Power Wagon Tires - Post Up Your Info

[Gamedog]

Figured I'd post up initial thoughts following the thread post format...

Brand: Toyo Open Country C/T
Size: 35 x12.50 R17
Rubbing: No
MPG: No noticeable change
Off road performance: Great in dirt, good in mud (although not much dep mud encountered so far)
Wet performance: Great
Highway comfort: Great - not much louder than stock Duratracs
Snow/Ice: Great - handled fresh snow, slushy highways and icy patches very well
Lift or level Required: No
Tread life: So far only 2,800 miles or so. No noticeable wear
PSI: 50 front and rear

So far I have been extremely pleased with these CT's. Surefooted in all conditions and surprisingly quiet given the fairly aggressive tread pattern.

Only con I would have is that the installer had to balance them twice to get them balanced out. Could have been installer error, could be the tires, not sure. I plan to rotate them soon and will see if they struggle with balancing them out again.

I too have the 35" Toyo C/T's, but with 5K miles on them. Running 35 PSI cold all around. No balancing issues. No rub. No lift. Running 5 tires. They fit perfectly underneath in the spare location. I haven't rotated them due to there's absolutely no noticeable wear on any.

I've driven across snow and ice on Hoosier Pass, Vail Summit, Tennessee Pass, Emigrant Pass in Utah, Wilkerson Pass, and over the top of the Grand Mesa. I have driven through mud within the San Rafael Swell.

I am quite pleased of their performance from negative 6 Fahrenheit temperatures near Salina, Utah to 75 degrees later the same day in Fontana, California. Outstanding tires. Not once have these tires slipped. They grab at crawl speed and perform excellent at 80 MPH plus highway speeds. My MPG hasn't changed.

I think you`re going to like the Kanati`s, on my 2ed set and really like them in ALL conditions up here in the mtns at 7k ft!

For the price you can't beat them. Balanced well and are not that loud. I am sure they will become louder as they wear. I love the looks

I'm running Trail Hogs on my Laramie.
I really like them too.
Almost 20,00 miles on them and they are still about +70%.
I'm thinking of putting Mud Hogs on my Power Wagon ( if it ever gets here!)
FYI- the Trail Hogs DO get louder as they wear, but I've had worse...

Brand: Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Size: 35x12.50
rubbing:None
MPG:Seem unchanged. Maybe even a hair better. Hard to tell as I got them only a few weeks before the lockdown.
Off road performance: If driving through my yard counts, then pretty good.
Wet performance: Seems fine
Highway comfort: My wife thinks they ride better than stock (I agree)
Snow/Ice: I live in Nashville, TN and we didn't get any snow this year
Lift or level Required: None
Tread life: Seems good so far (granted I have only a few hundred miles on them)

If you dont mind me asking, what size and offset on those wheels? And any other angles? Looks great!

Quieter than the Duratracs they replaced.
Definitely not as loud as my KO2s or the Trailhogs.
Sometimes tires get louder as they wear so we'll see, but I think they are pretty quiet for as aggressive as they are.

Folks that get aftermarket wheels and tires for their new PW, what did you do with the OEM wheels and tires? Sell them online? Is there demand for the OEM wheels?

There's no demand for OEM wheels and tires even in like new condition. Send them to me to dispose of them properly.

I just got a set of 35’ k02s the tire guy gave me 900 plus the 13% sales tax off of the price for my old tires. So my new set of tires only cost 1200 with out the tire trade it would have been 2400 with all the tax and I don’t need to deal with people that will buy used tires??

I ordered the black OEM rims so I kept them.
My new 35s ran me $230/ea installed.
I sold the oem Duratracs with 500 miles on them for $200/ea to my uncle for his F350.
