You know what guys? I test drove a Ranger Raptor - which is on KO3s from the factory. Tires seemed fine to me now that I think about it. The ride was smooth - but they are C loads and the suspension on the raptor is very soft so not sure if that made it smoother. But it’s a good data point.
For me tires are a big deal. Maybe the biggest thing you can do to a vehicle aside from major engine or tune stuff. I wish I could test drive 5 tires on a stock Tacoma. I’d be done in an hour.
I give zero fucks about being cool - just want the best tire for me and it’s nearly impossible to sort that out until you try them on your truck. Thinking about Nokians which are the least cool tire possible.
What’s so weird to me is people say the KO3 rides like trash. And then people say the same about the Falken. Then other people say the opposite. It’s probably a variety of factors including suspension and manufacturing variables .. but fuck if I cannot get a consistent trend on which tire is...
Confirmed. Because of 2 things. The stock wranglers are made of paper and run small/ shrink from the weight of the truck (I already have a leak on one tire). These KO3s and Falkens are more true to size. Second, an inch is actually quite a lot when it comes to diameter. @Lets_Taco_Bout_It...
