Recommend me some Truck Tires

[JBecker 72]

I've got the BFG AT KO2's on my Tacoma. Pretty happy with them after 4,000 miles.

I have Toyo on my 3/4 ton and am really happy with them.

I had Toyo Open Country A/Ts on my old Tundra many years ago and they performed well. I did not get the miles out of them that I get with the BFGs but they were tons cheaper.

I also ran a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/Ts on my old 99 Silverado and those too lasted pretty well and never got a flat.

In order to really avoid flats, you really have to go to a Load Range E tire or something similar. You give up ride but you gain much more protection against flats. The BFGs I ran on my 06 Tundra 4WD were Load Range E and although they rode a tad rough and were a little heavy duty for a 1/2 ton...I never saw a flat tire, ever.

I know the T/A KO's are not cheap but tires is one place I refuse to cheap out...sorry.

I have been leaning towards an E-rated tire as well. One of my concerns is giving up some MPGs from additional weight. Ride quality...zero flips given. I know the price goes up with the E-rating, but I am to the point where money is "almost" no object when it comes to some new kicks for the truck.

Hankook Dynapro ATM [/endthread]

Super tread life with amazing traction in all conditions. Tread cleans easy (no, not at a car wash). They call Mesquite and Honey Locust thorns 'chumps' as they shrug them off. One of the few true all terrain tires out there.

Have had these on my 4Runner for two years and are barely worn. Quiet too.

People love to split hairs with mileage in a pickup but hey...it is a V8 4WD full size truck. It is not going to get good mileage! People that are THAT hung up on mileage really need to reassess if they need a pickup or not and maybe go to a car.

I lost about 2mpg going 3 sizes up to the 34" BFGs but the protection, grip and the performance of these tires trumps a few bucks at the pump.

The tires I got are ones that Discount Tire regularly keeps in stock and they price them pretty competitively. I am running a 275-65-R20 All Terrain T/A, load range E. Since I have a 3/4 ton....I pretty much have to run an E tire.

E rated aren't always more. Many times they cost less. There are more Vehicals that call for E rated tires and more are made in that load rating. For me the D rated Duratracs cost more than the BFG TA/KO2s in the size I wanted.
They ride a little harder over bumps and stuff on the highway, just run them at like 35 psi on the F150

That is the exact size tire and load range I am running on my 3/4 ton diesel. Mine are Toyos though.

You're looking for a 3 ply all terrain tire?

Goodyear makes a few with Kevlar, they're super heavy and probably not worth the additional cost. The Duratrac is very popular on Jeeps but I feel like the sidewalls are just not up to the task but its much lighter than many others out there.

The best tires on the market in my opinion are whats offered by BFG. I currently run BFG All Terrain TA/KO2s on my JKU. Its my daily driver and my trail rig. People typically get about 50k on the originals if you do your part (rotos/ balancing/ air pressure ect.)
If your looking for something more agressive the KM2 is the shit. But its louder and wont handle wet roads as well. They will also wear faster.

FWIW a stiffer sidewall will let you air down more and still maintain some sidewall integrity while making the contact patch more flexible.

What are you damaging your tires on? Rocks and stumps?

I second the BFG All Terrain K/O's.

I have run those on many pickups, including my current 2013 GMC 2500 4x4. Went to a 34" tire and had to put a levelling kit on the front end to keep them from rubbing. Looks great and rides great, too. Not nearly as dinky as those small stock tires.

Never seen a flat with these tires...ever. Don't think I'd ever run anything else on a 4WD pickup.

How do these BFGs do in the snow, I need new tires for this winter, for my JK, and will go skiing.
