Great info. and I agree with you on many of the topics you shared. I also agree on the higher costs of the Toyo prices. They are definitely not the cheapest out there but they do a great job as an all around tire that hits many targets. As for the Falken, they were my #1 pic after testing 7 sets of competitors at the test track doing back to back OEM style evaluations. I found an issue with a running compound production change and my #1 went to number # 7. I have heard however, that Falken has since "fixed" the tire so maybe they are much better. Haven't confirmed that test. Anyway, glad you liked the Toyo and I am also a fan of the Toyo RT Trail. This tire is very well matched and linear, with great off-road characteristics.
Good video Brother. Good to see supervisor truck doing good for you. How are the tires doing on the wife’s 4Runner and how are the 550’s tires doing? My go to and favorite tire is the Nitto Terra. The Terra’s have done good in all conditions that I have in Tennessee.
Dude I couldn’t agree more I have had the best luck with my xlt tires . And shit I bought them at 42,000 miles and now I have 132,565 miles on my tires . And I’ can’t get away from them . That’s why I’m here bc the dealership wears but the Toyo but damn man I just love the coopers . Now I got free tire rotations bc I bought them from the dealership. But they have been the best set of tires ever . Would you switch ?to the Toyo at3
Hey workplaytv a nother great video on your channel u definitely my favorite TH-camr keep making awesome videos i brought a dodge ram Just like your but black u are awesome TH-camr
Thanks Ty... running Falken AT3Ws, in 295 / 18s on my 2017 F350 CC LB 4WD daily driver. Had Nitto's G2 TG in 285, but since they do not have those available in that size, i bumped to the 295 and updated to Vision 18" wheels. In last 4 months, quiet and smoother ride, running at 58 F / 48 R psi levels. Falken AT3W likely the tire of choice in out years, Toyo a bit $$$. Have a great weekend.
Good review Tyson. Any of the larger trucks (3/4 1 ton) tend to wear out tires quicker than light duty trucks, but to me knowing they are good in mud and rain means more than a few extra miles in wear.
Thanks Ty.... i just put these Toyos on my 2021 Ram 3500 Mega Cab. So far they are very quiet for tread they have on the tire and the handling had been very solid. I live in Wyoming so winter is upon us. We will see how they do in the snow, wind, and ice soon enough. Thanks for the video and review.
I was currently running this these on my Mitsubishi RVR (225/55/R18) this summer until I just switched to my winters (Living in NB Canada so winter tires are a must IMO). They are a little louder over my winters (stud less Toyo G3 ICE same size), slightly quieter but it doesn't bother me because the Open Country tires feel so planted and firm. I drive fast around corners and in general and the Open Country's have just felt great to me. Mind you I was driving the RVR on the stock Nexen tires (gross I know, but I bought it with those on it at 33K km on the car) beforehand. But since this is on a compact SUV / crossover, I'm likely on the out side of the norm running these tires lol
In my research in Alberta Toyo AT2 and AT 3 are considerably cheaper than the Falken brands(approx $500.00 a set). I have had AT 2 and AT 3's on my F350's . Awesome tires.
Here’s the thing……I know we both want the same thing from a tire, that is the best grip, best durability and best load rating for a one ton diesel SRW pickup that’s towing up to 20k regularly. Personally I don’t mess with AT tires anymore because they pack up and become slicks in anything softer than dry grass, I won’t run anything but MT’s anymore. After that I look for a 4080lb per tire load rating, 10 or 12ply and a tread that can be aggressive enough to deal with mud and yet be as quiet as possible on the highway. Today there are more choices that fit that criteria than we used to have. Right now I’m running Yokohama Geolandar X-AT on my 3500 duramax in a 285/75r18 and they are excellent but still more hybrid than actual mud terrain so they suffer in anything soft. So I’m taking them off and selling them to a buddy so I can try the Maxxis RAZR MT next, same size. If you run these trucks like we do, you pretty much have to be a “tire enthusiast”. It’s just too damn important not to, that means keeping up with the industry and what manufacturers are doing to keep raising the bar. ✌🏼
Thanks for the insight, I am looking at another set of tires for my 2500. I've had some toyo MTs for the last 2 years, and they've gone to complete shit with only 20k miles. I'm looking at a set of these next. However, with only 30k miles estimated it's not worth it for 400 usd a tire.
100% agree!!! Had the Toyos last time, good tire overall, but the Falkens are better im my books, but a bit louder on the road. The big issue of the Toyo is in very cold climates, the turn into hockey pucks, and are extremely difficult to drive on/ in snow if it's too cold. The Falkens seem to be better in this discipline. Also, a good friend of mine does towning for a living, he swears on Canadian Tire Cooper Tires LTX or something, he gets around 100k per set on a Chev 2500, but not sure how they perform in general.
@Icutmetal it was on AT3's...if that's improved, it's hard to imagine how bad the AT2's must have been... Again, just in very cold temperatures, but we have those conditions over several months in our area. Also, even my wife noticed a big difference after switching to the Falkens, she likes them way better, especially on gravel and snow.
sounds like i'll still stick with your falken recommendation. i'm having a hard time not going back to duratrac but they are a loud tire new, and worse when wore.,.. but still one of my favorite.
I run the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and like them for their look, traction, and quietness on the highway. But they aren't a very high mileage tire. Nitto has a new tire out now called the Recon Grappler which is supposed to be a great work truck tire plus high mileage features. may try these next set. What tire pressures do you run at? I use 60 front and 65 rear empty and 80 rear when towing heavy.
Any update on snow performance? Wanted a set of falken At4w but they are PRICEY 650/TIRE! Shop offered these for $100 less per tire. I had Toyo at2s a few sets back and wasn't in love with the wet and snow. performance.
don't know if I'd call that kind of mileage any good out of a set of tires. Ive got 80k on my nitto ridge grapplers and they'll take me through the winter for sure (probably another 30k). they're on my 22 sierra 2500 oilfield rig. truck sits at about 9-9500lbs loaded with fuel and tools
The AT2 Toyos I wasn't impressed with had them on a heavy 08 F350 srw 4x4 gas pot. They were scary in the snow. My go to tire is Nitto EXO Grappler noisy yes had good luck with them. My boss put Sumitomo Encounter ATs on the 07 GMC 3500HD srw duramax. They are a "cheaper" AT tire. They are a plain looking tire no real curb appeal. The truck pulls a 16 foot 14,000lb trailer that we move the Cat 303.5s on. The tires are wearing quite well I'm really surprised. The dirty max is tuned it can roast the tires pulling the loaded trailer on the hills around here. Some hills gotta put the truck in 4 hi. Tires have become quite expensive many brands especially Nitto seem to be unavailable. If I need tires again I would go with Toyo C/T or M-55
Don't forget to factor in the fact that Dodges really fly. So at any given time unless they are parked they're not putting the full weight of the vehicle on the ground. That might account for the fact that you're getting good wear out of the tires. 😏😉
Nothing , literally no tires were better than the Toyo at II extremes , hands down best life , noise , grip . Snow and ice. Peace and love from northern ALBERTA , the land of milk and honey, guns and money
I think the Falken Wildpeak AT3w (or the newer AT4w) are the best AT tires in the world (durability, tread wear, wet, snow, off-road capability , noise, highway comfort, etc…) and they cost less than Toyos. I have Toyos on my Titan and Falkens on my Bronco and have driven both in every condition imaginable over the past 2 year!
I just got my set. Definitely a nice tire, but way overpriced for what they are. I won’t buy another set in the future just from seeing what my money bought. I haven’t even mounted them yet… I wanted an aggressive a/t, but not something that would howl. Like a Mickey Thompson Baja Boss a/t. Those look pretty knobby. Too aggressive. Which is why I bought these due to the tread staggering and center tread design.
Love these kind of videos back on the channel! Just bought a set of these for my truck
Your review was honest, simple and very helpful. The falken and Toyo are same price where I am here in Australia. Thanks mate.
Toyo's and Falken's have been my favorite tires for my F350s. Quiet, great grip, last a long time.
you find either one wore better?
so im choosing between falken wild peak at 3 and toyo open country 3. which would you think would be the best?
@@dalton6786 falken if snow and slush is important
I'm on my second set of Falken AT3's, on my 3500, last set I got about 80,000 kms with regular rotation.
discontinued now. u cant find them
@@schlomoshekelstein908tire rack has them still highly discounted since the at4 is out. I’ve shopped with them many times, great company

Hey Bud,
Yes, I like those reviews on the tires and trucks.
Of course your property is nice work.

My go to and favorite tire is the Nitto Terra. The Terra’s have done good in all conditions that I have in Tennessee.
You should try the Cooper AT3 XLT, have had 3 sets of those, great in rain/snow, decent in mud, quiet on road, cheaper on wallet.
Always great reviews bud. I was gonna ask the same question, have set on my work truck, you should review them.

@rightyouareken7587 So far they've been solid. Very solid is the wet and snowy conditions. I only have about 5k miles on them to date. No complaints
@@DavidBrown-jt7yi very cool. I just ordered them today. And will be ready to install Monday. 295/75/16 for my 80 series cruiser.
Try the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT, it’s the top tire used up on in Northern Alaska on pickup trucks that guys use for work up there!!

Are you referring to the AT3 or AT2? I saw that was a common complaint with the AT2's but reviews seem to suggest that the AT3's are much improved.
@Icutmetal it was on AT3's...if that's improved, it's hard to imagine how bad the AT2's must have been...

@@galaxyphone7784 Good to know. I am on Destination XT’s right now and they’ve really impressed me so far.
@Icutmetal had the regular Cooper's discoverer at3 4s, think it's a non heavy duty version of the ltx, didn't like them. Like the Falkens way better.

They did pretty good. Not as good as the Falkens
What is your final verdict on the Firestone Destination X/T? Worth it? Thanks for your reviews!
Yup
The Toyo tires look really nice. What happened to the GMC gasser?
Sold

Whats your number 1? At3s? Have you tried ridge grapplers
Fallken Wildpeaks
What pressure do you run on them ?

Do you like these more then the at2 extremes?
Same really
Appreciate the response. So torn between the two haha. Which did you find looked better between the two?
Seems you have to many trucks, why not sell the ram 3500 srw and just daily the f350?
