My cheap, new to me '99 LX470 is in the shop currently having both CV axles, steering rack, valve cover gaskets, and spark plugs replaced. And getting an alignment with the CV and steering rack replacements. The old tires on this thing are shot, edge wear, dry rot, gotta go. I'm pretty well set on putting on something LT 285/75/16 since they fit on stock height (according to the FAQ), and there are a ton of options in this size. All of this is expensive (anticipated, but still expensive), so tires need to be on a budget best I can without resorting to Linglongs
I am not a hard core intentional off-roader or overlander. I’m the daily driver that finds the off-road in where I go. We have a farm in South GA which is mostly red clay and mud. I do regularly visit construction sites in Lowcountry SC, which are entirely mud. And we have a 21' center console to tow. But most of my time is commuting back and forth 2 miles to daycare and 3 miles to the office.
A/T - good on road, good on boat ramp, suck in mud
I put some Discount exclusive Pathfinder AT (by Hankook) on our Yukon XL and they've been great so far.
They also have the Discount exclusive Trailfinder AT. Appear to be made by Khumo?
Also had some Discount exclusive Cooper ATP on a previous truck. They performed well but had one get a slow leak that seemed to be a mystery.
Guess it’s apparent I favor Discount Tire?
Hybrid - I don't know, never owned a hybrid tire. Any suggestions on some to look at that aren't $300+ per tire? And are they truly any better with getting packed in mud than a regular AT tire?
Thoughts on Kelly Edge MT? Called an MT but look a little tighter tread like a lot of hybrids to me.
M/T - any out there that don’t completely suck on wet pavement and boat ramps?
Geolander MT reviews talk about being quieter and better ride than anticipated. Any experience with them in general, or on wet surfaces specifically?
