Got the new tires last Saturday. After much searching and re-searching I decided not to stick with BFG AT KOs. Even though I had no complaints with them, I just regard them as overpriced for what you get.
I had thought about going to a Yokohama Geolander AT-S, since I had that tire on my '04 Tacoma and it did fine in both snow and desert areas, but after doing more research, I finally decided to go with the Hankook Dyna Pro. What I liked about the Hankook was the big, chunky cleats and the large voids, which I figured would be good for rocks and dirt, as well as snow. The Yokohamas are great in snow but the voids and the treads are a little too small, IMO, to do well off-road.
I guess we'll see how well they do. Wife and I are going to Crested Butte this weekend and we'll be hitting some dirt roads (Cottonwood Pass, Kebler Pass) as well as at least one 4wd trail (probably Schofield Pass.)
Here's the obligatory pics. Kind of a 3/4 shot but I'll try to get some better ones this weekend:
Love the look, and in my limited drives they seem fairly quiet compared to my well-worn BFGs.
