    First post......Got a 2016 TRD Sport in Nov. Looking to replace the stock tires with something that will give me some off road capabilities while maintaining a good highway ride. Considering BFG KO2, Goodyear Duratrac, Toyo AT2 and Cooper ST MAXX. Any suggestions would be appreciated. IMG_0018.jpgIMG_0020.jpg

    Michelin MS2 or the new Defender LTX MS.

    Or if you want more of an AT look, go for the Mich AT2, but they're not as good as the MS2/Defender MS in snowy/wet road conditions.

    Awesome tires on the highway. Almost silent at city speeds (MS2/MS). And sufficient for light off road. Lots of threads on the Michelins here.

    And... Nice looking truck!

    I personally suggest the KO2's. I run them and I do frequent drives from Tampa to Orlando. About 2 hour drive in the highway and they feel pretty good. Keep in mind they are a heavy tire though.

    ^^ yup, even a 5lb increase weight per tire is significant as far as mpg goes.

    BF Goodrich on 2015 Toyota Rav4 only tire I could find the stock size in. Can't go wrong with them . Work great om my KY mountain drive way which is very steep ,rocky and muddy at times.
    On the road a little noisy and a little bit of a rough ride because of the 10 ply construction , 56 psi keeps the sidewalls from flexing on the roads.
    Sister is using 2016 Tacoma 4x4 off road for now . Will be putting a set of Interco SSR Series Super Swamper Radials in the stock size on it if I ever get it back from her .o_O
