TIRE POLL. NEW 2020 ON THE WAY. WHAT NEW CHEWS TO BUY?

1. You really needed a poll to pick AT Tires?
2. You live in NC. No snow.
3. You don't off road
4. You are really poser right?

The tire you want is not on the list. Cooper AT3's. Look good but not too aggressive. Handle wet weather (as this is as tough as it will ever get for you) as good as any tire out there. Not expensive either. Won't bust when you hit a curb at the mall.

 

Really? Were the insults really necessary? Better to just keep your mouth shut.

 

My C Load 265/75/16 Duratracs have been awesome so far. 45 lbs vs 51 lbs E Load.

Most importantly, they come with the "3 peak snow designation" and have been great in the snow. Sold off my dedicated winters and now I don't have to switch over tires twice a year.

Check out the rim protection on the sidewall and decide for yourself. Also one of the best rain ratings.

 

I'll probably give Wildpeaks a go when I move. (Moving from the south to CO.) I've read mixed reviews, but that's pretty much all tires mentioned on here.

 

Kinda like when people use the word Am***ng

 

Some of you guys leave me shaking my head in wonder.

 

Why? Were you trying to be funny?

 

Nope, don't need a poll. Just wanted thoughts and opinions of people with real world experience with these tires.


NC No Snow? I was in the middle of this. We lived in the upper left Blue corner of North Carolina. Best I remember we got about 38 inches that day. So really tires didn't matter. Walked 5 miles each way to town and back twice over the next 4
days to get my kids diapers and milk. My brother of course went with me. Someone had to carry the beer.

 

Looks like KO2's are in for the KO!

 

Man if you take out the KO2's its crazy just how close this poll is.

 

I've officially had my Wildpeak AT3's for 40,000 miles and I still have half the tread left. I'm pretty impressed with them

 

Yep. Only 2% difference low to high.

 

KO2s are freaking horrific on wet pavement. I can tell you that from personal experience. I dont understand the hype on these tires? They fckn suck lol. I switched to NRGs and no complains here.

If you’re mall crawling though I suggest wild peaks or Toyos.

 

Maybe I should change the mall crawling part. I try to stay as far away from those things as possible. The truck will be my daily driver 7 days a week. 95% will be on road. Most bro's here can probably say the same.
I have KO2's now. Your right not good on wet pavement and have never been properly balanced. They did do pretty well in about 14" of snow up in the mountains a few years back.

 

I used to live in Tahoe and can tell you that the Toyos A/T I had on my 2nd gen performed extremely well in the snow.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Super glad to hear you guys have experienced the BFG KO2s sucking hard on wet pavement. That’s exactly what I read from a handful of different folk while researching. Exactly why I stayed away from them. Too much H2O in my climate. Probably perfect for the south west.

Also this is what the Cooper ST Maxx looks like on my tacoma. Stock suspension of course..

 

265/75r16. Ridge Grap

 

That's actually the tire I voted for. I'm leaning towards that or The Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT
I'd add it to the poll but I can remember quite yet how to edit the poll.

 

Is that on a Pro? If so any problems with clearance? Would 285/75's fit with no trimming?
