KO2 Tires (285/70/17) installed on SR5

[Jomckinley]

The KO2 is a great tire. I have them on my 2019 Wrangler. I did a similar upgrade to my Wrangler when I got it. Have done 20k miles on the Wrangler and love the KO2. Not too noisy but really strong in just about all conditions. I have had it off road on trails, in deep snow as well as regular highway miles and it has done a great job. I really don't know why Toyota (and Jeep for that matter) don't offer a similar tyre upgrade. They could charge $1000-$1500 and they would get a huge uptake and it would be almost all profit. For Jeep it's the standard tire on the Rubicon so they know it works.

This is exactly what I would do if I get the 4Runner 6th Gen. which I'm seriously considering.

I agree. I had a 2020 Wrangler before this 4Runner. I did the same with my Jeep tires.
It makes all the difference in all areas, off road, looks, and snow.

Just curious why you got the KO2 rather than the newer KO3

I had KO2's on my Jeep so I just stuck with it. I'm not even sure the difference, just that I know this tire.

Looks great!!
Can you tell me what is the wheel offset.

 

[Jomckinley]

They are stock 17" rims so not sure if there's an offset on them.

For the speedometer, you can compare it to what your gps/navigation is saying - I checked on numerous occasions and at 60mph my gps (Waze navigation) always says 58. I also have a speed app on my phone which is saying the same.

For mpg I reset my trip miles after filling up, then after about 100 miles I refilled the tank and divided the gallons it took to fill back up by the miles I just drove to get my mpg - when I did that I got 22mpg vs 20mpg on the car mpg reading. It also made sense because I was getting 22mpg on the car mpg reading before the new tires (I assume the new tires reduced the mpg a bit, but seems like not a lot).

I tested it today and the app said 60mph and my speedometer said 58, so 2mph off.
Not sure about MPG yet

wondering how noisy the K02 are on the highway? I was thinking about installing Bridgestone Duelers this week but I love the way yours came out

For me, it's not noisy, not anymore than the og tires that were on there.
I had a Rubicon and it is was very noisy so as to compare, way better than the Rubicon.

OK, thanks, I was watching some reviews on tire rack trying to make some decisions. Thank you for your help.

Looks great! I am wondering if have an issue with KO2 vibrating after 60 miles of speed? I have installed and balanced KO2 on mine, unfortunately it caused vibration after reaching 60 miles of speed

 

[Jomckinley]

It has not caused vibration for me. At least not yet. And I've driven 80mph; I kind of have a lead foot.
