I went ahead and filled out the email requesting it on their website. Figure if they get enough requests they may consider it. Heres to hoping

the falkens and toyos seem like great options but I always like to see more

they will have them given they are OEM tires on all the Raptors.

Yep, E rated 34x11 20” wheel tire, just what we need …

It will be interesting to see if they come with a C rated 37, 35 or 33 for 17s

Supposed to have the same carcass as the KM3, and an updated tread.

Tread looks like it will collect rocks like my Good Years.

As proud New Bronco owners, THIS is all we want in a Tire.

Look closer as it has stone ejectors

its just one size listed so far, I wouldnt worry about it, they will have their normal full range of sizes and hopefully a few more

 

[Raptor911]

Very normal as I bet some OEM is using this exact size as standard equipment. A tire manufacturer will produce a tire they know that it is demand now.

More sizes will follow and initially, they will all be oem tire sizes

......Look closer and you will see stone ejectors

Right into the $1200 windshield behind you.

LOL!

if you are concerned about the person behind you then run mud flaps.

It's an OEM tire, so that size has to be made available for replacement purchase.

lol, yeah. I'm the guy in the back though!

Also, when I hear ejectors I'm thinking more to the side.

@Discount Tire posted the following previously. Some people from the Duramax forums have already gotten their hands on the tires a few months ago.

As of right now the KO 3 will only be available in fitments for the Ford Ranger Raptor and The new Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

I heard a rumor that the KO 3 would be launched in other sizes by late spring/early summer, but honestly I don't think we will see them until late this year or early 2024.

I promise I will keep a close watch on them. When I know, you will know!

Duramax forum user had the following feedback after 1k miles:

• Noise is still just ok, not impressed or upset.
• Handling is good- tighter & more precise.
• Have had them re-balanced once due to light shaking/vibes. They had to put 5oz in one tire, right rear. Still light vibes at highway speed and I can watch my passenger seat shake a bit. Marginal improvement from the rebalance.
• Used to get 18.0-19.5mpg average on the DIC fairly consistently after fill-ups if it isn’t in regen. Averaging 17.3mpg after 163 miles on this tank. Seems like I’m losing about 1mpg to the KO2’s.
• Ride is firmer.
• Have had them in a good rain storm and didn’t die. Didn’t die with the KO2’s either. Have not had them off road or in snow. I’m sure they’re an improvement in all those areas, looking at the increased siping.
  
  They sure look great and I’d be surprised if they didn’t kick butt in the conditions mentioned above, but I’m not a big fan of them so far for on-road use. I tend to be overly picky, but don’t think I’ve got unrealistic expectations for them.

This has to be one of the most over-hyped product launches… I mean “look closely at the stone ejectors”? Really? Ya they look nearly identical to the KO2s. Just go buy the KO2s, save the money and time waiting for actual sizes. Personally, I don’t see the appeal.
