I think I've narrowed it down to the Toyo AT3's. Current stock tires are 275/60/R20 but plan on going up to 285/60/R20.

Not the cheapest set of tires in the world, so figured I would get on here to get some opinions. My truck is currently at the auto shop getting Bilstein 5100's put on that I ordered about a year ago.

How much of a level are you doing? You can probably go 295/65/20 if you crank it up to 2.25".

I was not a giant Toyo fan for quite sometime, mainly due to cost. Now that all of the major AT options are about the same price and they've been around long enough, I think they're a really good option. I cannot offer any personal experience with them other than friends of mine that have them keeping going back.

It will be closer to 2". I saw this picture online and really like the look.

Yeah, that looks clean. Once my tires get close to wearing out I am going to put the bilsteins on at about 1.75". Did that in my last F150 and kept enough rake when I was towing.

Here's Rule 1 on the install. Hoping to find time to get new tires later this week. Will post pics after the tires are installed and I get her all washed up after the rain that's supposed to hit soon.

Looks awesome. What height did you set the 5100s to? 1.75 or 2 inches?

I believe it's 2.25" but I could be wrong. I told him whatever the next setting was down from the max lift option.

I honestly enjoyed the Discount store private labeled Pathfinder AT. 50k mileage warranty or whatever and a fraction of the cost. Same tire as the Cooper Discover but Discount brand.

I'm going on year 2 of these on my 2016 F150 that were on it when I got the truck. I can't find a thing wrong with them except MAYBE the road noise, and I'm not completely sure it is the tires per se. They hold air well, haven't seemed to have lost much (if any) tread, and I had sufficient traction in the recent DFW ice storm. I think I'll still replace them at some point with BFGs but only because I got 70+ with 2 sets of those (zero issues in those 140K miles) and I'm not sure these will last even 50. But for the price, I think they are more than worth a look.

I got close to 60k on my last full set. I follow the rotation and balance every oil change method too and they stay pretty quiet

The Yokohama Geolandar G015 is a great tire at a lower price point than most other A/Ts and you should get well over the 50k miles they're rated for.

I just did Toyo AT3s on my Ram along with a 2.5" level. They look great and the set on my F250 lasted over 60,000 miles

I'm running 33x12.5/20 Toyo AT3s on my F150. They've been great, especially in rain.

TIRES & RIMS

1. Nitto Ridge Grappler Tires
($329/ea)
275 /65 R20 126Q E1 BSW , 9" wide with a +10 offset (Stock is 275/60-20, 8.5w/+44)
2. Readylift 66-2120 Lift Kit (~500-600 parts+install)
3. RBP 94R Rims (Sexy Chrome with Black Strips, uncommon so better) ($1800)
9" wide rims with a +12 offset

As listed above, my truck is a 2x4 so clearance is just a little bit different than 4x4, but not much. The setup listed above makes for a 34.75 wide setup, which is pretty much the 'max' my truck can handle with the lift on. I get the smallest amount of rubbing when I take a sharp corner really tight, and if I was to do off-roading really bumpy, I'd prolly get more. The rubbing has to do with the fact I moved the tires out (+10 offset vs factory +44) and the size (from stock 33in diameter up to 34.5).

Without the leveling kit in the front, there's no way I could have upgraded the tires.
Pictured here are two sets of pics, both with the FACTORY tires (PVD Chrome Lariat, Goodyear) and my NEW tires (RBP Rims/Nitto Grapplers)

I haven't re-calibrated with FORScan just yet, but my initial testing shows my speedometer is just barely under 1 MPH off. (I'm going 1 MPH faster than dash says)

I'm confused. Where did the two-tone go on the bottom two photos?

Waxed to a mirrored shine and the concrete reflection is pretty close to the color of the lower body panels. Look again

This. Photos taken on a bright sunny day, and it's "Antimater blue" so it has a very reflective shiny paint with as very 'moving color' based on the light. At night, looks black as black can be... in the day, if the sun hits it, looks pretty blue. Biggest variance I've ever seen.

Right on. I have a 2020 magma red lariat - it definitely is a color shifter. Brown / maroon / black. Wish it was a tad lighter.

Haven't had a chance to wash her, but just got the Toyos put on. Supposed to storm in DFW later today/tonight, so I'll probably just wait until the weekend to wash and post some glamour shots.

Thanks! Definitely better than the stock Hankook tires. I wanted to do this as soon as I bought my truck but figured I'd get my money's worth by driving these until they weren't good anymore.

That's exactly what I am going to do. Good to see what mine will look like. Congratulations!
