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! ba85bf9bfa3736b5986a99bc9e2222b1.jpgf9ae74a8e9d53974d696ae82d3fed7c5.jpg2b3a462eb4d42d51fc5c5ae25aca7eb6.jpg

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.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
