    Gearing up to make the move to 35s. I was planning on going BFG KO2 35x12.5R17, mainly because my last three sets have been BFG A/Ts. And this being my daily, I don't plan on going with an aggressive tire lug pattern. As much as I'd love the look of something aggressive, it would be overkill for 75% of my driving. Looking for anybody running 35s. What tires are you liking? Recommendations? Are some tires rubbing more than others? Do the larger tires wear any faster? Hows the daily driving on them?

    I’m eyeing up a 35” build as well.....the C-load KO2s are at the top of the list. They aren’t any lighter than the E-load but should feel softer. They’re not my favorite tire in the world, but they come in C-load thanks to the Ford Raptor. If the Cooper ST Maxx came in a 35” size I’d probably stick with it but you can’t win all the time.

    I’d say in general 35s on a DD is overkill so don’t worry about it too much. Pick a C or D load tire you can live with price-wise and pull the trigger.

    Interested to see what others think

    Whatever you get, avoid the Kumho Road Venture ATs. The wet traction sucks. I dislike mine (315/70/17) My truck feels like its on skates when it rains.

    BFG AT KO2 isn't a bad choice. Stick with what works for you.
