315/70/17 vs. 35/12.50/17 KO'2s

[Toyfrog]

315/70/17 KO2, load range C on 17x8.5 Method 703’s with zero offset. Only added about 3 pounds to each corner over stock Mojave wheels and the AT’s that came on it.

Wow, that's a great look! Are the Method's lighter than the factory alloys? They look great with the grey.

Saw a Mojave with 38's behind me coming out of the Farmer's market this AM (either that or a Mojave hood), kinda wondered at changing out the suspension to run bigger tires. Definitely had a lift of some kind.

I’m not really sure what the weight of the factory wheels were, but I’m pretty sure that the Methods are lighter as it only added a few pounds to each corner after adding them and the bigger tires.

I just put on 35 12.5/17 KO2's and they are 34.1 with 38 lbs of air. It's close I guess. The specs said 34.5

Did you measure on the truck or off?

S0 going with E the 35/12.50/17 would be the way to go.

315/70/17 C Rated is the factory tire on the 6,000 lbs+ Raptor.

E are not necessary on the 5,000 lbs Gladiator.

I love my KO2s and have had them and the original KOs for years.

I don't get the, they suck in the snow comments, they are well reviewed and have a 3PMSF rating, which means they have been tested for "severe snow rated service."

They will never be as good as a dedicated snow tire, but they are still good.
