Same here. Running Wildpeak 255/60 19 and can't wait for those K03 tires...

I'm in the same vein of thinking, been considering the 18" conversion but my vehicle is still under a year old. Might consider the 19" rim route with the KO3 which is a partial compromise in the right direction (and wouldn't compromise my warranty) Because, 20" rims off road are just a nail biter in lava rock... or any rock for that matter. A half inch gain isn't much... it's a vast improvement when combined with KO3's multi-ply construction. Hopefully the KO3's will be available in a HD variant in that size.

275/60r20 P400 D90. I don't touch access mode as I have no use for it.

No rub at full lock. Haven't taken it off road yet but I'll always use off road height for it anyway.

Nice look.
I have been trying to patiently wait for the new size 275/55R20 KO3 release. The tire dealer says they won't release this size until remaining stock of KO2's in this size are sold. And there are still thousands in stock.
So, does anyone know if the currently available 295/55R20 KO3 mounted on stock 5098 20" wheels will clear on a 110x

FWIW the stock sized 255/60r20 KO3 will be released in a month or two. Same diameter, just a bit narrower

They are only going to be available as an LT tire in all of the OEM LR sizes, which is a 6 ply or higher.

True, but they will offer both E and D rated tires in some sizes. 265/70R18 came out last year as an E rated tire. The D rated version is due in 2026. I’m keeping an eye on that one, hoping it’s a little lighter than the E version available now.
