Towing Tires upgrade from Transforce

[Brutal_HO]

That was definitely not my experience. They were as loud as toyo MT's and Nitto Trail Grapplers ive had in the past. They howled. Maybe i had a bad batch but i was not impressed.

Most find them loud after some initial wear.

I think @H3LZSN1P3R must be deaf or needs to turn down the music.

For sure the first one and not so much the second one lol. Also i have had my share of boggers in the past so anything is quiet compared to them

Thanks for posting up what you guys are running, it has given me some ideas. I ran the Duratracs on a 2012 Tundra when I worked up in Leduc Canada and they worked great on that truck but was not sure how they would work on a truck that weighed 8500#.

I feel like the Ridge Grapplers feel right at home on a heavy truck, they’re basically Toyos. Toyos will serve you well. Any of the offerings from Copper will give you a good experience. Lots of good tires out there. I didn't catch your location, but I live in the south and don’t need to worry about snow or ice.

I am a BFG fan, but I would stay away from the BFG KO AT they’re absolute junk and they’re the Ultimate fudd tire. People only run them because that’s what their daddy always ran and so that’s what they’ve always run and they never figured out that there are (much) better tires out there.

Thats pretty much all we put on service trucks that are upwards of 12k loaded

I have been using Toyo Open Country C/T tires on my last few trucks. They are good stiff heavy tires that work well in snow .

Im really liking the cooper at3 ltx i have 20k km on them (12k miles) they are at about 3/4 tread with plowing and heavy towing i am hoping for about 80k km (50k miles) but we shall see

but my usual go to is Goodyear Duratracs i tend to get 60k miles from a set and they are great for plowing and anything i throw at them

I just ordered 5 of the Cooper At3 XLT 275/70/18 yesterday for the new 2022 on order, how are these working in the snow for you in Canada. I thought about the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W or Pathfinder AT but wasn't sure about heavy towing with those. It's not to late to change as I have not mounted anything yet on the new Battle Born wheels that just showed up today.

What air pressure are you running dry summer months/ winter/ towing.

I came across this guy in Alaska using the Cooper AT3 XLT on this old Power Stroke with this huge camper doing overland stuff.

For winter they work great i often am only plowing in 2wd with these tires I run 60/60 year round thats where they wear flat and i bump the rears up when towing to 70/75 depending on the trailer…. I love them i am considering a new set when these wear out
