I have the Cooper AT3's on an AWD full-size truck (grocery getter and mileage accruer) and the tires are smooth, quiet, and perform very well in all the varying conditions I have driven the truck in.

I was told to buy the nittos but up in Manitoba, I just Didn’t trust them for the long & brutal winters we have up here.  Our roads and highways are in terrible shape. We have potholes big enoug

I have not had either but did have the BF Goodrich All Terrains and loved them.

 

From what I can tell the Nitto's are the way to go.  Seems to  be a great tire and I might try it when I need to replace my tires.

I've run Nitto Ridge Grapplers on two different trucks so far and would definitely buy again. Great tires, ride quiet and last a looooonnnggg time. (40K miles on a truck I recently traded and looked like they could go another 40k). I rotate them every 5000 miles and keep them set to proper inflation levels which helps with the longevity. 

 

I have not tried Toyo's but would like to give their AT3's a whirl.

I have the Cooper AT3's on an AWD full-size truck (grocery getter and mileage accruer) and the tires are smooth, quiet, and perform very well in all the varying conditions I have driven the truck in.  Mileage warranty, road noise, and durability are my primary motivators when purchasing tires for a highway queen or grocery getter.    If I was planning on using the vehicle as a legitimate off-road or overland rig where it would spend a lot of time on the beach, back mountain roads, or muddy pastures, I would base the decision entirely upon what criteria need to be met such as 3 peak rating, mud extraction, ply rating, etc.  The ridge grappler looks like it might be better at more difficult off-road environments, but I am basing that entirely on looks and not on any design criteria or data sets so that opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it. :)

 

Regardless, both are great for mild off road adventures and are top performers in the Overland community who still value street-ability.  I don't think you could go wrong with either to be honest, so pick the one that performs best for your selected criteria (road noise, durability, grip, etc.) and if its too close to decide, go on looks which the Ridge Grappler wins in spades against the AT3.

Very well said sir. I appreciate the advice.   Yeah I'm from PA. Winter is 3 4 months outta the year.   Rest is driving to work or just everyday driving in town.  Do you have pics of your truck and tires by chance?

I have Duratracs on my T1, but the AT3's are on a 2003 Caddilac EXT I purchased to keep the miles off of mine.  My 16 year old is currently using it to go to and from work so I'll try to get a shot of it tonight if I can remember.

 

Nice truck btw, very clean!

Decided to upgrade the factory rubber before winter and went with the Toyo's. Did better in the rain than the stockers and they did real well in the winter stuff up here in Michigan. They rode well and were about the same as the factory one's for noise, real pleased with them overall.

Ya the AT3's 275/60r20 went on it. Went with them thinking they would do better in the winter for me and most reviews were good for my type of usage, first time trying this brand.

 

Haven't tried the Nitto's so no opinion on them.

Look into the new Nitto tire they just came out with. It's called the Recon Grappler, it looks better than the Ridge Grappler to me.

I have but they don't got my size 275 60 20. I'd have to go up to a 285 60 20. Would that fit without any rubbing or modifications?  I also have a 2 inch lift kit

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
