Cooper vs bf vs toyo

At3 vs ko2 vs OC at. Looking for best overall tire. Tread wear, noise, rain, snow ect.

Look at the nitto EXO grappler, it has a 3 peak snow rating

I've got KO2's and I like them. They produce more road hum than I thought they would and will really talk to you if they start wearing irregular (though any tire will). And yes, I've run MT's and Swampers so take that into consideration when I say they are louder than I thought they'd be. They are not loud by any stretch but not as quiet as anticipated if that makes any sense. Biggest gripe is cost, BFG is sure proud of their tires.

I originally wanted the Toyos but the size I wanted was on backorder at the time so that's that

Saw the AT3's in person at the tire shop last week when my alignment was getting corrected and they sure look good, pictures just don't that tire any justice.

I too like the ko2. The road noise doesn't bother me as it could be a lot worse. But dang can those things throw a rock. 1000 miles and about 5 new chips on the side of my truck. Thats really my only complaint

That's the same as with the ko's. Need flares for sure.

I think I'm gonna try some 3m clear adhesive…

One thing to note is the KO2s are about 10lbs heavier per tire than the coopers or toyos.
(I am assuming you are sticking with stock size)
55lbs vs 44lbs vs 44lbs

I'm running the Toyo AT2s. Good on road ride, work very well offroad. I've
"tested" in sand, mud, snow, and water. The only time I've gotten legitimately stuck is when I tried to cross a 5 foot snow drift that I underestimated in a whiteout blizzard.

I'm looking at 275 65 20. I know they are all good tires from other threads I've read. I never go off road mainly cuz stock tires are horrendous. But manly road use but I like the idea of little off road use and being able to get around in winter snow storms. My truck wouldn't nice in 4 inches of snow with the wrangler hp's and they only had 5k miles on them.

Toyo right now is cream of the crop. Nitto and Toyo are made in the exact same factory right next to each other. They are #1 and #2.

Crazy you ask. I looked into the BFG line and also the Toyo line before I decided. I found 60/40 reviews on the BFG KO2 (60% for and 40% against). I figured if they are good enough for the ford raptor then they should be good enough for me. They have ran the Baja 1000 too. But, I decided against them.

But, I was torn because it seems like a ton of people run the Toyo MT. All I could find are top notch reviews with the only "con" being price. I paid between 400-405$ each for a set of 35x12.5R20's. But, who would have guessed, a damn MT tire was a popular choice for Baja off road racing too!! Crazy right?! A MT tire lol.

So far, my toyos are holding up great and I get a ton of compliments. Mostly by dudes lol but occasionally women. Which I like. In southern CA there is not much mud but tons of sand and they do pretty good. Can't complain.

Wish I owned this truck hahaha.

Sorry, never ran coopers. Can't comment.

Just my two cent. I had Toyo ATIIs. I know you aren't looking at these but I wanted to comment with my experience with my Toyos. I put just under 39k on them and they kept wearing uneven after multiple alignments and balances. Tires started chunking apart. Anyways I paid about 370 per a tire. They were 35x1250x20. I looked around and found pro comp at sport 37x1250x20. They were $20 cheaper and actually weigh 5lbs lighter. 60k warranty. Just my two cents.

Forgot about procomps. Those are pretty good tires too. Quiet and hold up very well. Procomp tires are made from a very well known parent
Company and stamped with their procomp logo.

Well I'm looking at all terrain not mud terrain. And after talking to a few guys in truck clubs I think I'm sold on the cooper at3. Tire looks awesome In person. Pictures don't give that tire justice. And a 55k warranty is a plus for me. So far I haven't heard over the top spectacular reviews but no nightmares about them. For the price I'm going for it. "I can't say anything bad about them" and "never been stuck with them" is pretty much all I heard from a handful of people that are running these. The Toyos I heard nightmares about being bad in mud and snow and the fact they wear bad.

 

[Rustproofcorn]

Good choice. Those are a beautiful tire. If my local guy wasn't so uneducated on wheels I might have went the color route. I ended up with the RT's which I love. 45k warranty. I have ran a few sets of toyo at's and would recommend them in a second. Didn't have any weird wear at all. Now the toyo mt's really needed to be rotated every 3k miles or they would start to wear weird.

Look into the cooper atp. It's a discount tire exclusive. They are a great looking tire with awesome reviews. My buddy has a set and loves them. Personally, I have ran bfg ats, duratracs, and now cooper st maxx. Plus a few mts. The bfgs are great for on road use and last forever, but j had bad experiences with them off-road and on ice. The duratracs were amazing in all terrains including mud and snow. I sold the truck they were on before they wore out, but I would guess they would have lasted 45k miles. I'm currently running st maxx and have nothing but great things to say about them. I have not had them off road yet or in snow, but on road manners are excellent and appear to be wearing very well

Just put a set of toyo at2 extremes on this past weekend. Ride smooth little to no hum and look mean as hell in person for an AT tire. A little bonus is they have a 50k mile warranty as well.

 

[tysondodge]

Have to throw my two cents in. I had the same problems as Hitman0002 with the Toyo ATIIs. Plus for an AT tire they made a lot of road noise. I went to my local tire shop and went with a new Rim company and new tire company. 20x12 Vision Prowlers and Amp tires. The Toyos handled like crap in the rain and on wet roads. The Amp tires are almost quiet and handled pretty darn good! And they're cheaper!

Update

So quick update on tire. Like I said, I switched to the Pro Comp AT Sports (37's). I already have 4k on them in a month and honestly. These tires have like no hum to them. They are wearing correctly and I am very happy I got rid of those Toyo ATIIs. The toyos are a lot heavier and cost more the my 37's did. I know to each his own... or however that saying goes.
