Lightweight all terrain tire

Doctored photo, but those are the ones.

 

In action!

 

Duratrac has a 255/75/17 in SL..only 40lbs.

 

Nice size.
Going narrower next time.

 

Firestone Destination AT

 

I just got off the phone with Hankook and at the size I'm looking for, the weight is 37 pounds. That is almost 13 pounds less than the ko2's! The falkens were 42 pounds, the coopers do not have my size. I'm still surprised at how much power these ko2's robbed.

 

Depends on the size I guess....I was talking 32's. I've never had a Hankook, just Duratracs and liked them. Falkens seemed ok too, but didn't see much snow this year

 

Just got off the phone with Firestone and in my size 265/65 17, the destination AT's are 38 pounds. I'm going to call Toyo and Goodyear next. Thanks everyone!

 

Not sure how accurate but they listed the Firestones at 42 lbs in the P load and 46 in LT

 

tire comparison shows 37lbs for a 30"

 

I thought this article --> https://expeditionportal.com/where-the-rubber-meets-the-road/ <-- did a reasonable job comparing some of the mainstream all-terrain tires (BFG KO, Dick Cepek, Falken Wildpeak, Grabber AT2, Wrangler AT Adventure, Toyo Open Country AT, and the Cooper AT3 ) and was worth a brief read. Like you, I have the Rugged Terrains which BFG no longer makes so I'll be looking for another brand when the time comes. Best of luck!

 

Thanks for the link, going to read it now. i have to admit these ko'2s look really good but I can't stand the power loss and the mpg will take a drop too.

 

A "C" tire is an LT tire. LT's come in load range C, D, and E.

If you want a lighter tire stay with a P rated tire. They are available in most of the common AT tires and for most people are more than adequate for a Tacoma. A P tire is rated to carry more weight than an C rated LT tire and the same as a D rated LT tire. The only advantage LT's offer is a tougher sidewall if you are into off road driving where your sidewalls are in contact with a lot of rocks. E rated tires are designed for heavy duty 3/4 and 1 ton trucks.

 

The Wildpeak at/3 is a good tire. I got a 265/70/18 in a SL so I didn't see much of a loss in power and my gas mileage has stayed roughly the same, which I'm happy with considering it's basically a 33" tire.

 

I'm running the General Grabber AT2 in a 265/65/17 and I believe they weight in at 40.5 lbs

 

I did a lot of research for my next tire/wheel setup and tire weight was a major factor. I drive 99% highway and maybe a dirt road here and there. I've decided on the Cooper Discoverer AT3 in 265/70/17 because of the reviews. SL load is all I need currently and is only 41 lbs, $115.

Terra Grapplers were a couple of pounds lighter but didn't seem to perform as well in mud, and more expensive.

Wildpeak was I think 2 pounds heavier.

 

Came here to say Cooper AT3's in a C rating as well. I had a P-rated set I bought used in a 255/75/r70 that I really liked, but they don't make that size in a C-rated and I wanted that extra protection after destroying the P-rated ones (it wasn't their fault, just hit a semi truck chain-link hidden in the snow and ripped the sidewall). I have the 275/75R17's now, but wish they made the 255 in a C-rated. They are a bit heavier and wider for commuting, but great in the wet up here in the PNW.

 

I'm all about having lightweight tires that also perform the way I need them to.

Here's my current list of lightest AT tires:

Dynapro ATM 265/70/17 - 39 pounds (currently on truck for last 40k miles, I love them. Great on and off road, and have treated me well in the rain and snow)
Dynapro ATM 285/75/16 - 56 pounds (10-ply)
Dynapro ATM 285/70/17 - 61 pounds (10-ply)

Falken Wildpeak A/T3W LT285/70/17 - 51 pounds

Cooper S/T MAXX 255/80/17 - 58 pounds
Cooper S/T MAXX 285/70/17 - 60 pounds
