I bought 35 inch K02s and after standing back and looking at them, I noticed they look tiny as hell compared to my old tires. I measured them out of curiosity and they are like 33.5" tires. Truck looks kind a sh*t with them, might go with something different because I want true 35s.

Not even sure this can be true w/o having an issue w/ your Speedo- seems odd I could see 1/2” difference but 1.5”? Easily enough to throw off speedo & possibly even mess w/ stability control etc

They all come w/ em from the factory- so all stock raptors look like sh*t w/ KO2’s?

i dont think many 35s are true 35s. My 35 coopers measure 33.5" installed too

I just threw on toyo open country at3s. So far so good for the 60 miles Ive put on them. Much quieter than my outgoing KO2s but I will admit those were load range E and came on the used truck (zero experience with the Cs). That said took them in all sorts of terrain and never had an issue except for rain and wet pavement. The toyos look more aggressive in my opinion, load range D so maybe straddling the C and E options, and are not to0 heavy like the falkens (a crowd favorite)

Those are good and about a true 35 . Though, heavy.

Theres an important distinction you are missing. The Oem is a 315 which is both lighter and yes smaller than a true “35” . Look to Nitto and Toyo in 35 12.50 r17 for that true 35. But there will be a weight penalty.
