Post!Anybody got pics of wildpeaks or Toyo AT3’s on their rig to share?
Those look good. The sidewall lugs don't look quite as comprehensive as KO2's b, but it seems like a lot of people prefer these for road manners. I love my KO2s offroad, but they've been pretty noisy and seem to go out of balance all the time. I've had them rebalanced 2-3 times since mounting.Falken tire. I'd consider using that $55 (x5 road haz) on a sixth tire that you might use someday.
Why not just run KO3s if you like the KO2s?Got a sidewall flat, got 48K on my KO2's. KO2's are about to be discontinued. Guess I should probably get a new set. I hate to ask, as the only thing more debated over here is "should I use premium gas"... but here we go... (deep inhale)
What tires do you guys think are the best LT AT tires for the trail in 2024?

I'll raise my hand for another vote for BFG. I've never had an issue with the KO2's, not getting noisy nor needing alignment. They just run fine. We have them on both my wife's 4x4 Taco and mine.Those look good. The sidewall lugs don't look quite as comprehensive as KO2's b, but it seems like a lot of people prefer these for road manners.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Costco. Seems like it's a pain to get in, but paying $55 extra per tire seems silly, especially since Discount is always trying to sell me tires before I need them : /
I would of bought KO2's but I couldn't justify the extra cost over the Nittos or my current Generals.I'll raise my hand for another vote for BFG. I've never had an issue with the KO2's, not getting noisy nor needing alignment. The just run fine. We have them on both my wife's 4x4 Taco and mine.
The BFG M/T's will get noisy at about half worn, but haven't noticed it with the KO2's.
This. I like my tire noise to be masked by engine/wind noise. My last set balanced well. I've got about 6k on these and are riding smooth.but they've been pretty noisy and seem to go out of balance all the time
Costco has a good warranty, they inflate with nitrogen, cheaper and they're pretty much all over the country if you get a puncture.Yeah, I'm leaning towards Costco.

They are the best "do it all" tire out there in my opinion.Another vote for Toyo Open Country A/T III's. I have done a lot of off-roading and road trips in my GX and previous Tacoma with these tires and have been quite impressed.

One thing to consider... you're much more likely to run into the "Sir, the tire size you want is not the stock size that comes on your vehicle from the factory sir, and we can't install those for you sir" razz-ma-tazz at Costco. Seems to depend on location, and who you get at the tire counter so maybe you'll get lucky - or you won't.Those look good.

As mentioned, must be per store. Our local Costco had no problem when I asked the to put 315/70R17's on my GX. They just asked if I was sure it was going to fit, which I confirmed.One thing to consider... you're much more likely to run into the "Sir, the tire size you want is not the stock size that comes on your vehicle from the factory sir, and we can't install those for you sir" razz-ma-tazz at Costco.

At the Costco nearest me, they wouldn't sell or install a 265-65-18 tire on my GX because it's not the 'stock' size. YMMV.
100% thisAll the more reason to just use your local independent tire shop
All the more reason to just use your local independent tire shop. Mine called to confirm the size I wanted was a 285 and that I had some rubbing after the install, but was otherwise totally amenable to putting whatever I wanted on the rig. None of the BS of the place overtly trying to harvest customer data or saying something is "against their policy". The dude I order tires from is in his 50s and has been selling them for 30+ years, compared to the 22 year old kid at the chain place. Discount is probably a little better than our regional chain (Plaza) but is still a sanitized, corporate experience. I haven't tried getting tires at a Sams/Costco as the nearest stores are 50+ miles from here.
Sweet shot! But is it me, or is your wife flipping you off? My wife feels more or less the same way when I say, "Can we pull over here so I can spend 15 minutes getting the perfect shot of the GX?"![]()
I've been really happy with these tires
