    Hey everyone....my name is Zach. Great to be here. As you can tell by my title this is my first truck. I had been eyeing a tundra for a couple of years and am very satisfied with my purchase. One of the main reasons I became interested in this forum is because I am looking to get some all terrain tires and would like as much advice as possible. I look forward to conversing with you all and welcome any advice. Thanks!

    Hahaha it is very nice. I still have a minivan, but was finally in a position to get a truck and I haven't touched the van since. Although I'm starting to worry, because my wife is starting to drive the tundra and loving it lol

    Haha, congrats on the purchase.

    I recently bought BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2's. So far so good. They are 10 ply and pretty heavy, but the tread pattern has been around for 40 years for a reason. They are quiet and look pretty good in my opinion. Can't speak of tread wear as I have only had them for a few weeks. I noticed a slight decrease in MPG, maybe 0.6 mpg.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Welcome. My last truck sat on BFG k02 and current is Nitto terra grappler G2, both in 35's. I have no complaints with either tire as being All Terrains.
