I’ve mentioned it in other posts but looks like I will be buying new tires as soon as I can for my gx470. It has a 2.0-2.5” lift from Radflo and then I have stock wheels with spidertrax spacers. I currently have Toyo AT 2s which have done well mostly, but they have not been so great in snow/icy stuff. I do live in the PNW and drive in wet highway conditions mostly, but also do some driving in mud, dirt, or unimproved roads to get in to fish or access areas. I have also taken it slowly up some pretty rocky stuff in the occasional weekend trip. And then we deal with snow/ice once in a while and I also head over the cascade passes a few times a year which can be nasty. So basically a tire for everyday use but still handle the ice snow and trails.
I have been back and forth on deciding on tires (I apologize to those who have given me good advice that I haven’t acted on yet), but I’m hoping I can get some good feedback on the ones I am considering.
Please post if you can help with supporting recommendations on any of these for my kind of conditions (or any cautions on problems you have experienced). Your feedback is truly welcomed as I need to pull the trigger pretty quick.
I’m looking at the following;
Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs
Falken Wildpeaks
Cooper Stt
KO2s -I think I am removing these based on the balancing issues and wet road manners I read about
