Tire Research Vomit
I've about driven myself mad researching tires the last two weeks. I'm down to 4 tires. Dumping this here partly to organize my own thoughts, partly to see if anyone has any takes. All info is based on a 265/70/17 tire.
This tire is going on my '20 TRD Offroad. Leaning towards a more aggressive all-terrain because I only put about 7-8k miles a year on this vehicle. Not a commuter, but still do the majority of the miles on pavement.
Did discount's rating system (Good, Better, Best):
Yokohama Geolandar X-AT (E)
Price: $227
Style: Better
Height: Best (32")
Weight: Good (56lbs)
Rep: Better
I like it because it's the tallest of the stock sized tires. Also probably my second favorite looking design.
BFG KO2 (E)
Price: $230
Style: Best
Height: Good (31.6")
Weight: Better (54lbs)
Rep: Better
The best looking all-terrain. Nothing else about it seems to stand out though.
Toyo Open Country AT3 (E)
Price: $230
Style: Better
Height: Good (31.6")
Weight: Best (49lbs)
Rep: Better
The 2nd or 3rd best looking, and the lightest.
Falken Wildpeak AT3 (E)
Price: $246
Style: Good
Height: Good (31.6")
Weight: Better (53lbs)
Rep: Best
The Falken is not my favorite but probably the most well-recommended of the 4 on forums. The worst looking of the 4 to me.
