Best tires for ride quality yet with a rugged look..

Well why would you need tire recommendations being clairvoyant and all?

 

Replying to Began42:
Where in the world did you find the Michelins? I’ve been searching for 2 weeks!

 

Those were the days. $1078 now.

 

Ko2 for me , it looks and feel really nice . I just installed about a month ago and so far I love them a bit more than the the nitto ridge grappler .

 

I still say the Yokohama Geolander G015 is the best 'mild' A/T tire on the market for Tacoma's. Great road manners, no noise, same fuel economy as factory (initially I thought I would lose maybe .5 mpg than stock, but has since proven false), excellent light snow/ice manners, good deep snow manners, fine in light mud, ok in deep/sticky mud, fine in dry or wet sand, hydroplaning resistance is great, wet grass traction is excellent, good on dry or wet rock, fine in small pea gravel/dirt roads*, has a mild rim protector, light weight for size, decent thread depth for size and SL or LT rating, etc, etc.

* = tires do pick up and hold and throw more small gravel than I would like.

Also tires are wearing faster than I would like.

Have NOT gotten stuck although there was a situation this past spring with deep rutted sticky mud 2 track farm lane conditions I needed all the throttle (to spin mud out of tires) and every electronic do-dad on my OffRoad model to get where I was going. The return trip was MUCH easier as I knew what I was in for.

I had a screw imbed itself into a tread block. Screw should of been able to penetrate into the tire. Failed to do so. Maybe the nylon cap prevented this. I dunno? Yanked screw out and tire has never lost pressure. I would most certainly buy again. The only tire that might sway me is the General ATX.

For what it's worth I'm running the factory stock size in SL rating.

 

I went with gy ultraterrains. Reasonable price

 

I'm considering the Hercules terratrac xat, 2 different side wall to choose from, the swoops or a more blocky pattern on the other side

 

Toyo Open Country A/T. I run General Atx, and they are loud. Had Toyo's on a LC, they were smooth and silent.

 

+1 for KO2s

 

Mickey Thompson Baja boss at for me in about six months when my tires get bald…

 

Thats what Discount Tire installed for me last week. I am very pleased with the Mickey Thompson Baja boss at

 

you have pics???

 

Another KO2 vote from me.

 

Hey Cammyfive. Love the wheels. I've read some people on this forum are having trouble mounting the 2021 SEMA PRO 17" OEM wheels and having to do some grinding to get them to mount. Did you have any issues with these wheels when you got them?

 

Falken wildpeak at3 or toyo open country rt

 

I had K02s (LT), not so good in snow. Wore those out (50k miles). Also tired of white letters showing. I decided to try a set of Kuhmo AT52s (P) as I stick to pavement mostly and wanted something good on snow. I think these are a fairly new version so we shall see how they do in Winter. I also downsized from 285/75 to 265/75 and so far like the looks and ride.

 

I had good luck with my kuhmo at51 tires and these are slightly more aggressive. I’ve had good luck with other kuhmo tires in the past too
