Probably would be better posted in the general discussion area but nonetheless,  I have the Falkens and am very happy with them.

The top rated AT tire is the Ridge Grappler, although its classified as a hydrid tire its very much an AT.

 

my buddy has them on his F250 and has over 70k and they are holding up great. He said its the best tire hes ever had , hes had K02s , cooper ATs , duratracs, stt.

Well, I have had Cooper and BF Goodrich, and like them both very much.  I just purchased a set of Continental AT’s, and so far am extremely impressed.  They don’t look very aggressive on a website, but in person they look better.  Great traction in dry off road conditions, but I have not had the chance to try them in wet conditions. Very quiet on highway.  Load range E, so plenty stout.

That' is part of the issue because what works well on a 250 may not work that well on a 1500 because the rubber and ply rating are just to stiff for a lighter truck. If anyone knows how to throw it over to general discussion go for it.

Yeah im just trying to help out , the top rated “AT” tire I can find for any truck is the nitto ridge grappler, ive looked pretty extensively. 
 

now some people are buying on price.

if thats the case im sure there are cheaper tires on the market as there will always be .


But I can only go off the info Ive found, everything ive found shows the Nittos as the number one choice. My buddy confirmed the quality in comparison to several other top choice AT tires.

 

I bet there are 5-10 other tires that are going to satisfy most consumers. Look it up and see what you find though, im 100% certain you will find Nitto Ridges rated #1.

 Some have said nitto's others the toyo at3 which are brothers,seeing most every brand is putting out a decent tire seems the tire rating based on weight of truck is more important....don't want an f rated tire on a half ton.

The difference between the top rated and the 2 or 3 below the top rated are MINIMAL.  Get a brand you have confidence in, and has the attributes you are looking for: quiet, extended mileage, no cupping, warranty, traction type, etc.

So after a month of research  and the internal fight of to go big or not I've come to the conclusion to go with the nitto 275 60 20  33" circumference it comes with 100k warranty,tips the scales  at a measly  41 lbs. and has a mid aggressive all weather  snowflake tread pattern.Main reason is, it give the truck a more aggressive look without affecting fuel mileage which is the primary reason for going to a diesel in the first place unlike the affects of putting on a 10 ply 34-35 " tire that comes in at 60 to 70 lbs  per tire.From what I've seen so far this could mean 5mpg or more and over the life of the truck that's a lot of extra fuel....problem solved (for me)

I am running the wrangler trailrunner AT on my truck. They are great! Consumer reports rated it 2nd in ATtruck tires. 

 

They are snow rated. They are very very quiet. 

 

And aren't very expensive. My only concern is the tire life being only 55k.

The others are all good tires depending on size as the weight maybe a factor in fuel mileage.The ones I like best so far are the nitto grappler  275 60 r20 with 34 inch circumference and a 47lb weight and 100,000 km warranty with the snowflake don't think you can go wrong unless the goodyears are 1/2 the price.

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
