    Hello would like to ask people who may have experience with these tires and opinions. The tires I have been looking at are and sizes are...
    265/75R16
    Duratracs
    Geolandar xat
    Hankook Dynapro MT2

    255/85R16
    Falken wildpeak mt

    I do live in The Yukon so tires are hard to come by but these tires I can order. Looking forward to the feedback thanks

    I just got a set of Geolandars, my fourth set because I've had them on three different trucks and loved them. I ordered them from Amazon. Be SURE you get the LTs if that is what you want. They sell P rated Geolandars too, and I ordered the wrong ones the first time and the return was a nightmare through Amazon, mostly because of UPS but still. I've had BFG, Michlins, Goodyear, Firestone, Perelli, Hankooks, Coopers, and Milestar... and like the Yokahomas best.

    Oh, and I suppose you living in the Yukon might mean you are concerned about snow.The G015 tires are good in the snow. I like narrower tires in snow because they don't float on top as much. Mine are 245/75/16 and they have done better than the 265/70/16s that I had before.

    I put 40,000 miles on a set of Hankook dynamics. Great tires no complaints.

    I have a set of Toyo M/Ts 255/85r16 on stock Offroad wheels and love 'em. Those things are like tractor tires and will climb up anything like a billy goat. I have a lift but apparently you can fit them without. Toyo is a big brand too so maybe available in your area?

    I’ve had no issues with my duratracs in load c. Handle well in snow not much experience in ice. They ride well on pavement and off road a little noisy as the tread wears down but overall I’d buy them again.

    Toyos mts are more than I want to spend on tires. The snow around here is finally melting, from end of October until end of April we have snow so ill be buying winter tires and run two sets. Duratracs I can get right away the others I can get probably within a week. I am leaning towards dynapro mt2's at the moment but would like to hear from hands on experience with them.

    I should mention that my tacoma will be a overland/offroad truck. The truck would probably 70/30 or 60/40 pavement to dirt roads

    I'm running 265/75/16 Duratracs, love 'em in snow, mud, dirt, and rock. I'd have gone 255/85 skinnies but don't want to run M/T. Not sure if you're aware, but M/T *SUCK* in snow, the rubber compound is not meant for cold temps and the tread design is meant to clear mud not snow... they basically turn into slicks in snow.

    Here's to hoping the skinnies options improves in the future.

    Maybe someone else will chime in but I had a set of dynapros on my 2010 and do a lot of driving down transmission lines for work and had atleast 4 punctures on one set. Now I wasn’t Aires down or anything but most of these were dirt roads with your occasional couple hundred yard stretch with some bigger rocks in them.
