Ok I actually think it’s +20 which surprises me given how little poke I see on OP’s setup. @Snickers i think has more poke on a 285 KO3.

So this is the *exact* tire I want to put on my stock Trailhunter wheels - thank you so much for posting. You look super close to the crash pad. I’m surprised. Do you think it’ll rub? Keep us posted please.

Can you show a front or back view to show the level of “poke” given the slight wider tire?

These tires weigh 63.9 pounds sadly because there’s no C load option. How is power and braking affected?

How is road comfort? Are they super stiff over bumps? How do they compare in this regard to stock? How about road noise and other handling characteristics?

Do you notice the added ground clearance ?

Why keep the old crappy tires ?

Keep us posted. Any rub or wear should be limited to the crash pad felt, which seems fine

It looks great! What throws me off is some trucks running 285/70 with +25 appear to have more clearance at full lock on stock suspension and others are super close.

@Snickers made some small calibrations with 285/75 - maybe it’s camber or other front end suspension settings

Looks great, keep us posted on any rubbing issues. It does look close to that crash pad and when your aired down its a little softer.

Love it, I'm considering these as well. Didn't expect them to get that close to rubbing though, looks about as close as the 35s this dude on youtube put



I'm definitely in between the ko3s or just going for 35s. I'm glad discount tire matched Walmart, I had seen the walmart ones but very unsure about the white letters lol, did they give you any shit about not being an exact match?

Also, let us know what mud flaps you go with, the stock ones are indeed shit and my back fenders are getting all scratched up.

Not at all. The online agent just asked for a link and wrote up a quote matching WM. I then took the quote to the store and said I’d like to order these. Was quick and easy.

I also think that his is rubbing a bit more b/c he put M/T's on there and the tread is much taller.

FWIW I'm swapping in the trailhunter wheels on my currently stock TRD off-road. I wanted to go with the BFGR KO3s, but Tire Rack guy said they'd rub, and suggested the KO2s 265/65 18. I'll post some pics when installed.

They don't rub enough to really be noticeable. If anything they just hit the felt. (See original post for update!)
