Good tires for mild off-roading

Hey guys my ride is 2019 Tundra Crewmax bone stock. It came with 18” wheels. I’m planning a trip to some trails (easy to moderate) in Arizona and I don’t like the street tires it came with for this trip. Any recommendation will be highly appreciated, please and thank you.

 

Welcome from NC! Be prepared as this question can be very subjective.....Nitto, Toyo, Goodyear and BFG make quality tires. I have had GY Duratracs and MTR’s which are tires that works well off road...I am currently running Nitto Ridge Grapplers but have not been off-road with them. Many members will chime in on their preferences...good luck in your decision.

 

Welcome to the forum. I love my Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They have a great off-road look and they are a solid performer both on and off road. They ride much quieter than you’d think but are slightly louder than highway tire.

 

If you mostly want a great quality, reliable, QUITE, did i say quite?, tire with a pretty good amount of sand, mud, loose rock off-road ability with side snipes, look no further than Michelin's LTX ATX2s. Not overly expensive, long-lasting (about 70k), quite, smooth on road and can handle most any Reasonable off-road condition. They're a wolf in sheep's clothing...

 

Belated welcome from NY.

 

PREACH!!! and welcome from East TN!

 

You didn't mention the tires you currently have. If it has the Bridgestone Duelers, I could understand why you want to replace them. I do not think too highly of them.

 

Toyo AT III
Cooper AT3 XLT

 

Liking my Mickey Thompson baja ATZs. Good on road; good on trails.

 

Truth.

 

That's great! I just realized that's what I have right now. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

 

Thanks. I'm familiar with some of these brands for bigger sized (35" and above, or at least 33") tires used in other cars, but wasn't sure if they make any that will fit my stock Tundra w/o any lift/leveling kit

 

I got these put on my truck back in December. No complaints what so ever. If its good enough for the PRO, then its good enough for my SR5.

 

Oops should have mentioned that. Mine came with Michelin's LTX ATX2s 275/65 R18.

 

I have the OE Michelins. They are excellent road tires. Offroad they should be fine in dry dirt, my concern with OE rating is sharp rocks on the sidewalls

 

Welcome from Chandler!

IMO some great hybrid street/mild offroad tires include the Yokohama Geolandar and the Cooper AT3 line-up.

I had both, personally like the Geolandar better. So much so that we put a set on my wife's vehicle.

Regarding load Range, P vs LT. Depending on what you consider mild, a P rated might suffice. There are downsides going to LT, and if it's not something you need, it's not something you need.

 

I'm confused.... does your truck have 20" wheels as stated in the first post, or does it have 18" wheels as stated here?


Either way, any AT tire should handle "mild" off road driving without much trouble. I went with Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires because I need good snow performance as well.

 

Sorry! It came with 18”, updated my original post just now. Not sure why I thought it was 20”.

Thanks for your recommendations btw.
