I have been lookin into tires for my Tundra.....not much out there. The only tires i see thats even close to being a good tire is the BFG TA/KO in 285/65/18. Does anyone have any of the TA/KO? How do u like em?

nitto terra grapplers are very popular

and for anyone looking for an offroad tire, the toyo open country m/t's are also very popular

You cant go wrong with a BFG AT, they last forever, unless you light em up like Bill!

BFG AT KO is the best tire out there for all around use in my opinion

rmjdrift · 06-23-2008, 02:54 PM

I was gonna ry out the Hancook AT's price is good and have had good luck in the past with Hancook

BFG's dominate

Does anyone out there have Michelin ATX AT2's? I usually buy Michelins and wonder about excessive road noise and how they wear. Looks like they are new and not many have tried them...

Yamadog · 06-27-2008, 09:42 PM

they are super awesome tires, Phoenix! They wear beautifully and they are super quite. They also handle extremely well.

Because our Tundra is a tow vehicle, I was mainly interested in the load range "E" tires. I am a little concerned about the "P" (passenger tire) rating on the BFG's in the TRD Off Road package, though I would guess they are probably OK since the Tundra is rated to tow 10,400 pounds.

We had a blowout on Hal (our old 1978 Chevy 454) on the right front, coming off Cajon Pass south of Victorville (CA) on I-15, right in front of the runaway truck ramp -- scared the living #%$# out of us. We had our Airstream in tow, and it was raining cats and dogs. We switched from LT "D" rated tires to "E" rated Michelin AT-MS after that.

However, Hal was a 3/4 ton pickup and had 8-bolt wheels, and our Tundra has only 5-bolts. The "E" tires are rated up to 80 psi, though probably somewhere between 50-60 psi would be sufficient. Are the TRD alloys rated for this pressure?

I think there is info in the driver door jam. Just an idea. I have been wrong before. Good luck

I have been thinking about going with the YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER ATS Tires, but they only come in the stock 275/65/18 size, however they are load range E. I had a set on my 98 4Runner and liked them but I only ran them for about 10K before I traded it in on the Tundra. Not sure which tires I will be going with for sure.
