    Close to 4 seems to be the consensus. Better ride and moves the wheel forward in the wheel well a bit to help with minor rubbing.
    I have 4.2/4.0 on mine have had no complaints

    Next question about the KO2s is how are they in rain. We get lots of it here and my summer tires I run now I get real bad under steer.

    So far I have not had any issues in rain and here in CO, I don't get to test lot of water on road for hydroplaning. I'm also on the slower side of driver on highways so I might have to test the limits of it. This was my daily driver (before started work from home) and also our touring vehicle so I selected KO2s on this.
    I have limited experience comparing KO2 with non LT Falken Wildpeaks which my wife drives I haven't felt any difference in rain and snow other than Wildpeaks feel more soft & comfortable on road.
