Tires
I have always been a die hard BFG TKO guy, having bought three sets in the past. When I purchase my new TOY I might go with a different all terrain. I see alot of guys on here use the NITTO or TOYO brands. I like the look of those tires but I don't want to hear the constant, loud hum of a tire. I really don't know much about these tire brands either. My BFG's on my current Silverado are a good tire and do hum a bit. Not too bad of a hum but would not want anything louder. Any suggestions on a good all terrian? Pictures would be awesome too although I have seen most on here.

The Nitto's, Toyo's, and BFG Ko's are all good tires. The Nitto is going to be the cheapest out of the bunch. The Nitto's ride a little stiffer out of the three. Have you considered the Firestone Destination AT. It is a very good tire. Great on/off road traction.

I've been happy with my Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors (siped)...very quiet,solid sidewall,winter traction is slighty less than siped BFG AT. Next winter I'll have dedicated winter wheels/tires. Unless something better comes along, Il'll replace the SA's with more of the same. Iv'e used the Toyo AT's and would recommend them as well (load range D or E) for 3-season use. Considering your desire for gnarly-looking...why not stick with BFG AT or MT? If winter traction isn't an issue, anything with a premium carcass will be OK.

Im just looking for something different. I had a Cherokee Sport, Ram and now a Silverado with the BFG At's. Saw the Nitto and Toyo's on this site and really liked the look. I just wondered if they are quality. Also curious as to what else could be out there. I had Goodyears on the Cherokee and Ram. Not sure which all terrain they were but I do remember sliding everywhere, all the time in the rain. Not the case with the BFG's. Never used the silent armors though.

I was in the same boat you are when I started looking for tires, I had always used BFG AT's but saw the Nitto/Toyoa AT's and thought about them. In the end I decided to go with what I knew and got the BFG's, I know for a fact I wont be disappointed with them.

The BFG's are sure a god tire. Hard to beat and a proven performer. Im looking at the Yokohama Geolander AT/S. Anyone have or used this tire in the past? The Bridgestone Revo's look like a nice tire and so does the Pirelli AT/R. The Nitto's and Toyos look sharp but I dont know anyone who has these tires. I like the dressed up sidewall that some of the tires have, espically the Nitto's. Everyone's opinion on these or any other all terrain? I posted a link for the Geolanders.

I chose the BFG AT KO LT285-65-18. No rubbing issues. My truck is a stock 4x4 TRD.

I haven't seen decent tires on a new vehicle with 3 exceptions: the Toyo AT on older Tundras, the BFG AT on some FJ Cruisers, and whatever the Hummers run. Everything else is 'passenger-car' junk intended for maximum mpg in the Govt. tests. Toyo/Nitto/BFG/Goodyear/Firestone/Cooper: all make cheap stuff AND premium stuff. Don't rule-out any premium tire because of a negative experience with that brand's oem junk. You get what you pay for.

I agree. Im trying to watch the weight of the tire for the MPG sake. But, looks are what counts the most. Would like to see a set of 285/65/18, maybe Toyo AT's or the Yokohama Geolanders on a Tundra. The MT's do looks sweet but Im looking to keep the noise down.
