Best AT tire in rain for tacoma offroad?

What is the best rain soaked pavement tire? I suspect a summer performance tire.

 

The Continental ATs get good marks. I’ve never used them though.

Same here over here in Van. Going into my 3rd winter with them. Very good in the recent heavy snow, slush now atmospheric rivers.

 

They save their profit they could spend on advertising to sell false hopes and dreams of a sensible tire and pass the savings on to you. In reality, when my Good Years wear out, I'll be getting Michelins because they are worth it or Falkens because they look pretty and get good reviews and take the hit on MPGS.

 

what does white lettered mean

 

The equivalent of white walls on a truck.

 

how do they do in mud?

 

the best look ever

 

thank you

 

No AT will do well in the mud unless you start looking at wide tread void models which generally results in poorer road manners.
I have been a fan of the duratrac and yoko G017. Many years on duratracs without issue. I'm one winter in on my G017's but they have seen a variety of conditions snd have been happy overall.

 

That was about 10 years ago.

Now I don’t ever clean my tires so black wall it is:

I'd wager that any quality AT tire would do well in the rain.

 

Siping on that tire is incredible.

 

Describe the mud. General muddy trail just fine, but other than that not great. What you described as your use it is the perfect tire and is quiet and rides and handles great. If you want a tire to handle decent amount of mud than this is not the tire and you will sacrifice greatly in other areas.

 

10 ply Defenders and carry Ubar chains for mud. Boom. Invincible.

 

Tire selection is always a compromise.
AT tires aren’t always the best rain tires. AT tires are often poor in mud.

There are better tires if your main concern is rain.
