Unpopular opinion: all terrain tires are stupid

You should see how many taurus's(taurii?) I have.

 

lulz!!

 

make anything go fast enough and it’ll skip across the water.

 

Or land...

 

Is this in the same vein as "you can milk anything that has nipples"?

 

"i have nipples Greg, could you milk me?"

My all terrain tires are on my dirt bike.

 

You mean mud terrain. I have AT's on the Rav and the Tundra and they are quiet as a mouse. I have MT's on the Tacoma and they are loud. Viva mud terrain!

 

P rated tires are great

 

Lol. If he had highway tires he would crawl right up that rock still. Plenty of grip out west.

 

I like function over looks. I haven't been in one offroad situation where grip was my issue.. do you even offroad?

 

Na. Its actually a very big difference between all terrain and highway terrain. I see zero pros of all terrain only cons. Besides looks but we're not fruity fiat bros over here

 

The street tires that came on my Tundra were mediocre in snow, had a short life and had poor wet traction. They did everything a tire needs to do at a mediocre level but probably were good for an mpg or two over an all terrain. Brand name all terrains do everything better for me on and off road but are a bit noisier and cost me a bit more fuel.

 

Just because you don't utilize it doesn't mean others don't.

 

Honestly though. Its not like the tundra is the only body on frame Toyota. If I had money for a 2nd tundra I'd get me a 4runner or a landcruise or an lx430

 

What exactly is there to utilize?

 

Traction, puncture resistance, and peepee compensation.

 

ehh ill stop. Hopefully people see this thread and realize there's not much to be gained for at's besides puncture resistance and looks

 

And deep snow/mud performance. I've had both, and street tires are great until you break about 8 inches of heavier than powder snow. The just slick up and can't clear, same for mud.

 

None of those options will pull an 8000# camper for me. Already had Tundra #1 for the last 17 years. Wasn’t getting rid of it. Ever.

 

Now i see your logic. I bet a 1st gen could pull 8k with od off at 55mph and upgraded suspension but fuck all that!

 

Can and should are two different things….

 

Pay no attention to the AT tires on the truck.
