I tow a 32' fifth wheel 9-10k lbs loaded about 4-5 times a yr 2-300mi one way. A 20' pontoon during the summer 2hrs one way to the camp. Occasionally my 25hp Kabota tractor with implements on a gooseneck 24' duel tandem axel. All and all I find them very good fit for what I do. Occasional off-road in a field or dirt road that may or may not be muddy after a rain. Works great at the boat launch also speaking of wet traction.How much towing do you do?
I've read numerous threads where guys complained about keeping them balanced. Maybe because of how many rocks they pick up and carry. I used to walk by a coworkers truck in a gravel parking lot at work everyday. I bet each tire had at least 100 rocks of roughly 1/2" size stuck in them. When the tires wear down, they won't be picking up as many rocks.I ran KO2 35s for years, execlent wet/snow traction but I always had balancing issues, the more wear the tires had the smoother they got.
I’m over 30k on wild peaks and don’t see any cracking? I just did a rotation yesterday. I don’t have any complaints about wild peaks wet or dry. Where are they cracking? Is over or under inflation a possibility?Is there even such a tire that exists? I've had Duratracs, Wildpeaks, and now Recon Grapplers from Nitto. These Recon Grapplers are the worst tires I've ever had. When it rains it feels like I'm riding with WD-40 on my treads. My Wildpeaks were pretty good, but the treads started cracking at around 30k miles. And Duratracs were bad and slippy around 15-20k on my last truck. I'm looking for an occasional off-road tire and good wet traction. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I thought I’d come back with a little update on the at3 xlts. Still no complaint on wet or dry traction on the road. These tires are quiet, smooth, and I noticed no mpg loss. I am running the stock 275/70/18 size. I will say that I was not impressed with the traction on wet grass. Last weekend I cut a tree down and had to use my truck to roll over the main trunk and was shocked when I had to put it in 4x4 to do so because the tires would just spin. And secondly they are not going to last very long. They have 16/32” tread depth when new. I am closing in on 6k miles on them so I checked the tread depth since I am planning to rotate and I am already down to 12/32” front and back. Only about 1000 miles of that is towing the rest is daily commute. If they do indeed continue to wear this fast I will try something else next.I will second the Cooper AT3 XLT. I have them right now. It’s been raining where I live for 4 days straight and I haven’t had any slippage issues. They are 3 peak rated and a great looking tire
How loud are those?I have Cooper rugged trek and just turned 30k on them still above 2/3 tread showing very good in light off road and have very good traction in wet situations.
Fortunately discount tire usually honors the warranty (50k? 60k?) so I'll likely get a prorated credit.25k is brutal with what we're paying for tires these days. If I get through inspection ok next September I'll get 50 plus out of my Falken's, replace them in November before snow flies.
