TRD Sport Tire Upgrade

Nitto Terra Grapplers do give decent mileage....but not good with heavy trucks. I liked them a lot. Currently running Toyo AT II and like them as well, P265/70/17

 

I Love my Michelin at2's... I haven't tried any of the others suggested though...

 

Gotcha. I got rid of those BFG rugged trails 24 hours after buying my taco

 

Toyo is parent company of nitto . I would run open country, but too loud on the highway

 

Get rid of those stock tires ASAP cause I had those on my 2006 and they are crap so if you know someone that wants to buy them then sell them haha. Nitto makes good ties and for descent prices too. The Terra Grapplers are very popular and an all around good A/T tire.

 

Hankook Dynapro ATM, better than the 3 you mentioned.

I chewed my last set of the updated Toyo A/T's off in under 30,000 kms (less than 20,000 miles). IMHO they are a shitty tire if you plan on much gravel or off road driving. The Hankooks hold up much better.

 

I'm planning on Cooper AT/3s for my '14 Sport as soon as my 18,000 OEMs wear out.

 

This was a great review done by one of the top 4x4 sites, petersen's and 4wheel off road were present. Compares the Toyo, BFG and Hankook.

 

I went with Firestone Destination ATs. I've only had them for a few thousand miles but I don't hate them. They look good. Traction seems decent so far. I went with them based on a couple of criteria.

1. I liked the "look". They were aggressive enough. I liked the "look" of some other tires more but these would do.

2. Size. They weren't as big as other tires of the same size.

3. Weight. This was huge for me. I tried staying as close to the weight as the OEM tires. My experience is that the weight is a big factor in how well a tire will balance and give a good on road ride.

4. Reviews. On Tire Rack they are one of the best rated tires and may be the highest rated A/T tire. And there are A LOT of reviews and miles driven. So pretty proven.

5. Price. Not my highest priority. I'll spend money to get what I want. This was just a bonus as they are fairly inexpensive and I found buy 3 get 1 free from Firestone.

 

Hankook is getting my attention.

 

Duratrac has been my favorite. Amazingly low road nose for such aggressive at.

 

Yes I did edit it.

And I can't afford the Michelins. Thanks for the advice guys I'll look into the Coopers and more the Hankooks.

I had the Revo on my old Silverado and loved em, but didnt get much use out of them since the truck spent more time in the shop then it did on the road. The HTs I have now did surprisingly well in the snow, but I need to be able to run some trails to get my kayak in the water.

 

Yeah I have zero complaints of my duratracs, but road noise has increased significantly as I've racked up the miles. I guess that's to be expected.

 

I love my BFG Rugged Terrains.

I'm am on my 3rd set and suits my needs extremely well.

My vote goes for the Hankooks. Have them on my Sport and the wife's 4R and they have done very well on rocks and in the desert, they're staying quiet.

 

I have been running the BFG Rugged Terrain in 265 / 70 / 17 for about 2 years now. Used to run BFG AT's, the new tires were like night and day from the LT AT's. Much quieter, smoother ride and work way better in the snow than my AT's ever did. When the tires need replacing on my Pro I will seriously consider going to the P rated Rugged terrains. My Tundra is loaded most of the time so runs around at about 6k lbs on a daily basis. I live in the Mtns. so lots of twisties, wet roads, and some snow. Have 0 complaints with the Rugged Terrains. They also have a 50k tread wear wty. Got them at Americas Tires for just over $700 (they had a rebate going) vs about $1200 for AT's. Mine are on a work truck that sees a lot of mild off road use in pastures and such. To date they have never let me down and I would definitely buy them again. They are a bit more "mushy" on the windy roads, but I really don't mind that. For me at least, they have been an exceptional tire.

 

Agreed...the Rugged Trails that come stock on a lot of Tacos / Tundras etc are POS Tire! One of the worst tires I've ever had on a vehicle, though I did run them for about 9k on my Tundra. The Rugged terrains that the poster has listed are a totally different tire and do exceptionally well.

 

+1 I love mine.
