New Tire recommendations

I've been running the Good Year Wrangler Ultraterrain on my '16 for about a year.
So far, I'm very happy with them. Quiet and good traction in rain and snow.
Huge difference from the KO2's I had before.
Unfortunately only sold by Discount Tire.

 

No complaints from my Wildpeaks

 

+1 for Cooper AT3 4CS, 20k on mine and still quiet and grippy.

 

I went through two sets of Falkens, and now I have Toyo AT IIIs. The Toyos make more noise, but are incredibly comfortable. I hardly feel road textures any more and expansion joints are barely noticeable. From the moment I drove on these tires I was amazed by their comfort, and after 5 weeks I am still surprised by them. They also appear to get about 1 to 1.5 mpg better on the highway. I have the 4 ply versions, tire pressures are 35 psi.

 

I got Toyo Open Country AT3's. Haven't been through snow yet but really heavy rainstorms, mud, dirt and dry roads and have had 0 issues with traction. Had the stock GY Wrangler Kevlars on before I would get some traction loss in heavy rain.

Here's a good read on the Toyo AT3's.

Another for Wildpeaks. Fairly quiet, really good in wet, and they didn't let me down when we were buried in ice back in February. Mud and dirt have been good, but that wasn't really a surprise.

 

I have KO2s. I can't tell if they're noisy because the wind noise from my roof rack. I like them

 

I have been running Cooper ST MAXX 255/80 17.I have them on my Gen2 Toyota Tacoma. If you plan on using them offload and air them down, you will have to run pretty low pressures to get the grip. (12 - 14 PSI) due to the E-Rating and weight of the truck. The side wall is great on these tires, I have run them over some crazy terrain and they have held up very well. There is very few chunks missing and those that are, are very small. I normally run them at 34 PSI on the highway.

When these tires were new they were amazing in almost all types of terrain, highway, gravelly dirt, packed dirt, rocks, and mud. In snow they were just O.K. They are a bit on the heavy side @ 58 lbs new. They were very quiet compared to my old M/Ts when new.

I have put about 25k miles on them and the wear is not great ( I am currently at 6/32.) This is not a complaint just an observation because of my off-road use I suspect that played heavily into their wear.

They are now measurably louder at highway speeds (you will hear the drone) although still not as bad as my older M/Ts were with similar wear. They have lost quite a bit in terms of grip off-road, they are not great on looser dirt/gravel roads and will slide around noticeably more. They are terrible on packed snow and ice. In fact I have a second set of tires I swap in the winter because these are so bad.(Blizzaks) They are now just ok on rocky terrain, but when aired down are still effective. They are also still very good on wet surfaces and heavy rain, (they still inspire confidence). I have not had them in any nasty mud in quite a while but I suspect they would still do fine.

In general the tires are decent and serve their purpose, In 25 K miles they have done pretty well but it feels like they are at end of life (even at 6/32) I am not going to buy another set when I am finished with these. For a lighter truck the sidewall is too firm (to be expected with an e-rating) and to some it will make the ride feel more harsh. I am thinking about switching to maybe the Nitto Ridge grapplers or the GY MT/Rs... I am also open to advice from folks. My limitation is that I want another set of 255/80r17s or 33X10.5 17s.

 

Why not look at the new Cooper Rugged Treks? I’m running 285/70/17 and they balanced beautifully right out of gate, minimal road noise, and have a really nice hybrid tread pattern.

 

I went for the Cooper At3 4S. They look good with the wheel spacers. Now to see how they perform....
