20 Best Highway Tires For Tacoma (2023 Updated)

I recently installed a set of 37×12. 50R17 Toyo Open Country R/T on my 2016 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. After installation I began my overland trip through Colorado into New Mexico to Arizona and back to Colorado where the tires saw a wide range of surfaces including highways, snow covered trails, rough dirt roads, deep water crossings, and sharp sand covered rocks.

My initial impression was that these tires did not have the road noise on the highway like previous tires I have ran on this truck. I also noted that the tires made the truck feel much more planted when highway driving and the truck would hug the corners which I contribute to a strong sidewall of the tire.

Those sidewalls were put to the test when off-roading in the Arizona desert. I tested the sidewall strength by deflating the tires and using the sidewall of the tires to climb up rock walls and over obstacles on the trail and the sidewall did not falter nor did they show signs of fatigue or wear.

The traction of the tires was where I was impressed the most. To my surprise the truck did not break the traction of the tires in even under aggressive acceleration when climbing or going through water crossings the tires would just claw through the elements on the trails.

When in the deep snow-covered trails in Colorado the tires stayed planted and provided ample traction providing me with the confidence to explore deeper down the snow-covered trails then I normally would alone.

In the first week I put 3,000 plus miles on these tires and I would say that I am overly impressed with the performance of the Toyo Open Country R/T. I am looking forward to seeing how these tires hold up to the abuse and miles that I put my Ram Power Wagon through over time.

I would like to say thank you to Toyo for building a rugged tire like the Toyo Open Country R/T. It is confidence building to have a tire that can provided such a premium ride and excellent off-road traction for our adventure rig.

I have had the Toyo R/T’s for about 10k miles. The tread has held up alright, I felt like they were wearing down faster than most off-road or all terrain tires. But what makes this tire actually a bad tire is that they hardly have any traction at all when the road is wet.

I have had countless times spinning the tires even under the lightest acceleration. They’re wonderful tires for driving on dry roads and they didn’t do too bad in the snow either. But, then again I’ve seen Michelin’s run through snow like it’s nothing.

I actually ended up totaling my f-250 with these tires. I was driving down the highway at 60 mph with no load, going up a slight incline. Out of nowhere the back tires broke loose and my rear end swung out to the side.

I tried to regain traction by letting off the gas and the brakes but I just kept sliding across the road like a 5 year old on a downhill backyard water slide. So then I decided the use the brakes once I slid off the road.

I slid into some trees and totaled the truck. It was a light rain too. Hardly had to use the windshield wipers. Just driving a calm 60mph in a 70mph zone. No downshift. I was in overdrive the whole time until I lost traction.

No driver error. My buddy in the passenger can vouch. So overall, I personally would never buy these tires again. I don’t know if it’s the compound or the tread that makes them perform terribly on wet pavement, but I definitely DO NOT recommend to anyone!.

There isnt much on the internet about these tires so hopefully I can help. I’ve had them on a 2017 diesel super duty for 8000 miles, mixed driving. They currently have 14/32 tread. These tires will last over 50k miles under this heavy truck.

The Michelin tires were sucking up nails twice a week (I work construction) and these tires have not gotten a single nail in the few months I’ve had them. PROS: Long life. Look great. Tough tire. Great traction, in all conditions.

Balance well. Quieter than a mud tire. CONS: Wrecked fuel mileage (2-3 MPG decrease, both highway and city). Ride like they are wooden tires. Very heavy (definitely do not recommend for a half ton or lighter truck).

Noise level is similar to noisy ATs, but not as loud as MTs. In summary, if you value durability over all else, I recommend this tire. If you drive the family around as much as you work in your truck and value comfort and/or fuel efficiency, shop for a regular all terrain like everyone else does.

My previous AT tires were AT3 XLTs and they were significantly more comfortable and efficient, and I will probably go back to them, if these tires ever wear out.

I used to be a BF Goodrich guy through and through. Couldn’t convince me to even look at other tires. After discussing with a dealer about what I was using my truck for, he suggested these HT3s. I have a 2008 Ford F-350 and purchased these tires in February of 2014.

I cant believe after all the miles of towing a 5th wheel camper that these tires have worn this great. They wear very flat and I rotate every 6000 miles. Even the shop I bought them from were impressed with how good they held up and wore.

If your into off roading, these are NOT the tires for you. My truck is heavy and has actually just sit and spun on wet grass pulling a trailer of mulch, lock it into 4 high and roll on out. On the highway, I couldn’t imagine a better tire for a truck hauling campers.

My MPG increased over the factory brand tires that came on it as well. They are starting to crack in the side walls, but their over 6 years old so I’m replacing them with Cooper Discover AT3 XLT’s. Hope they wear just as good.

Now, for a set of Cooper Cobras for the Cutlass!.

This is the first time I have ever written a review for ANY product. I have been buying these tires for years! Probably 5 set over 10 years. My current set is on 2018 GMC 1500 Denali. They have 39,456 mile on them and have only been rotated once at 20000 miles.

The wear is perfectly flat. I am vigilant about tire pressure. (42 psi in the front and 32 psi in rear) Living in North Western Pennsylvania we see every weather category there is. My current tires will easily pass PA vehicle inspection.

My only complaint, which is complimentary of an aggressive tire, is that they create road noise and noise has been getting worse since 35000 miles. I am going to rotate and see if noise gets better. Plan to buy again and again.

I bought my 2500 had Chevy with these tires on it and they were in good shape but not brand new. 50,000 miles later, I’m finally replacing them! A large amount of those miles done pulling my fifth wheel camper and gooseneck trailer.

I wish I would have measured the tread when I got the truck, I figured they “would be good for a while” but 50,000 miles later?! I would have never guessed that. 2 of the 4 I’m even going to keep as spares (I didn’t keep them rotated as much as I should.

I’m running a set of firestones HT’s I had laying around, but when it comes time to buy new tires, I’m probably going to buy these K02’s again. I can’t believe how long they lasted. The reviews mentioning tire wear must have had some horrific alignment issues.

Great tires for all your SUV needs. Handles great on pave roads regardless of snow, rain, or dry. Very predictable and sure handling. Very minimal road noise, considering its a A/T tire. And also does well off road and handles all that you throw at it there.

I have it on my 05 Liberty Renegade, upgraded from the stock Goodyear Wranglers, which were horrible tires, and went with a 245/70/16 size upgrade (widest allowed on stock suspension) from a 225/75/16 and the jeep and tires have perform flawlessly.

Recently bought my 2nd set and installed. But found out that Firestone has discontinued this tire and introduced a newer version “The Destination A/T2”. But have also raised the price significantly, which is a turn off for me.

As the price point and performance of the Original Destination A/T tire was just right. For the new Price point that Firestone wants, I’m better off looking at other brands with proven performance/history that are in the same price point.

So they may lose alot of customers, me being one of them in the future.

Of course these all-terrain tires rumble a bit, however I experience several manufacturing defects such as dipping and out of round. At one point balancing a tire required 7 oz. That’s excessive. The Firestone store in Lacey Washington could not road force the tires, which is a better way to test the balance.

I took it back and got the one particularly bad tire replaced. Still there was the wobble. To top things off the manager of the Firestone store told me that I absolutely could not get a refund based on the 90-day ride and try program.

That official Firestone policy says that you can get a replacement or refund “no questions asked”. I verified my initial understanding of the program online and found out he was not telling me the truth.

I actually got him to say I couldn’t get a refund twice. I confronted him about it and he said he didn’t know that. So here I am a customer who knows more about the Firestone policy than the Firestone manager supposedly.

Well I now have approx 3500 miles on the X/Ts these tires are a great all around tire From 6 inches of snow up north to icy roads coming back and muddy work job sites I feel confident With the traction they deliver now for life of the tire I see very little tread wear yet so I believe I will get the 50,000 miles of life the ride so far is good but its a load range E tire so they are going to be hard now as for noise these are not noisey but they are hummers you know there there.

The only thing I dislike about the tires Is that I am the guy that has stones In his tires and they will release in the wheel well or into ?. But I do recommend theses tires.

I have this set installed on a 2010 Jeep JK which is lifted. I used to run Goodyear MTRs but decided to try Toyo which my friend recommended. Now, I will never buy anything BUT Toyo. The tires are so well balanced even for 35s, the ride is very good on highway along with directional stability.

No wondering with these OC MTs. Offroad – traction is great in sand, mud and snow. I rotate my tires (5 wheel rotation) every 6K miles by hand. I do this every time I change oil and the wear is SO even.

If you don’t rotate and you get uneven wear – that’s a you problem. If you don’t get your wheels balanced – that’s also a you problem. Treating these tires properly will make them last a long time. I just got a JT Gladiator and will be putting Toyos on it as well.

My JK needs a new set as well so more money for tires and in this case – Toyo. These tires have been through the Black Rock Desert, Alabama Hills, Coyote Flats, Panoche Hills – BLM land and performed perfectly.

I was looking for a set of aggressive mud tires. After looking around I decided to go with a set 35×12. 5r17s on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. Installed these February of 2012 with 100k on the truck. I have had these through 2-3 foot snow drifts, gone through some pretty nasty mud holes and towed way more weight than my truck is rated for and have never had an issue with the tires.

They do everything a mud tire is supposed to do and some things a mud tires shouldn’t do. It has done everything very well. When I bought these tires I was warned that they will only last 30-40k due to the aggressive tread pattern.

With just over 80k miles on them them now I feel like I have got my money’s worth. They are starting to show signs of age with some weather cracks, the front tires are starting to chop a little but not bad.

Mostly due to a lack of tire rotations. I have recommended and bragged about these tires often. I would strongly recommend these to anyone looking for a mud tire. If you are wondering yes they do make some noise, I feel like they are on the lower average of the mud tire world for noise.

Yes I did notice a decrease in fuel economy but I went to a larger tire from the factory size. Yes I did notice a steering difference but only until I figured out what air pressure to run the tires at.

50psi was the sweet spot on my truck lower pressure cause a wondering feel at high way speed higher pressure made the ride feel rough. I never really noticed a braking feel change tho. I hope this helps someone make a decision on these tires.

I bought these tires (37-13. 50-R17) hoping for the best. I knew when the tire shop balanced them they were going to be great. It took very minimal weight to balance them. The guy said they were as round as a Michelin street tire.

They are awesome! I rotate every 3000-3500 miles. I have 25K miles on them and they look great. No doubt I’ll get 60K+ out of them. I use my truck for daily driving, work and off road. They worked flawlessly on the trails at Uwharrie National Forest and others.

You will not be disappointed!.

I have read else where about how loud these tires are. I have to say I think they are very quiet for a more aggressive tread. I barely hear them going down the highway. I have no complaints with the traction these tires offer for a hybrid A/T design.

They have never left me stranded in the snow, and perform rather well in in the greasy wyoming mud. There is not a lot of siping but they still feel planted on winter roads. I am impressed with the wear of these tires.

I do rotate about every 5000 miles. I currently have just over 60,000 miles on this set and they will get me through the summer camping season. I would highly recommend this tire for someone that enjoys getting in the back country but also wants a tire that performs well as a daily driver.

I put these on my 2011 Suzuki Equator RMZ-4 and I am glad I did. Aside from looking great they handle great on the road while being a bit louder then my BF Goodrich Rugged Trails. They handle so much better then the Rugged Trails.

In the mud and slop these tires chewed through the terrain. Just had them on the road during a heavy rain storm and these fun country tires handled like a champ. The tread is deep and the side walls are aggressive looking.

Highly recommended tires for all your on/off road adventures.

I have only had the tire a few weeks and what I can tell you is that the rubber of the treds seem to be more hard then the bfgoodrich that are so popular. I had them side by side before they got put on.

That being said they are a little noisy, nothing unusual for an AT tire and have a great tred. I hoping to get good use out of this tire from traveling both on highway and off road from Chicago to California.

Maybe I’ll offer a more solid review after that. Yes I would buy these again.

Have had these tires on for about a month now. Pros = Good price, design pattern is nice and suitable for both on and off road use, load range capacity meets my requirements. Cons = Appears to wear out quicker than my old set of tires (KO2), a bit noisier than I would like, some vibration at high speed over 70mph.

Other than the above comments, I would say it’s definitely a good buy if you want decent tires at a more affordable price.

Have these on a 2011 Silverado 1500 and have put 10K km on these tires in a wide range of driving conditions. In short, if you’re looking for a tire to use year round in mixed on/off road driving I would definitely recommend these tires and would buy again.

I do 80/20 on/off road driving and have had Michelin Defender LTX and Duratracs before and was looking for something in between the performance of these two. On road: the Coopers are quiet and smooth with no noticeable difference in ride quality/handling from the LTX, no noticeable affect on mpg.

Better road manners than the Duratracs, especially at highway speed. Off road: the off roading I do is light. Mostly gravel/dirt roads, wet grass, and light mud (at most half a foot). The Coopers do great on gravel/dirt, the rock ejectors do their job and the truck feels planted the entire time through corners and hills.

Zero issues with wet grass, flat or on a hill. Would not be my top choice for mud, the Duratracs really shine here. Coopers have some slippage in deeper sections in 2WD where the Duratracs wouldn’t. In 4WD the Coopers can take on mud conditions with ease where you have stock clearance.

Winter: The Coopers do very well in snow, zero issues, no noticeable difference from the Duratracs. Better on ice than the Duratracs, but ice is ice so nothing is going to beat a dedicated winter tire.

On ice there is slippage (with an empty truck bed) when accelerating from a stop in 2WD, but in 4WD have had zero issues. Overall a good tire in winter conditions. The Coopers are a great year round all-terrain tire for a truck/SUV and perfect for my needs!.

I bought these to replace the OEM tires on my 4Runner and I’m very happy with them. I have a couple thousand miles on them so far and have driven in all conditions, dry, hot, wet, snow, ice, dirt/gravel roads, and a little bit of mud.

They have handled all conditions very well and have given me a sense of confidence/safety that I was looking for. Compared to your standard highway tire they only added a slight bit of noise, definitely quieter than other tires in this segment that I’ve experienced.

I wasn’t able to notice an MPG decrease either, maybe. 5mpg loss if there is any difference. They cut through water very nicely, they’re really good in the snow, especially fresh snow, and they are showing no damage or signs of wear so far.

I will say if you encounter mud often look at other tires, these seem to fill up with mud and lose performance very quickly. The only thing holding them back from 5 stars for me is that they are not fully siped, so about halfway through the life of these tires the sipes will be gone and your water/snow performance will decrease.

My next tires will have full depth siping.

I purchased these for my 2016 Honda CR-V AWD. a bit more aggressive than what you typically find on stock CR-V’s, but my Michigan exploring and photography sometimes takes me through rougher back roads and 2-tracks, even during extremely harsh and heavy winters.

Let me tell you: These tires ROCK! Since the majority of my driving is still on paved roads, after seeing the awesome but fairly aggressive tread, I was really concerned that these would be noisy, handle rather loosely on the curvy paved roads, or be uncomfortable or sketchy when hitting rough spots on the highways at higher speeds.

Immediately after getting them installed, I was pleasantly surprised and almost shocked at how quiet these tires are, and how well they grab the road and handle through curves, turns, and day-to-day driving including on the highway where they absorb bumps well, and still feel solid.

I have much more peace of mind venturing out into rougher areas now as these grab through the dirt and mud extremely well, and although I haven’t had them through winter yet, have no doubt that they will also be exceptional performers in the snow.

I’m actually really looking forward to that! My wife’s 2011 CR-V is due for new tires this fall, and I’m very seriously considering stepping her up to these awesome tires as well! Besides their exceptional performance, they look awesome too!.

I ordered these for my 2013 Nissan Rogue, for the coming winter season. The price was great, the shipping was fast. The tires were mounted two days after receipt, I have driven them for a week and a little more.

They are great, have good traction in wet conditions. My main reason for wanting them. I anticipate putting them to further testing this weekend. I need to do some preseason scouting. The tires handle very well and have very little road noise.

I typically drive them on secondary roads, but also on interstate highways. No vibration at 80 mph.

I have Toyo Open County A31 Tires on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma. Size P24-75-R16. They came as original equipment when I bought the Tacoma new at the dealership in 2019. I have always had my tires rotated and balanced as required at the dealership.

I have a front end alignment every year at the dealership. I do air checks every 30 days. I maintain my Tacoma very well at the dealership and my vehicle has no mechanical problems. If there were problems my Tacoma is still under warranty.

However the Dealership does not warranty my Toyo tires and instructed me to take problems such as premature wearing, chunking and tires having to be replaced by 19,500 mile directly to Toyo. I only use my Tacoma for In Town and Highway use.

No Off road use. My Toyo tires on my 2019 Tacoma tires started off with 11/23 tread when new in August 2019. I noticed rapid wear and chunking on my Toyo Open Road A31 tires. By October 2021 my Toyo Open Road A31 Tires had worn down to 5/32 and closer to 4/32 and had a chunking rubber loss problem on all 4 tires.

The wear pattern was straight across on all 4 tires. I have only received 19,500 miles and about 2 years on my Toyo tires. I contacted Toyo and followed the warranty procedure. Toyo offered a 25% discount as settlement towards the purchase of 4 new Toyo Tires that would be comparable for my Tacoma.

I felt this 25% discount was unacceptable as I would still have to take 784. 00 out of my pocket for 4 new Toyo tires. Or about 975. 00 out of my pocket if I wanted a 5th tire for a matching spare. I found this 25% discount settlement by Toyo to be unacceptable.

My Toyo Tires , Open Range A31 prematurely wore down to the 5/32 almost 4/32 range with chunking rubber loss at 19,500 miles at about 2 years old. I contacted Toyo Tire to inquire if they could do better that 25% off new tires and Toyo Tires informed me that their 25% discount was all they would do.

I found this unacceptable. I am disappointed. I believe an acceptable settlement from Toyo would be 75% off 4 new comparable Toyo Tires such as the Toyo HT2 Light Truck Tire. Toyo notes in their website Total Confidence and No Regrets.

I do not have confidence in my current Toyo Tires and I do have regrets with my current Toyo Tires as they prematurely wore out at 19,500 miles have chunking rubber loss and must be replaced. I look forward to hearing back from Toyo Tire on how we can settle this matter.

Thank You.

The Toyo Open Country H/T II set of 4 which I recently installed on my 2019 Lexus LX 570 are performing really well in all circumstances: dry, wet and at interstate speeds, short stops too. Now have about 2500 miles on them.

No snow use right now here on the east coast. Ride not at all harsh. Excellent cornering and handling. I give the tires all around 5’s except for a slight whine detected at interstate speeds but this is not much of a concern, so for noise factor give them a 4.

5. Tires America was easy to deal with on line and the delivery came in three days right to my repair shop ready for installation. Soon another Lexus we own will need 4 tires and I plan on ordering same Toyo’s from Tires America.

These tires are perfect. I received them very quickly at Pep Boys and they were installed the next day. They did a front end alignment and I drove home. I was very surprised with the performance as my 2020 GMC Canyon 4×4 Denali was actually giving me a smoother more comfortable driving experience.

I love these new tires and I don’t have any complaints whatsoever. Thanks TireBuyer.

I am very impressed with the Finalist Terreno tires I bought at Walmart. com. I had them shipped to my local Walmart and they arrived 2 days early. I made a appointment to have them installed and bought the roadside hazard as I always do.

They ride smooth and quiet. I haven’t driven in wet weather yet, but the tires seem very stable!!.

These are high quality tires. They are equivalent to 10 ply tires and have very deep tread. I highly recommend them.

I puchased 2 of these tires because they are the same ones I’ve been runningnon my Expedition since we bought it in 2015. The last set had a sidewall leak so that tire and the pair tire had to be replaced.

Now my back tires only had 20K on them so were left alone. Fast forward to older tires needing to be replaced. I bought 2 becaouse I only needed 2. WalMart refused to put them on citing some BS “manufacturer” rule about tread on 4-wheel or all wheel drive vehilces.

“Tread has to be within 2/32 or they can’t be mounted. ” This is some major BS trying to get me to buy 4 tires (2 I didn’t need yet) rather than 2. Took my vehicle to my local Ford dealer, explained what I was told by WalMart that “There is no such thing” aqnd happily mounted my tires for me.

Will never give WalMart ANY tire business again. Service alone is the reason for 1 star. So much for the “free” tire mounting.

put a set of these on my ram 1500 after the factory good year wrangler tires that came on my truck when i bought it new started to have issues with the sidewall starting to split after only 24000 miles.

i now have almost 49000 on the truck with these tires. they ride smooth with no road noise. thinking about putting a set of these on the wifes jeep as the firestone tires on her jeep have developed a wobble like feeling at low speeds.

I guess they have broken belts in 3 out of 4 tires according to the jeep dealership after only 26000 miles. they say it is because we drive on gravel. i just think new vehicles come with the cheapest tires they can possibly put on them.

i am very pleased with the Pirelli Scorpion tire. just wish they still had the raised white letter sidewall like what is on my truck.

This tire has an aggressive tread and sidewall patterns. From other reviews it does great in the snow and rain, but I haven’t gotten to test that out yet. These are a little wider than other 275mm tires, but that’s OK with me.

I replaced 305/55r20 (33×12. 5) Nitto Terra Grappler G2’s with these 275/60r20 (33×11) Pirelli’s, which are an inch narrower and a couple pounds lighter. I was hoping for some improved MPG to go along with better wet and snow traction, but they actually get about 0.

5mpg less than the larger tire. Must be increased rolling resistance due to the tread pattern. They ride smooth and are surprisingly quiet.

I am preparing to purchase my third set of these tires as I think they perform quite well for the price. I have a set on my 2001 Tacoma that I use for hauling light loads and pulling a small camper and they have performed well for this purpose.

The second set I have on my 2017 Camry XSE. These are low profile and they handle well with a quiet and smooth ride. Since I’m so satisfied with these two sets I’m ordering a third set for my Impala.

I have many thousands of miles on these tires and think they are great. If you want a good performing, quiet tire at a reasonable price then I recommend these. Most of the negative reviews are nonsensical and some complaining about delivery times which have nothing to do with the tire performance.

The tires themselves? How would I know? I just had them installed. I’ve had Solarus tires before and was very satisfied. Installation? Now, that’s a different animal. One of my pressure sensors was bent and the technician or Auto Manager wanted to blame it on a previous installation.

This was the first tire replacement on a new vehicle. It is now intermittently coming on since installation. But (and this is a big BUT), I believe it is from tire expansion during heat up on long trips, due to too much pressure in one of the tires.

I will verify this very shortly. The only other conclusion would be the damaged sensor. The fact Walmart is willing to change it if the sensor is, in fact, damaged, is the only reason for the 3 star rating.

Just put these on a week ago so not totally sure of everything yet. Drove them in snow, seem to hook up really good, but again they are brand new. Look awesome, seem to ride nicer than the bridgestone’s I had on the truck.

They are very slightly louder, but can hardly notice. I don’t mind. Will have to come back to this in like year and see how they wear if they are going to last a decent amount of miles.

Looked at this size and another close size tire for some time by a variety of manufacturers and vendors. This was by far the greatest price and free delivery. I had them in just a few days. The company has been around for many years.

The tires look fantastic and perform great. I’ve put around 8,000 miles on them so far. City and interstate.

Everyone at Priority Tire was great, but the FedEx shipping was horrible. FedEx said tires would arrive on a Thursday, but no delivery. Expected them on Friday, still nothing. On Saturday they finally arrived but they left a note that no one was home.

There were three people here. One person in the house, two people outside with music playing. Apparently fedex didn’t try too hard. Finally got the tires on Sunday. FEDEX BLOWS.

While 10 ply Tires were ordered I received standard load tires. Company said I ordered these because there are two tires with the same description one standard load one 10 ply. I was very careful to look at specification prior to ordering.

For all you out there: Take a screen shot of your order prior to submitting.

For a middle of the road line of tire this so far has worked well for me, but only had chance to drive in dry circumstances. So I will update you once we get rain or snow on the performance. Choose these tire for All season and all weather, the original tire I wanted was no longer available that I had used in the past, so my next best choice.

Great set of tires needed almost no extra weights to ballance. 2002 Chevrolet truck runs like new with new tires on it thank you Priority Tire for one of the best sets of tires I have had. I definately will buy from them again fast delivery.

Decided to try an MT tire for the non-winter period (six months, here, if you’re lucky) on a new vehicle (Colorado ZR2). I do a lot of resource/forestry road and ‘road’ driving which can mean anything between graded gravel road and apocalyptically muddy goat tracks.

Settled on the STT Pros as seeming likely to do the latter job reasonably well while being tolerable day-to-day and they have pretty much met that standard. Off-road (or, more properly, very bad road – actually leaving the road by much around here is usually unwise at best) performance is generally very good.

Compared to even aggressive AT tires they pack up with mud much less, bog down less, control much better and require less aggressive driving to get places, all of which translate to less road damage for the next person along.

Snow performance is unimpressive but that’s no great shock. On-road handling is fine and doesn’t really merit comment which is about as much as you could expect I suppose. Noise levels are interesting.

They are very, very, VERY loud between around 30 and 60km/h. Seriously like a beating drum and if I were doing much urban driving it’d be extremely annoying; fortunately my pavement driving is essentially all highway.

As speeds go up from there however the noise settles down very quickly and by 70 or so reduces to a low hum which is easily ignored. It’s not *quiet*, it’s always present and noticeable unless drowned out by radio or music, but that’s easily done and overall it’s much better than expected.

(note highways here are mostly chip-seal so fairly rough pavement – nice smooth asphalt is ironically much noisier) Fuel economy is “the same” as the OEM AT tires on the vehicle, which is to say that, given a small increase in diameter, it’s a few % worse.

All in all – do what they’re supposed to well.

I currently have 80,000 miles on these tires with 8/32nds left of tread on a ram 2500 diesel that see a lot of highway, gravel roads, off road, and trailers. I think a lot of the reason people are not getting good tread life is because of either suspension/alignment issues, not keeping them balanced (off-roading/gravel roads tend to knock my weights out) not keeping them rotated, correct tire pressures, or don’t have the correct load index for their vehicle.

Just because the truck or tire says run at 80psi doesn’t mean you should all of the time. If you aren’t pulling a trailer or have a lot of weight in the bed you should keep them lower pressures in the rear to where the tread rides evenly on the ground.

Even same for the front. Also just because the load range says E doesn’t mean it is the correct load index. For example the 305/70r18’s (35×12. 50r18) load range E tires have a load index of 126 or 3,750lbs where as the 35×12.

50r20 tires with a load range E have a load index of 121 or 3,195lbs. But cooper luckily offers a 35×12. 5r20 tire with a higher load range than that, it is just load range F. I had those prior to getting 18” wheels and put 20,000 miles of winter off roading on them with almost no wear.

If you are driving a diesel pickup you need to really look into the load index rating which is the first 3 numbers before the speed rating before purchasing and get as close to the factory rating of the factory tires as you can.

That is usually why a lot of guys with the bigger tires wear them out faster because they see “load range E” and think oh they are “10 ply tires, they are rated for my truck!” I will tell you, before I learned about that I would go through tires every 10-15,000 miles and spent a lot of money.

Hope this helps keep someone from making the same mistake I’ve done in the past, or helps someone figure out why they are burning through tires. Sorry for the long post, merry Christmas everyone!.

I won’t buy any other aggressive tire than the Cooper St Maxx. I’ve ran them on a dually 1 ton Dodge and averaged right at 20k miles a set when loaded 16k as a daily weight service truck. This truck was always aligned and rotated religiously.

My 1 ton Ford is sitting at 23k miles on this set and I’ll safely bet I have another 10k worth of tread wear. This truck I’ve not been the best at maintenance and it’s seen a few rotations go double the recommendation along with needing an alignment for too long.

These tires clean out well, wear like iron, and are quieter than any mud terrain I’ve ever ran. I’ve been happy with a few all terrain tires but with these tires I don’t have to be as quick to chain up when our heavy snow fall comes along.

I would highly recommend these tires to anyone on the fence. Hands down regardless of cost the only mud terrain I will own.

Tires came on 2020 GLE450, put 7,352 KM first year, changed them out for the winter, put them back on in April, rotated them in August after a further 4,000 Km due to a three week trip west. Put another 10,500 kms.

And when I removed them on November 12th found that the rear two tires were worn out, right rear the worst. Had MB do a 4 wheel alignment which was not outside of tolerance’s. Looking for new tires now!.
