really like the look of the michelin t/a2's...very good tire and fit on the truck. I have 17" Evo wheels and thinking of doing 285/70/17 t/a2's. how do you like them?

I like them. Very quiet and the benefit is that if you keep an eye on FB Marketplace, you can find a set of takeoffs or takeoffs+wheels from Tundras pretty regularly.

I got my 18" BBS TRD Pro wheels + the Michelins for around $2k on FB Marketplace. The tires by themselves are usually $280/each + the wheels at $500/each.

The only thing I dislike when they are brand new is that the tread is so deep that I can sometimes feel a bit of "sway" going around a corner.

A few days ago I was sold on going with KO2's in 285/70/17- C's. Now I'm flipping like a fish on the dock!!

I am looking at the Michelin Defender LTX M/S tire as well. And honestly starting to put some serious thought into considering the Defenders or the A/T2's in 265/70/17 size vs 285/70/17. The Defenders are 10.9" wide ...A/T2's are 10.7 respectively. I have a little research going on regarding braking, handling, contact patch etc of the thinner tire on the LX. Lot's of good reasons to consider both of the Michelin's in the thinner tire.

These are fairly close to you and have 5,000 miles on them. You could probably talk him down to $700-$800 and you get to try out the Michelin AT2, plus get a set of 18” Tundra wheels. If you don’t like them, resell them.

Take a look at Falken AT3W as well. I like them more than KO2.

Amazing. I’m super pleased. These are 35x10.5r17 Kenda RT at +35mm. I rolled 275/65r18 and 275/80r18 previously though.

Thank you for the heads up on the tires/wheels! Very nice of you! I have a brand new set of Evo Corse DakarZero 17x8 wheels I am putting on my LX or ...I might have chased them! Thank you!!

yeah...they looked pretty tall. Did you re-gear the truck?

Yes.

Learning to account for the bumper when picking lines. Great day at the park.

 

[DadWagon]

Those look fantastic! What size are those Falken ATW3 tires? Are you running spacers?

1" Bora and 285/60r20 on the Falkens.

 

[DadWagon]

Finally upgraded to 33s on OEM 20s. I know 20s are a faux pas for off-road, but I just love the look on these trucks and did not want to spend more dollars on new wheels. Maybe after I run through these and look at going up to 35s I will consider 18s.

I love the Mich AT2s if they had the size I wanted I would have gotten them no question.

Got on the ferry on our way to Ireland!

 

[Texops]

Went to a birthday party and had to park in the grass time for Hi mode lol haven’t took it off-road yet but soon.

Day 1 complete in Ireland. Drove from Dublin to the start of the Wild Atlantic Way in Derry. Visited the Fanad Lighthouse and got into our campsite in Rosguill after dark.

Awesome that you are able to do this while there. Do they still do the fuel coupon nonsense? I feel like they rationed them while I was stationed there, but that was a life time ago.

Got the DadWagon out in it's natural habitat yesterday in the mountains for a little fishing.

Take a look at Falken AT3W as well. I like them more than KO2.

Maybe anecdotal, but I have several friends with Raptors and they come fitted stock with a certain benchmark tire. My buddy this morning was all excited to tell me he got Falken AT3Ws and is looking forward to our next offroad trip. $1600+ for the set and he was happy to spend it.

No longer the discount option it once was. Falken's have earned a reputation as a performance option to possibly pay a premium for.
