time for new tires. 285 or 295. ko2. st maxx. nitto rg. hankook mt. at3 xlt. toyo at2. geolander g003. any others?

looking for norcal real world experience/feeback?

 

That was my wife’s last name before we married(pronounced Wong).

 

I've had the toyo at2s in 285s for about 2 years now. No complaints. They've been awesome and I've never not had traction when I needed it. Except in the snow at UTC when some jackass on 40s dug a pit for me. But that's a pretty extreme situation that I'm not sure any tire would have prevailed in.

 

Ko2s have done me good so far, ive only got about 3000 miles on them in the year or so that ive had them and my fire road exploring probably hasnt really put them through the ringer.

Will eventually be going KM3's when im ready to step up to 285's

 

Idk if its been you're experience, but I've heard the ko2s wear quickly for an AT tire. That's why I went a different route. I've got well over 30k on my at2s and could get away with another year on them I imagine. But I dont want more than one more snow season on them

 

ive got 30k on my ko2's and liked them in rock and snow, edit: sand too. not so much in mud and rain. but the wear has been great imo... looking for something better if possible.

 

Well... i bought my truck last september and immediately had some Ko2s put on (because, wtf did i know lol)
like i said ive only gotten about 3000 miles on the truck since i bought it over a year ago, i fully expect me to replace those tires/wheels before i even get near half tread on them, so i will probably never know how they wear lol

I thought the 265's would look too small for a M/T (im strange?) so i went with the Ko2s. 90% will be getting a M/T for my 285s tho (KM3s being at the top of what may be my misguided list)

 

Buddy of mine went through 2 sets on his f250 real quick. Maybe it was the weight or him lighting up the tires since it was a modified diesel. Lol. I also heard from other sources they wear quick. Or got bubbles under the tread. Idk. Maybe I just wanted to be a nonconformist like all the other nonconformists.

 

I like the kms. And I'd love MTs. But I believe they wear pretty fast too and my taco is my daily so the majority of her miles aren't play time. Unfortunately. So cost effectiveness puts me back on the hunt for nice ATs

 

3k in a year? is your truck sad because it barely gets to go out and play?




In all seriousness... wish I didn't put so many miles on my baby.

 

same same

 

I have also been looking into a foam pad for sleeping in the bed. My two camp-style sleeping pads work ok with my bedmat. But... im getting (read: feeling) old and need some more cushion. I was thinking about the old school eggshell style, but im sure the newer foam/gel ones work way better

Very sad


At least I drive a '15 pre runner for work all day, shes got 150k on her lol
It is nice to hop into mine on the weekends for camping trips and notice how much more "fresh" mine is, even if its one year older (and 100k younger)

 

I think you should be the first kid on the block to bust out the 275/70-18s (33.2×10.8).

 

Dim sum, won ton, pu pu?
