Tundra tires, need recommendation
« on: June 18, 2023, 01:22:49 PM »
Hey all,

I need a recommendation for some new tires on my Toyota Tundra.  I am replacing my oem BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires.

I do dirt roads while hunting, boat launches, etc…. Mostly roads taking the dirt bikes to trails.  It’s not my daily driver.

What is a decent affordable and readily available tire for my needs.  I’m not much of a car guy so don’t need super fancy or bragging tires.

Is it possible to get away with ~$1000?

How about these?  Wal-Mart or Costco is easy for me.

Thanks for your help.

I sell a ton of those coopers and have them on my expedition.  They’re awesome. They’ll be more than $1k. Maybe $1200-1300.

Tires, like many things, ask ten people get ten different answers so I won't make any suggestions on that since you likely already have many, but I will say before you buy a set see if Tire Rack has what you want and consider buying them from Tire Rack because they offer a free two year road hazard protection on the tires they sell.

Last fall I bought a set of winter tires from TR for my wife's car.  Typically I buy most of my tires from Discount Tire locally but they didn't have any and Tire Rack did and since they are owned by the same company I had them drop shipped to Discount Tire for the install.  I never really paid attention to the road hazard protection plan TR offers, in fact, I'd completely forgot all about it until a few months ago my wife ran over something on her way home from the airport and it wrecked the tire.  I ordered a replacement the next day on line and paid for it.  As I was ordering it I noticed their tires come with the road hazard plan so I called them up explained I had already ordered and paid for the replacement and they said no worries we will get it refunded for you.  Their protection plan is through a third party but they were great to deal with as well and walked me through all the steps and opened my claim for me.  After opening the claim I sent them a couple pics of the tire and about two weeks later I had a check for the three hundred and some odd dollars the replacement tire cost me.  All I had to pay was the mounting/balancing.  There was no BS involved and no hoops I had to jump through.  The tires on my wife's car are stupid expensive so I was happy to only have to pay for mounting and balancing.

Falken Wildpeak AT or Firestone Transforce AT...I've used them both and both are great! Have the Falken on my F350 now and they are great. My F350 is not my daily driver. Its used for hauling the ATV trailer, boat, camper, stock trailer, and over the roads in the Colockum a bit...Hope you find a good deal!

Tire Rack and Discount Tire are owned by the same company?
Are you sure?
Do they honor each other's warranty?

I believe Discount Tire purchased Tire Rack in 2021

I put Falken Wildpeaks on my Tundra and I absolutely love them, it's been a long time since I have seen a tire this good.

BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2

3 years on the Yakima Training Center with them.  I have been to Clover Springs on them.  I made a few trips up Colockum Pass Road in them to as well.   Saying that, I have put them on some really crappy road and they have performed very well for and everyone else I know who runs them.

+1 for BF Goodrich KO2's, ran them on my '01 Tundra exclusively, got me around in the snow around Republic during late archery for 20 yrs with no problems, went everywhere my buddy couldn't, same truck.  Will be putting another set on my '21 Tundra in the next few weeks, after a slight lift and different wheels.

I say -1 for bfg ko2. Garbage tires. I have had problems with every set I’ve owed. 1 set on a Tacoma, a Tahoe, and Chevy 1500. The set I had in the Tacoma broke a band. Many many flats on the chevys. Poor experience with these.

I like the maxis razor m/t but that’s probably more moeny than you want to spend.

A lot of people seem to like the falken wild peeks.

I’ve had a really good experience with these tires here.   https://www.herculestire.com/treads/terra-trac-tg-max/

BFG TA KO2s get terrible reviews on TireRack and others.
You see them on a lot of Toyotas for the look.
I have tons of miles on Falken Wildpeaks and even more on Michelin LTX AT2 (half a mil), but that's moving up to a premium tire when you really don't need it.
