Recommend some A/T tires

Got some new rims coming. 17 x 8.5. So I have to get some new tires.

Stock ride height, will level the truck soon though.

Was looking at Nitto Terra Grapplers. Thoughts?

Some for highway and dirt.

 

Look into Cooper ST MAXX I just got mine installed 3 days ago and they are great and very quiet tire

 

265/70/17 is the biggest tire you can put on stock.

Never heard anything good about Nittos.

K02s
Duratracts
StMaxxs
AT3s

Are the most popular here it seems.

 

These are the tires ST MAXX 255/85r16. I have a 2 inch lift in the front and stock in the rear.

 

FN rims?

 

Yep Konig Countersteer Offroad 16x8

 

^agreed.
Wanted to get st maxxs but just couldn't justify the price. I really like my AT3 in C rating. Balance well, good traction and deep tread.
For looks KO2 or the maxxs

 

I think Maxxs would be the best ideal all terrain tire for me but holy cannoli how does someone swallow that price? For $50 bucks cheaper PER TIRE I could get STPros. Backwards logic imo.

 

Michelin AT2

 

I have Toyo R/T 285/65/18
3" front lift 2" rear.

 

I would strongly suggest avoiding the Nitto Terra Grapplers if you live where it rains a lot. I've got them on my truck and wet traction sucks. Nearly wiped out a couple of weeks ago going around a sweeping 90 degree turn. Tires just let go and I slid into the next lane. Luckily the road was 3 lanes wide, and I was in the inside lane.

I had Michelin AT before these, and I didn't have any issues with them.

 

These tires should last for a good 6-8 years. If you look at this way spending $950 for tires that will last for 7 years isn't a big cost.

 

I drive across country a lot and offroad a good amount so I doubt I'd get 7 years on any tire. Sucks but that's the sad truth.

 

Yeh depends on the driver and how they drive. So not everyone will get 6 years out it.

 

Seems the Nittos arent recommended. Im glad I asked. They do look good though.

Lots of choices. The Maxxis sound good, but IDK about almost $250 a tire. Its ridiculous how much tires cost now. You know they have a huge markup. Theyre more than the rims!

 

Toyo AT2s are reasonably priced and have pretty decent on road manners. I ran them on my 03 before i upgraded, and they were great.

I've currently got cooper Discoverer AT3s in 265/70/17 and they've been wearing well, though, in all honesty they haven't seen much dirt since I've had this truck.

 

Toyo and nitto are the same company . Actually toyo is the cheaper of the 2. Im not knocking them i run open countrys AT have been for over 6 year and i love those tires. Next set will be the coopers thou or the falkens

 

I have zero complaints with firestone destination a/t 's . I'm just running stock. Do a bit of light offroad mudding

 

I'm currently rolling on 265/70/17 Hancook Dynapro atm. I paid $125 per tire and the grip is amazing. A little more road noise than the out going tires I had, Goodyear adventure Kevlar, but that tire was a joke of an AT, more all season. No grip anywhere but pavement.
