I have just changed tyres after 70000km on my 2013 VX Prado and these are great. Much cheaper than the KO2 and not as aggressive thou still capable. Has any others chosen this tyre?

Gearing change is negligible, I haven't noticed it since changing. Might be an extra 100-200rpm @ 100kmh.
Speedo is now bang on correct, whereas it used to be 105kmh on the speedo meant I was doing 100kmh<Rob> '12 Prado GX - https://www.pradopoint.com.au/forum/general/my-rig-build-up/32702-i-m-back-with-a-2012-150-gx-toorak-tractor

Wow, that is quite a large difference in tyre size. can I ask a few questions, as I am looking at this myself, but not so large. live in SA so rules are different - calculations below
How does it drive?
Any touching of body during articulation and turning-
front?
rear?
Gearing and low range -
noticeable difference?
What rims are you running-
Width?
offset?
thanks in advance

Only scrubbing at the moment is the fronts on the mudguards - minor scrubbing when at full lock - which I'll be able to fix quite easily.
Gearing haven't noticed any real difference - haven't run them in low range yet
17x8 rims on a 0 offset
Fuel increase is minimal - everyone forgets to correct their calculations for the increase in travel per rotation so they think they're using a fair bit more fuel, when in reality they're not. I.e. whatever your odometer says you've actually travelled 6.7% further.<Rob> '12 Prado GX - https://www.pradopoint.com.au/forum/general/my-rig-build-up/32702-i-m-back-with-a-2012-150-gx-toorak-tractor

6.7% increase in circumference isn't a huge difference. It's a common tyre to run on the 150. Jump on the Aussie 4WD Prado 150 Facebook page and HEAPS of people are running them.
