AT tire reviews

i am in the market to upgrade my tires on my 2015 Sierra 1500 4x4 to a AT tire.

But first would like some feedback or user insight on these topics: highway noise, ease of fit (ie; no rubbing), off-highway grip and speed of wear.

I am planning on adding a 2.5" Rough country Leveling kit and using the stock 20's.

Some tires that i am looking into are: Nitto Terra Grappler 2, General tire grabber, BFG KO2 and Toyo open country rt.

If you have size suggestions that would also help.

 

thank you all in advance.

Subscribing. :) I too am in the market. I would add Goodyear Duratracs, Cooper Discoverer AT3, and Toyo ATII to the list.

Right now, I personally am leaning Toyo ATII. But lets see the feedback.

 

With a 2"+ lift, I believe the size of choice many times is 275/65/20

 

Thanks, Mike

The ko2 duratrac and at3 are all very good choices you can't go wrong with any of them! It all depends on your taste of how aggressive you want the tire to be and how much you want to spend.. Personally I would spend the extra and get the ko2 good luck and let us know what you go with!

I went with the BFGoodrich K02's. I would say the road noise is definitely more than stock, but not a real problem. I've only had them for a few months but really happy with them so far. I've had them on sand, gravel and some mud all with good results, no snow yet. As far as speed of wear, I don't have enough miles on them yet to really tell, but they still look like new after about five thousand miles. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=All-Terrain+T%2FA+KO2

KO2's are nice

 

No louder than the original ATs. Hardly noticeable at all. Seem to ride nicer than the original ATs also

I had cooper at3 and Firestone at. I liked both, cooper has little more aggressive tread. But overall I liked the Firestone at little bit better. They were quite and had good tread life. Guess it depends on what terrain you are driveing on the most

I really like my LT285/70R17 Toyo AT II's. No rubbing at stock height, Not noisy on the road, and I've got about 20k miles on them with plenty of tread left so far.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
