All terrain tire recommendations?

Blizzaks are the most lousy wearing tire I've ever personally experienced in my life. wore down for me like they were made of wax. I keep my tires rotated.

 

Yeah they’ve been great for me as winter tires but if you drive them in warm weather it’s true they’ll wear prematurely. They’re probably not that great at high speeds for wear either. The whole point of a winter tire is for them to be soft. I use mine in winter and pull them off ASAP in spring. They work great - unbelievable really. You can go anywhere with common sense and winter tires. I’m not a brand loyalist or a salesman for Bridgestone. I’m sure there are other brands that perform well also. It’s not the brand, it’s the fact that they’re designed to be soft and grippy in cold weather.

 

Very true. Blizzaks are awesome for what they're designed to do. They're not really intended to be put on for "the winter" in the lower 48 for the 4 slippery days a month when the roads aren't plowed and all the other days are pretty much normal winter conditions. That's what all season radials are for.

They're designed to be used ON snow and ice. Anything else will cause the tires to wear prematurely. The more you're not on snow or ice, the faster they will wear.

I think sometimes people expect them to run like an all-season tire but with better winter performance. That's not the case at all.

 

You can look in the Market place thread on this forum, sometimes there are good deals.

Factory width on limited is 245 and offset is 15. If you go TRD rims with offset 4 and 265/70/R17 tires they will rub

 

throwing my $.02 in for BF Goodrich KO2's.

 

Awesome! I love that Blue exterior, and the avatar

 

I've used General Grabber AT2’s and Goodyear DuraTrac's (265-70-17). I have a steep mountain rock covered driveway at 3800' elevation, and both do very well off road and in deep snow.

 

I just switched from the OEM Bridgestones to KO2's on my '19 TRD ORP. Only road driving so far but no complaints. No extra noise that I have noticed and they certainly look better.

 

Sorry TRD in PDX, just noticed this question! I like Duratracs, I had them on a 2015 Tacoma as a summer tire. They worked great off road, and were respectable at highway speeds, not unduly noisy. A big part of large luggy tires is to keep them aligned and balanced, especially aligned. If you're driving off road, you bump and crawl over obstacles and its easy to get misaligned. Then once you get a little cupping on your tires, sometimes not even visually noticeable - they get noisy. You'll see common complaints on here that such and such tire like a BFG or Duratrac is noisy when basically they're pretty quiet. A lot of guys cheap out on alignments, I get it, you don't see it, like you do when you put on an accessory like a new light bar or some sliders. But being religious about alignments goes along with being off road, and it makes a difference, especially at highway speeds.
