The light weight (for an E range tire) is what got me to buy them once.

The performance is what will get me to re-buy them.
What was wet performance like? I haven't had any monsoons yet to test.

What size
Toyo did you get?
I tried those and returned them within the return window. Noticably stiffer and harder ride than stock. went with Nitto Terra grapplers. Better more comfortable ride than Toyo but they absolutely suck when wet.

Loved the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's I had. They were quiet and rode great. (would have purchased again if they made them in 22)

I have Nitto Recon Grapplers now and I would not recommend them due to noise and ride quality.

I am in Colorado, so never seen a monsoon here!
But even light rain my prior 3pmsf (not Rebel) Duratracs would be super slimey and squirrelly, though they did surprisingly well against hydroplaning.
Geolanders and KO2s were much less squirrely, though the KO2s were scary for hydroplaning.

The closest to Monsoons we get is big snow storms in warm weather, or after a snow storm and things melt. Tons of standing water and slush.

In all wet conditions the Revos just grip like velcro. Much more confident in the non-dry. And the hydroplaning / slush evacuation is phenomenal, which I guess isn't really surprising when you look at the tread pattern.

Something I noticed with the ridge grapplers was I had to put about 500 miles or more in them before they didn’t spin in rain. I almost sold them after a week because of a light rain and I was spinning terribly. After a couple weeks they did very well in the next rain. I have about 25k miles on this set and can say rain is their week spot and there is a hum now on the highway. They do excellent in snow in my opinion.
I had Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep and I have them on my Ram. They are a loud tire. KO2's are a polarizing tire for some reason but I've had great luck with them in my Jeeps. When I replace the Nittos I'll likely get the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's.

I've been a big fan of BFG All Terrains for years. They aren't perfect, but they do many things pretty well. The wet weather traction has been great for me with the BFG's.

I have Ridge Grapplers on my 1500. The Ridge Grapplers look great in my opinion and ride nicely. The dry weather handling is great, but I haven't driven them in any wet conditions to know how they will do.

I will say that the Ridge Grapplers seem to have a bit of noise at highway speeds for sure. I guess that is to be expected with the more aggressive tread.
It's nothing terrible, but I wish they were just a little quieter.

I've repeatedly used the BFG T/A KO2 on my F250 SD & before that my mild offroad daily driver K5. They are not the best out there but for the price & overall functionality I love them. Being in NJ we rarely get massive amounts of snow (but they did well in the blizzards we did have over the last decade) & my farm is 15 miles from the nearest legit city (and 30 miles from Philly). They perform better in rain than the Pirellis that were OEM on my Lincoln & handle the mud when the horse paddocks are swamped out.

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually end up on my 2500
