Tires Toyo or NITTO

2018 explorer tire upgrade 265/50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

I just put a set of Toyo AT3 on my truck. Feels like I'm driving on Velcro compared to the KO2's. Those tires were great on the trails, but felt like I was gonna end up in someone's front yard in the rain.

Toyo GSI-6. Blockier pattern does well in heavy snow and is still good on ice and slush, but a shorter life.

I have the all season version of these and they're great in the rain. If I'm going uphill or accelerating hard I get a little bit of wheel spin on stock wheels.

I recommend Continental winter contact, General altimax arctic 12 or Toyo observe gsi-6. Top 3 winter tires in my opinion for reliability, tread wear, noise and cost.

I have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.

I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.

They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.

Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.

I put a set of Nittos on my F-150 and love them. It came with crappy all terrain tires that were noisy and didn’t handle well in the rain. The new tires are far more quiet, especially at interstate speeds, and have better grip when the weather isn’t cooperating.

I went with the neo gens (205/40) they do stretch good however the sidewall is noticeable bigger than the 195/40 federal.

They slip like crazy in my g in the rain. NT05s in 285 width. Good dry performance. Scares me a little on raining freeway rides.
