I have Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac’s, they are great in the snow. Good on the highway too, no tire noise. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who has to deal with snow.

 

BFG K02’s. They’ve been great but I definitely lost some fuel economy, especially at interstate speeds.

 

Duratracs on here too. Much better for towing on the service roads as well as traction wet, dry and snowy.
Maybe it's a Canadian thing...

 

Lol. Too funny! Yeah man duratracs are a big hit with many owners, as with ko2’s! I lost some faith in bfgoodrich with the at series but I cannot speak for the ko2’s personally. I had dynapros outperform my bf’s on my suv years ago. And of course we will all lose mpg switching to the e rated tire. The weight on the toyos is another bonus being one of the lightest so I’m hoping I don’t get killed with my gas mileage. Where’s the Mickey Thompson fans, gotta be a couple out there!

 

I am on my second set of K02’s on my lifted Wrangler, the first set was a set of brand new take offs from a Ford Raptor and are load range C, they wear like iron.
I’m still on my original general’s but will start looking in the next couple of months as I’m approaching 30,000 miles. I’d like to see if the K02’s in my current size in a C range. My 2018 Titan go a set of Michelin Defender LTX highway tread and we’re excellent tires, two 1200 mile rides to Florida and back and zero complaints.
I’m trying not to go load range E as I don’t go off road and the stouter sidewalls will make the ride harsher.

Just bought Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 tires for my 18 Pro-4X. Was looking at Toyo's, but at $236 each for the Revo's could not justify the price difference. Was looking at the Revo, Firestone Destination X/T and the Toyos's, and sprang for the Revo's.

 

Went with the KO2’s a few months ago. Stiffer sidewall definitely decreased the floaty feel of the P4X ride. Gas mileage is slightly decreased. Looking forward to how they perform in the snow. 55K warranty…

You can’t beat how they look! Any more road noise?

I do not notice any more road noise with the BFG’s

 

Hankook Dynapro AT2

 

Cooper AT3 XLT 305/55r20

Haven’t had them in anything besides some snow, but they’ve been great in dry and wet road conditions. They do ride a bit stiff, but handling is good. Probably have 15k on them and the tread is still substantial. Could easily get 50k-60k if I keep them that long.
Good luck buying tires now. I called today about some 285/65r20’s and they quoted me $1700 out the door.

 

I liked the quiet ride of the Nitto Ridge Graps on my XD but the wet weather performance is horrible… slid all over the road when wet..

I want an LT tire that does good in rain!!

 

Let me start by saying I have never liked Firestone or Bridgestone tires. However, my truck came with a new set of the Firestone XT tires and I have been pleasantly surprised. Not sure I'd intentionally have another set but you never know when the price is right. Overall, very quiet and performed well in sand, snow and normal wet/dry roads. Mine are 35x12.50r18.

 

Now if only Ford Chevy and Ram owners would give a Titan a chance they’d be pleasantly surprised like you with those Firestone tires.

Well sounds like most of you are happy with your tires despite Kennedyxd getting no wet traction. I did hear the one weakness of the nitto was wet. But not just nittos either. And man, hankook dynapro is the underdog that I think kicks some as-! People love their cooper at3 and wildpeak also. Both on my radar at the time before I pulled the trigger. And your damn right, quality tire availability is low and prices won’t reflect that soon. Only two shops in my city could get toyos after les Schwaab told me they can’t even order them anymore!

 

Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar

 

Factory size on 18x9. 50psi front 48psi rear (cold)

 

U have a lift? How much of an mpg impact have you noticed on the hwy

 

Bought my Titan used with Goliath tires that were noisy and rough as all get out. Upgraded to Cooper Evolution M/T's and couldn't be happier! I do a mix of short city trips, towing our center console boat and 2 hour highway commutes to and from work. They have an aggressive look, but run smooth and quiet. This is my 3rd set of Coopers. 2 sets were on a Tundra I had before my Titan. I swore off ever buying Nittos again after a set I had on a Dodge 4x4 deteriorated in ride quality before the tread wore out.

 

Cooper Discovery AT3 4S (275/60-20) Love them so far, ride nice, seem tough, quiet, good detailed testing/review on Tire Rack. I have about 10k on them, Towed 6k trailer 1000 miles and they are great towing. They have a snowflake symbol so should be good in snow but its still like summer here in Colorado this year so not tested. Great price. The Discovery comes in 4S, LT, XLT (from soft to hard). If I was towing a lot and had the 18" wheels I likely would have bought the LT tires (made for 250 class truck).

 

Remind me which rims you're running, SugarMouth? That black beadwork makes your tires look huge. Might need to order a set for my 2011. I'm up a size from the 275/70r18 you're running, at 295/70r18, and I wonder if they'd look the same with the black beadwork and silver finish rim.

Many thanks, I'm glad to hear that they resist hydroplaning! BTW, I'm originally from New Castle, PA, and lived in Erie for a couple of years. We've been in Tennessee for a dozen years now.

 

I'd like to get out of PA and the northeast. Been to Tennessee a few times on the bike. Wife and I always talk about moving there.

 

FWIW, I think Tennessee is a great place and we have never looked back! I miss a few people and a few restaurants, but we live a better life in TN than we did in PA...good weather has a much bigger affect on my attitude than I ever expected!!

 

If your truck is limited to pavement pounder status, and you don't haul or tow, P-series tires will be fine. Haul loads in the bed (be it motos or mulch or whatever) or tow anything heavier than 3000lbs and LT tires will be a wise choice. Do much dirt driving? LTs will be a better choice for durability and puncture resistance. Like anything, it's about choosing the right tool for the job.

I'd also argue that in most of the country (in terms of land area, not population), folks use trucks for things which are better served with LT tires than P-series.

For my own use, I can give a good comparison on P versus LT for towing. I had the OEM P-series on my 2011 Pro4X for 42k miles, and towed a 3500-4000lb Scout Troop Trailer once a month. For anything longer than about 25min, I hated how the truck handled and how it towed. I swapped up to an E-load range LT in the OEM size and towing manners changed dramatically for the better. Unladen ride was not as soft, but not uncomfortable at all. Now I have a 5500-6000lb wakeboat which gets towed locally (30-45min from the house to the ramps) and long distance (>500mi round trip) several times a year. I've towed it with my Titan on E-load range tires, and with my wife's 2017 Expedition with P-series tires. When we take long trips, she's always hitched to the Titan. Road manners for a long tow are so much better with the LTs than my wife's Expy wearing P-series tires.

Mark Twain famously said, "If the only tool in your box is a hammer, all your problems will look like nails." Use the right tool for the job.

 

Never had a flat with an LT. Several over the years with P’s. Might be coincidence, but I don’t think so. Used to work construction and had LT’s all over crappy job sites. Pulled a nail out of a LT tire and didn’t even have to patch or plug it.

That being said, almost all larger than stock tires are LT so you don’t have a choice if that’s what you’re wanting to do.

 

30k on my stock Grabbers… Truth in advertising because they have “grabbed” 4 nails so far!! Lol..

 

Gonna be hard pressed to find a good AT tire that isnt LT

 

I like the size. Less enthused about the tire I chose, as I have some roundness issues which cannot seem to get resolved. Warranteed the first set and ended up with similar issues with the second set. Considering having them trued to alleviate it, but the tread life sacrifice is huge at nearly $300 per tire.

You'll have to have some lift to make them fit as stock they'd rub, I'm sure. Not much lift, though. 2-3" up front and whatever you like out back and you're set.

For sure...I have the RC 6". You may remember you've helped me with some of my awful suspension problems since buying the truck. All seems good now.

 

You'll lose some mpg to the weight and added height over stock (but you're on 6" of lift so maybe added weight/height over stock isn't the calculation for you, as you may already have oversize tires?).

Now, that said, if I were sitting on 6" of lift, I'd be looking at 35x12.5 as my size class. The 295s I have will look more narrow and be at the shorter end of appropriate height for your lift.

Ride quality will be a little stiffer as you go up in load range, but not tremendously rougher.

Hydroplaning resistance is a function of tread design most of all, but tire width plays a role. Get a good AT tire which is designed to displace water and you'll be fine. You'll throw water everywhere and feel the resistance when you hit it, but you won't hydroplane much.

 

Thanks, no lift here, I barely clear to get in the garage stock.
