Are KO2s also narrow?

Pretty straight forward question… it’s been well documented that KO2s have a smaller diameter than most other similarly-specced tires, but are they also more narrow? If so, by how much? Thanks in advance.

You can look at the specs for the size you are interested in and compare with other brands. Check tread width.

Specs aren’t reliable. According to specs, there’s not a real difference between KO2 diameter and other tires, but real world measurements show that not to be the case. Plus, it virtually impossible for me to find even manufacturer-stated width specs outside of the standard tire sizing. Thus the reason for this post.

When I was tire shopping I remember seeing specs that showed they were narrower. I think I was looking at Tire Rack, Discount Tire, Belle Tire, BFGs site...

Are you looking for a narrow tire or to avoid a narrow tire?

I went with the 35" Toyo ATIIIs because they were narrower than many other 35s and would be a better fit than most with the stock wheels.

I'd prefer not sizing all the way down to an official 11.5" width, but I'd be happy with a narrow 12.5". Yeah, I know I'm being kind of picky here. We'll just have to see...
