What is your favorite tire?

Hope all is well during this time. Just curious of what everyone recommends for tire. I’m looking for A/T or M/T, I’m liking the Nitto Ridge Grapplers but interested in what everyone else thinks. It’s for my 2016 TRD PRO and 295/70/17

 

I have Nitto ridge grapplers and love them

 

I have Goodyear Duratracs and love them although they’re louder than the ridge grapplers

 

Michelin

 

I wanted duratracs for my old Tacoma but went with BFG ko. They were really good but I love how the duratracs look too.

 

the michelins i had on my taco were awesome. super quiet and smooth. night and day difference from the coopers i had on before that.

 

Running KO2s right now.
Very durable and look nice.
They are getting louder as they wear.

My next tire will be a Cooper AT3 XLT.

Here is a thread on them..

Hankook Dynapro ATM not sure about the newer AT2 will give it a try next time.

 

I have BFG KO2's right now but trying to decide between Cooper XLT's, Toyo ATIII's or Nitto RG's ??? when its time to replace. Tuff decision, guess I could buy all 3 with different rims and then just swap them out every 5k miles....hmmmm

 

Michelin LTX DEFENDER

 

I've had Ko2's on my jeep and old taco...absolutely love them. Quiet, great in bad weather, great looking...

 

Michelin Defenders

 

Toyo AT2 extremes. Never felt like my tire was a limiting factor. They're American made, which is something I always try to look for. I've also had the non Extreme version which are much quieter. Wouldn't recommend the Extremes for a commuter

 

Nitto mt grapplers 35 1250 20
But I'm seriously thinking of going to 37s

 

KO2's or Duratracs.

 

Defenders are the best tire for like 95% of scenarios. I like my Ridge Grapplers, they ride decently and wear well. Nowhere near as good on road as the Defenders but they do look cooler.

 

Falken wildpeaks

 

Depends on where you live, weather you see, and what you wanna do with them. If it never leaves pavement and you don't need looks, stick with some P class tires for mileage and ride. If you hit the dirt and such, or want more aggressive tires, then there's a ton to choose from. Pick out a few that you like and go ask your local tire guy that is going to be balancing and rotating them. See if he has input on what ones are easier to deal with, and see the fewest problems. Check the warranty stuff too. I know we have a Discount Tire rep on here somewhere, but I am terrible with names.

I've run BFG KO2s and they are great for everything EXCEPT rain. Wet pavement is their bane. I've heard lots of issues with balancing too, but I never had trouble on the sets I had. Still, I'm going to do Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires for the Tundra. I read up on the history of the company, and have talked to several people that have them. None have ever said anything bad about them except they wish they looked more aggressive.

Good luck in your hunt for rubbers!

 

I agree. I stuck with the P rated as it’s a daily commuter in all weather along with being a family road trip vehicle.

Having an off-road style tire, with an aggressive sidewalk pattern and maintaining the nice ride... win win.

 

Always been a big BFG guy. I've owned KO2s in 31, 33, 34(currently), and 35. Loved them all. Also running KM2s in 33". Great on the rocks! I have Cooper Discoverers on one of my Tacomas and Toyo Open Country on the other. Really satisfied with both.

 

Yeah, mine is my DD, but I also wanna get off the pavement with it, probably tow, and get some kayaks and a bed rack. Not sure I will have a P rated tire, but I want the Falkens.

 

I’ve been nothing but pleased with my cooper st maxx tires. They were on my taco now the tundra. Same set. Quiet on the street and great off road.



they are heavy as sin though

 

Really liking my Cooper AT3 XLTs on my work truck.

 

I feel like this was supposed to be Cooper ST MAXX, which is my vote.

Apologies if I am wrong

 

opps, my cell phone got me again! edited!

 

That's a big question - I went with Conti TERRAINCONTACT A/T's. I wanted something great in wet conditions, could do snow, was smooth higway riding but also offroad. These fit the bill.

That said hard to argue with Michelin - that is what I buy for just about every other scenario on my other cars.

 

Duratracs are the way to go. I love them. They are a little loud. But not unbearable.

 

My favorite most favorite in the hole wide world tire is

PITPULL ROCKERS
Best offroad tire



But you can't go wrong with BFG K02s

 

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3. Smooth as glass and quiet as a church mouse.

 

BFGoodrich. (Which is owned by Michelin, so them too)
