Need Opinions - Toyo AT2 Extreme vs. Toyo MT

Kerrslight · April 1, 2015

Hey guys,

I've been back and forth for so long on what tires I want. I have been pretty dead set on a set of MT's, but I'm still on the fence about them due to the fact that I drive mostly highway miles so they would probably wear out faster and be louder than an all terrain would. The MT's have me right now because they look awesome and seeing a few trucks with those tires makes me want them even more. I've since come across the AT2's and those are actually starting to grow on me too. The bonus I see from those is they are not as aggressive so they should wear better and be quieter.

What are yalls experience with either or both tires? Pro's/Con's, just looking for any feedback for either.

Thanks guys!

I wanted the AT2s but they were out if stock everywhere! They guy sold me the MT'S for the same price so I couldn't pass up the deal. So far I am 100% satisfied, the biggest thing is you have to rotate them every 4,000 miles. They work great in the snow (I live in Arizona and had one chance to use them) they highway noise very low almost zero and they look bitchin!

I also drive highway 80% of the time. I posted up a YouTube video to hear the noise. Just look up highway noise toyo mts

AT II's are a good ride just a little louder than stock. I run mostly interstate to and from work they ride way better than the stock GY's. I had a hell of a vibration with the stock GY, all that went away when I put the AT II's on.

Look at the Cooper ST Maxx tires.

I have heard the Toyo AT2 is not a good tire if you live in a colder climate. The rubber compound is very hard, that is how they can offer a mileage warranty. Once it gets below zero, the rubber is more like hard plastic on ice. Not good!

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to go get a quote on both sets of tires today. That might be a determining factor, so we'll see what happens. I live in Texas so I'm not too worried about performance in snow and ice. If my truck is lucky, it'll see snow/icy conditions 3-4 times in its lifetime lol

Honestly, I would get the AT2's if it comes down to those 2 Toyo tires.

Mud tires on pavement are just, well, annoying. Even a quiet mud tire, is still a loud tire. You get that chunky vibration feeling at slower speeds from the aggressive lugs, and they are usually very heavy, which makes the truck feel like a dog. Get an All Terrain tire instead. A mud tire won't last long in the Texas heat, it's just a waste honestly.
