anybody want to recommend a 18" 33?

[b56tc]

time for new grips

I'm looking for anyone that has been pleased with their 18 x 33" all season/all terrain.

My 100 is expedition use, not rocks or mud; mostly hard surface, occasional ice or snow, occasional unimproved back roads. Looking for a durable but road-quiet option; anybody had a particularly good or bad experience with theirs?

txs

I personally haven't, but my friend has a Tundra with 33" tires (on 18" rims). They are BFG's. I've driven it on a few occasions, and they did well. I didn't hear too much road noise.

Off-road, they're great. I don't think you can go wrong with them.

I have the Toyo A/T's and absolutly LOVE them, I had them on my Denali and now on my FJ62 as a daily driver. Honestly these are the best all around tires I have owned-they have been on pure ice, deep snow, wet/dry roads, sand, rocks, and handle all with no problems. I will not buy a different steet tire. I have no affiliation to Toyo, but cant wait to try out the M/T's!

after a bunch of research we got Nitto TGs for the 18" wheels. For light duy offroad.

how is the road noise with the Toyos and Nittos?

Toyo AT- What road noise? The other thing is they do not wander around the road.

You should look at REVO's

I have the 33 x 13.40x18 Nitto terra grapplers and I give them 2 enthusiastic thumbs up.

Low noise, very round and good looking on a 100 series....nice and wide.

OK, Got Revos on now, they're great road tires but way oriented to road v. all terrain; and they don't come in a 33 that I see.

Toyo ATs are interesting - and should be at $305/tire - but the 285 is a 32.5 in tire; next up is a 325 which is 34.5 in; can't get away with that without doing a whole suspension deal, trying to just adjust the torsion bars


Any no-kidding true 33's + that anyone's used for 18's?
And should I expect to pay roughly $300/meat?

All tires for 18" rims are expensive unfortunately. I think that the 285s are your best bet, they are slightly smaller than a 33" but most 33s measure short anyway. Although I don't have direct experience with this size I see the following as good options for you in addition to the Nittos and Toyos that have been mentioned:

The Nitto's also come in a 285/65 that is 32.5" but is cheaper ($216 @ discounttire.com). Nitto is the same company as Toyo and the tread design of those two tires "look" similiar. Not sure how the construction compares though.

The BFG AT/KO's also come in a 305/65-18 that measures 33.7"

I don't run 18"s but I'd also give thumbs up to Nitto terra Grapler. Great in the snow and ice. Quieter than factory roof rack.

farinvail, i assume you live in Vail, CO?

so many of you are recommending this tire?

Im also interested in a nice 18" wheel as hopfully when i get a set of 18" wheels im going to need new tires. My Michelin LTX M/S' are great on the 16 inch but i cant seem to find a nice 18" tire.

Pro-comps stink. See the recent thread on the 80 page about reliability issues with them.
