That being said, I have had to put the spare on and ran it for 250 miles before I was able to get the normal tire patched and put back on. I noticed absolutely no difference. I went through some pretty tough off-road terrain, windy mountain roads, and freeways at 70+ mph. Absolutely fine.

It is the wheel. It's lighter. If I get a 265 C load ko2 it will be equal in weight but not as durable. Trade offs, I guess but still better than an oem tire.
I think that's the direction I will go.
