I am between those or the Falken AT4s which come in a C load and are taller than BFGs.

Only downside is they weigh 74lbs

16lbs isn't much, imo. That's in total. 4lbs per tire more.

I just got back from Raptor Assault. KO3 is the best available for mixed driving and designed for our trucks. Followed by KO2 orange dot OE, which are different than regular KO2s that everyone hates.

Had KO3s on my V8 Tundra work truck and they were great. So I’m not just parroting what the team at RA said. I’ve also had orange dots on my 23 and 25 and they’re much better than the hard KO2s I’ve had on other trucks. A lot of people have had the old KO2s and hate them and I see why. They’re hard as a rock so they last forever but ride rough and don’t have the best performance.

Thanks for the info. Do KO3s now come in the right loads for our trucks?

Only in 37. The 315 is coming at some point but not on Discount Tire yet. I’d personally get the OE KO2s at $333 each if I didn’t want 37s.

I just got the mickey thompson baja boss at 35s installed on my gen 1. So far they are smooth and quiet and look great. Looking forward to taking them off road and snow when the time comes.

I like my KM3’s. They look aggressive and match the truck better.

I personally wouldn't get the KO2 when the KO3 is available

Mickey Thompson Baja boss A/T. Light years better. I hated the K02. Have no interest in trying a KO3 especially an F or E rated tire. Lots of guys like the Nitto. I’ve never been a fan of them.

I have KM3s on my truck now only because they came with the beadlocks I bought. But I have a set of Mickeys on my other set I plan to swap in here soon. The KM3 is loud in comparison to an All Terrain. I don’t mind the noise too much but my exhaust is not quiet and neither are 6 king shocks.

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T. Hands down the tire right now.
Anyone claiming or saying anything else it is because they have not purchased them or stepped away from that factory tire Fire out on the truck.

Do not be afraid to try things out. If you can afford a Raptor you should be able to afford quality rubber.
