    I have the KO2 on my 20" 20213 Tundra. On my second set and no balance issue, perhaps a bit noisy? It rides ok I guess.

    On my 2021 I have the Micheline LTX A/T 2 (275/65/18) and I absolutely LOVE them, smooth as butter and no noise. This is a CrewMax TRD Off Road and I don't think is lifted?

    I have some spare 20" rims for the 2021 and I wanted to move to more aggressive looking tire that will perform well with my super charger but also smooth and nice ride like the Michelines. Not sure if the KO2's are the right candidate? Perhaps the KO3"s?

    Do you guys have any suggestions for these requirements? And I would like to go with the biggest tire this 20" and truck will allow, and of course without sacrificing my requirements :)

    If you are mainly street, I would look at michelin defenders. It is a better tire than the at2 all over so if you like the at2 you will like these. Wet, dry, snow, sand, dirt, all but mud they will handle.

    If you want an AT tire, check out Nokian. Their current tire is the Outpost nAT. They ride amazing compared to many other AT tires and are on the light side so not as much a hit on acceleration and MPG. Great mileage warranty, great wet and dry traction, easy balance and quiet for the design.

    Ive run a bunch of brand name and off brand tires on 4wds over the years (bfg, cooper, bridgestone, Falken, and others) and those two tires have been the best.

    Thanks much. Very interesting find and great reviews. I may just go for these. I think I am going to put 275 /60 R20 on my truck on the spare 20" rims I have. This should work according to this https://www.tundras.com/threads/official-tundra-wheel-and-tire-setups-pics-and-info.95/

    And I will be one inch taller :)

    20" OEM wheels? Those tires will fit fine, where people have issues is when you change the offset, that will get you into rubbing issues.

    That tire size is good, decent number of SL rated tires which will ride and handle better.

    I just put 275/60/20 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T on my truck. Slight rub when full turn. Which will be easy to fix. I couldn’t be any happier with my choice.
