WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TIRE... AND WHY?

@hjstrater 7 ай бұрын

Just finished up a set of Wildpeaks, running KO2’s on the wife’s rig, but had to give the Baja Boss AT’s a shot this time around. so far really impressed with road manners for how aggressive the tire is. Looking forward to see how they handle snow.

I have been selling tires for over 35 years, I love tire reviews and I try to test as many tires as I can so I can recommend good tires to my customers. My favorite tire of all time is the Mickey Thompson Baja A/T, it excels in snow, eats mud for breakfast and is reasonably quiet. My last set was on a 2017 Chevy 3500 Diesel in 295/70R18 and I loved the tire. It is a heavy tire, but there is a lot of rubber on the ground. I ran numerous sets of Goodyear Duratracs and frankly I didn't think it was that great in the mud, and it seemed to wear quickly towing heavy on a diesel truck. When the tire got to about 50% wear, traction was poor. I am testing some Toyo R/T Trails on my current GMC 3500 Dually and so far they are doing well. I have pulled heavy trailers for over 1000 miles and the last trip was 300 miles of snow packed roads and the tire excelled in places where the snow was a little deeper on the highway. Hard pack snow and ice was about what you could expect, reasonable. I have always been a fan of the General Grabber ATX with studs for snow use and I agree with your conclusions about them. I have several sets of Toyo A/TIII on the road on customers vehicles right now and so far they like them. I also have many sets of BFG KO2's out there and some love them and some don't. As for mud tires, one of my favorites is the Mickey Thompson MTZ, I just put another set of 35-12.50-15's on my Jeep TJ and they set the bar in the mud especially when driven at around 10 psi.

How does your TJ handle those heavy tires? Regeared?

@WillyK51 6 ай бұрын

How much heavier is heavy Most tyres wheight about the same for size? If you go 35" the standard Dana 35 might be overwhelmed, a 44 can take it if you don't go crazzy, Push it to the limit get a Dana 60, Personaly for camping normal offroading a 33 Dia tire will get you everywhere(Reinforced sidewalls and biters a Plus, Rocks and roots will punture a sidewall) .And a standard engine will still be powerfull enough. Anyway if you need traction/power remember you have 4 Low with large tyres. Regearing isn't a priority, but if you only got 1 car for everything a 4.11 gear might help with 33" and mileage. Ups forgot to mention Get a STANDARD 5 Spd Tranny@@mfunes1494

Of all of the videos I watch about overlanding gear and equipment, I truly believe you do the best reviews. You don't give any indication of your preference, while just providing an honest, straight forward assessment of any product you're discussing. I've been watching tire videos for the past 12 months and I'm about to buy a set. The two videos you did on AT tires are the best. You've helped me make my decision. Thanks for the work you put into your videos!

@OutdoorAuto 7 ай бұрын

This makes my day… I really have never been a “brand preference” person. No one company can dominate at everything… so it really comes down to personal use. Lots of good tires out there just need to pick the one that matches your use. Trying to help people figure that out… not doing it perfectly… but trying 🤷‍♂️

@davidhaywood9794 6 ай бұрын

I was a huge KO2 fan boy for a long time and decided to make the switch to the Baja Boss AT after seeing how aggressive they looked. I could'nt be happier, they ride super smooth and are still quiet on the highway. I get tons of compliments on them.

Falken WildPeak AT3s. Unless you are doing some serious mudding or deep snow wheeling, these tires are amazing. I am on my 3rd set, I got 80k miles out of my first set (to be fair they were cupping at that point) and 72k miles out of my second. They have relatively low road-noise (for an AT), wet weather handling is second to none (I live in the northwest of WA state, so it's always wet) and usually I can't even feel that the road is wet, snow traction is amazing (I live at the base of Snoqualmie Pass and am an avid skier). I have personally driven that pass when it was snowing so hard, even with constant plowing, there was 6 inches of snow on the highway. And these tires drove through it without issue. More importantly, I usually spend 8 to 10 hours on Saturdays offroading (there are hundreds of miles of forest service roads in this area). These tires never want for traction, unless it's super deep snow/mud (moderate snow/mud is no problem), but no AT is going to shine in those situations. Dropping your tire pressures down to 9psi to 12psi makes up for most of this lack of traction. I usually run 9psi while offroading and these tires just take the hours of offroading without issue. So far I have never done a side wall (knock on wood). On my second set, there were two deep gashes in the side walls, but they never progressed past being surface gashes. I have gotten a few punctures, but all but one of these were nails off the road. And all of them were easily fixed with a plug. Are there tires that could outperform the AT3s in specific areas, sure. But I have not found another tire that can perform so well in all conditions, as these tires do. I have been so impressed with these tires that every time I need new tires there is no question in my mind which ones I will get. The downside is that these are probably the most expensive ATs on the market. But you get what you pay for.

I have 70k on my MT Baja Boss ATs, and at 5/32 down the center and 8/32 on my 2015 Duramax running 295/70/18s, that's pulling a trailer 70% of its life, owning an RV rental company and taking long road trips from Texas to California once a year. These tires are the best all-around tires I have ever owned, hands down. Rain,Mud, Snow, Sand, it just eats it all up. I even pull my 32' RV trailer on the beach in Texas to camp with no problems; it never gets stuck. Those sidewalls are so amazing in sand and mud. Facts they take alot of weights to balance, and have them turn tire on rim and re-balance them. And are heavy tires and lost MPG from prior tires about 1-2 mpg. I'll take the lost to have such a amazing performance tire with 129 load index rating

I bought Toyo AT3s with the help of this video. You said be honest with your use. I’m a 90% road guy and a weekend fire road explorer. Previous tire was Toyo MT and absolutely hated them. Loved the look but I hated them once the weather turned bad in Reno. I literally would drive my minivan before my 4x4 truck in the winter. To be fair I bought the MTs used for half price so it was a money thing lol. Learned a lot.

Loved the video. Great mix of information and entertainment/production value to keep me engauged and interested the entire time. Probably one of the best tire review videos on KZfaq that didn't feel like a tire "sales" video. One part that I found very interesting was that you placed the Gen. Grabber ATX above the Wildpeak AT3W for snow performance, given how popular and widely regarded the AT3W is for its wet/snow performance, that's a pretty big achievement to be had for the Grabber ATX. I was just surprised by this, because in my opinion the General Grabbers appearance is very unasumming and I didn't expect it to have as outstanding snow performance as you state that it does in the video.

I'm just coming back from Alaska now after about a month and a half and then around the Arctic Circle. While, there hasn't been any deep snow , since leaving the Arctic Circle in Canada and heading over to Alaska and up to prudo Bay it is snowed quite a bit. Just last night we got three inches around fort Nelson, British Columbia. My Goodyear trail terrains have done an excellent job in the snow. The only time I need four-wheel drive is going up inclines off road. The traction and handling on these things are awesome. I think I'm going to go with the KO2 when I get back home to North Carolina. Let me know when you head up from Florida. If you need a driveway to pull into, I'm not too far away from Raleigh, North Carolina.

What would be your best pick for snow & ice 2. What would your top 3 picks be, based on the best all-around average? Personally I bought the Baja Boss, I'm mostly on road with lots of winter, but it gets sloppy in spring as well. So far EXTREMELY happy, after coming off years of mud tires. Also I like that you put the Duratrac guys in their place, all the construction guys run them around here "because they always have" Thanks again. Awesome content!

I've tried a handful of AT tires. Nitto Ridge Grapplers, Terra Grapplers, Cooper ATP II, Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP, and recently have General Grabber ATX. The Coopers were my favorite AT road tire, the Dick Cepek were my favorite AT/Hybrid tire for off-road. I have just shy of 4k miles on the General Grabber ATX that I got because I moved to the PNW from CA. They may be my favorite tires, we'll see once I can start off-roading with them.

I run the Toyo AT3 (E's) on my truck and tow a boat. With that said, I'm mostly highway but appreciate the aggressive tread when i get to my destination since many lake roads are often steep gravel / dirt / tree roots, etc. mix. It seems to do fairly well in heavy rain since the AT3's are fully siped (full lug depth) as opposed to the prior set of Toyo AT2's I ran.

I have Baja Boss A/T on my Ram 1500. They are the 34" tire. I just drove on I80 in Wyoming in a snow storm. The highway was closed but Highway Patrol let us go to Laramie from Cheyenne. For some distance it was not plowed and had six inches of snow on top of ice. They were phenomenal. Zero slipping. We had to drive around some semi's in deeper snow and a soft shoulder. Zero issue. I have also used them up in the mountain on bigger rocks. I absolutely would buy these tires again. I have had them for about 12000 miles and they are wearing great.

I live in Michigan and I regularly go off road in some pretty tough mud and clay, to get back to my hunting and fishing spots in northern Michigan. I do no rock climbing and I have never driven off road in a desert. I air down from 33psi (paved roads) to 20psi for my off-road excursions in Michigan. I have noticed that airing down any lower risks getting sand in the bead from the tires rocking side to side while in rough, heavily rutted muddy/watery terrain, causing bead leaks (mostly on my heavier Chevy truck). I also travel a lot on snowy roads in the winter. I am on my 4th set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs (2 different 4x4s), purchasing the latest in October 2023 -- 2 sets on my old '04 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4 (w/ G80 rear locker), and 2 sets on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Diesel (w/ Offroad Adventure II II/Quadra-Drive II). Have crashed offroad, and even once broke a rear axle on the Chevy getting back to my hunting spot, but I have never had a sidewall issue with any of the Duratracs (so far), and they stay remarkably quiet until about 40,000 miles after which I notice they do get louder on dry pavement at highway speeds. I change them out by 50K or a little sooner. For my type of off road/on road travel, I have yet to find a year-around all-terrain tire that (would appear to) perform as well -- warm weather/snowy winter/muddy off-road -- as the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs actually do for me. My local tire shop still recommends the Duratracs over the other all-terrain tires for my type of driving on the relatively "light" vehicles that I am driving -- no "super heavy-duty" pickup trucks.

I bought a set of the baja boss AT's back in April of 2022, and they've been great for me, they're surprisingly quiet and smooth on the road, I put 500 miles a week on them consistently and they have done very well in the snow, ice, wet roads, slush, puddles, and off road. I will be getting another pair!

@camaroboi13 I'm a little over 42,000 miles on them and they are just about at the end of their life they've got a little less than 3/32" of tread above the "wear marks" on the tire. So I'd say they've made it to their 50k mile warranty. It's been almost 2 years since I've got them. My truck is a 2011 Toyota tacoma. The tire size is 265 70 17's load E

Recently bought thr MT Baja Boss A/T and theyve been very quiet, aggressive during a trip to the most remote town in the lower 48, Jarbidge, Nevada. Miles and miles of dirt track/forest service road, up and down some steep sections, and switchbacks. Very sure footed and no drama. Now we've had a bit of snow, and it crunched over snow and crusty ice without any delay. Just drive with reasonable prudence and you won't have any problems.

Interesting about the Falken Wildpeaks. We run the A/T Trails on our Subaru Ascent. We've done numerous offroad trips (thousands of miles now?), including part of the BDR trails in Utah (through Moab as well) and Washington state. We've taken them through mud, dirt, rock, gravel, dry and wet, everything in between and they have been absolutely amazing. Performed far better than I ever expected, until..... last weekend, we took them with a group up into the fresh powder (about 18" fresh and actively snowing). A Toyota Tacoma was lead vehicle (we were first on the trail, so the Tacoma was plowing), we were 8th out of 9 vehicles and we were the only vehicle to get stuck (3 times!), had to get a pull out each time. Everyone else had zero issues. So in the snow, these were very underwhelming. However, I am about to buy the Wildpeak AT3W within a day or two for another deeper snow run (probably closer to 2ft deep). I'm expecting a lot (of snow performance) out of the AT3W, we are also going from 245/60R18 to 265/60R18, so more sidewall and about 1" taller overall (29.6" up to 30.5"). Not huge tires by any means, but much deeper tread, slightly wider and taller. I think this will allow us to air down a bit more than usual too and also help us float on top of the snow a bit better. We plan on continuing to put miles on our A/T Trails (spring/summer/fall) and use the AT3W for winters until the A/T Trails are used up, then just run the AT3W year-round.

@OutdoorAuto 4 ай бұрын

Sounds like a solid plan... snows is tricky because it can present itself so many ways... I was just out in over 2 feet of snow that was pure unpackable dust... it was sub zero so nothing would stick... it was like driving in moon dust and pretty much no tire had traction... aired down to 2 PSI and just had to try to float as long as I could. We got stuck a lot...

I have a 2011 GMC 1500 and currently run General AT W and it has been a good tire. I buy 8 or 10 ply’s for my half ton because I have had 50 cent piece sized holes punch through Light Truck tires. Have not had a flat since going to 8 or 10s. Previous to this I had Cooper AT/W and found them to handle significantly better on road than the General (very spongy on road) and do better off-road as well, especially in deep snow. I can’t really speak to mud performance as I don’t do a lot of mud wheeling. The Generals were about $300 less per tire than the Cooper, so there is that. Got similar mileage out of both, but due for a new pair. Great video, might be going to the Mickey Thompson for my next set.

I have a 4Runner and have had both the General Grabbers 265/70/17 and the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 285/70/17 (3" lift required). The Generals were great on road and in snow but not great off-road or in mud. They were on my vehicle when I bought it. I put 18,000 miles on them and they wore well (some minor cupping) with 5000 mile rotation. I sold them (still plenty of tread left) when I added the lift and bought the Baja Boss. I have had the Baja Boss about 17,000 miles so far. They are larger and much heavier so I lost about 2MPG. They are surprisingly good on road and in rain/snow. Only slightly louder than the Generals and they were pretty quiet. They are far better off road and I feel very confident with their toughness. I don't do a lot of rock crawling, mostly camping and Overlanding but I have had them in rocks, sand, mud, snow and many dirt/gravel rutted roads. The tread isn't cut or damaged and seems to be wearing well without much increase in noise. It seems my experience is similar to yours. I haven't used the others but have heard good things about the Wildpeaks from people in my 4Wheeling groups. Nice to see an actual long term test on tires without the corporate spin. Keep up the good work! Maybe we will see each other on the trails someday...Traveling Man.

@uddyalok23 20 күн бұрын

For the M/T are you running a E-rated tire or the Standard Load? Wondering if I can get away with SL to compensate for some of that weight (49 lbs for the SL vs 65 lbs per tire for the E). I currently have E-rated KO2 275/70/17 weighing about 55 lbs a piece so hesitant on further degrading the mileage and straining other components with an additional 40 lbs weight all around. Thanks in advance.

I’m running Kenda Klever RT KR601 33x10.50r17 currently on my Tacoma. It’s been a great overall except for ride quality and weight. Especially noticeable on a small truck like a Tacoma.

@@OutdoorAuto I’ve been pretty impressed with them over the last 10k or so. They are more quiet than I expected. But since the are an E-Load rated tire, they ride like a brick. So far they’ve done pretty well in dry and wet, snow is decent but not the best out there and off road has been pretty awesome, but I try to avoid mud so I don’t personal experience there. Also, the 33’s are around 65lbs each, so on a Tacoma you can definitely feel it and notice it in fuel mileage.

For my application, they felt far superior to the Michelin X Ice I had on for a winter season.

I should also say, on my Subaru they made 0 road noise, even at 100+ mph and handled incredibly well at these high speeds surprisingly. The 33’s I just put on my sequoia have about 10k miles on them since I bought them used, but even at 80mph there’s some noise but it’s just as much as the Goodyear Wrangler ATS I had on before. AND each tire balanced out with less than 2oz per tire even after 10k miles on the rear of a dually.
