Tyres

[jayfrem]

Hi there

Have a 2011 LC 200 with 22 k miles on.

Doesn t see too much miles due to frequent travel.

Truck has the OE Dunlop AT i believe.

Few questions:

- If there is not too many miles tyres start to dry up after 3-4 years correct ? Making them loose wet traction.

- Where i am in Lebanon we get snow on the ski slopes where i usually go.

I was thinking of the BF Goodrich AT or Yokohama AT S.

Truck is daily DD for the family with 2 kids 3 and 2 year old.

Would the BF goodrick AT affect ride quality and create noise ?

The BFG KO2 would be a very good fit. It is snow rated. Not very noisy at all. Yes tyres can get weather cracked and hardened.

I have not owned the ko2 bfg but have owned the original bfg kos on various trucks. Good tires, weak points were wet traction faded quick, but overall wear was pretty good. Mud traction was also on the weak side, they were prone to packing issues, in the clay mud we have around here.

I currently have the yokohama geolander ATs on both my cruisers now, love that tire.

For the LC and the use your describing, i think the yokohama might be a better choice.
