    Hey looking for tire suggestions for an aggressive looking tire good for highway travel and back roads.
    Looking at Nitto Terra grappler, or ridge grappler, falken wild peak at3w, BFgoodrich KO2.
    Let me know what you liked. Thanks

    I've got 40k miles on my terra grapplers, starting to get a little noisy but still pretty decent in the wet and snow.

    Very good tire for the price and light compared to a few of the other tires out there.

    Michelin LTX are also a very good road tire, have them on the wife's SUV.

    I have K02's on my 2015 Taco for a year now and I'm not impressed. Their noisy & get bad gas mileage. That said, they did awesome in the snow and sleet this past winter. Other than that, I would not recommend.

    out of those choices ide vote wildpeaks, cause I have them and they kick ass, but I beat the shit of them on the trails so they get worked over, for mostly highway driving and some weekend warrior stuff ide probably go with toyo a/ts, or defender ltx
