My 22 taco off road came with the wrangler duratrac at tires. I travel in the summer towing a 2000 lb camper with a tongue weight of about 250lbs plus cargo in the truck bed. Rotated the tires at 7500 miles, and kept tires at 33psi. Wore down terribly after 27000 miles. Now going into winter and the tires had poor snow grip. Just swapped them out for the Goodrich ko2’s, find them a bit quieter than the duratracs on dry pavement. Got a decent snowfall today, I’m sure they will grab well since they’re new. Time will tell on the wear.
@@shundashundalah Very happy, the traction in snow is near excellent. I’ve been able to get out on the unplowed secondary roads and can’t easily roll through 10-12 inches of wet snow without problem. Mind you I’m in 4wd and my off road has great road clearance.
I’m thinking I’ll go with 275/70/R16 Nitto Ridgegrapplers for my 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro so I don’t have to deal with spacers or a lift/geometry issues or modification from my understanding regarding clearance issues.
Those Wildpeaks have a completely surrounding open track for water to get through which helps tremendously against hydroplaning. I used to use the BFG KO2’s but noticed their lack of hydroplaning control. No surrounding good track for water to get through. They worked great on mud and snow but sucked on wet pavement. I use Hankook AT’s now.
City driver and love my Nittos. Never had an issue with traction with my mt. Although iv never had any other tire but stock to compare but I'm so happy with the Nittos.
It’s time for me to switch,I’ve had k02’s for four years now and I live in Canada they have been good to me ,but not so much on my back , they were ok at first but tend to wear unevenly the rubber gets hard and they have started to crack
I have about 7,000 miles on some Goodyear ultraterrain tires. They spin like crazy on wet roads. In fact the one road on the way to work if it’s raining I have to be careful because it’s like ice. It might be the road surface too, but my VSC saved me a few times from spinning out and it’s not like I’m speeding. Traction in the snow and otherwise is fantastic though. My biggest gripe is the ride quality. They shake a little. I think next time I’ll go with the Falkens
Good morning. I have toyo open country at3 on my 2014 trd sport for the last 2 years. Had to go to Colorado from Idaho in a snow storm and had no trouble with the tires losing traction on snow or wet pavement including off-roading .
I got a 21 manual sport tacoma. I switched to BF Goodrich ko2's with some cool Wheels right off the bat. Stayed with stock size. Interesting fact. The ko2s are skinnier than the factory tire
I’m planning on Yokohoma M/t’s in a 255/85r16. If I were going with an A/T it would be a Falken. I have had several sets and they are the best A/T tires I have ever been around.
Good morning Rob. Another day in paradise! Mornings here are getting Arsome :-). My stock TRD 16" Goodyear Wranglers tires feel good for city driving. No plans to go off road. Love our Tacoma, I'm in the 96% club.
I think there's a lot of hype associated with BFG K02s the vast majority will never take their trucks offroad in extreme rock crawling situations, I believe it's wise to look for a tire that can deliver in multiple weather scenarios. What good is a tire if it can't operate well under wet road conditions?? When researching you will see this is a common complaint of the K02s. Wildpeaks all the way for me!
What ply are your Falkens? Just put set of Mickey Thompson Baja AT 10 ply and having vibration at higher speeds. Is Tacoma too light for 10 ply? Thanks for the info. Seemed to one of the few channels to find anyone offering info! 🦾
You just answered my question, my 4x4 21 came with Toyo cheapo tires. Spin out through two gears. Not cool. But gotta feed the kids and wait, I'm definitely getting your recommendation when it's time. Thanks!!
Hey Rob, great channel. Watch all your videos! A couple questions...how big of lift do you have on your truck and what kind is it? I don't do any off-road stuffso what is your opinion on leveling kits? Thanks
I put the Falkens on my tacoma. Hoping they work well come this winter in Canada. I like they are not heavy like an E rated. As I don't need that heavy duty of a tire but they are better than a P tire. So far not much road noise that I notice.
Good to know I made the right choice haha I just put the falken on my Tacoma so far so good did a little off road and hopefully they are great on the winter. In NW Pennsylvania we get a ton of snow.
AT3w Falkens for me next month. The ones I'm getting have a high winter rating. Im removing the factory Goodyear Kevlars with 4000 miles on them.. We have 4 to 5 months of winter here in Maine, coming up just around the corner. Snow sleet freezing rain and icy roads. I bet you miss all this huh Rob. Lol. Great channel thanks.
Thank you. Your comment on off road vs paved was spot on. I need a somewhat quiet tire with very good road capabilities here in Michigan but also one that will get me through deer season up north on back trails. The Falkens have my interest. Ko2 ' are very popular.
@@RobMotive I have been looking at them i will probably get a set. The running boards on my Tacoma I think set to close to the body. What brand were those?
So far for my "19 Tacoma the Goodyear Wrangler Dura Tracks work great from November thru April during snowmaggedon here in the mountains. From May thru October I run Kelly Edge's in which I'm very satisfied with. Have separate rims for both (one black and one chrome) so no problem when it comes time to switch.
Balancing issues are hit or miss with those Wildpeaks. In my research I noticed folks complaining about vibrations. I recently made the move to Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT and they are absolutely fabulous.
Watch for cupping closely on those Coopers rotation and balancing every 4000 , if not a fella could get a vibrating massage while driving down the road. 🤷♂️🤦♀️
Have Falken on my Tacoma so far very good, smooth running good traction. But, most tires do well when new, it's the long term performance that counts. I've had many brands, several are very good until you put 20,000 miles on them, then they'll get loud and rough riding no matter how often you rotate and balance. 🤦♂️🤞
@Robmotive Hey bud keep on putting up that great content. Quick question looking to upgrade tires when lift is completed possible 2/1 or half inch more. Going to go with falkens. My question is would you recommend passenger or LT. Found a really good deal on some used LT falkens 275/65/18 which will be going on the stock limited wheels to have a more aggressive stock look. Thanks again
That’s funny with you on the toyo tires. Me was the opposite when I had my 98 Dodge Ram truck stock tires were Michelin’ LTX , it was horrible on wet and snow covered pavement. Bought the original Toyo AT ,awesome no problem, same with my 03 Jeep Liberty had them put on also replace garbaged Goodyear wranglers, that always broke loose on wet pavement and crap in the winter . Had no issues with them. But maybe you had the Toyo AT2 tires and for what I heard from my Toyo tire people the second generation they changed the compound making it a bit harder, so might had that problem. Now the gen 3 I think they went back with a softer compound and a slightly different treads. My tire guy son has the wild peak on his little Mazda truck and he likes it a lot and it grips in wet weather,My wife’s Jeep Cherokee has now Toyo HT on hers and she loves it on the highway and durability, I have on my04 Tahoe is general grabbers APT and they are great in all weather, mind you these one actually have the snow ❄️ peak emblem on the tire saying it’s snow certified. Just my view and knowledge on tires from buying experience and ,research and word of mouth that suits your needs.
Not sure how they would be on a Tacoma but I run Firestone destination x/t an they are a really nice tire. Aggressive look an quiet. I’m looking into one of these trucks an your videos have been helpful!
Aloha and good morning Rob. It's great to know from you that the tires you experienced and recommended are the best to have for on road and off road purposes. I'm looking to install a beefier set of tires for my Toyota RAV4 Sport. I'm looking forward to have the Falken Wild Peak AT3WS installed on my RAV4.😇😎🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍🙌
I've had Toyo on sports cars (sr and zr) passenger cars, and family had them on for exploder. All instances they skipped traction from brand new and blew out or didn't last long. I always wanted to give another chance, but can't spend that kind of money anymore.

I have 265 75 16 BFG KO they perfect tire 32 inch for tacoma stock that's want should be stock for them
Thank you for the video. Are the F-AT3W good in the rain and snow?
I live in Deep South Texas (no snow) so I have no experience with them in that type of weather.

How’s the ride compared to stock ?
Did the KO2s cost you any MPG? Trying to decide on tired for my 22 Tacoma TRD OR
Imma gas mileage freak and I didn't notice any difference.

Good morning! It’s a nice cool morning here! The humidity is almost gone👍👍
Are you going to do any tacoma hauling videos like with hitches or anything like that? Just curious.
Never say never..but I don’t have anything that needs towing at the moment🤔
Been looking at the bfg ko2 , but the wild peaks at3 are on the list , currently running Michelin,
Both are good…just depends on your needs 🤔
No tires in your description to get? the ones your talking about why not available you have everything but tires? Unless I can’t find them?

Glad to help👍
Hay Rob,
What do you think of BFGOODRICH All Terrain KO2s in 285/70R17 in load range C for a 2nd Gen Tacoma with a ReadyLIFT 3/2 SST??
I think they’d be similar to the Ridge Grapplers I had. However, I’ve never had them myself.
Those FUEL Enduros are really Off Road looking with the lip wheel design and Round holes
I love the look. Perfect for the Tacoma IMO👍
I love my Nokian Outpost nATs.

What about lowering the air pressure in the tire to get a soft ride?
Had the duratracs on my 21 tundra. Noisy af.
They do have a more aggressive tread pattern😬
I’ve only used the Falkens but I love them so much I’ll be putting the same brand on my sons Corolla, not all terrains 😁
Great looking truck. How did you like those running boards?
Thanks. They were fine. Best looking steps for the Tacoma IMO👍

@@fredsausage5189 Thanks. I’ll do a chalk test periodically.
Awesome, I was going to suggest you do a tire video.

You won’t even notice a difference at 20,000 with the falkens. They are good
@@billylee2312 Thanks for the info.
I'm looking for tires now for my Tundra, was thinking Dura Trac's but now you got me thinking about these Falkens. Hmmm decisions!
Both are good, but I give the edge to the Falken Wildpeaks👍
Falken
Michelins are smooth and quiet
Ko2 seem be the way to go?
Depends on you needs.
Man that blue is really a good looking color!
Best for the Tacoma IMO👍

Good to hear. I haven’t had Firestones in years.
The BFGs suck in the Rain. And will spin easily.
98 Tacoma 4x4
BFGs no slippage Rob and get 10% savings on insurance because of the “snowflake “ on tire for extreme snow.
You must have a special insurance company…I’ve never heard of that🤔🤔
Good morning Rob, we got some rain 🌧 this morning, seems the weather is changing l believe is the first day of fall, have a great day 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I had the same issue! In the rain I would slide sometimes while braking so I’ll not go back to them again
They are built for off-road with the occasional pavement trip😬
@@MyDadsNotAphone51 same bro caught me off guard and sketched me out drove like a grandma in the rain until I swapped
@@RobMotive absolutely correct
@@cvukson93 which is a shame because I like that look

They are awesome 👍👍
278 Hp is nothing to sneeze at.
Especially with the Sprint Booster installed👍

Lol! It’s awesome 👍👍
Had a set of Falkens on my '96 Toy...Were like a pair of Jordan's!!!...Stop on a dime!!!😏😏😏
Nice👍
Toyo suck in my experience. Street, zr, lt, whatever .... they just suck.
I can't speak for all configurations of Toyo's, but whatever was on my Ram Rebel were slick😬
I've had Toyo on sports cars (sr and zr) passenger cars, and family had them on for exploder. All instances they skipped traction from brand new and blew out or didn't last long.
