20" Tsportline Lightweight Wheels + KO2 Tires Less Efficient by 11% (vs. Stock)

I attribute my Airstream being towed for over 200k as proof positive on Centramatics...
Edit: A freaking awesome 200k. From Meat Cove Nova Scotia, Arctic Ocean in AK, Baja, and the Keys...

Wow, that is awesome. Been as far as Happy Valley/Goose bay Newfoundland with my Honda Ridgeline a few New Years eve's ago. No camper, way too cold.

I might have went with the white letters facing out ?

I don’t think that the K03s have the white letters, unfortunately.

On the last set of BFGs I had, the white letters were on one side and all black on the other. So, it just mattered which side you mounted as the outward-facing side.

The OP says is 11% less efficient, I ask could be tire vs. wheel, and you say there's no difference. So why don't you just respond / tell the OP that he is wrong, because you looked at the tires and said they have the same stats so no difference...

I beat around the idea of a aftermarket set up. It is situations like this that make me not. Seems like the designs are purely aesthetic, and no testing(not just weight and strength). The T sportline ones were available the day after the truck was in early delivery. So a more thought out setup will be around later in my mind.

Ordered the half baked snow tire setup from Tesla. Will let everyone figure out the tires for the next year or so before I dive in.

Will likely go with the K03's on stock rim. 285/65 R20 Gave up on the idea of 18's vs. 20.

My Suburban has the giant sidewall K02's and the small rims (forget size and is being used by a friend). Better off road with giant sidewall, but always a little too much give in the corners because of the high sidewall. Compound that with 7 inch lift. It is like riding a king sized bed with a feather bed on top.

Do k02 have bigger sidewall than k03? How similar are the two?

Replaced the stock AT at 24,454 with BFGoodrich KO3 and have zero regrets with them. The stock AT tires were horrible in rain, the smallest amount of standing water would have the truck hydroplaning like it was a boat. Recently drove the KO3 in some heavy rain with some decent standing water. The truck stuck to the road like the water wasn’t there. I would be careful with the stock AT in water.

Can confirm, they do not.

Absolutely, they are atrocious in the rain..
