Need opinions on tires for my trailboss

Jason Fuller · October 26, 2019

Looking to go with a 295/70r18 on stock rims for my trailboss, I have it narrowed down to the MasterCraft cxt, MasterCraft mxt and Falkin at3w. Just looking for opinions and maybe pictures of them on our trucks. Thanks guys

I would go with the falkins. I read a lot of good reviews, I would told you to add the Hankook dynapro to you list but last time I checked the price had went up.

Thanks for the reply, that's actually what I've been leaning towards, I definitely need something that fills out the wheel well a bit more! Lol

A member on here had some trouble with Mastercraft tires. He also had balancing issues with the falkens - or maybe that was another member. Either way, I would tend to get the higher end tire as opposed to cheaping out, especially while increasing size (harder to balance).

Have you considered nitto ridge grapplers?

I work at a tire shop we sell mastercraft tires never had a problem with them the cxt are a commercial style off road tire we sell a lot of them to ranchers there more rock resistant then the mud terrains. The falkens are just an all terrain more mild tread then the mastercraft. The new cooper at3xlt is a good looking tire too. The Toyo open country ct is a good tire as well.

He went through 4 different sets and they all shook. His issue is a truck problem not a tire issue.

I am also starting to have the same shake issue with my stock duratracs.

I recently went with Cooper at3 xlt's on my sierra 265/70r18, E rated. Made in USA, really nice tire. Originally wanted the falkens, but they weren't available in the size I wanted, also made overseas.

Thanks everyone for the replies! Does anyone know if 305/70r18s fit on the stock rims? I've seen a few post about 35/12.5/18s but no 305s.

I'm almost positive the issue was fixed with different tires. May be wrong. There's been a few cases of this on here now

How about a serious tire? I have no experience with them.

I just went with a set of Falkens (275/70/18) and I'm happy so far. Seems like a good do-it-all tire. Aggressive enough w/o being an MT tire. I can't speak for snow performance (yet), but I had a set on my Grand Cherokee and they did quite well in the Northeast.
