BFG KO's are an offroad oriented tire. If you're worried about wet weather performance and general on road performance only, they are not the tires for you. But in my experience, Nitto's weren't that great, either. Mich AT and Bridgestone REVO's were much better.
KO's do trump all the other tires mentioned offroad, though.

On a daily driver in Colorado you have to consider wet weather performance but I think Nittos offer a good compromise between streetability and off road performance which I never had any issues over 4 years with hitting intermediate trails and mild rock crawling. I thought my Nittos filled the niche between BFGs and a set of Revos or Michelins nicely.
I'm actually giving the new GY Duratracs a try since I wanted something new and they didn't kill my wallet too much.

there is absolutely no reason for anyone with a tacoma to get an E rated tire - thats completly insane. E rated tires would be for a trailer, or a heavy van or dually. C rated is all you need, even D rated is overkill but sometimes its all you can get. No, you wont get any more mileage, just a sore back from the lack of sidewall flex.

I am also interested in the Duratrac's. You'll have to post up a review when you get them.

Be careful with those BFG's. I was just looking them up, and it appears that one of the sizes (I believe it was the 265/75R/16 load range E) was NOT rated for severe snow conditions. Check the tire size charts from BFG and verify. Not sure if it's a big deal to you, but just something to think about. Oh, and I think they also make 2 versions of that same size tire. Each has a different speed/load rating.

check out the general grabber AT2. Great in the snow (has snowflake badging) Great in the rain, great on the road, perorm great off road. I'm running 265/75/16s LR E. The ride is not bad at all. Plus they are way cheaper than BF Goodrich Ats. Oh yeah they look great too.
