SR tires

I got a 2022 sr5 stock, no improvement. It’s time for a new set of tires.I put a lot of highway miles (30k a year) but also get off-road sometimes. Nothing serious, no climbing rocks or mud. Just whatever is needed for my fishing and hunting.

what tire would you recommend?

 

On a side note, should I get a standard size or a bit taller? Not planning to get new rims.

 

Tires are a personal choice... for example I am very happy with my Toyo Open Country AT III's. Decently quiet, great on road, fantastic in rain and no complaints on the FSR's I have traveled.

Others will chime in with their preference. No real bad choices will be offered. You will have to decide what you want based on need, look and budget.

 

any taller or heavier duty you will see decrease in Gas Mileage. if you don't NEED increased performance, might just stick with something similar to what you have.

 

With the mileage you're putting on per year I would(and will myself) go with the Michelin Defender LTX M&S. These tires are eco-rated and- supposedly- perform quite adequately in moderate offroading.

The look isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you get past that they are a SOLID tire that will last you a few years even at the mileage you're putting on them!

 

I have the same truck. I stayed stock and went with Cooper discoverer AT3 4s standard load. I'm very happy with them for both daily commute and light offroading. No loss in gas mileage.

 

Thank you “taco lovers”
I’m not too concerned about the looks. Sure it is nice to see a lifted truck and extra stuff on it but at this stage of line I’d rather invest in trips/experiences. Off-roading is not my cup of tea. All I expect from the truck is to get me to where I want to be.

 

Get the factory size tires and get yourself a nice set of touring tires. Comfort will be king. If you’re not having traction issues now there’s nothing to fix as far as the off-road aspect of your post is concerned. You can always engage 4x4 when you need it for the extra traction

 

In my experience the Defenders work well off pavement on anything that still vaguely resembles a road.

 

Stock size Michelin Defenders will be my next set

 

Another vote for the Michelin Defenders. They’re a much better road tire than most all terrain tires and perform 80% as well as a dedicated all terrain tire.

 

I just took the original Goodyear Wranglers of my 2017 with 40,000 miles. They were 100% satisfying in heavy rain, ice, snow, gravel roads and hwy. I was very impressed. Not a mud tire, but handled everything else. Even with little tread.
