Very interesting, thank you. Distributor sites have now changed 265/70/17 load C availability to August 2025, don't show D as an option and BFG never offered a D load in that size for KO2s.

I guess we will have to wait and see. That is going to change my plans as I am going to replace my KO2s before this winter and was planning on giving KO3s a try.

In the absence of K03 availability I am down to a short list of the Mickey's and Toyo ATIII.

I popped a Toyo RT Trail E-load after I got them installed a couple months before, wasn't even that crazy of an obstacle either. I've ran KO2s, ridge grapplers, milestar patagonias, and Mickey Boss ATs... and this was the first time ever experiencing a puncture. Pretty disappointing to say the least. Safe to say I went back to Discount and bought the certificates after that puncture.

I loved them new and they've treated us well in every aspect, including water. I'll probably replace them with the KO3s.
I also had the same size KO2’s as you and mine started getting loud at 20K miles . I never had any trouble with them in wet weather like some people have .

That's about where I am at, 23K and getting louder over the past couple thousand. Mine are almost 6 years old though too so hardening in the compound is a likely contributor as well.

K02's on wet streets
I have K02's and love them on the dirt but I have posted before my 4R rear slides a bit going around a corner even at slow speeds. I'll be looking for an alternative. I know many say they don't have this issue, a few have experienced it though.

I am a KO2 diehard as well, although the new KO3s look enticing as others have noted

"around corners"; when on wet roads?

I’m one of those that has never had problems with KOs or KO2s. So I’m curious, how old were your tires, tread life and what was the temperature when this first started sliding? I had Terra Grapplers that slid on me. They were 50% worn and the temp was in the low 60’s. Don’t know how old they were since they came with the 4Runner. My guess is that the rubber got harder and that was the primary culprit. Just my theory though.

Talking yokohama Geolandar AT's
The OEM tires on my 4 runner were total trash garbage. Replaced them with 3 s peak snow rated tires since I live in snowy area. Yokohama Geolandar AT's are affordable and awesome! Japanese truck needs Japanese tires
