Tire Survey

[N559br]

Well, I've got 40k on the OEM Hankooks, but it's time for new tires. Going with stock size 265-60R18. I had To AT3 on my land rover and lived them. Not sure I really need triple peak rated tires on the ranger.

What have other folks put on and how happy are you with them?

So I went with 35's so my ranger tire choice doesn't really help but I can speak quite highly of the falken wildpeak at3w's. Biggest question is do you want/need at's if not a good all season would be ideal though I know little to nothing about those.

I've thought about all seasons, but some boat ramps are pretty slippery and I wonder about their grip in that situation. Also, will be towing my 911 to some events several hours drive away.

Honestly all seasons will probably do better on wet tarmac than all terrains, now if its a dirt or gravel ramp that may be a different story

I'm putting Falken Wildpeaks on next spring. They have good rain performance and are three snow peak rated. I use dedicated winter tires, but occasionally I'm caught in an early or late season snow without my winter tires mounted.

I want A/T tires as I drive on forest logging roads often for recreation.

If you just need mild A/T tires, look at the BFG Trail-Terrain. I thought about these. They would do forest roads okay for the most part, but they don't have as good of a rain braking performance as the Fallens.

I installed stock size BFG Trail Terrains and they are good for logging roads and other off road excursions. They are OK in rain but are really good on snow and ice.
Mileage is about same as stock Bridgestones and are quiet on the Hwy.
Very happy with them.

I love my nitto terra grapplers.

I upgraded to BFG K02's 265/70/17 from my Ford OEM stock tires. Love these A/T's. Great Improvement in the handling of the Ranger. Super smooth running and very quiet on highways. Yet the tread is aggressive enough for normal off-roading. One plus is they are highly rated for long life.

I had the factory tires swapped for Toyo AT2's before I took delivery back in 2020. I now have 90,000KM on them and will be replacing in the next 2 months before winter with Toyo AT3's. I've had really good performance with the Toyo's, good mileage, they are good for winter and snow rated (legally required for Canadian Rockies) and they provide really good stability on gravel / logging / FSR. Highway road noise is acceptable and quieter than the KO2's on wifes Wrangler.

Just a few simple questions.

#1 do you see yourself going OffRoad at all? If so how often?

#2 do you see snow in your area? If so how much on average?

 

[N559br]

I love near the Blue ridge, so we use logging/fire roads some. No hard off reading.

We see snow regularly here in West central Virginia along with hilly terrain.

I also tow close to max capacity quite a bit.

Those BFGs look great on your truck! Did you do any suspension mods... lift/level?

Stock suspension...no lift or level. The bigger tires did raise the truck height some.
