Thanks for that! I will have my dealer recalibrate when they install it.

Thanks for the info. That is very helpful since i was going back and forth on what tires to get. I am getting them buy 3 get 1 for $1 from my jeep dealer. That special runs to the end of this month.

That’s how I got mine as well. It was the best deal out there by a long shot.

Get whichever one is cheaper. You won’t feel as bad when going to 37s in 6 months and regretting your decision to buy 35s in the first place.

I seriously considered 37's but in reality, i just don't need them. I'm not a rock crawler. More into trails and overlanding.

I’ll check back with you in 6 months ? ??

I love my tires. They're NITTOs, but you get the idea.

Looks good. 11.5 or 12.5 wide?

11.5

Thanks.

I should have read the replies before asking. Shame!

Has tread width been covered here yet? Toyo doesn't list it in the specs on their website. Just because the cross-section is 1.3 inches wider on the 315s doesn't mean the tread width is very different....

I wanted the Toyo 35x11.5s when putting 35s on my Mojave but they just weren't available, I have yet to hear a bad thing about them from ppl using them. I was a big skinny tire fan especially when in a Tacoma.

As for the BFG talk in here meh... I always said I never wanted any BFG tire yet now I find myself driving on KO2's because they came on my new Rubicon XR. In only 3000km on some snow, I can say I won't be getting another set once these are worn.

Anyway, does anybody here have specs on tread width?

Have owned quite a few sets of KO2s, albeit they were all 32s or 33s. 2 months on the Toyos, and at least for me - I'd take the Toyos all day everyday. I just find them so much more comfortable and quiet. For the light off road stuff I do, I'm not lacking for anything.

As for tread width, the specs are on the website:

Toyo Open Country A/T III 35x11.5x17 (what I went to) = 9"
Toyo Open Country A/T III 35x12.5x17 = 9.8"
BFG KO2 315/70R17 = 9.9"
BFG KM3 285/70R17 (OEM I switched from) = 9.5"

Im getting my Toyo AT III installed Tuesday and am hitting the trails next saturday. I am excited to try them out.

I pulled these tread widths from Tire Rack as I was doing my research on the Toyo Open Country A/T III:

LT315/70R17 D = 10" (66 lbs)
35x11.5R17 C = 9" (61 lbs)
35x12.5R17 C = 9.8" (59 lbs)

I'm not exactly sure how the 12.5s come in 2 lbs lighter than the 11.5s...it's gotta be a typo, although the 12.5s also only have a max PSI of 35.

In fact I went to Toyos site. The 35x11.5R17 C is actually 63lbs not 61lbs on thier site.

Also 35x12.5R17 C Load but the Load index is 111 VS the 11.5" at 118 which makes the 12.5 lighter even though it's wider. A dream tire would be 37x11.5R17 with the same 111 load index for me.

Temping to do the Toyo 35x12.5. Just don't like it more then the BFG K02. I like the side wall better on the K02 and the 37x12.5x17 come in at right under 65lbs.
