Hello friends. I just bought my 2019 TRD ORP and absolutely love it. I couldn’t be happier with such an amazing truck! I’m sorry for yet another tire post. I did my research around here and I need some help from the community.

I currently have the stock 17" Alloy Wheels P265/70R17 Tires. I’m planning to get the black TRD wheels eventually (the ones that come with the pro). I think I’ve narrowed it down to these two tires:

1. Cooper AT3-4S
2. BFG KO2

I’d like to keep the stock size. I’ll eventually upgrade the suspension but not anytime soon. I do most of my driving on the paved LA roads. I would like to occasionally go on offroad trails like Joshua Tree, Alabama Hill, etc... I would also like to go up to Big Bear when it snows. What does everyone think I should get?

My concerns are, an inaccurate speedometer, steering wheel vibrations and rubbing. I really don’t want to modify things to just yet. Thank you in advance. Again, sorry for yet another tire post, I’m just flat out lost...

Cooper AT3/4s will work fine for your applications...

Agreed with poster above, the Cooper's will be fine for what you plan to do with the truck and no rubbing issues with those stock tire sizes.

Just out of curiosity, why not the BFG KO2? I’m just trying to learn and make sure I’m making the right choice. I’m definitely leaning towards the Coopers.

I have the grey trd wheels and 265 ko2, no rubbing, run smooth as long as you get a tech who knows how to balance properly. I love them in the Phoenix area. They did great in snow the one time I was in it with them.

I purchased the Cooper AT3 4S's a few weeks ago and had nothing but problems getting them to balance. 4 balances later and still had problems. Needed two rows of weights to come close to balancing. I had some serious steering wheel wobble and seat vibrations.

Returned them and got Nitto Terra Grappler G2 and problems went away. They required very little weight to balance.

With that being said, I've heard a lot of good things about Cooper. Maybe I just got a bad batch.

If you haven’t bought the TRD rims yet I would recommend you do a hard search before you get them. I regret not looking around harder for other rim styles. EVERYONE has the TRD rims, yes they look great but it’s so common it may as well be a stock rim. Icon and VTX make some good looking rims.

Also, to stay on your topic, I’m going with Falken Wildpeaks when my stock tires go.

I believe I read your post because that's when I started to worry about the steering wheel wobble and my decision on getting the Coopers. The Nitto Terra Grappler G2 look comparable. Geez... I really need to make a decision.

Thank you for your suggestions, I am going to check out the Icon and VTX. I really like those TRD ones though.

I'll do some research on the Falken Wildpeaks.

Also here in AZ. Big fan of KO2’s here. Excellent on rock and I hear also excellent on snow. When the Nitto TG’s that came on my Pro are shot it will be C load class KO2’s. Cant comment on mud. Arizona, what mud??

Keep in mind, they are pretty loud compared to the Coopers. I don't really mind it though.

Also, Discount Tire will give you 30 days to try any tire I believe. If you go back within 30 days, they'll swap them out for another tire if you're having issues. They didn't give me any grief when I asked for a swap.

Hankook Dynapro ATM-10 I had three sets installed on my 08 FJ with 191k miles.

Another outside suggestion for wheels would be fifteen52. Coming from the Audi world, where they are well respected, they have launched a line for Offroad vehicles.

I have the Nitto TG’s (stock TRDP) with no complaints. Although they do hydroplane a little easier than I’d anticipated. This may be more me not being used to A/T tires, not the actual tire, though.

To add to this post, the TRD rims do not really add anything over OEM rims except aesthetics and in reality you could argue the are worse then the TRD Off-Road rims in that they are only 7” wide compared to 7.5” for the off-road and the off-road rims have better valve stem protection. This allows you to be “in spec” for larger than a 275 Tire. Not worth the couple of lbs of weight savings IMO. If a person wants the same look for about the same price contact FN wheels and ask for the FN pro...same look but 8” wide.

Thank you for this suggestion. I’ll take a look at them. What you mentioned makes a lot of sense.
