@@CampusautoCo Hi! you're stating in your video that the Toyo Open Country MT looks different on each side, and it would have different profiles so the owner can choose which look to prefer and pick one. but does the tyre really have different side profiles? it doesn't look like in your video and I can't find anything about it on the official toyo homepage either referring to @11:25
asptrooper: I totally agree, Just got my first awesome 4x4 and needed a little understanding of what to look for in a tire. I'd rather be educated and not go in blind getting 'holed in the sidewall'...
"these are my favorite tire for the guy that wants to looks like he off roads but doesnt" hahaha love it! great video. still cant decide between km3 and grabber x3. but lots more information
i have a set of at3 falkens. my prior tire experience is all i have. 5 sets of 5 BFG all terrains. my best tire ever. also ran 5 firestone mud down to nubs. both are outstanding tires. now to rate the Falken....low price but a top quality tire. great in snow on my Cherokee. and 33 in tires for 150 each delivered from amazon. try and beat that price on any of these tires. it is a price for 33's at a 31 in price. and for tire ratings....anyone purporting to rate them, needs to run each for 50K miles and then report back. otherwise is hot air, and all you can do is rate paper specs and price.i have stated my first hand experience on 3 brands of tires. paid for by me, and ran fully to wear out by me.
Those Firestone MT are growing on me. Just wish the side wall looked a little bit more aggressive..But tread design looks awesome! Also the General MT looks cool also! I had the KM2 before and i got way over 30k miles on them and probably could of went 50k miles out of them. However i feel like to many people have the KM3. I want something different no one really has.
I have KM3’s and don’t have a bad thing to say about them, great on wet muddy rocks and on the beach, quiet on the road and still plenty of grip in the rain, I’ve done 20 000km on them and they still are holding up fine
@@pedroelizarraraz3145- they are relatively quiet for mudders I’m closing in on 50k miles on mine and they are getting lauder but still have great tread left I’ve rotated them regularly but have pushed them hard on and off road
Falken has the thickest sidewall so you can run them at a lower psi and won’t cut them. They’re especially good here in Hawaii where we drive through very sharp lava fields.
I ran the Red Clay Rally last year on Falken Wildpeaks AT3s. Guess who didn't get stuck on the same trail as my teammates?? This guy. Guess who did? A 4Runnner with Coopers STTs and BFG KMs. Just saying!!!!! I drive a slightly built Second Gen Tacoma. I'm sticking with the Falkens. But good review!! Even though you hated on my Falkens!!! lol

Gsfbffx Pdhhdf first learn how to spell 😂 second trucks off road great when set up right sxs’s break easier and need modifying to run the stuff a good truck could run
I wish I could like this review more than once, great job at explaining the technical features also great job on your verbal articulation of the tires. I was able to watch this in normal speed and enjoy it.
Surprised that Yokohama Geolandar M/T wasn’t in the bunch. A highly rated tire that’s similarly priced to the Firestone M/T. Enjoyed the comparison on all these higher end tires. Would like to see a comparison on the budget friendly M/T tires.
Naw, the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W All Terrain is the better of these tires with the Nitto coming up a close second. The Falken all terrain can do it all, and though dry pavement is not its best, it still does it well. And for an off road/mud terrain it is simply superb and without question my tire of choice. Falken is a premiere tire manufacturer people are only now getting to know and like. That Nitto is likewise an up and coming brand with quite the following of its own. Either tire would be a great choice.
The only 2 tires I would consider out of that list is the Toyo and Trail Graps and those are at the bottom of mine. My top 2 that I have used and seen perform are the Cooper Discover STT Pro and the GoodYear MT/R Kevlar. Im currently running the GoodYear in a 38x14.5/r17. Other top contenders on my list also include the Maxxis Razr M/T and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss for radial/bias ply tires. This is coming from east coast wheeling which involves a lot of mud and slick, wet rock that is often covered in moss, leaves, and more mud.
What about gas mileage??? Changing from street tires to off road mud tires will down the mileage count.. Also Road NOISE??? Im sure the "BIG TREAD" Tires are going to Howl like a bat outta hell...
Jesse Name I have had Cooper Discoverer STT in the past they lasted around 40k were great in snow. Better than Cooper AT/3. They have a slight hum, nothing annoying. They clean out well.
I have a set of 37” stt on my truck.. I have beat the crap out of these things and it’s been a road warrior as well.. have had zero issues and tread life is amazing. I love them!
Good review based on everyday observations, I does not matter where tyres are made so half the comments are stupid, Your basic facts are more than enough to point people in the right direction So well Done there, I started fitting Tyres 40 years ago and the basics are still the same even if the technology has advanced, WTG Good Job.
I love swampers. Bias are better than the radials but don't last as long. I ran a couple sets. They are awesome! I grew up on a small dairy farm in the central valley of California and now have my own small cattle ranch. Swampers really helped in towing trailers through clay mud and feeding cattle in the pasture during the winter. NOTHING has come close to a comparison. But now I have to travel too much on the road to justify swampers.
I bought the general grabber x3 after watching a bunch of videos and I have to say I love them. 33 12.50 on my jku 3 in lift. Great life so far after 15k miles still tons of tread life left. Get around everywhere I go as well. Great traction in snow mud and rocks.
Funny I replaced my bfg's with Falkens on my superduty and they perform much better. For a heavy truck tire they carry a load much better and still works awesome while driving down the beach or over rocks. The bfg's didn't did well when I had a good load in my truck ad the sidewalls tend to be soft under a heavy load. Example, when I am hauling two yards of crushed granite, the Falkens feel secure and my bfg's never did.
Firestone Destination MT2 work good everywhere, hold balance, wear evenly. I have close to 60k on a set right now on a 2500HD and they aren't done. 295/70-17 Edit: Same vehicle, same driving condition, same size, my Toyo Open Country MT only made it 40k and were no better than the Firestone anywhere.
@@fxdwings I only tow about 7k or 8k lbs with it, but great. Snow fantastic. Only air them up to 80psi in the rear when hauling or towing heavy or they will get squirmy unloaded at such high pressure. I usually only run 50 psi in the rear when unloaded.
Trail grapplers do great off-road! I have ran the toyo mt, nitto trail grappler, km2, and the grabber. So far the trail grappler has done me best off-road and mileage wise. I have the Toyos on now so we will see how long they will last, but I’d never doubt the trail grapplers man they are great tires !
Thermal AE maybe try Buckshot II’s mine have done me extremely well in all types of terrain mud, snow, rain, and even asphalt, I get almost 2 years out of them running between 20-30k miles a year
@@CampusautoCo ive been running them for about a year now super quiet amd really good for mud. My truck is heavy as hell but just crawls through with no problem.
So stick w the TGs or do you like the toyos? My last nittos got me 25k miles :( on my 2500 cummins. I was looking at the KM3s, but they are almost 1/8' less tread and 4.9 lbs lighter than TGs, and mk2 seem like a better tread pattern w bigger lugs. maybe the km3's closer lugs are more quieter and wear less like a AT so they are pushing that spacing boundary
I live in San Diego. 98% city/ freeway. No snow,but it does really rain at times.. just put on a set of Kragen HT51 on my 2017 TRD sport Tacoma!!..first set off rubber in 30 years that weren't Michelin..last set from Costco was crap!!..your thoughts..thanks
This guy clearly does not know tires. Doesn’t even know the correct name of a tire he’s reviewing right under his nose nor does he realize 2 of those tires are made in the same facility and are almost precisely the same quality. Then again, he is running a shop in Virginia. Bless his heart.
The best mud tires would have tread blocks a full inch deep or more. Kinda like some russian tires I've seen. If you look at the tread on aggressive heavy truck tires it's much deeper than these. I know they run higher psi and probably have a harder rubber compound because of the higher ground psi, but they could easily make a mud tire last 80k if they put more rubber on it.
I got a 1978 f150 4x4 400 4 speed that’s gonna be my hunting truck/winter beater I wanna put generals on it, my boss says I should get kendas, in a 31x10.50r15
Idk why their hot as popular as other tires. They won the mud tire test in a magazine. Not that it means much but they out did super swampers. The use the Chevron pattern military used for years. Best tire I've ever bought. From km2s stt pros ect. And guess what they quit making em. I need one tire a 32x11.50r15 bc I cut one 4wheeling my fault and cant find one
Didn't get 12000 km's out of my KM3 on a Ford Ranger. Either not balanced right by the dealer or just not durable. Only about 4000 km's of that is off road on Dirt and sand and very little mud. The knobs have worn very unevenly and they now make a horrendous noise
I've got 33X12.50r15 X3's on my lifted Jeep XJ. Best tires I've ever owned and I beat them with everything from mud to rocks to snow. Nothing slows them down
If you don't mind me asking..Are this tires noisy? Got a 79 CJ7 am about to get done with after frame off rebuild and I am going to be needing some nice looking tires. Im not planning on going off roading with it for a few reasons but I do like the look of the aggressive tires. Thanks.
The nitto tire you have there looks like the Trail and not the terra. Agreed that the Terra is crap. Did you guys have a look at the MAXXIS RAZR? Thankful you left out the Cooper lineup as they are all crap in my book. I tried a couple and they are horrific white knuckle ride on wet pavement.
I've run Dick Cepek tires on my Jeep since 2009 & they have been great! I've never gotten stuck with them & they have eaten 2 nails (goes in a ways, bends over, & wears down to the tread, with no leaking).
For a budget mud tire Kenda klever mt works very well on my 3500 and my cherokees nope not quiet but they last fairly well, in snow an mud they dig real well I run the cherokees during the winter weather then switch to highway tread set of tires for summer running I did this with a set if bf goodrich mud terrains they lasted for 6 years till I left them on to get back into the woods when I worked with a log trucking outfit in Georgia my 3500 doesn't get used every day low mileage truck but I do use it to do winter chores so traction is needed
@@CampusautoCo And also, you got the side walls wrong. The "aggressive side" has the centre lugs "peaked", or "v" shaped if you like for better side grip in ruts... the other side has them flat.
Bfg km3 are by far the best tires I have used for offroading. Theyre pretty good on road as well, very quiet for a mud. Downside is that they are not cheap.
Awesome review! If you need new content, I’d think a Jeep wrangler specific tire comparison would be a hit. Like aggressive ATs vs MTs. Here in Colorado, the Duratrac is big due to its snow capability, but I’m iffy on going that route. I film trail guides with a mostly stock JK and I want a Rock Terrain with great snow/mud clearing capability lol
Old school tires. Do they make them in a radial tire? Definitely don't see any of them out here in AZ. But, then again we don't have mud - just rocks and cacti. Need those thick side walls here. BFG's are what I run on my 4runner.
I was thinkin the same. I woukdnt even run this shit off rd where i live. I run 37x13.50x18 nitto mudgrapplers for street on my bronco. 18x39.5x15 boggers for trail use.
Ernie Desjardins yeah, I run bias ply swampers, and everyone that runs the same trails I do runs bias as well. Radial sidewalls just won't make it through a hard trail very often. Intercom still has a following for the extreme guys
I did buy a pair though, as the tires i had became discontinued. They've been good. These went on a jeep, so the wear might not be as noticeable, being fairly light.
Why do you not put Cooper tires in your videos or Mickey Thompson tires in your videos y’all may not carry but when testing those tires should be included
The first set of MTs I have are the Master Craft MTX. Going on 5 years with over 45k miles and I still have tread left. Going for 35's next. Thank you for your educated opinion on these tires. I have been looking at Mickey Thompson MT's, Maxis MT's, and the Grapplers (your favorite ones.)
I had those tires on my ram 2500 and I got 35k out of them and still had probably 5k left when I got rid of them. I wish they came in a load range E tire in 35" though.
Those aren't mud terrains, those are boggers. A mud terrain tire is what you see in the vid, something that is great in light mud and most terrain but also solid on road. Mud terrains are for a daily that also goes off road not a dedicated trail rig.
I have a 2002 F350 XLT with LT 295/75 R16 the max is 80 psi but can you recommend pressure on both front and back..right now im at 70 front 75 back...cant seem to find anyone with knowledge to this??
This guy doesn't even know that the Nitto MT's were the top podium finisher for King of the Hammers. Yea, they definitely only for people who wants the look and never go off roading.
Which tire will be quieter on the road. I have KM3 drove 20000 km on them. they are becoming noisier by the time and the tread pattern in the middle of the tires is not even after putting some miles on them.
Planning on those firestone mt2 for my next set. Right now I'm on nitro trail grapplers like the ones in the video, and when they were new until about 1/2 tread they were awesome in the mud and anything else I put them through. Fairly stable for towing too but I'm hoping the firestones will be better. Only complaint about the nittos is that they are bad about holding on to pieces of gravel
Tried Hankook Dynapro M/T, Toyo Open Country A/T, soon Toyo Open Country M/T (waiting to mount them) we'll see how they hold up. Have friends that are running the new Falken Wildpeak A/T, Nitto Trail Grappler, Nitto Ridge Grappler, General Grabber A/T along with all the other chinese "m/t" the local small tire shops are selling. Wish I had the time to do a review on all these tires, keep up the good content!
My buddy have the same size tires. I have X3s and he has KM3s. We both have around 25k miles on them and we both use the same tire pressure (33psi). His KM3s are already at the wear line and my X3s have worn about 6 millimeters
Just bought a set of X3s So far, I’m very satisfied. They’ve taken me through mudbogs I’ve had to be pulled out of with Hancook Dynapro AT/M Unfair comparison? Maybe. It is MT vs AT And I’m not knocking Hancook. They wore like iron & for the most part, not a bad tire. Just don’t go too far off-road with them
@@cengo91 Yes, I use KM3 for 3 seasons and KO2 for deep ice season here (better traction on roads). The KM3 are definitely the way to go for dirt, rock, mud and snow. Huge difference in traction and control. Little louder on the road but not nearly as bad as regular mud tires. I am pleased with my upgrade. Already using them for 2 years.

Not bad....
But would’ve really liked to have seen the Buckshot mudder compared
Here is BFG K02 vs KM3: th-cam.com/video/fy37W6HbWdo/w-d-xo.html
The only 2 tires I would consider out of that list is the Toyo and Trail Graps and those are at the bottom of mine. My top 2 that I have used and seen perform are the Cooper Discover STT Pro and the GoodYear MT/R Kevlar. Im currently running the GoodYear in a 38x14.5/r17. Other top contenders on my list also include the Maxxis Razr M/T and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss for radial/bias ply tires. This is coming from east coast wheeling which involves a lot of mud and slick, wet rock that is often covered in moss, leaves, and more mud.
I like the MT/R.
What about gas mileage??? Changing from street tires to off road mud tires will down the mileage count.. Also Road NOISE??? Im sure the "BIG TREAD" Tires are going to Howl like a bat outta hell...
Yes, yes, and yes.
Wouldn't that be Firestone Destination M/T 2??
Yes
Excellent video. I’m trying to figure out what tires to put on my JK and now you just made it harder for me 🤣
No Cooper Discover STTs?
No, I have not sold any of those tires yet.

I have had Cooper Discoverer STT in the past they lasted around 40k were great in snow. Better than Cooper AT/3. They have a slight hum, nothing annoying. They clean out well.
Yeah that's right. I run Cooper s.s.t.
I have a set of 37” stt on my truck.. I have beat the crap out of these things and it’s been a road warrior as well.. have had zero issues and tread life is amazing. I love them!
Cooper STT Pro series
great review by a real person with real perspective...I hate these damn AI crap thats taking over everything
Good review based on everyday observations, I does not matter where tyres are made so half the comments are stupid, Your basic facts are more than enough to point people in the right direction So well Done there, I started fitting Tyres 40 years ago and the basics are still the same even if the technology has advanced, WTG Good Job.
These aint mudtires.... superswamper makes mud tires these are all terrians lol.
I haven't see an set of superswampers on a truck in years.
Totally agree interco for the win I run the m16 on my tundra
They're great for offroad only. Those massive lugs get chewed up quick on the highway and man are they loud. But yes, definately kickass in the mud
Mickey baja claws on my f150 35s that is also a mud tire. Dont go in mud with these tires suggested. Youd prolly get stuck!
I love swampers. Bias are better than the radials but don't last as long. I ran a couple sets. They are awesome! I grew up on a small dairy farm in the central valley of California and now have my own small cattle ranch. Swampers really helped in towing trailers through clay mud and feeding cattle in the pasture during the winter. NOTHING has come close to a comparison. But now I have to travel too much on the road to justify swampers.
Goodyear wrangler mt r Kevlar rules. Greatness.
Yes
Reminds me of my toddler.. " and this is my favorite cause this , and this is my favorite cause this, and this is my favorite cause this " 😂
Correct. They keep it simple!
I bought the general grabber x3 after watching a bunch of videos and I have to say I love them. 33 12.50 on my jku 3 in lift. Great life so far after 15k miles still tons of tread life left. Get around everywhere I go as well. Great traction in snow mud and rocks.
Awesome!
Agree on the falkens, Two broken belts in two different sets and nearly impossible to balance.
Thanks for the feedback!
Absolutely junk, I bought them not knowing any better, cheap garbage tires.
Spent the money on Toyo M/Ts, money well spent.
Of these tires, which ones usually balance with the least weight and have little to no steering wheel shake?
Funny I replaced my bfg's with Falkens on my superduty and they perform much better. For a heavy truck tire they carry a load much better and still works awesome while driving down the beach or over rocks. The bfg's didn't did well when I had a good load in my truck ad the sidewalls tend to be soft under a heavy load. Example, when I am hauling two yards of crushed granite, the Falkens feel secure and my bfg's never did.
Awesome. Thank you for your feedback.
Lmao! Perfectly done I agree with you, I’m getting some grabber X3’s thanks for keeping it real bud.
Thanks!
Consider tread depth and actual height measurements in the next videos.
Ok
Firestone Destination MT2 work good everywhere, hold balance, wear evenly. I have close to 60k on a set right now on a 2500HD and they aren't done. 295/70-17
Edit: Same vehicle, same driving condition, same size, my Toyo Open Country MT only made it 40k and were no better than the Firestone anywhere.
That's incredible. I've heard nothing but good things about the destination mt2. How does it do towing and in the snow?
@@fxdwings I only tow about 7k or 8k lbs with it, but great. Snow fantastic. Only air them up to 80psi in the rear when hauling or towing heavy or they will get squirmy unloaded at such high pressure. I usually only run 50 psi in the rear when unloaded.
@@scootypuffjr. thanks. Appreciate the input. I'm between these and mitchelin defenders ltx
Trail grapplers do great off-road! I have ran the toyo mt, nitto trail grappler, km2, and the grabber. So far the trail grappler has done me best off-road and mileage wise. I have the Toyos on now so we will see how long they will last, but I’d never doubt the trail grapplers man they are great tires !
I would be interested to find out about how those Toyo's do.
Thermal AE maybe try Buckshot II’s mine have done me extremely well in all types of terrain mud, snow, rain, and even asphalt, I get almost 2 years out of them running between 20-30k miles a year
Campus Automotive Inc I’ll let you know! I have them mounted on a silverado. It’s on my channel! Got about 10k miles on them so far.
@@CampusautoCo ive been running them for about a year now super quiet amd really good for mud. My truck is heavy as hell but just crawls through with no problem.
So stick w the TGs or do you like the toyos? My last nittos got me 25k miles :( on my 2500 cummins. I was looking at the KM3s, but they are almost 1/8' less tread and 4.9 lbs lighter than TGs, and mk2 seem like a better tread pattern w bigger lugs. maybe the km3's closer lugs are more quieter and wear less like a AT so they are pushing that spacing boundary
I live in San Diego. 98% city/ freeway. No snow,but it does really rain at times.. just put on a set of Kragen HT51 on my 2017 TRD sport Tacoma!!..first set off rubber in 30 years that weren't Michelin..last set from Costco was crap!!..your thoughts..thanks
Let me know how they do in the real world. I am sure they will probably be fine.
Nitto tires are great if you want to look cool but be functionally useless.
Lol
This guy clearly does not know tires. Doesn’t even know the correct name of a tire he’s reviewing right under his nose nor does he realize 2 of those tires are made in the same facility and are almost precisely the same quality. Then again, he is running a shop in Virginia. Bless his heart.
Lol. I thought Bless you heart was only for Georgia boys. Or Florida Georgia Line boys.
The best mud tires would have tread blocks a full inch deep or more. Kinda like some russian tires I've seen. If you look at the tread on aggressive heavy truck tires it's much deeper than these. I know they run higher psi and probably have a harder rubber compound because of the higher ground psi, but they could easily make a mud tire last 80k if they put more rubber on it.
True
I got a 1978 f150 4x4 400 4 speed that’s gonna be my hunting truck/winter beater I wanna put generals on it, my boss says I should get kendas, in a 31x10.50r15
Put the Kendas on it unless you want a USA built tire.
"This is my favorite tire.....This is not my favorite tire" lol
Yeah, sorry about that.
Ya Falken
Idk why their hot as popular as other tires. They won the mud tire test in a magazine. Not that it means much but they out did super swampers. The use the Chevron pattern military used for years. Best tire I've ever bought. From km2s stt pros ect. And guess what they quit making em. I need one tire a 32x11.50r15 bc I cut one 4wheeling my fault and cant find one
I think there is a MT2 now.
Super Swamper's are the only great mud tire, all these will fill up with one revolution and look like a slick.
Old school mud tire!
@@CampusautoCo Yep, and they work too !!
Didn't get 12000 km's out of my KM3 on a Ford Ranger. Either not balanced right by the dealer or just not durable. Only about 4000 km's of that is off road on Dirt and sand and very little mud. The knobs have worn very unevenly and they now make a horrendous noise
Man I hate to hear that.
I've got 33X12.50r15 X3's on my lifted Jeep XJ. Best tires I've ever owned and I beat them with everything from mud to rocks to snow. Nothing slows them down
If you don't mind me asking..Are this tires noisy?
Got a 79 CJ7 am about to get done with after frame off rebuild and I am going to be needing some nice looking tires.
Im not planning on going off roading with it for a few reasons but I do like the look of the aggressive tires. Thanks.
@@MrElPoderozo1 The Grabber X3 is very quiet compared to most mud terrain tires. They will wear on the highway amazingly well. You can't go wrong!
@@PirateJeep Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.👍🏽🇺🇸
Wait brother. What about the Cooper S/T MAXX M/T tires? I drive on lava rock, lava dust and granite dust during deer season or going fishing?
I think Cooper is going to discontinue that tire soon.
Cooper STT Pros for the win
The nitto tire you have there looks like the Trail and not the terra. Agreed that the Terra is crap. Did you guys have a look at the MAXXIS RAZR? Thankful you left out the Cooper lineup as they are all crap in my book. I tried a couple and they are horrific white knuckle ride on wet pavement.
You are correct about the Trail Grappler. One of my guys just bought a new set of Maxxis RAZR and he loves them.
I've run Dick Cepek tires on my Jeep since 2009 & they have been great! I've never gotten stuck with them & they have eaten 2 nails (goes in a ways, bends over, & wears down to the tread, with no leaking).
For a budget mud tire Kenda klever mt works very well on my 3500 and my cherokees nope not quiet but they last fairly well, in snow an mud they dig real well I run the cherokees during the winter weather then switch to highway tread set of tires for summer running I did this with a set if bf goodrich mud terrains they lasted for 6 years till I left them on to get back into the woods when I worked with a log trucking outfit in Georgia my 3500 doesn't get used every day low mileage truck but I do use it to do winter chores so traction is needed
You aren't the only person that have mentioned those Kenda Tires. I'm glad they are working our for you.
Those were Trail Grapplers my Friend!
Yes sir, you are right. I'm sorry about that.
@@CampusautoCo And also, you got the side walls wrong. The "aggressive side" has the centre lugs "peaked", or "v" shaped if you like for better side grip in ruts... the other side has them flat.
yup they are.. !!!
What about for a Chevy Silverado 2020. For sand & mud. It only has a leveling kit.
Go for the BF Goodrich KM3
Bfg km3 are by far the best tires I have used for offroading. Theyre pretty good on road as well, very quiet for a mud.
Downside is that they are not cheap.
Very True!
How about the noise on the city are they loud
Awesome review! If you need new content, I’d think a Jeep wrangler specific tire comparison would be a hit. Like aggressive ATs vs MTs. Here in Colorado, the Duratrac is big due to its snow capability, but I’m iffy on going that route. I film trail guides with a mostly stock JK and I want a Rock Terrain with great snow/mud clearing capability lol
BF Goodrich KM3
Campus Automotive Inc yea probably, I’m running km2s now, but I was hoping to find something that’d make me much better driver 😂
What happened to showing the Super Swamper and the Super Swamper Bogger. Or the M/T mud tires.
I don't see that many Interco Tires anymore.
Only in competitions where the tire HAS to perform top notch. Haven't seen a mud bog truck or rock bouncer on much of anything else
Old school tires. Do they make them in a radial tire? Definitely don't see any of them out here in AZ. But, then again we don't have mud - just rocks and cacti. Need those thick side walls here. BFG's are what I run on my 4runner.
I was thinkin the same. I woukdnt even run this shit off rd where i live. I run 37x13.50x18 nitto mudgrapplers for street on my bronco. 18x39.5x15 boggers for trail use.
Ernie Desjardins yeah, I run bias ply swampers, and everyone that runs the same trails I do runs bias as well. Radial sidewalls just won't make it through a hard trail very often. Intercom still has a following for the extreme guys
Nitto TRAIL grappler. Guy doesn't even know which tires he is reviewing
My mistake.
Got the falken wildpeaks. Great grip on all terrains
That's what I hear.
I don't consider these mud tires. Mud tires are TSL swampers, Boggers. These are mall crawler tires
True old school mud tires
I’d buy duratracs over and over again, great tires.
they wear too fast for me. and, they are an "all terrain", not mud tires.
I did buy a pair though, as the tires i had became discontinued. They've been good. These went on a jeep, so the wear might not be as noticeable, being fairly light.
Cool
Why do you not put Cooper tires in your videos or Mickey Thompson tires in your videos y’all may not carry but when testing those tires should be included
I do have a couple of different videos on Cooper and MT
The first set of MTs I have are the Master Craft MTX. Going on 5 years with over 45k miles and I still have tread left. Going for 35's next. Thank you for your educated opinion on these tires. I have been looking at Mickey Thompson MT's, Maxis MT's, and the Grapplers (your favorite ones.)
Stay away from Mickey Thompson’s I had soo many flats with them
I had those tires on my ram 2500 and I got 35k out of them and still had probably 5k left when I got rid of them. I wish they came in a load range E tire in 35" though.
How about the hybrid AT3 WA (A) - thoughts? - released in Europe since a few months ago - th-cam.com/video/rhyzUssXo-Q/w-d-xo.html
I haven't see those here yet. It looks good though.
@@CampusautoCo closer to HT but remains to be seen in offroad
This was a really good break down and comparison !
Thanks!!!
What would you buy for a Toyota Tundra no lift kit, like to go to the beach, snow and camping gravel roads some mud and off road?
Thank you
I would go for a Toyo Open Country AT3 in your application.
I prefer a directional tire that cleans the mud out from both sides for my mud bogging.
Those aren't mud terrains, those are boggers. A mud terrain tire is what you see in the vid, something that is great in light mud and most terrain but also solid on road. Mud terrains are for a daily that also goes off road not a dedicated trail rig.
Tsl radial super swampers .. or the swamper bogger
I have a 2002 F350 XLT with LT 295/75 R16 the max is 80 psi but can you recommend pressure on both front and back..right now im at 70 front 75 back...cant seem to find anyone with knowledge to this??
There is a load chart somewhere but I forget where. You could probably get by with 55 or 60 unloaded.
What is your OEM tire size and pressure stated on the sticker on your vehicle?
This guy doesn't even know that the Nitto MT's were the top podium finisher for King of the Hammers. Yea, they definitely only for people who wants the look and never go off roading.
How about BFG?
Which tire will be quieter on the road. I have KM3 drove 20000 km on them. they are becoming noisier by the time and the tread pattern in the middle of the tires is not even after putting some miles on them.
I hate to hear that. They might need to be rotated.
Planning on those firestone mt2 for my next set. Right now I'm on nitro trail grapplers like the ones in the video, and when they were new until about 1/2 tread they were awesome in the mud and anything else I put them through. Fairly stable for towing too but I'm hoping the firestones will be better. Only complaint about the nittos is that they are bad about holding on to pieces of gravel
Should had put tires closer, would had shot closer
This commentary is awesome. I was laughing at the end.
Lol. Thanks for watching.
What do you tire guys think about the Cooper Discover. SST tire. Why not do a video on Cooper tires. 👍
I think it’s due for replacement
KM3 for jeep/ toyo for truck
max imod
Why not the other way around?
Tried Hankook Dynapro M/T, Toyo Open Country A/T, soon Toyo Open Country M/T (waiting to mount them) we'll see how they hold up. Have friends that are running the new Falken Wildpeak A/T, Nitto Trail Grappler, Nitto Ridge Grappler, General Grabber A/T along with all the other chinese "m/t" the local small tire shops are selling. Wish I had the time to do a review on all these tires, keep up the good content!
Thanks!
KM3 for the win
KM3 for the LOSS!
I’m running 35” KM3s MT
About to run 37s of these! Can't wait!
Maxxis 772 RAZR just got them very good
Just bought the x3 haven’t got to put em to a test yet but im hearing lots of good about them
You will like them!
My buddy have the same size tires. I have X3s and he has KM3s. We both have around 25k miles on them and we both use the same tire pressure (33psi). His KM3s are already at the wear line and my X3s have worn about 6 millimeters
I thoroughly enjoy mine. 33s. Great in snow and mud. Great traction on dry road and in the rain too. Not very loud.
Just bought a set of X3s
So far, I’m very satisfied. They’ve taken me through mudbogs I’ve had to be pulled out of with Hancook Dynapro AT/M
Unfair comparison? Maybe. It is MT vs AT
And I’m not knocking Hancook. They wore like iron & for the most part, not a bad tire.
Just don’t go too far off-road with them
Good video, I’m going with BFG KM3, currently I’ve BFG KO2.
Did you try them km3's?
@@cengo91 Yes, I use KM3 for 3 seasons and KO2 for deep ice season here (better traction on roads). The KM3 are definitely the way to go for dirt, rock, mud and snow. Huge difference in traction and control. Little louder on the road but not nearly as bad as regular mud tires. I am pleased with my upgrade. Already using them for 2 years.
@@bmorsh I will use them 85% on road 15% on offroad but that 15% is critical :) so I think it won't be a bad call for me
@@cengo91 What kind of off road situations?
@@bmorsh that 15%is; loading/unloading/towing boat on sand beach (or really small rocky beach) mostly and towing stuck vehicles in mud on construction site
