Ha! Well, doesn’t really answer my question but we’ll all assume from your answer you are a ‘no’.
I was going to give them a try; but they are very heavy. Didn't want to compromise an extra 6 lbs a tire compared to the next lightest tire.
The TRD PRO model he has starts at $68,250 MSRP, I'm not sure exactly what you mean.
The MileStars, Linglongs, Mastercrafts, Arizonas, and other off brand tires are a false economy and perform significantly worse than a main brand equivalent.
The only thing between you and the road are your tires, so I find it odd when people put such junk tires on their vehicles.
OP, look at Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent - in 33" size they weigh 10lbs less than the KO3s and Falkens.

I think it’s a little funny to call one tire junk over another. I could pull a review and a video on every single top 10 off road tire with someone saying why it’s not great, why it sucked and another saying why it was great. The benefit of this forum is to ask questions and get answers, without judgement, based on actual experience. Next time, bring receipts. Tell me exactly why they suck. If it’s not based on personal experience, then it ain’t worth much more than what I can read myself on the internet.

Does he use Milestar?
here's the deal
they will be fine for a dedicated off-road jalopy that you tow to the trails
they will not be fine for street or highway use, for very long. likely impossible to balance
due to poor construction and materials, and heavy and dead steering you have to live with just to save a bit of loot
they will likely self-delaminate plies internally within 15,000 miles or less if used on streets all the time
very likely tread will fall off in chunks eventually
very likely to start cupping if highway use is the primary function
and likely to develop an imbalance the first time you smack a pothole or raised
casting at speed whereas better made tires can take a lot more abuse before they 'defect'
the reason tires like Michelins and other popular tires cost so much is all that negative stuff I posted is engineered out and they are well constructed and last forever and can take a ton of abuse. Milestars are NOT those tires.
--------------------
so go ahead and buy them but big cheap tires are pretty much poison
