2018 TRD Off Road - dump stock tires or run 'em down?

Keep em til you can get a good deal like 15% eBay coupon or Black Friday sale on new tires. That’s what I did and I sold the oems with 2k miles for $270.

 

I'm that cheap. I'm wearing mine out before I buy a more aggressive A/T

 

Tossed mine at 50 miles. I use mine off road, needed tires that work for that. Sold for 300 and bought 32'' wildpeaks at 118 a tire. So what 110+ bucks for real tires

 

Yes, have them on my truck and just purchased them in June/July.

 

I had 64k on mine when I traded my 16 in for my 18. No complaints

 

That's about where I am at. I am curious what we are doing differently from the guys who are at 4/32" at 25,000. I will keep mine at least another year. In 18 months I will have the truck paid off and can use that surplus for upgrades.

 

Could be driving styles and keeping up on tire pressure and rotations - it's weird to see so many different options. Maybe some folks don't like the stocks because they aren't very aggressive looking or large enough, or they're really wheeling their rigs hard and actually need a more beefy tire?

 

I dumped 'em. Off road traction was disappointing and I didn't like the look at all. Waited for a good set of MT's to go on sale, got a fat discount and sold the Wranglers so I was only out a few bills to put new rubber on. Love the way it looks and performs now.

 

Looks sick, what's your setup?

 

The white 3rd gen taco in this is Maxx Powell's rig, very nice build he has goin and he does upload to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-GHQ4tHMdzMNUS2NDJMypg he even has some blogs up of when he was doing the filming.

 

I had 6/32 on mine at 22k just before winter so I switched them out. They were very good in snow and moderate offroad use. Didn't have any sidewall problems. Not a bad tire, just seemed to wear quickly, I might have gone to 30K mi if not for the coming winter.

 

Sweet rig - 265/75/16's? How big is the lift kit?

 

Max is a member here too.

 

This is what prompted me to switch. Two flats in 8k miles is ridiculous.

 

2/1 level-lift, 1" block in back and 5100's all around. 265/75/16 Yokohama Geolandar G003's

 

I'm in this boat right now...Winter coming up, only got about 800KM on my tires. Wonder if I can sell them for a couple bucks just to offset the cost of some KO2's and a new wheelset. Gah.

 

I drive 15-30 miles a day on dirt/rock roads. Tires don't last long in these conditions.

 

Good point.

 

You can't blame the tires for flats. Just the nail that went in

 

I’ve heard nothing but good things. We actually make them in our tire plant. I work in our moto department so I don’t build these. Seems like the 265/75/16’s are mostly coming from our Thailand plant. For the price I’m going to get them at, I’m really gonna love them lol.


I really don’t care for these Goodyear’s. They aren’t good in rain or snow. And on sealed pavement they are noisy as all hell
