mounted 265 70 r18 KO3s today.

Went with 265 for mpg, p300 power and no trimming.

i do have minor rubbing at full lock in access and normal height in the front.

went with KO3s because they were cheaper than Toyo AT3s.. Toyos are much lighter.

Can’t wait to get her off-road and in some snow.

Not much difference to the 19's, pretty much like a bus 🤣 it's never gunna be a sports car. There's a bit more tyre noise and less road noise so equalled out to same road noise really

Look great. I’m holding out for the lighter D-rated in that size in 2026.

How are you liking the KO3s? Is the wet grip performance noticeably better than the KO2? Will probably swap out my Falken Wildpeaks for the KO3 when they offer the OEM size later in the year. Can't decide if I swap my OEM 19" back on since they will offer the KO3 in the OEM 19" size or keep my 20" wheels from an LR4, where I'm currently running LT265/60R20.
