Best AT tire for gas mileage & longevity?

https://www.michelinman.com/auto/tires/michelin-ltx-a-t2

 

+ for defenders.....smooth as silk and tuff.....good traction in the snow.......and last long time which means a good value

 

What are you guys getting mpg wise? I feel like mines already back averaging around 18 or with stock everything

 

Can you message me

 

LTX AT2 ?

 

LTX AT2?

 

Michelin LTX AT2 or Defender LTX MS

 

That’s the tires that I wanted to get, but I’m getting 255/80/17 wildpeaks installed on Saturday! It’s quite a bit of wait for the Toyos.

 

AT’s come in SL.

Also, check your weights. I went from a 265 SL Wild Peak wide tire to a 245 E Rated Toyo ATIII and ended up with a lighter and more durable tired while keeping the same clearance and adding some traction in certain conditions. Less weight can have an improvement on MPGs. I have a slide in camper so I require an E rated tire. Usually those are reserved for full sized truck due to payload capacity.

Bottom line, there are a shit load of sizes, widths, and weights, all with different tread patterns and different rubber compounds with pros and cons. Get the ones that looks the coolest and call it a day.

But really, find some with a good tread warranty, possible they’ll last a bit longer, Compare weights, hard to tell if there will be more rolling resistance. You may sacrifice traction for something that gives you 1-2 more MPG’s depending on what size you go with.

Then theirs the 3 Peak AT’s vs the pure Winter Tire to consider…

 

i had this tire ........ltx - they may call it something diff in other sizes

 

Had a set of Nokian Rotiiva's on my work Silverado and they were great. But they were made in Russia. So F them.

 

I got almost 6 years and 90k on my first set and they still had 8/32'nds on them. 20-21 MPG all the time but that's on my 4 cylinder Prerunner.

 

I am still on my OEM Firestone Destinations and love them. I get good mileage, good traction in snow and very quiet.

 

What kind of camper?

 

Wildpeaks made in china so there is that too.
Toyo and Nitto USA made now. Michlin er french le pew...

 

Can't go wrong with a set of Continental TerrainContact A/T's. They are a great bridge between a very aggressive A/T tire and a road tire. I've had a set for a couple of years and would definitely buy them again. Check 'em out:

I'm interested in how these look! Photos after install please!

I like the KO2s...and I also looked at Wildpeaks as secondary choice.

 

I run the same tires, so happy with them I’ve got some 35’s on order for my Jeep. I’ve never gotten 60000+km on any other tires and still had grip and no notable noise.

 

Kimbo Camper. We have a few other owners on here too. Set up a thread.

Any luck on narrowing down the selection?
