I'm getting 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country AT's from Milage Mack
http://toyotires.com/tires/pattern/open ... rain-tires

I'm getting 16's cause I am putting them on the stock wheels for now and also getting some 16's off ebay that will be coming in next month hopefully.

[tourniquet]

^^how much are the Toyos?

[lighthammer]

Should be. About $1145 each.

Toyo open country are good all terrains, but some say they wear out too fast.
For all terrains, u can't beat bfg at ko, they have aggressive treads, excellent grip in either wet or dry, and excellent tread wear. Only drawback is they're expensive - but worth the money. I really enjoyed my bfg at.

Another excellent all terrain that I'd recommend is the kumho kl78 at. Aggressive pattern, performs well both on and offroad... And the last set we bought for my parents frontier lasted approx 70,000km or just about 3 years of pure highway driving. Cost $1130 from Laughlin and Degannes.much better value imo than the cheaper all terrains, but that's imho.

Lovely tire. Had these on my navara. Well worth the money. The AT that the new rangers are coming with is a lovely tire as well. Continental

[Bezman]

Anywhere have the BF Goodrich KM2's since loco set me up

If not I may get some Toyo Open Country's from Milage Mack

Quick service has sale 50% sale on all michelin and bf goodrich tyres till the 24th

I called and "nicole" said they dont have... but i am sure i should call again a few times and see if they found some

[venum]

These are my Kumho Road Venture A/T at 15 months doing 27650km

Front:



Rear:



I am disappointed

I was expecting these to last me minimally 2 years (~ 50,000km)

at 15 months they very close to the safety mark

wet traction is poor

dry traction remains good

wear is even as my truck doesn't have any alignment issues

I will be pushing them as far as safely possible

I will not recommend nor repurchase

Nankang AT

[droppa]

[PariaMan]

lets us know how they run ,hope they are much better than the road stone AT i have on my truck

[rudeboye_r]

Does anybody know who sells the hercules terra trac?
275 70 16

[lighthammer]

most smaller tyre shops have the hercules and roadian roadstone at's...

but if you must know, check Federals on Cipero St., sando

[venum]

i heard that foreign used tyres going up by 30% next year.

anyone know if that applies to new tyres as well?

[tr1ad]

just foreign used based on the taxes - from the budget, 30% taxes still on the new, no change

yuh was over seas or wa

brought a set of these today for my nav
paid 1075 per tire AT..ride seems ok so far...only other option available was the bridgestone HT
and the khumo....but from venom post about wearing out fast i decided against the purchase of those
will report on the performance of the nankang

[SNIPER 3000]

Nankang are strong tires, based on past use of the tires. I say that from going through some oil field roads and they held up while others got bent. Down side they are noisey.

[sliderz1]

sorry for the late reply, didnt get a Topic Reply Notifi....

how much did u pay???

$4K Installed

lets us know how they run ,hope they are much better than the road stone AT i have on my truck

based on 'new vs new'.
had RS Rodian ATII before, sidewall is softer than the RS so ride is better.
quick release of the clutch wont spin them in the wet, but a 2K rpm launch will [wet] but it sorts itself out quickly. Very good wrt to hydroplaning resistance.
ummmm......as for offroad, no mud yet but they will have to come good to beat those RS ATII's

Down side they are noisey.

no noise as they're new, hoping they never do

[trinibajan34]

umm why would you launch at 2k rpm i dont even do that with my van. my rs rodian AT loose grip easy in the wet but i have learnt to control. Should have bought those than these rodian AT and they squeel ah lot even when yuh not pushing them. my friend calls them drama queen tires.

Aaron, by any chance, do you remember how well the treadwear was with the Toyos? I'm seeing mixed reviews online.
I started looking at AT tires for the sportero (265/70/16)
Laughlin only had the anti venum kumhos
Mileage mack has the same kumho tires, plus what Bezman posted
Quick service 1. should change their name and 2. are out of the BFG's that a lot of you guys swear by, and might get a shipment either late this year or sometime in January

[Paullct]

^^ we just bought a set of 31" BFG's today...check again

^^ we just bought a set of 31" BFG's today...check again

well I tried the locations at Pt Lisas and Marabella; maybe they didn't like me
please note though when I said they were "out of the BFG's......." I was referring to my size only eh
anyhow, I'll call the other locations and try a few more places in the morning and hear what they have to say, but right now it seems as though those Toyo A/T II might be what I'll end up with

[lighthammer]

Toyo at are great tyres both on and off road, but they don't last long at all. One of our buddies in side b ran a set on his 3.0 ranger and only got abiut 50,000km out of them.

Good tires but I can't recommend them if you're looking for longevity.


And yes, we do swear by the BFG At, I have had first hand experience with them.

[CD4Accord]

If you into longevity and a good mix of road manners and offroad ability, I rate all of the firestone AT tyres available on the market..
I have had my Firestone Firehawk ATX about 6 or 7 yrs now and they still have half tread life.. You talking about 50,000 km so far..

I have read excellent reviews of the Firestone Destination AT as well and I know ramrattan stocks them

The BFG are easily the best AT on the market but sometimes you have to consider economics on account of what is being charged for them..

those are 15" only

those available in 16". i am considering them

too bloddy expensive, but if you have the $, go strong and buy those for sure

[CD4Accord]

Venum, if there is a significant difference in price i'll definitely go with the Firestone..

I have also heard positive reviews of the Firestone ATX Radial 23, but that is definitely more biased toward off than on road..

[Zed Sqd]

Reading what has been said so far...

1) Many say that tyre A, B and C is wearing faster than expected. If the threadwear rating is low, then one shouldn't expect a tyre to last e.g. >50,000kms running highway (cuz 50,000 kms offroad is different). So is there a discrepancy between the threadwear rating marked on the tyres and the life expectancy for a specific use...e.g. for offroading, typical street and highway?

2) From the pics I'm seeing here, people say that their tyres don't offer much traction on wet roads. Looking at the pics of the tyres, the tread depth is descent but the pattern is not a wet road pattern. So are you saying that the tyre rubber does not offer the right friction with the road and therefore is not suitable for normally wet roads (as opposed to roads with puddles which is a different issue regarding water displacement)?

I usually changed tires every year so the wear was good for me. Toyo's is a soft compound tire so expect life of a year to 15months
