    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.

    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

    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!

    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.
