Another tire thread... Ko2 vs....

[SweetTNFJ80]

Nice! They really do look great... IMO, perhaps one of the best looking for an 80. Beautiful rig, too. At your convenience, could you tell us the loaded height of the 295, since it's been reported at least the 315 runs a bit small?

I just went with the Toyo AT3 after things I read via page 3 of this thread, as upper-tier winter performance (within a studless AT tire) is my main concern. I'm sure the XLT would have been plenty for me, as I'm far from ripping around like Joe Bacal, but it gets real sloppy here.

Yes the 295/75/16 runs a bit small also looks like I’m around 32 5/8 loaded from ground to top. Need to measure on a better surface though. I’ll get back to you with a more precise measurement.

Toyo AT3 came today. Unweighted & unmounted height is perhaps about 34.4, listed at 34.6, so that’s a good sign. Mounting on Friday, will post then...

Had seen a question about siping on these elsewhere. Long story short, they are full depth, but aren’t cut all the way down to the outer edges of the blocks. I assume that’s to keep the blocks more stabile as a whole, while still offering siping through the life of the tire.

I just got these on my 7.3l diesel a couple months ago. (35x12.5 r17) Amazing tires. The KO2s are good as well but I think these AT3s from Toyo are top tier.

~34” tall, mounted

Two balanced well, two needed moderate help. Can’t really claim the difference as they replaced 8 y/o worn duratracs, but so far very smooth, quiet to the point that I’m reminded I need a DC front shaft, nice handling and a slightly more damp ride.. but again, compared to those old duracraps

For some reason they almost “look” like I sized down, but measure slightly bigger to the Goodyears
