aight gaybois....speak now or forever hold your peace.
I'm goin w/ the BFGoody Rich KO2s on the Tundra. Gone level her out too...pigs below. Costco got the tires I want, on sale, and we got a $500 digital costco gift card we can use. Seems like I'm stealing.
Are there any similar tires that are worth checking out, knowing the deal I'm getting? My tires have gotten slippery on the road when it's wet, so I'm due and out of warranty, so wanted to get a little bit bigger set w/ more grip to help me haul out them big bucks. nomsayin?
Here's what I'm trying to do...dude on Reddit already did it. Only difference is my truck is not silver.
Before 3/2 level, with tires:
After 3/2 level:

yours will have lower profile sidewalls than those.
305 is the tire width in mm. 55 is the percent of the tire width that the sidewalls (combined) are.
so, (305mm x .55) divided by 2, and that's the height of the sidewall.

why the hayull they come up w/ that?
Oct 21, 2022, 4:43 PM
|

so the height of the tire is (305mm * 0.55 *25.4 mm / in ) + 20" ?
Looks like I need to do some more googling, b/c I don't have the same rims as he does.

They worked well. Was going to buy a leveling kit for it too but glad I didn't because I bought 3 cars for myself in the subsequent 5 years.

stepping in that will not be good for your back.
Seriously though, I have no idea why people do this unless off roading is in their future.

I have been sploring some new terrain now that I got me a bow. Got in a tricky spot already and really thought, man it'd be nice if I had some tires w/ a little more grip.
Plus I need new tires, so figured why not.

if you can, I suggest you can get the little plastic tires like you find on a cheap push mower. Those things NEVER go flat.

man.
JK, buy some fugging tires and realize not many people actually notice what tires you have on your truck. 100% of women who might sleep with you care about your tire size or how much grip you got in the mud (lulz).
Those trucks look the same, except maybe one is 3" higher than the other. Cool.

I want a slightly larger tire, with more grip but I don't want a ridiculous looking, overly jacked up truck. so you looking at it and not noticing the difference makes me feel better, cuz that's what I'm after homie.

K02 is the easy choice. Put those on my 2017 Sierra plus leveling kit. Rubs a little but low road noise and good tread wear so far. Looks cool but respectable enough to pull up at the corporate office in your mid 30s.

Been running KO2 Load Range E for 90K miles through some of the roughest chid in the Rockies the past two summers and they are tough. No worries about sidewall damage. That said, they are heavy tires and will likely cut into mpg. But if you are in the boonies they provide a level of security that's hard to beat. I got 60K mile from first set on my Tacoma and still had 15K left. Toyota has a buy three get one for a dolla but you sound like you got it covered.
