Duractrac vs Wildpeak

No love for General Grabbers?

 

Hey fellas... I’m gonna be running 16x7.5 fifteen52 wheels and I’m trying to figure out tires... I want something with a really aggressive look, but I want something light as well. I don’t do a ton of off-roading... The truck will be in Hawaii eventually and will need to manage a few trails to the beach, but 90% of my driving will be on road.

My original thought was 265/75/16 Duratracs in Load Range C. But now... I’m thinking Wildpeaks in the same size, but SL rated... I’m wondering if some of you more experienced Taco tire guys would agree... Are the wildpeaks the lightest aggressive looking tire for my needs ya think?

 

Pretty much, yeah. The Toyo Open Country AT3 also comes in SL and is even lighter than Wildpeaks size-for-size, but it's much more expensive.

 

Dura. Tracs!




C load has been great for me

 

I don’t mind spending the dough... I’d roll the Toyos in a second, but they don’t look all that aggressive to me. I really like the way the duratracs look, but they are a bit heavier... seems like wildpeaks are sort of a happy medium.

 

It came down to Wildpeaks and Ultraterrains for me. Ultimately, the UTs were cheaper/had a better deal when I was ready to buy, so I went with them. I've been very happy with them so far. You can see some pics of them here - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/goodyear-ultraterrain-at.563036/page-26#post-24077488

 

awe crap... I hadn’t heard of those yet...

 

I have a spreadsheet for you. Listed by weight.

My OCD thanks you profusely. Really rad.

 

Thanks. FWIW, the Pirelli keeps making it to the top of my short list. It's been the top rated AT tire on TireRack for over a year.

 

Im getting the,
Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus - 265/70R17 AT put on tomorrow so they made my list.

 

The Pirelli mud tire in 235/85R16 has caught my eye. Mostly because it is a load range C tire, which are hard to find in 16's.

 

If I were going over the SL rating I’d go straight for a load E w/3 ply sidewalls.

 

Please post pics and thoughts when you do!
