P265/70R17 Dunlop Grandtrek AT/20 vs Nitto Terra Grapplers

I want to get rid of my stock Dunlop's, but had a question. Will the Grapplers look more aggressive overall and stick out more? Should I get rid of the stock rims and go with black TRD rims or keep the stock rims as is?

I don't see too many 5th gen pics on here of Classic Silver T4R's with black TRD rims so that is why I'm asking. Maybe they look better on darker colors?

IMHO, the only thing the dunlops are good for is mpg. Which is probably why Toyota puts them on in the first place. They are a light tire that is very thin and prone to punctures. On snow packed roads they do ok but deep snow is not their game.

The Nittos are a much better tire.

Why don't places like tire rack sell them? What are your thoughts on the BF KO2's coming out in March?

I need a tire that has great mpg's since I only drive on pavement. I also need a much better tire for rain and snow though. The Dunlop's just suck.

Sell what? I'd call, they may be able to get them. If not, go with Discount tire or another company that does.

As I've said before, I like the BFG KOs. They work good for me in just about everything I've thrown at them. I've ran them on a bunch of different trucks over the years and they seem to work good, plus they are still relatively quiet. The KO2s just came out with limited sizes so I haven't tried them yet. I've read up on them and I can only imagine they would better than the KOs. I probably will buy some in spring or summer.

That being said, I do run different tires from time to time just to try something else. My last set of different tires were Toyo AT2s with the extreme tread. Thick sidewalls, meaty lugs, seemed to do great on snow and ice, good in mud, balanced very easily but, the main thing I did not expect and didn't like was they were MT loud over 60 mph.

If you never offroad the BFG KO2s may be overkill for your needs. You may want to look into the Michelin LTX M/S2 or LTX A/T2. The MS2 does good in the snow and rain, last forever, and work perfect for on road driving.
 
Why did you switch out your rims?

Because I went with a wider tire. If you are staying with the stock size you don't need a wider rim.

Now if you want to change the look, then go ahead. Remember this is your truck and nobody's opinion matter, only yours. Do what you want.

I have to see which tire will give me a more aggressive look and great mpg's. So far I really like the Grapplers.
 
You will be very happy with P rated Terra Grapplers. If gas mileage is your main concern and aggressive looks. I had them on my 4th Gen and they were great tires, super quiet, and handled highway miles without a problem. There is a G2 version of the Terra Grappler out now.

How are the G2's different?

Would I use the same sensors I have when I switch tires?
