Pat Riot Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Personally, on a truck I prefer BF Goodrich All Terrain (A/T) tires. If you drive on dirt, gravel, sand or off road in general they are the best in my book. If you encounter mud then BF Goodrich Mud Terrains. If you are purely a road driver I have no recommendations for street truck tires. Oh, wait. Years ago I had General Mud and Snow radials on my 93 Ford F-150 and for street tires they were actually really good off road. On my wife’s Suburban we have been running Toyo Adventure tires and they are a good all around road tire and hold up well in snow, but you don’t have that problem in Florida.

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 @Pat Riot, SASS #13748 , How were the BF Goodrich All Terrain (A/T) tires as far as interior vehicle road noise? Our current Dunlop tires create an annoying humming sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 That symbol on the dash means one of the tires is low on air. It could also be a bad sensor, but usually just low pressure. Check the tire pressures to see. If one is low, add air obviously, but it may take a bit for the light to go out. I've seen some take a couple of starts before they go out, however most will go out when you add air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Howdy, Honda crv just got new Goodyears last December. I went thru winter and hardly spun a tire.....so eazy. I really leaned to Pirelli but the 100 card from GY kinda made the deal. Only drive street o course. Tire Rack reviews all sorts of tires but the ratings were so close they didnt convince me..... Its good nuff to avoid wasting bucks on junk, I guess. Best CR and there is a reset procedure that might be all you need??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheatin Charlie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sounds like the batteries in the TPM's are going bad they only last 7 to 10 years. I have 2 vehicles with batteries going dead. I will replace them when I buy new tires. Until then I check my tires like in the old days before the TPM's. I can buy Delco on line for the Buick fairly cheap. Not so for the Kia. People are keeping their vehicles longer so this will become more prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had those for 4 months then gave them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I run Michelin on everything I can. Always have the best luck and wear out of them than anything I have tried in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Chapo Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I recommend Michelins. I have them on everything. For offroad type/all terrain tires, Michelin does make one, but it's more modest in tread than its competitors. If you only do primarily highway driving, the Michelin X LT A/S (all season) is what you want, not an all terrain. https://www.michelinman.com/auto/tires/michelin-x-lt-a-s You can get cheaper tires but you won't find a better tire than Michelin. They are the best in every category they seriously play in, besides all terrain or mud tires. My fiance has all seasons on her Rav4 and I have the Pilot Sports on my car. For all terrain type tires like I have on my truck, I have Goodyears, but they don't last as long, ride as smooth, or have as good of traction on dry and wet roads compared to all season tires, so they're a compromise.

Texas Joker Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Do you tow with that truck? I prefer LT rated tires to AT for wear on trucks I tow with. I also tend to buy tires at Walmart with road hazard. No matter where I go in CONUS I can find a Walmart for R&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run those Michelins on my old F-250 for years and plowed with them. For an all season they work well. They do not work at all in mud, even lite mud, the tread loads up instantly and you have slicks. My only gripe is the mileage, only gotten 30K out of both sets with proper maintenance. I do tow about 1K a year and plow my own driveway, but I believe they claim 60K! I'm trying some cheap MasterCraft now as I don't tow with it anymore and use it now as a spare rig and plow truck.

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Toyo tires for the Toyota Tacoma. WAIT, is that alliteration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laramie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Tire pressure sensors and Toyota are pretty much a thing. Replace them with the tires. Once you do, they’ll have to be initialized. Aftermarket sensors don’t always work so well. laramie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Another thing that the light on the dash can indicate.... Our newer 4-Runner spare tire came equipped with the TPM and the spare (which had never been used) had lost enough pressure that the sensor read it as low enough to require a warning. Pumped it up, restarted the vehicle and voila the light went out. We run Toyo Off Road LT/AT on both our 4-Runners and haven't noticed much road noise. For real noise, my F-350 with 10 ply offroad tires sometimes got annoying but when you needed to go in the mud they were worth their weight in gold (and price!). Now that ol Red has been retired to just pulling the 5th wheel it has Toyo HT/LT which are not near as aggressive or noisy but immediately bumped the gas mileage up by about 1-1.5 mpg.

Calamity Kris Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I used Tire Rack.com when I replaced the tires on the Honda. They were spot on. I plan on using them again when the time comes to replace the tires on my new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Haller Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2s. If towing, carrying heavy loads or doing alot of off roading, look into E rated ones. Otherwise, C rated will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Bob Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Love the BF Goodrich all terrain’s. All I ran on my last 2 trucks . I’ve just about worn out the factory tires on my 17 Ram and the factory Yokohama’s really weren’t bad but I’ll be replacing them with BF Goodrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Just replaced my original Goodyear Wranglers on my Ford F150 two weeks ago. Got 45,000 miles on them and they rode great, so that's what we went with again. I do not off road, but they were good in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
