Tires NITTO or Cooper
I went slightly taller and narrower from stock 285/65/18 to 275/70/18 Nitto Terra Grappler G3 in SL load and they have been great. Low tire noise, low weight, more grip than factory wildpeaks, around the same gas mileage.
I did Cooper pro controls when considering these and I do not regret the decision at all.
I usually get over 75k on my Cooper AT3s in my Toyota, but they've been discontinued.
I like my set of Cooper S/T Maxx
Cooper Discoverer All Terrain is what I run on my Ram 2500. Great looking tire and a set of 4 was 660 plus like $18 per tire install at Walmart.
I love my Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they come with 60+k mile warranty from Nitto. Smooth, quiet ride with them and I do a lot of highway driving and tow a 32’ boat ~3x a month.
New tires are Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT 285/75R17, which have a 129 load rating (4,080lbs) and only weigh 56lbs. They are 11.2” wide so hopefully don’t rub like the BFG’s (will be installed next week), and weighing 10lbs less per tire is a big difference which will help the MPG. And a 60k mile warranty is nice.
Second pair of Nitto A/Ts. Great off road, great longevity, smooth ride. Wet roads and wet boat ramps are deffinetly not their stong points. They do definnetly slip even on the slightest of wet weather so unfortunately I won't be buying another set.
I have the nittos as my daily tires, but I autocrosses on them for about 8 events before I got rid of them. Do not get them. They're terrible in the wet, wear very quickly with camber, scream when no where near maximum grip, you can never get them hot enough and I'm pretty sure the sidewalls are 90% jello.
I have brand new Coopers on my vehicle. One month after installing, I hit a pothole and the tire is now compromised and requires replacement. The tire is leaking air and has a large bubble on it.
