What tires should I get for a 2017 stock Tacoma Limited for mild off roading

I keep hearing more and more good things about Falken's

 

At that price I was a bit sceptacle but I am liking them so far. They balanced well and ride smooth. I've only had them for a week thought so time will tell. This weekend I should get them a little dirty

 

I have 315/70/17 Duratracs on my Rubicon and they have been amazing tires. Will definitely put them on my Tacoma. Easily worth the money.

 

You didn't like the ST Maxx enough to buy again?

 

Any MT will be far superior than any AT in any environment except pavement. I recommend the Wrangler MTR with Kevlar if available in your size due to the asymmetrical tread.

General Grabbers are a great AT that are almost an MT, they are cheap and have great reviews.

 

I had cooper AT/3 and they suck in snow. currently have KO2 and couldn't be happier myself

 

I'm not an offroad except at all but what I have done personally previious on my Tundra is have two sets of wheels. One set is the stock wheel with stock tires, when stock tires wear out, get some highway all season tires for normal driving, something with a good warranty for mileage, will handle will on the road. Then on 2nd set of wheels go full on mud tires. That way u can swap wheels easily. And mud tires are expensive and wear out much more quickly if used as a daily driver on pavement etc.. This way you get best of both, instead of middle of road cost and performance.

 

KO2 all the way.

 

General Grabber AT2's. I love mine

 

An MT is superior to an AT except on the street, sand, hard packed snow or ice, or pretty much anything that is hard packed.

315/70r17 KbrO2's for the win.

Asking for tire advice online is like trying to find a trash can in San Francisco...

 

I have to disagree on sand and snow. MT works fine in the dunes and I ran MT in Colorado daily driving 9500 feet above sea level.

 

But how will you let everyone that you're a serious wheeler when you're mall crawling?

 

And are they good when pulling a small enclosed trailer at around a 3,000 pound load?

 

Not a stereotypical AT tire but I got 265/75/16 Yokohama Geolander G015 for right around 600 out the door from Big O. Not super aggressive but a big jump from SR5 stocks and fits the bill for my 75% boring daily driver/ 25% lightweight to mild off 4x4 and camping trips in National Forests

 

And who said smitty always has something negative about the tacoma...

 

I also was skeptical about the wildpeak AT3s.

So far no complains, about 5k on them... no premature wear, quite, and good off-road. So far the best tire I've had on-road and the second best I've had off-road. (2nd to the General Red labels.)

 

OP. I struggle with this myself. I like the wheels on the Limited model. So I want to save my wheels and save $$ but put on more off road capable tires. When you upgrade can you post pics
