What tires do you like? (Merged Thread)

[Big E]

I have run Cooper Discoverer AT, ATR, and now the AT3 over the last 15 years. Each did its job well, good compromise tire for mud, sand, rock, and pavement. Am interested in the ST maxx however.

 

[BCBrian]

Another vote for Goodyear Duratracs.

I've had BFG KO's (originals) and now I have Cooper ATP's. I love BFG's but the Coopers work excellent and were $300-$400 cheaper than new KO2's of the same size.

I run the Cooper AT 3 on my 09 G Wagon. 265/70 18. Great on and off road. I've been very happy.

Well IMO it depends on what kind of terrain your gonna run on mostly for me it was sad dunes mostly FYI that's about the only thing we have in Arabia except the lower part of KSA UAE and Oman they have mountains and rocks.... So I've ran BFG At Ko on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe then got a 2010 Fj cruiser love it the thing didn't break I threw at it every thing ran on it the best tire for my type of terrain it was Toyo open country AT, then got a LR defender ran on it Goodyear wrangler MTR kevlar the older ones, and now running Cooper at3 on the nissan... They are good on sand and quiet on the freeway but wish the dealer would bring Toyo open country AT at size 16

So run what works best with the type of terrain your gonna run on mostly

I'm running Toyo MT's. 325/75/16".
60K mile warranty. I have E rated and am continually impressed at how well they squat for thick sidewall.
Wear well, a little noisy after 1/2 worn or so.


Can't make it through the day? Back up, and get a run at it!

I have Primewell Valera (right? Who the heck is that?) AT's. I had them for a month for a massive double-doss of snow hit my area and the tires dominated the snow easily, to the point that I volunteered to drive around and help recover cars and other vehicles that got stuck.

The tires also do extremely well in mud, gravel, dirt, and pavement lol. I've thoroughly tested them in the thickest, nastiest, mud out there (Kentucky clay.....beat that!) and they prevailed wholeheartedly.

Midwest red clay mud. Stickiest, nastiest, heaviest mud you'll ever try and run through.

I am running the factory 265/75/16 BFG AT's that came with the truck. In my lifespan, I have owned a fair amount of BFG AT's. They are a great tire for the weekend warrior. But don't be fooled by their M/S rating. They blow monkey chunks in the snow. Now. my favorite tire is the Goodyear Duratrac AT. Ahmazing in the snow! Treadwear lifespan is not so good on a daily though...

What kind of lifespan are you talking? I have close to 30K on my Duratracs and have loads of tread left.

I've been running ST Maxx for about 4 years now, and love them. Excellent off road traction and quiet on road, tread wear is great as well. I was debating on switching to the new pros but the ST Maxx have been hard to beat.

How are those on hard pack snow/ice that is on the roads most of the winter?

The first year or so they were really good on ice (for a truck tire). But with wear they all start to get slick on hard stuff. Ice is ice, no tire is great on it. Deep snow excellent, wet packy snow they are still awesome.
They so far have been far better than both sets of the BFG AT's I had.

I had just over 35k on the Duratracs before they required "retirement". They were kept as spares until they expired. The current BFG's now have over 40k and they still have way more meat on them. I plan on changing them out for Duratracs here in a few months.

For overland I love my BFG ko2s at they have over 30k and still look like new. They have been all over from Moab to deep snow up here in Montana. They have loads of traction on everything. They are quite and have been the best tires on ice covered roads out of all my tires .
For pure back wood trail 90% joy in the rocks and mud the Dunlop Kevlars have been amazing in everything for me . Iroks bias for the true trail runner for me

KM2s are great tires. Never had any major driving issues with them. I did have an issue with the cost of them though.. 35x12.50r17's are about $400 a piece. I bought TOYO Open Country AT's this past fall and I'm impressed with them, to say the least..

Hi All,

I plan on putting new tires on my Titan this spring. I would like to know what members are choosing for side wall stiffness 8 ply or 10 ply? Because I'm looking at 33 or 34" tires most seem to be 10 ply.

Thanks

I just merged four "What tires should I get" type threads into this existing thread. All the answers and opinions in one place. :)

I have 10-ply BFG-KO2 E-rated tires on my 4Runner.

About 40K miles ago I put on Nitto Trail Grapplers. When new, they were quiet on the Highway (not so much now) and took everything I threw at them on the trails.
I live in DFW so I haven't had any major snow/ice in the last 3 years. Just light snow and they did fine.

In that 2nd pic it looks like your buddy behind you is NOT steering in a favorable direction for that obstacle ! LOL

 

[Glenn]

I run Hankook Dynapro MT's , love them and need to "almost" replace after 47,000

 

[Cam_Cam_Tech]

Any BFG will be a great choice. Currently running KM2 and waiting on the KM3 this year
