight.
- Road noise - The increase in road noise is negligible.
- Ride quality - I was expecting the ride quality to suffer with bigger/heavier tires, but I actually observed the opposite. The ride quality is improved perhaps because of the higher silica content in the KO3s.
- No rubbing.
- KO3s are ~6 lbs heavier than KO2s in the same Load Range C (56 lbs vs 50.33 lbs)
- KO3s should have improved wet road performance due to new sipe pattern/depth (In theory)
- KO3s should have improved cold weather performance (likely due to more silica content so they remain pliable in cold temps) (In theory)
Wheels: Method 703 17x8.5 35mm offset
- With 35mm offset, I measured 1/2” of poke (See photos).
Tint: 30% All around (FormulaOne Stratos) | 90% front windshield (Llumar Air clear)
