OEM Goodyears 315/70/R17 vs. KO2 35x12.5/R17

Thanks very much.

I've heard the KO2's aren't great in the rain (and assuming snow too, by default). Can you shed any extra light on this? We get a lot of rain here, and I will say the Goodyear's have been very good from that aspect.

I also have the TOR tailgate reinforcement bracket, so the added weight on the back doesn't concern me. Nice to hear that the sound and ride quality seem to have improved too! Thanks for your very helpful insights!

Can't speak for 35's but I've run my OEM KO2's for 2.5 years now, they're good in rain and snow.

I've driven at highway speeds (110kph) in fairly heavy rain and never once felt the vehicle was getting squirrely or anything. They're not a dedicated snow tire, but I haven't had any issues in the 3 winters I've driven in.
