I am getting a 2022 4Runner ORP with KDSS and the TRD Wheels. I went to BFGoodrich's website to do a deep-dive on the KO's specs as that was the tire I was intending to get. Interestingly, if you shop by vehicle, BFGoodrich does not formally recommend the KO2 for the 4runner (regardless of trim) even though they have tires that fit. Odd.
I checked out other tire brands and came across the Toyo Open Country AT3's. Toyo at least provides the tire as one they'd recommend for a 4runner.
After comparing the weights of some of the most popular all-terrain tires, the Toyo kills the competition. For reference, the KO2's are 45 lbs. It's definitely one of the heaviest A/T tires you can buy, but still not too far off from the competition like Nitto. The Toyo Open Country AT3 is 39 lbs! That's a big difference in weight when not factoring wheels. And the tires have the same diameter after inflation of 31.7.
I am thinking these Toyo's will be the tires I go with 100%. They also have a higher speed and load rating.
What's everyone's thoughts? Skeptical? If all the dimensions are the same and there is a big difference in weight, do we think then that there is some compromise in quality/durability? Or perhaps this big weight difference is much ado about nothing?
