Tires NITTO or Cooper
I'm with you. I've clocked about 7000 miles on the Nomad Grapplers now, and they are a noticeable improvement to the truck in all areas but fuel economy.
So now that I’ve had 1k miles on the Nitto Nomads I figured I’d drop a review. These tires are noticeably better. I feel confident on turns that they are gripping and never sliding. They do great in rain, gravel and mud.
Nitto Motivo All Season, nice grip and road feel got a set for my tc1 $700 out the door
I cannot recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3s enough.
I have a set that has just over 70k on them (will be replacing within a month or so), and I have put them through everything.
I have driven back and forth across the country multiple times and gone rock crawling in Moab and Death Valley (among several other places).
They have always performed well in all weather conditions and have negligible road noise.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro
Built like a MT, rated like an AT. Good in all conditions.
When we bought our Limited, the dealer put the AT3 sports on it. They did just fine in rain and snow, a few trips from NM to CA and forest service roads in CO. We got about 60k out of them. I have the defenders on the vehicle now and am happy with them as well.
I got theCooper AT3’s for my 2012 4runner and loved them, drove more than 50k (and counting). They give a deep tread and were a game changer (vs Dunlops) especially in any rain or snow. All it took was one sleet/snow to feel the difference. I’ve also driven cross country four times with the Coopers and never noticed any issues with noise or mpg.
Ran these for 1.5 years had two flats. Still had good tread depth. One was a rock puncture which I have never had before. On my beater truck so I wheeled the piss out of them. Good in snow, ice, mud and sand. Bad on wet roads imo.
I now have the nittos that came with the 4Runner and absolutely hate them.
I had them on my JKU when I bought it. I drove the Jeep home and to the tire shop two days later to replace them with Toyos. Extremely overpriced tire for the ride quality and handling.
