Best standard size tire?

I apologize for this post right off the bat as I know this information is probably out there already.

I upgraded to Cooper AT3 Discoverers which were great, but took 2-3mpg off my fuel efficiency. I'm no longer driving up forest service roads quite as much so was looking to drop back down to the standard/stock tire size.

What are people liking in the standard size (forgive me I forget the deets)?

Any input would be much appreciated!

 

Are you looking for a street tire or something that is still A/T?

 

If all you care about is fuel economy, 245/75R16 and any tire with "H/T" in the name.

Stock for offroad is 265/70R16, but you can run 245 no problem.

 

If it's an H/T type tire you're after my vote would be for the Michelin Defender LTX M+S

 

Running Firestone Destination AT2. Have not been able to see any drop in MPG from the tires that came OEM on the truck

 

Thanks for the replies. Definitely prefer something still A/T as I do get into the mountains on occasion.

I've found my A/T tires suck ass in the snow though

 

recently put stock size Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs on my sport and the ride just as good as the OEMs and Mileage seems about on par with the OEMs as well (so far).

 

Compared to what?

 

Stock tires. I liked the Coopers for off-road, but they sucked in the snow and rain.

 

if U are asphalt 99% o the time

hi-way 99% o time

hard to beat Michelin LTXs

not offroad

maybe the casual park

possible non challenged fire road

otherwise mostly asphalt !!

 

Michelins. I have run many different tires over the years and always go back to Michelins.

 

Which stock tires? There are more than one.

 

Fire roads are roads. Just saying.

 

My Michelin LTX AT2’s did very well on both my Tacoma and 4Runner when Texas went sub zero in February.

And north Texas gets a shit ton of rain.

Running 265/70/17 on both. Highly recommended.

 

I'm not much of a tire guy, but i put a new set of 265/70 16 goodyear AT adventure tires from my 2001 tundra to replace the stock 245/75 16 firestone all season that came on the truck. Really no big change in fuel economy...less than 1 mpg on the highway. Performance didn't suffer either. The AT tires just work better in winter, and on the crappy dirt road i live off.
