Baylaker Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Currently running Toyo open country AT2’s. Quite possibly the worst tire I’ve ever had. Looking for new tires in the fall and considering all seasons for my 2500HD. I don’t care about looks, I want performance, longevity and definitely something quiet & comfortable. What are you running on your trucks? Quote
Baylaker Posted July 20 Author Posted July 20 They’re noisy, and get louder as they continue to wear. They’re not a comfortable tire, I feel every little bump. They have worn incredibly fast even though I rotate them every year. And I’ve been stuck twice with them in the span of a year. I’ve never been stuck before lol. These toyos are junk, I’ll never buy them again. Quote

I know you say you dont like the Toyo's but, look at their AT3 offering. I put close to 55,000 on my Tacoma since 2020, with their at3, no complaints. Looking at replacing them now too. Also look into the Cooper Discoverer line, I have those on my Sierra 2500 and they have been great. I have heard good things about the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 as well, they are 3 peak mountain snow rated too (great winter traction). Good luck in your choice. Ski 1 Quote
Blackstar Posted July 21 Posted July 21 I'm currently running Cooper Discoverer AT#'s on my work truck. BFG AT's on my pretty truck. I find the Cooper's ride better, wear seems ok, not concerned about traction as I don't run either in the winter. I buy what ever is cheap at the time I need to buy. Bought the Coopers on red tag clearance from Crappie Trash. My buddy just bought a set of them China tires you see on Facebook. $1000 for 4- 12.50x35/20's. He says "why spend more? They balanced up nice and look great. " We shall see how they last. I have a buddy who owns a Repair shop and he swears by Toyo's. He says everything else is garbage these days. It's all he sells. Too steep for me though. 1 Quote

Whatever tire you go with, make sure the tire store has a road force balancer, and they really know how to use it. Have your tires road force balanced. It costs more for the service (about 100 or so per set in the US) but, doing it eliminates the chance of a bad tire, vibrations from tires, tells you if a rim is bad etc... GM mandated all dealers to get this technology to avoid tire/wheel issues causing vibrations. Ski 2 Quote

stoney Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Funny enough, I just bought a set of new rubbers for my 2500HD. I’ve seen on some trucks falken wildpeak A/T4W so did some research and sounded like a good tire, so went with them. Still new, but they feel pretty damn good on the road, over bumps, etc… Last set was duratrac, they were not so good to me, my first set were really good and why I bought them again, but they were not the same great tire. I’ve never heard a bad review of the Toyo open country AT III 1 Quote
Baylaker Posted July 25 Author Posted July 25 I’ve also heard the Toyo 3’s are better than the 2’s, but I’m done with Toyo. I’ll have a look at those falken wild peaks. Quote
skidooboy Posted July 25 Posted July 25 If you go to the tacoma forum the gen3 truck guys either love or hate the wildpeaks. All tires are like that. Well, almost everything you buy is like that. Best thing is to do your research. Have a great wholesaler, retailer, or shop you trust when you do purchase something so, if something goes wrong, you have local help. Ski Quote

Plus, I think they all adjust there manufacturing process along the way, some just more then others..and why the same tires bought on separate occasions can be different, but vehicles suspension also gets tired causing different results. For me, the reviews of the wildpeak were good and they were on sale at the place I buy from, so bonus. I imagine not many buy an LT tire for a Tacoma, another factor in how tires feel and the reviews. 1 Quote

Sksman Posted August 9 Posted August 9 I have Falken Wildpeak AT3W that I ran as winter tires for 2 seasons and now have left on my truck for the summer. I would guess 65 or 70,000km on them i have D rated version on my GMC 1500. I have run about 2/3 tread off them Still quiet. No issues. I have noticed some age cracking in sidewall They are 3 years old since I had them Not sure how long they might have sat in warehouse before. I figure I have this summer and one more in them. AT4W are suppose to be better! I did buy dedicated winters last year Bridgestone Blizack LT and really loved the dedicated winters as I spend a fair bit of time driving northern Ontario and Quebec in winter. 2 Quote
