Off road tire recommendation size 315/75/R16

[ajordan1975]

Since no one has tossed out Cooper Tires here goes, I’m in year 3 on AT3 XLT’s. My 80 is a DD that gets wheeled about 4 times a year, these tires are fantastic on road and have surprised me off-road. I have KM3’s on the 40 and KO2’s on the 100, I’ll definitely be going with Coopers on the 100 next time.

Man i love Katemcy. Some of the best wheeling in Texas! That's definitely one thing i miss about living in Austin.

Thanks for the suggestion on the tires. Where did you get the solid, non sliding rear side windows? I haven’t seen that before.

I am a BFG fan boi, and really wanted the new KM3's when it was new tire time a couple of years ago, but there was nothing available. I ended up ordering some Firestone Destination M/T and have been VERY happy with them so far. They will startle you on occasion as they like to pick up rocks and toss them into your fenderwell.

Lots of good suggestions already. To throw in one more, I've been very happy with Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my HDJ81.

They've handled every terrain type I can throw at them, quiet at highway speeds, and the sidewalls aren't overly stiff, allowing them to air down nicely. The only issue would be snow/ice, which these are terrible in - this applies to mud tires generally, too. I don't drive my 80 in the winter, so it isn't an issue for me.

My Dad did legal work for Toyota back in the day and was able to buy a vehicle every 5 years, he ordered that 80 with no 3rd row seats, cloth interior and the lockers. 1997 and it’s the only one I’ve seen in person. Mom was going to have it towed away after my Dad developed dementia and I stepped in and sent a truck for it.
