These new Revo 2s are a dream!

There is no rub or clearance issues that i've seen even though the 245s are 31.6" verses the original 30.5" . . . as the 245s are an inch narrower. The Revo 2s slice through the water patches like a steak knife verses the old 'butter knife' feel we had on the wider HTs.

And as a bonus; according to our GPS, our speedo is perfectly matched to these new tires.

Highly recomended.

Happy Trails,

I looked at these tires as well and glad you picked them up and posted about them. I'm also glad to hear the size you choose didn't effect your speedo either as that was a cause for concern too. For one reason or another, the OEM tire size seems to be a limiting factor when looking at new threads.

T0y0ta05 · 11-06-2009, 12:47 AM

It may be me, but this thread is a bit one sided towards AT tires. I'm currently debating a good all seasonal tire and would be nice to see what others have looked towards for replacing the OEM tires with an upgraded version. Anyone consider Nokian WRG2s? http://www.nokiantires.com/tyre?id=1...me=Nokian+WRG2 They appear to be a traditional passenger car tire rather than a truck tire, but they do come in the factory size of 265/65R17 and garnish good reviews by those who bought them. Thoughts?

Hmm, strange. Actually I did have a pic for them. The link probably got broken since then and its just not showing up any more.

Im looking at putting Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 2002 4x4 taco. I am planning on installing a Toytec 3" lift kit to add some clearance for my tires.
Here is the thing, I am currently running low pro 275/45/20s on 20" street rims and now i want to run more aggressive tires.

As I see it, I have limited options with my 20' rims and am looking at the Nitto Terra grapplers 285/55/20. According to the other posts, this should fit with no or minimal trimming.

The new Trail grapplers look sick, but are only available in 295/55/20. I am not sure this set up will fit even with my 3" lift kit. Does anyone know if these trail grapplers will work without getting too crazy without installing spacers, excessive trimming, rubbing, hitting control arms, etc.?

any input or suggestions are appreciated.

Aloha

Is there a benefit of going from the 265/65's to 245/75's? I'm in Canada (soon to move to the Maritimes, NS - lot of slush and snow in the winter) and will be traveling ~40-50miles (roundtrip) / day... Right now I have the Dunlop GrandTrek AT20's on there - they have no traction in the snow so I am going to pick up a new set of tires which I would like to run year round.. I like the REVO 2's but wonder how much handling is sacrificed by going to the 245/75 vs stock size..

Thoughts before I pull the trigger ? (would cost me $1020CDN for 4 tires, installed, balanced, etc)
Tnx!

The general thinking is, that narrower tires exert greater pressure on their contact patch, making them better at "digging down" and finding grip in snow.

In reality, it's only 20mm worth of tread width and they are not THAT much different than the 265mm width.

245/75/r16 is actually a stock fitment for some second gen tacos. I run this size on my winter tires (Yokohama I/T GO72's) and love them. They're awesome in deep snow and ice.

Wish I had personal experience with an all-season I've used during winter but I always run real winter tires.

My father-in-law runs Michelin LTX AT2s on his F-350 all year round and speaks extremely highly of them. He covers 50,000km+ a year on business so he knows his tires.

NumNutz · 12-02-2009, 08:35 PM

Just wanted to throw out there (might have been mentioned) but BFG just started making their A/T T/A KO in a 275/70/17.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Great for people who want a bigger larger tire with a small lift and don't want to trim a lot.

The Destination A/Ts are held in very good regard here on TW. I might even venture to say BETTER than the revos??? Certainly, they are a great tire for the price.

tac-sky · 12-24-2009, 05:24 PM

Wow , what good list ! Thanks FYI

Gregman · 01-14-2010, 04:56 PM

I've never heard of these tires before, but they were on my Tacoma when I bought it. They are called Hero Dynastorm A/T. They are cheap to buy and made in Taiwan by Fedral. I have 245x75 R16 and they seem to ride nice - I havn't had them long enough to say how the perform in mud or snow, but they seem to be fairly quiet on the highway.

svelez · 01-14-2010, 05:49 PM

Great job on that list! I was wondering if you have any recommendations on street tires for the Taco. I hardly ever go off-road, I drive mostly on highways, and the streets where I live are mostly concrete... It can get VERY slippery out there, specially with a little rain! Any suggestions on some sticky tires? I was thinking of going with Toyo's Proxes St II's 285/60 R17. I want to keep the stock wheels... Thanks!

storkbull · 01-15-2010, 10:35 PM

Nice thread man, Im either going with the General Grabber AT2 or the Firestone Destination. Im leaning more towards the General Grabber AT2, I like the tread more
