Tires Toyo or GT Radial
I just put them on in January and so far I like them a lot. We got less snow than normal, but they were very good in what snow we got. At first they were noisy on my Tacoma Pickup, I have E rated tires, but after a couple thousand miles they got quiet.
I now have the AT3s and love them. They’re quiet and handle great on and off the pavement. I’ve beat the snot out of every set of Toyos I’ve had and have only had one flat due to a pinch flat (sharp rock at 30mph). Southern California deserts are pretty unforgiving.
Best tires I've ever owned. I have at3s on my 80 series and my tundra. Tundra is on the second set. The first set lasted a very long time. Perform good aired down and are the best tires I've ever had in snow and sand. Noise is very mellow on highway. I have no complaints
Getting 40k miles from your OEM Toyos is pretty good. I kinda wanted to put more Toyo A36 on them as I liked how they felt but they dont have a mileage rating.
I've run the AT3's for the last three years and love them. Better than KO2's, Dura's, and Ridgegrapplers that i've run. All in 35', DD JKU. I'm in CO, so snow, rain, mud and weekend wheeling. They are the best all around. The GY are the best in the snow, but the Toyo's are a close second. I do feel like they won't have the mileage of either the Dura's or the KO2's. Only downside I see.
I'm happy with my Open Country AT3's (265/75R16's). Performance is good for my needs. I don't love them in the rain, but don't find them worse than the other A/T's I've tried. They did start getting loud around 20,000 miles but not annoyingly so.
Had them for a couple years on my truck, 285 75/16s fairly quiet in comparison to my buddies Chinese ATs. Pretty good in snow, wet traction could be better, but they’re quite good off-road. Better than the Firestones and Hankooks Iv had before for sure.
GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire, a Singapore-based tire manufacturer with nine facilities worldwide. Ironman tires are a budget sub-brand of Hercules Tires, which is in partnership with Cooper Tires, and manufactures its tires in different countries.
Realistically they are probably close to equivalent to each other, but both are low end budget tire brands. They seem to fair well on dry pavement and do marginally well in wet conditions, but are noticeably lacking in snow and winter conditions.
I know GT radial tires are on the cheaper side. My GF got them last summer, in may. I checked them today and they are down to about 4/32mm. She basically drove 8 months with them, or 25k km, almost exclusively highway. Is that expected? I'm used to tires going for 50k km.
It was a terrible experience on stock suspension: extremely stiff, sluggish from standstill, and my mpg took a drastic hit. On one tank I went from averaging about 16.8 mpg to 13.5.
I ended up getting them switched out for the C load tires (255/75r17) and had a MUCH better experience. They drive nearly identical to the stock tires , mpg is back to low 16, and the ride has softened up.
