I predominantly tow around 3 tons in the UK with a Korean pickup truck, after using most tyre brands out there, the most stable and safest especially in the wet has been the Maxxis Bravo 771. (205bhp, 550nm).
I couldn't agree with you more about the KM3s. I have them on my Jeep WG (Euro market WJ) military rescue evac rig, and they have quite literally saved lives.
Agreed.. BFG are the best tire. I just replaced my KO2 A/T bought in 2015 and 108k miles later .I just bought a new set BFG KO3 12 PLY 295/75/16 1997 FZJ80 Lake Tahoe.
Depends on terrain also mud tires do better in the farmland when pulling hay out of a field at tires or ht tires won't do much in that scenario u get what works 🤔 and terrain your driving through or on daily
Toyo M55, my favorite for hauling loads on dirt/gravel roads. MY DRW get Michelin highway tires. Skip the A/T tires if you can. Unless you just want he cool look and don't really care about using your pickup for work.
I couldn't get rid of highway vibes on a set of KO AT's. Neither BFG or Discount Tire would help. I sold them on Craigslist and bought M-55's. Zero vibes with a tiny amount of weight. I never ran another set of BFG's since and that was 20+ years ago.
The bigger problem with tires is load ranges. Manufactures seriously lack proper load ranges for the vehicles that they’re being used on. A 4 runner that drives around at 5000 lbs does NOT need a 10 ply load range E tire but that’s what majority of them are. It makes a massive difference on ride quality and tire weight to have proper load ranges. We need to see more of these manufactures come out with proper load ranges for application like a STD, C or D for jeeps, small trucks, and SUV’s.
@RefrigeratedTP Have Toyo studded winter tires and haven't bothered to put them on the last few years. Have a seasons pass at Big White and travel the passes regularly in the winter. If any generation BFG isn't enough traction for you, smarten up. 🤷♂️
My 24 Subaru crosstrek wilderness is 3200#. Has 187 hp and the Yokohama geolander ats are the best for my snow wheeling. Love the Yokohama geolander ats been running them since the 90s. On ice you drop 10-15 psi and there really good on ice.
@@ctrlaltdel138D rated is probably over what most people need. A Chevy trail boss comes with C load rated tires from the factory and can still tow 9000 lbs with like 1800 lbs load capacity. E is definitely more than you need for anything but a one ton truck. I learned my lesson with tires on my jeep. Got E rated ridge grapplers and while great off road and look awesome, the jeep isn’t nearly heavy enough for them and it makes them ride super stiff.
@@backwoodstherapy I concede that ride comfort is a matter of preference. I personally hate the feeling of squishy tires flopping over on their sidewalls. I' usually only drive 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickups. I prefer E tires aired up to 50 or 65 with a heavier load.
What makes you say that? Been running bfg ko2s for a while and actually have thought about going with the Baja boss ats now that I’m almost due for new tires
I’ve got the Baja boss at’s too. Quieter, way better wet and snow manners for me. Wear has been great so far too. Have had them on a built 99 4runner and a tuned 6.0 Excursion. Happy both times. The Ex had BFG ko3’s when I bought it. They were ok but crazy loud and not great in rain or on-road snow. (Deep snow yes!).
Ahh yes good points all around. However I mostly buy tires based on looks so if the tread pattern is dumb, prolly not going to buy it. I don’t really care if it doesn’t last as long. Weekend use, the tire will dry rot before I wear it out.
Enjoy my toyo at3s 37x12.5r17 on my 2nd gen ram 5.9 cummins. The bigger lugs compared to other brands seem to hold together well for the weight and torque. I had bfg ko2s before and the lugs were ripping off when I would tow and be pulling through rocky areas. No issues with the toyo at3.
People just need to be honest with themselves when they buy tires. Off-road looking tires look great, but most people don’t need them. Personally I tow a bunch and switching from all terrains to highway tires was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my truck.
I’ll throw in my two cents for what I use on my 2000 F250 four-wheel-drive diesel truck The best value and performance combination that I found after going through several sets of tires in 24 years is that too 8575R 16 all-terrain tire My favorite is made in the land of smiles Cambodia by A company named ling long they also are called crosswind tires. They are nicely made hold up well and perform really well income with a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty but I’ve never had to use. I special ordered them online from Walmart for $600 a set which is far cheaper than most the other tires I purchased . Mounted, balanced, new valve, stems road, hazard warranty and lifetime balance and rotation for the package ends up costing about $830 I’d like to buy American products but I wasn’t happy with the last two set of Cooper tires I went through So long story short, my preference is to buy a tire that works well but not super expensive so I can replace them every three or four years at the most.
I bought the KM3 in a 35 for my ZR2 Silverado and I carry a lot of tools and decked pull out drawer system. 460 torque prior to mods. So far wearing right around where I thought they would for the mileage. I have 45k miles on the truck
I have the new Toyo open country R/T “ Trail” on my 2019 GMC 3500 single rear wheel 4X4 diesel truck and I love them. I also pull regularly a 14,000 pound toy hauler and they handle extremely well, pulling my trailer and not pulling my trailer. They handle very good and snow and ice not pulling my trailer. And they handle extremely well on mud, sand, red clay, and soft dirt, pulling and not pulling my trailer. I have approximately 32,000 miles on my tires and they are wearing extremely well. I have never had a tire on my truck that handles so good on and off-road. The only thing I can tell you that I’ve noticed big-time with these tires is the first rain or two of the season. With all the oil on the asphalt, these tires do lose traction pretty easily during that time. But after the third or fourth rain or so of the season, they start to handle very well. And I forgot to mention these tires are very quiet for a RT tire. I was going to look at possibly getting the new Mickey Thompson’s for my next tire, but I truly love the way these to handle on my heavy duty truck. I have had the stock OEM tires on my truck when I first bought it and then I put on a set of all-terrain Les Schwab tires and I was not happy with them. The Toyota open country R/T trails tires are truly in my opinion the best all-terrain tires you can have on a heavy duty truck if you go off road or live in an area that has heavy rain and snow. Because these tires do not have a lot of typing on the tread blocks when you are driving in snow and ice I drop my drive axle tires down to around 25 to 30 psi and my steer axle tires down to around 35 to 40 psi. When I go off-road and driving on nothing but dirt, I drop my air pressure on all four tires down to around 15 to 25 PSI. But I gotta say overall I am extremely happy with these tires. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Toyota open country tires do not hold rocks and fling them everywhere once you get back on the road .
I have been using a new set of tires for about 3 months now. Mickey Thompson Baja Legend so far they are super not to noisy good in the little bit of off road Ive done. Good on road and in rain. No snow yet so I can't comment on that.
The center wear comes from running the wrong PSI. Yes the door tag in your 3/4 ton may say 80 psi but thats for hauling max weight, which most people dont do. I ran 30 psi across the rear of my DRW ford unless i was hauling heavy.
I’ve always had BFG or Nitto but my 97 F-350 came with Falken Wildpeaks. They are now on 3 of our vehicles. Smooth ride, long wearing and look good. Also balanced way better than the BFGs ever did.
We run F-350’s at 10,400 lbs on AT III from Toyo and we change them at 60,000 miles. The Toyo AT III is strong, but the 6.7 powerstroke is stronger- fighting our way out of flash floods in Moab is the only time I’ve shredded a tire.
Thats why you air down. You blow the middles out from being over pressurized. Take weight on tire/ tires max weight rating the multiply that percentage times the max pressure for that max weight and air down to that then chalk test
Most people don’t do this. They buy a tire for looks and then run what the sticker on the truck says for PSI, even though it’s way out of spec once you start going from an all season to an all terrain or mud terrain and going to bigger sizes and different load ratings. But yes, I agree. A chalk test is definitely needed when changing tire types but people being ignorant of what you said causes premature wear and then they blame the tire for wearing unevenly.
before covid.. went into the tire shop with the old chevy 1ton. I wanted 10 ply. they said 8ply is a better ride and could sell them for 280 a piece. I insisted I wanted 10 ply. they were 130 a piece..
So, which tire do you recommend on a 3/4 ton truck that has an aggressive look, has a 3 peak rating, low road noise, great on wet roads and is good for towing?
Dang, I have had issues with tearing them up with that much weight and power... if you liked them, you will really like the AT4W... you should get longer life out of them for sure.
Was looking at those. 2023 at4 3500 with some tweaks. 33k miles on it, 3rd set of tires. But I also consistently tow 13k+ off road amd snow...lots of snow in winter. Keep gong back to the bfg at ko, but interested in the falkens. But I don't think they make'em in my size.
I think the right lesson is having manufacturers make tires that we want to buy that we can actually use. There's not one tire that's good for everyone. We as customers should have the options we want and we don't always want the same thing. We all shouldn't have to settle for the same tire as we all are doing different things with our trucks. Me personally, i bought a f350 single wheel and have 33x12.50x20 tires on it. I wanted a slightly more aggressive tread pattern but tow really heavy sometimes. My trailer weighs 11k with empty and i haul wheel loaders, skid loaders, and farm tractors. My truck is 500hp and 1200tq and i just went on a 1200 mile round trip to get 2 farm tractors. Was i kinda nervous about my tires holding up? Yes. Was i going to get a tire that was only going to do one thing? No. I need a tire that will go good off road, go good in snow, drive decent, and be able to haul a load. Instead of us having to settle, the manufacturers should give us more options
I loved my BFG all terrains back in the day on my ZR2 s10. That truck would run down the road in 8 inches of snow in 2wd. I'd run them on my caddy if they weren't insanely expensive for a 35 12.50 20
And that is where the Cooper AT3 XLT’s come in. They were specifically made for these heavy HD trucks. They ride great, are smooth and quiet, but have tremendous grip off-road and air down really well.
What should I buy for a Toyota Sequoia that we will off road in sometimes but we want good on road and winter snow performance? We won’t do very much towing. We are doing new wheels and suspension for it but still looking at tires.
Km3's suck i had them on my silverado and the compound is way too soft i could literally watch the tires tread fall off, every time i got out and looked at them they lost more rubber.
What about the BFG KO2? I wanna put 39s on my Wrangler 392, it's a huge tire that weighs under 80lbs so IMO it's perfect. Are you saying it's a bad choice because of my Jeep's torque? Also, what's your idea of "high" regarding TQ?
I live in the mountains where it snows with ice during the winter but it’s also southern California so it’s 1,000,000° down the hill and I also use my truck for roofing which requires heavy hauling 😭
So what tires would you recommend for towing a 17k lb fifth wheel RV with a 2022 GMC SIERRA 3500HD AT4 Crew Cab Long Bed 6.6 Duramax Allison 10 speed transmission? We had ply separation on an OEM Goodyear Wrangler with only 25k miles this weekend.
I've been running Cooper STT Pro's on an 8500 pound truck pushing around 1000 pounds of torque, I can attest to this being outside the design parameters of the tread. Shopping for new tires now actually.
@jameseroh6544 I considered those as well, ended up going with Yokohama Geolander M/T G003's. Only a few hundred miles on them now, towed once but only 5000 pounds. They float on the tall tread blocks a bit but otherwise so far so good. Way quieter than the old Cooper's but that might just be because they're new.
I've never seen a set of Goodyear Wranglers on a full size that didn't look like a chew toy by 5k miles, idk why this is so hard for people! BFG literally makes a heavy lugged HD terrain for big trucks and I've never seen anyone running them
Tire guys at the store dont care. They sell you whatever you want, more importantly, what they have in stock or an abundance of. Tell you the best thing in town. Made for your vehicle.
There is a lot of truth to this… long term relationships, with good shops can get around this but it can be rough out there. My hometown favorite shop that I went to for 15 years had so much turnover they did recognize me, they tried to sell me bad tires and they would mess up 2/3 tire mountings… finally gave up and got my own tire machine…
The big problem is they don't want to run a truck tire. The half ton midsize trucks would ride like sh*t with a load range E tire. Manufactures are making these trucks with more power so in turn you get a lot more rim pull. I'll stick with F350 pick ups that sport tires that have more tire than wheel. The 275/70R18 tires don't have issues.
I drive a 23 ford lightning, and need an AT tire. Toyo made the open country AT3 EV, but I don’t think the extra $70 is worth it over the standard at3.
The lesson is don’t spend all your drive time on pavement with off-road tires. It think it has something to do with the words off and road but I could be wrong.
The consumer buying the large mud terrains really don’t care about the tire life. It’s because they look good for peacocking in your truck. If they wear prematurely just buy another set. If it was value and long life they were looking for they would stick with stock tires
i tear up tires before they can ware out. all of the lugs on my tires get rolled, chipped, cut apart. crawling on rocks and no it is not a “tube buggy” . it is a street legal cj-7.

The reason the center is wore out of the tread is because your tire is over inflated
Or too narrow a rim. Follow the manufacturer's specs for rims and you can inflate them all you want within specs.
Have a supercharged tundra that I use to haul my lance camper, use e rated falken wildpeak at4. Those tires have been amazing for my needs.

But I also consistently tow 13k+ off road amd snow...lots of snow in winter. Keep gong back to the bfg at ko, but interested in the falkens. But I don't think they make'em in my size.
@@T.I.R24 Dont buy them! Everyone stop buying them! They got very popular since my last set and I'll need new ones before spring. 😉
@OutdoorAuto, you should do one on super swampers
I think the right lesson is having manufacturers make tires that we want to buy that we can actually use. There's not one tire that's good for everyone. We as customers should have the options we want and we don't always want the same thing. We all shouldn't have to settle for the same tire as we all are doing different things with our trucks. Me personally, i bought a f350 single wheel and have 33x12.50x20 tires on it. I wanted a slightly more aggressive tread pattern but tow really heavy sometimes. My trailer weighs 11k with empty and i haul wheel loaders, skid loaders, and farm tractors. My truck is 500hp and 1200tq and i just went on a 1200 mile round trip to get 2 farm tractors. Was i kinda nervous about my tires holding up? Yes. Was i going to get a tire that was only going to do one thing? No. I need a tire that will go good off road, go good in snow, drive decent, and be able to haul a load. Instead of us having to settle, the manufacturers should give us more options
I loved my BFG all terrains back in the day on my ZR2 s10. That truck would run down the road in 8 inches of snow in 2wd. I'd run them on my caddy if they weren't insanely expensive for a 35 12.50 20
My grabber ATx do that on my Duramax...but still a very good tire.
I'm pretty sure most know, like you said they ignore it and get what they want not what they should get.
On what planet is the 911 Turbo’s 553 lb-ft the same as the best (not average) Tundra at 479 lb-ft?
And that is where the Cooper AT3 XLT’s come in. They were specifically made for these heavy HD trucks. They ride great, are smooth and quiet, but have tremendous grip off-road and air down really well.
Love the new Wildpeak AT4Ws, highest quality AT you can buy
What should I buy for a Toyota Sequoia that we will off road in sometimes but we want good on road and winter snow performance? We won’t do very much towing. We are doing new wheels and suspension for it but still looking at tires.
Need a nitto g3 review ASAP!!!
Km3's suck i had them on my silverado and the compound is way too soft i could literally watch the tires tread fall off, every time i got out and looked at them they lost more rubber.
Just picked up some KO2s for my ram 1500 🤞🤞
Run low pressure, then run higher pressure. Rotate often and there will be no problem.
Can you please review the AT52 kumho
Or what do you think of them generally
I always buy e rates even for my 1/2 trucks
Outlier as in…the KM3 is actually good for high torque / heavy load applications??
How loud is the new BFG KM3 in the road compared to say Goodyears Duratrac Mud?
What about the BFG KO2? I wanna put 39s on my Wrangler 392, it's a huge tire that weighs under 80lbs so IMO it's perfect. Are you saying it's a bad choice because of my Jeep's torque? Also, what's your idea of "high" regarding TQ?
BFG KM3, heaviest is best. 51K miles on mine, half tread remaining, still quiet.
So what snow tire do you recommend for a f250?
I got 179,000 miles on the K02's on my 2015 Tacoma
falken wildpeak at4w are DEFINITELY stiffer than the at3/toyo open country 3
Will a tire with the heavy central lug last longer on older slower vehicles, like a 2000 Tacoma?
For towing what you recommend? I need an A/T tire
I live in the mountains where it snows with ice during the winter but it’s also southern California so it’s 1,000,000° down the hill and I also use my truck for roofing which requires heavy hauling 😭
So what tires would you recommend for towing a 17k lb fifth wheel RV with a 2022 GMC SIERRA 3500HD AT4 Crew Cab Long Bed 6.6 Duramax Allison 10 speed transmission?
We had ply separation on an OEM Goodyear Wrangler with only 25k miles this weekend.
So I made the right choice by buying the KO3 for my 4 Runner OFF ROAD?
I've been running Cooper STT Pro's on an 8500 pound truck pushing around 1000 pounds of torque, I can attest to this being outside the design parameters of the tread. Shopping for new tires now actually.
The red Cooper ST Maxx may serve your torque needs.
@jameseroh6544 I considered those as well, ended up going with Yokohama Geolander M/T G003's. Only a few hundred miles on them now, towed once but only 5000 pounds. They float on the tall tread blocks a bit but otherwise so far so good. Way quieter than the old Cooper's but that might just be because they're new.
I wish my SUV had that problem...
I've never seen a set of Goodyear Wranglers on a full size that didn't look like a chew toy by 5k miles, idk why this is so hard for people! BFG literally makes a heavy lugged HD terrain for big trucks and I've never seen anyone running them
Those BFG HD Terrains are awesome on big trucks, I am running a set and I LOVE them
Best semi aggressive tread tire for 2021 Silverado ?
Just lift everything and double the tire circumference so the torque is halved, next question please.
So the hd kt tire built for torque loses this test how??
wich a/t you recommended for heavy towing?
Tire guys at the store dont care. They sell you whatever you want, more importantly, what they have in stock or an abundance of. Tell you the best thing in town. Made for your vehicle.
There is a lot of truth to this… long term relationships, with good shops can get around this but it can be rough out there. My hometown favorite shop that I went to for 15 years had so much turnover they did recognize me, they tried to sell me bad tires and they would mess up 2/3 tire mountings… finally gave up and got my own tire machine…
Toyo MTs doing good so far on my 8300 lb Cummins will continue to run them.
The big problem is they don't want to run a truck tire. The half ton midsize trucks would ride like sh*t with a load range E tire. Manufactures are making these trucks with more power so in turn you get a lot more rim pull. I'll stick with F350 pick ups that sport tires that have more tire than wheel. The 275/70R18 tires don't have issues.
I drive a 23 ford lightning, and need an AT tire. Toyo made the open country AT3 EV, but I don’t think the extra $70 is worth it over the standard at3.
My Yokohama g003’s have been awesome.
Can you do a video about Renegade R/t tires ? Just bought some 285/50/22
I have a ram 3500 short box stock , but want the taller tie what size do you recommend?
The lesson is don’t spend all your drive time on pavement with off-road tires.
It think it has something to do with the words off and road but I could be wrong.
what tire do i need for a pavement queen?
I run HT LTs.
I don't know anything about tires 😐
I just buy 3pmsf, all season, all terrain tires 🤷
The only one you're missing is the Hercules TIS Offroad TT1
I'm not buying a tire with a hashtag on the sidewall...
My 4cyl and 6cyl Jeeps have had about 120HP. I think I'm OK with Trxus MTs.
Recently bought 265/70/17 BFG Ko3’s for my stocked Taco, what psi do you recommend?
Nokian Outlander nAT
What yall think of these...
The right ones are the ones on sale.
If air pressure is correct to distribute the load across the entire tread section it shouldn't be much of an issue.
The one that looks the best is the correct one.
LOL
The consumer buying the large mud terrains really don’t care about the tire life. It’s because they look good for peacocking in your truck. If they wear prematurely just buy another set. If it was value and long life they were looking for they would stick with stock tires
Tyres are cheap mate… memories… forever.
Is torque cracking from dry rotted rubber that gets aggressively twisted (but not really)?
Ok so I have a 2500 plenty of torque. So what tire will last as a A/T
The 35s on my 1992 Silverado Blazer are safe from torque/HP😂😢
I get it… I drive old Toyota’s which are also safe from HP/Torque
i tear up tires before they can ware out.
all of the lugs on my tires get rolled, chipped, cut apart. crawling on rocks
and no it is not a “tube buggy” .
it is a street legal cj-7.
Looks are way more important than purpose!!😂😂😂😂
Yeah. Not of the truck bros are gonna listen to that.
I have one these Tundras and I have to hear the turbos everytime 🤣🤣
Just wait until the engine goes. Then you’ll only hear crying.
@@XploreAz😂
What is the best tire for my application?
Noob: The big knobby one that looks cool.
LOL
