I will likely be putting these on my wife's Suburban in a few months, looking forward to comparing them to the BFG KO2s with 55k+ miles on them that are still doing well.

I’m interested in them for my 2500HD Duramax. There’s no mention on Toyo’s website of them having the 3PMS rating; I sent them a message using the “contact us” form asking about that. I’m a big fan of the KO2 and a few of the guys in my snowmobile crew run them, but I keep leaning towards the Grabber ATX because it’s got both a mileage and snow rating. 
 

Edit- Toyo replied and said that all sizes will feature the 3PMS, that the tire has a 2-ply sidewall, and will go on sale in April 2020.

Thanks for sharing but they look just like all the AT Tires on the market but would be good to know how they do after their first 15K Miles as two separate sets of my Ridge Grapplers FAILED miserably at 15K miles, slipping was very bad in wet conditions. The siping seems to be an after thought on Nittos and Toyos as the lugs are durable but the siping wears out at that mileage and the slipping begins.

I think you have this thread confused with one about Ridge Grapplers.

Lol,

Not confused as they’re both sister companies with same afterthought spinning in all their tires. Don’t believe me, research yourself. Siping is meant as an exit point for moisture, be my guest to find moisture exits on either Nitto or Toyos AT. Siping with exit are functional as traction on wet roads enclosed siping with no exit for moisture only retains moisture creating a higher chance for hydroplaning.

Try comparing your favorite tires siping to the long time favorite KO2’s

In order for siping to work, there must be an exit point for water, not an enclosed channel. In addition, Toyos and Nittos siping look like after thoughts. BFGoodrich KO2’s siping are deep with exits.

Man, you really struggle with self awareness and picking up on sarcasm. You  missed the point of my reply to your post entirely. I understand exactly what you keep trying to explain. I will make things very simple; my reply to your post was an effort to help you understand that it was irrelevant to the topic. You’re bringing up past issues with a completely different tire and comparing it to something completely new, which appears to be an effort to validate your opinion. The fact that Toyo and Nitto are one in the same has about as much to do with the point of my topic as apples do with oranges. Siping; great...got it. I love BFG’s too, but what’s that got to do with anything? Please go derail someone else’s topic or push your agenda somewhere else.

The thread you’ve started starts off with:

Who’s going to be the “Guinea Pig” “They look Great”

Then your sarcasm “wooosh” which I’m assuming you just didn’t get it in the first place.

No disrespect but in what way does giving vital information and most importantly the safety aspect of tires an attempt to derail this thread? Most everyone on these threads have reasons with logical follow ups as to posting articles such as the one you’ve posted and then there are the very few that just like looking at pictures.

Good luck with this.

I’d be interested to try these. Looks like it could be the competitor to the falken wildpeak at3w that everyone loves, assuming its winter rated

I also thought it had a somewhat similar tread pattern as the Falken. The Falken seems to be a fair amount heavier when comparing an equal size & load index.

Just thought I'd share. I don't need new tires, but I do like to see whats out there. Good looking tire! Curious to see how others like them after some real world use. If I needed new tires, they came in my size and I didnt like my Cooper's I might consider them.  [emoji6]


Reading this it looks like they did a lot to improve wet and snow capability. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the at2 for wet and snow, so these will likely be really good for everything. If these are available when it comes time for new tires, I wouldn’t hesitate to try these over the wildpeaks

      AFM Experience

      By KARNUT · Posted

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
