Honestly I love them. As good or better through any terrain I’ve put them through as my duratracs which I ran for my last 5 sets of tires. Only complaint I’ve hear about them is tread life which isn’t necessarily my highest concern

 

That's not mine either as I go through any tire pretty quickly. That's why I'm always searching for the best for the buck. The falkens were it.. not anymore. Patagonia or the Yokohama's are on top of my list. Maybe the Cooper stt pros.. idk..

 

Stt pro’s are also great per second hand experience as a few of my jeep buddies run them. Just pricey. @Coot83 just threw on the Yokohama’s and seems to like them so far. But yeah the Patagonia’s have been great and the price is hard to beat. 37’s were cheaper than my 35” duratracs

 

I ran the St Maxx's for a set.. they were great.. but pricey. I can get the Pros for just over 300. The Yokohama's for about 280. weights are all pretty similar.

 

$208 for the Patagonia’s in a 315/75/16 or $245 for 17” rims

 

If they introduce the iMT auto rev-match to the Tacoma manuals... holy shit.

I was so impressed with it in the Corolla, it made an otherwise thoroughly bland econobox actually have a little spark of fun. I can only imagine how fun it would make a truck.

 

In Florida a bunch of us tried the Cooper STT Pro. While I had good luck with the original STT the Pro's sucked ass. Wore stupid funny even on rotation and good alignment and were slick as pig snot in the rain.
I'd take the Yoko's Goe MT over the Coopers personally. Granted I still have a long ways to go to wear out my AT3W's.

 

I love Toyo and have had good run with Cooper STT. For a low cost tire I like the Ironman M/T. I know you want to try the 35s but they seem to be out right now all around. This seemed to be a good deal with a cursory look. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ironman-all-country-m-t-LT35-12-50R17-121Q-owl-all-season-tire/492647454. I paid less then $200 each for some 37s. I've like those.

 

I was thinking of checking out someplace new to me this weekend.
Hows Childs dispersed camping spot? Looking at latest FSR websites should be open.

 

we were just down there a few weeks ago, but from the south side of the Verde. The roads were open up until 3 miles from the river. you can walk down to the river from there, but for us on the south side of the verde, we werent able to drive to the river itself. not sure about the north side (camp verde/fossil creek).. but just FYI

 

appreciate the feedback man.

damn, that is a good price.. hmmm..

I wasnt impressed with my ATIIs back in the day.. especially for the price. I'm leaning towards the Yokohama's. they check most of the boxes on my list.

kinda between these 3 right now..

Yokohama MT's @ $284 a tire. 34.7" tall. 21/32 tread depth. 71lbs.

Patagonia MT's @ $245 a tire. 34.7" tall. 19/32 tread depth. 68lbs.

Cooper Evolution MT's @ $250 a tire. 34.76" tall. 20/32 tread depth. 64lbs.

 

Casual Monday..

Can't wait to be out there this time Friday!

 

I have the patagonias on whits truck. About 10k miles on them currently. Doing well so far. good in snow/mud /dirt/ rocks. No complaints especially for the price.

 

i vote Toyo Mt. I know you don’t like some of the big name stuff but I’ve been really happy with Toyo. And you should be able to get 10% off at SDHQ. Also, remember I used to work at discount and am still good friends with my old manager

but yeah, any tire can get destroyed easy. Wheels pin kills them.

at the end of the day pick your fav though man

 

not sure if any of you guys are fans of collector watches, but came across a sweet deal on this one:

Looks like a sweet graduation present to myself in a couple months. Not like looking at my phone in my pocket does the same thing LOL. But hey man if you've got the means to do so and that's your thing, you'll have the earth in the palm of your hand.

 

just waiting on the sale of my house to finalize so that I can pick one of those up!

 

Good to know. Thanks man. The price is the biggest thing for sure since I go through em so quickly.

I thought about the Toyos.. but I wasn't a big fan of my ATIIs.. and the MTs are $330 and weigh more than any other tire at 80 lbs. Some discounts might make them more appealing... And they do look good.. one of the best looking MTs imo.. but idk. I'll hit you up man..

I'll poke around some more and figure it out.
