I used to keep AT for on road and mild off road and MT for strictly off road use but with today's modern MT tires, I don't have to keep two different sets anymore. My Yokohama MT G003 handle predictably on road with minimal noise and balance requirements yet do brilliant off roads in mixed terrains and rocks.
I"m currently rocking Cooper Evolution MT's. They're awesome offroad, but they're pretty loud. I'm definitely switching to AT's next time. I love the look and the performance, but my car spends 95% of the time on streets or freeways. I also noticed last year in Big Bear that my MT's really don't handle ICE very well. Great in the dirt, but lacking in extreme winter conditions.
@@tommys2979 you know most truckers also care about the aggressive look but I fixed the issue now running all terrain in front and M/T at back, having a lovely even wear pattern now. What’s your set up??
Got two sets of tires for my Taco TRD 4X4, one original Goodyear tires OEM stock for normal everyday commute. Then a set of BFG KO2 for off road and winter use. With some practice its quick to change over tires.
This is the way to do it. I can't stand people buying off road tires and then complaining about road noise. It's like buying a sport bike, and then complaining that it goes fast. Or like dating a hot girl and then complaining that she gets a lot of attention from guys. Seriously, STFU. If you're doing light off-roading, you can do just fine with load E highway tires. Most of these poser pavement princesses have super aggressive tires, but then take their trucks to the car wash every week so it can sparkle in the sun like an emo vampire. Heaven forbid their truck have a little dirt on it. Use the tires for what they're meant for and stop bitching about road noise. If road noise bothers you, then pick up some rims from the junk yard and keep a set of off-road tires for when you go off-road ing, but run highways the rest of the time.
In Germany you can get renewed tyre, who are MT's and some of them looking like the tyres on the Toyota at 05:04 in your video. Yes all the original MT's like your presented, Yokohama Geolandar MT G03 have no 3peak-mountain symbol, the reason for that is their POR rating, which means as a Professional Off Road tyre these a special tyres, they don't have to be tested for snow rating.
👍👍👍👍 Not all All Terrains tire brands have a milage warranty, this time I'm going with Toyo A/T3 LT 50,000. I live in the San Bernardino Mountains and sometimes my son and I take an off road home for fun. My Toyo MT worked great on trails for two years and not so good on icy roads, so think about this, some times the trail is icy. On mountain asphalt roads I always drive slower with MT'S and in snowy icy condition I might have to put it in four wheel on some icy road inclines. But I never had to put my chains on, now that would be like admitting defeat or a deal breaker for that tire. I ran BF All Terrains for years and they worked fine (2500hd), my son really likes the Toyo A/T3 (Toyota OfRd) and that's why I'm putting them on my truck now.
I have heard great things of Toyo and would love to try them except for the price haha. Also I think i will try falken wildpeak at3w ones my set of ko2 wear out.

@@richardpowell1389 worst tires ive ever run. I’ve lost grip in rain all the time and wouldn’t even let my wife drive my truck when it was raining. I have them a few tries too.

Then I gave them another try with the e load rating and although they lasted longer, they still were the worst in any rain/snow that I’ve ever had.
The geolandar MT are Quiet af don’t what you’re talking about and I feel zero vibration and I have some on my 2021 Trail Boss. Tires have been putting in work better than BF and the Goodyear AT tires. Prices are always gonna go up, if y’all don’t wonna pay almost $1500-2000 bands for some good AT or MT tires than just avoid an Off Road vehicle and buy a Honda 👍🏽👍🏽 off road vehicles are definitely not for the broke or penny pinching type of ppl
I like M/T’s for on/off road. And my M/T’s are good on road as well and quiet. And my MPG is still good. Not a big difference. But deff depends on how big the tires are. And tread.
Which tires would be the best for my 4runner 2021??? I will do 80 % highway maybe 20% off-road. I don't want to be stock in mud...need good traction if necessary Thank you
Be careful with your Geolandar MT, when there tyre age is 4 years, because on light cars, like the Suzuki Jimny, with an age of 4 years the MT's are hard and start faster to slide on wet streets, even with electronic safetysystems like EPS .
Yeah it's a good tire but understand deep siping does have negative effect sometimes. I'm on my 3rd set of goo3 so obviously like them but here in the Rockies they chip and lugs break off usually where the siping is. Deep siping on a mt has pros and cons.
5:15 he said that people are wrong that mud tires are louder than all terrains but then goes on to say he thinks his mud tires are louder than all terrain that doesn’t make sense make your mind up on which is louder
He said other people told him there going to be “slightly louder” where-as in his experience they were MUCH louder. He’s not disagreeing that they’re louder instead he objects HOW loud
If you don't need mudd terrain tires then don't purchase them as they're nothing but vibration and steering component disasters. I also find putting LT tires on half ton trucks are nothing but problematic. They are exceptions, but for my experience any type of LT tires on half ton trucks causes steering component failures due to excessive weight and vibrations.
all good points. I have never had any problem with ko2 LT tires on my tundra and I have a relatively sizable one. As far as mud terrain, it’s something you have to experience yourself to know if they are what you need because others opinion are all mostly subjective.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs ftw. I have a Jeep and I go off road alot. The Duratracs are amazing in mud and snow.
thats good to know. However, I have two friends that have had them punctured on the trails. Just saying.
I had sidewall puncture with mine as well.
Wrangler tires sidewalls suck on them most of them have heard from several people
Great episode! Very clear and objective

But what if your 10% of driving offroad is completely in mud because you dont have road to your home? You should use MT tires :(

Mud tires any good for winter snow seasons?
winter yes. Snow/ice mix not ideal. Deep snow yes.
When you switched to the geolander mud terrain did you have any rubbing issues with the setup you have (Bilstein 6112 5160 and 17" icon rebounds)
Not at all
