Nitto VS. Toyo VS. BFG KO2 VS Yokohama = Fuel Milage?

Redjk07 · November 23, 2015

I am researching which tire to go with next! I just purchased a 2014 Denali and it has 26XXX miles on it and its going to need tires soon since one of the rear PS has a slice in the sidewall! I am going to be putting a 2.5 lift from Rough Country on it so I want to go with a 275/65/20, So I have narrowed it down to the Nitto Terra Grappler, Nitto Open Country AT2, Yokohama ATS or the BFG KO2? I know this has been discussed time after time! But lets hear from who has this same set up and what kind of miles and how they balance out and hows the RIDE and FUEL Mileage? I have run the Yokohama ATS on a Yukon XL and they seem to be good tires!

I don't drive that far to work but the last several trucks I have owned have got horrible fuel mileage but they have been lifted in the air!!! So I am trying not to do no much to this truck but just make it my own where it doesn't look like a just another silver Sierra Denali! The previous owner already had all the emblems painted black and the windows tinted!

Ive got the Nitto G2s. (not the same size tho). Love em on my setup. Quiet and has awesome traction. Rides almost as well as street tires did. Lost about 1mpg but i also am running 285/50 22 so most of my lost mileage is likely from the upsize to +33" total height and extra weight of my 22"s

Your about to get a million answers so be prepared lol. The one difference between the Nitto and Toyo is that Nitto uses a softer tread compound. Now with that being said I use to read lots of articles and reviews online of people with Nittos only getting 35k out of the tire. But that seems to have died off the last couple years. Personally I would go with the Toyo R/T. I've had mine for about 8,000 miles and the tread wear us minimal at best. They perform great in any conditon (cant comment on snow) and are pretty quiet overall. Only time I hear them is with the radio completely off.
