Tires in WA

Here are some pictures with the KM2's. Same size tire just an older version.

 

Thanks man! Those look awesome how is the rd noise?

 

Very nice! I wanted to get the KM3's but wussed out and stuck with my KM2's. Those look great on your truck so good choice!

 

For those wanting 255/85's the yoko G003's come in that size, and i can't say enough good things about their PNW performance and road manners

 

There's definitely a slight hum. It's not like it's a Supper Swamper hum, but it's not stock quiet either.

 

I know of another guy running the G003 and say's the same thing. Not sure what size he has, but might be worth looking into at some point.

 

I'm going to be with the KM3's for awhile. I ran my personal truck at my old job and put around 35k a year on it. Consequently, I would go through tiers ever 12-14 months. I now have a new job with a company truck. Now my truck sees about 6k a year.

 

+1 for the Cooper's st maxx. Mine are 255/80/17s. Really quiet for how aggressive of a tire they are. They do awesome everywhere you expect an AT to.

 

Did you have any rubbing issues? I'm really torn between going 255s or 285s

 

good thread, not sure how I didn't see it till now.....bought my truck with the ko2, love the tire aside from wet pavement....tend to drive with a heavy foot and these get squirly. Prolly take a hard look at those st maxx if these ever wear out.

 

I had km2s for a while. You can feel the lugs when you're going really slow (i have digressive suspension though) and there is a definite hum on the highway. My real complaint was the traction in the rain. Really bad.

However, awesome traction off road, but I am like 90% street, so I got hybrid at/mt tires instead.

 

New cooper AT3 XLT are the bomb! Go for those . On my tundra we are in the mountains quite a bit.


also threw them on my buddies new Tacoma.

 

very nice....see your in deadhorse...worked up there for 6 yrs

 

When weighed down backing out of the driveway.

 

Was! I got out about 2 years ago now...working at home for the railroad. I do miss the slope tho

 

I've run through a set of Hankook Dynapro ATM's and a set of Goodyear Duratrac's. I've never had a tire as good as the Duratrac in snow but over time it was bad on the road. I just purchased a set of the Falken Wildpeak's and put them on yesterday.

I have a Hankook/Duratrac thread here that compares and reviews them.

In the end I went with the Falkens because I didn't want to run a LT tire again, I don't see the point of them on our trucks, and I wanted a better build quality than the Duratrac. The Falkens looked the best, and offered the best performance, for what I needed. The Cooper AT3 only looks good, my opinion, in the XLT line which is an LT tire. The Regular Cooper AT34S is too mild looking and more expensive than the Falken.

 

Wildpeaks for me. Really good traction in all areas, but will probably go something more aggressive next time

 

I’m in the Lynnwood area, just ordered some TRD Pro 4Runner wheels and Falken tires for my ‘20. I’ve read about not all shops being able to mount and balance properly. I would prefer Discount Tire, any location recommendations where the techs and equipment are good?

 

Same here but 255/80/17 cooper st maxx ran with 885 and 5100 for a while then went to 886 and now ADS w/ 700 lb and they have been great the entire time. On my second set and been all over the south, east coast, across country and have been great offroad and onroad in rocks, gravel, rain, snow, sand, mud and quiet when dry. Will get a set for the wife runner when we buy it cus she loves them too. Great tire in the NW because of rain and mud great balance of AT/MT.

 

I've loved my K02's so far. Good in all weather/scenarios
