Little one-month update: I happened to park next to a stock Sasquatch the other day, so I compared the mirror heights side by side. Mine actually sat just a hair higher, so I’m pretty convinced the 35x11.5 KO3s aren’t actually making the truck look smaller because of height. It’s mostly just the...
Yeah, avoiding E load was definitely part of the appeal for me too. So far they feel great on the street. Haven’t had them on the rocks yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing how they do aired down.🙌
I think I kinda figured it out... the KO3 sidewall is flatter, while the stock Goodyear had more of that rounded, fat sidewall look. That’s probably why they seemed smaller at first. After a week though, I’m really liking them. Nothing else to complain about:wink:
Honestly, one thing I didn't mention is the brakes actually feel a bit better. Maybe it's just in my head, but the whole truck feels a little more composed day to day. I still need to get them out on a trail before I can say much about off-road performance.
Glad it helped! The Ridge Grappler was on my list too. I don’t think you can really go wrong with it. Looking forward to seeing some pics once you get them on!
My original plan was actually a 37x11.5, but I couldn’t find one with the snowflake rating, so I settled on the 35x11.5 to see what all the pizza cutter hype was about. Didn’t expect it to change the stance this much. You might’ve been right.
We had a huge fireworks event here last night, so I got plenty of stop-and-go driving. Even though the KO3s are heavier, the truck actually feels more responsive off the line and the steering feels more direct. I still expect to lose a little MPG from the extra weight, but maybe the narrower...
Yeah, the new tires are heavier, so any MPG gain from going narrower might just get cancelled out. Guess I’ll find out after a few tanks.
But my speedometer finally matches Google Maps exactly, which makes my OCD brain very happy lol. Thanks for the feedback!
Honestly, mostly because I kept hearing so many people rave about the “pizza cutter” setup. I’m definitely not a tire expert, just learning as I go like everyone else.
I also haven’t been very happy with my fuel economy or the steering feel, so I figured I’d give a narrower tire a try and see...
A while back I made a post asking whether a 35x11.5 would actually look smaller on a Sasquatch. Got a ton of replies and really appreciate everyone who took the time to share their experience. I couldn’t reply to everyone, but I read every single one.
Well… today I finally have my own answer...
Yeah, I think you’re right, it really does depend on the tire.
I actually put the 35x11.5 KO3s on today. Funny thing is, they don’t really look that much narrower to me, but somehow the whole tire just looks smaller on the truck. Maybe it’s because the stock Territory MT has a more aggressive...
