TIRE Help - What's The Best Aggressive AT C Load Range 265/75/16?

One thing that surprised me when I really started researching tires was the weight differences from one brand to the next. I ended up reassessing my needs and went with a SL Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I’m very pleased overall but think my second choice would have been a C load range Duratrac but will also add that I’ve had good luck with my General tires over the years as well. Luckily there are a lot of great tire choices out there now so it’s hard to go wrong, but lower weight was important for me because I didn’t want to saddle my truck with shoes that are too heavy.

 

You got facts to back that up. Doesn't make sense....

 

Per their websites, Grabbers in C weigh 49.2 lbs and KO2's is E weigh 53.9 lbs.

 

still waiting for the facts...

 

I just read this entire thread and am in the same situation. It's, now, appearing that there may be more options seeing as it's Sept 2020. Any help would be appreciated. I want to stick with 16s and have The Eibach stage 2 adjustable coilovers ordered. Need to find a tire choice soon and the research is "Dizzying." I agree OP. Thank you for starting this. Seriously any help... Even a link to a newer thread would help.

 

There are a few more offerings now so I’m sure we will have some folks chime in.

 

There are not a ton but we have a few options in this category, here's a quick link, LT265/75R16 C rated | Discount Tire. You can further sort by A/T if you'd like.

 

What's going on over there @The Real Moondog ??

 

Hobbs? What’s up brother? I’ve just been busy my friend, you know, searching the world over for that perfect craft beer.

 

Much appreciated and the usual world class service......

 

Some nice choices there.

 

Outstanding! I am happy to hear of your quest! I hope you find the ideal craft, but I have greater hope that you enjoy the treasure that is the search!
Be well Buddy!

 

It’s hard work my friend but someone has to do it. Take care!

 

Hey Moon dog. I'm able to help you out with beer ( I'm a brewer) if you can help me not get 17s. I'm thinking methods 315s machined with 265 70 17 I wanted 16s but the tires suck... As you know.

 

One of the newer tires to the market is the Goodyear Ultraterrain, but they come in either SL or LT. I recently decided to trade in my Duratrac C-load for the Ultraterrain SL mainly because the Duratracs were just so freaking loud on the freeway. I've taken the Ultraterrains on a few gnarly trails since then (but I haven't aired them down), and I haven't had any problems so far. They're nice and quiet and very light. Here are a few pics and additional insight - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/goodyear-ultraterrain-at.563036/page-26#post-24077488.

 

Thank you very much LstminutePanic. Looking into that now.

 

Try the Nitto ridge grappler very aggressive looking tire but a bit pricey

 

It’s a tough search for 16s for sure. While we have some more choices out there, they’re still kind of limited. I ended up going with Wildpeaks in SL but then sold my truck (in the market again). I’ve been on a brown ale kick lately but I’m down for most any craft!

 

I’m running these now too so much better than falkon

 

Here we are spring 2021 and I'm in the exact same boat. Need an AT tire at 265/75/r16 that has some meat on it but doesn't bog me down (2.7L AC). Some of these SL versions of AT tires look absolutely nothing like the E rated versions. Is there a consensus "right" answer here? Is it the falken wildpeak at sl? In my head I want a C rated tire for the sidewall protection on trails. It's crazy to me that there aren't more in between options at this size.
