I will be looking to get new tires in couple weeks

What would be recommended

Im looking for
aggresive look with Smooth / quiet ride ( I know this two wont match but the best combination)
S/M tires

My duratracks were fine but would like to try something else

Budget around 1200

 

Generally aggressive tread patterns are not conducive to quiet rides. I put Nitto Crossteks on my Canyon to have a more aggressive tread pattern than the stock street tires and they are as quiet as street tires but no where near the look of MTs. The MTs on my H2 are insanely loud at highway speeds but I kinda like it, hearing the rumble in overpasses or tunnels is always fun.

 

 

Are the Goodrich ko2’s the oem ?
I got the truck with Goodrich , nice quiet ride but I didnt like the look
However the Ko2 looks different than my previous set

Lojack . I like the look butI think for what I use the truck Mts will be too much .
How about the nitto
Or Goodyear wrangler

 

I ended up with the Interco VorTrac Lt as I was looking for just what you are along with an actual 37" tall tire.

truck has a good ride and is quiet,

Tire is an AT which I don't off road my truck so it works great for me

The Interco company is local to me and the VotTrac tire is made in the US

Legerwn . Could you take a pc of the truck with The Vortrac tires .
Is there any rubbing . Mine rub at full.turn due a mistake I made with the wheels

 

So far Im leaning to the NITTO TRAIL GRAPPLER TIRES
Seems aggresive but still kind of quiet
Could anyone comment on this tires

2nd choice BFGoodrich ko2

 

I'm burned on the BFG KO2s.
They run 1.5" shorter than claimed: 35s are 33.5" and 37s are 35.5" & tend to start showing dry rot in 18 to 24 months. A few people confirmed that in the thread I made about the tire. They are smooth & do well off road, but they will not last. If I'm sitting at 30k miles, I can't see getting more than 45k miles without worrying about blowing a tire. This is 99% highway btw.

I've been looking at tires recently, and a few I'd consider are:
Cooper ST Maxx (hybrid)
Cooper STT Pro (mud tire that rides well)
Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 (aggressive all terrain)
Mickey Thompson MTZ P3 (aggressive mud tire)
Firestone MT2 (mud tire with limited, but excellent reviews)

Cooper makes Mickey Thompson (and Dick Crepek) tires in the same plant. They all (including firestone) have silica in the tread, so they really bite into the road & hold you there.

The ST Maxx has a thicker sidewall than the STT Pro (the Maxx is heavier in the same size due to this) and is tougher for off-roading. Not sure on ride quality. People seem to love how the STT Pros ride even though the tread will make you think the ride will be blocky.

I read that the ATZ P3 is a very quiet tire. It has deeper tread than the KO2, so it probably hangs with it offroad, if not better.

The Firestone MT2 is up on my list from what people have mentioned. Deep treat, quiet at highway speeds (65mph+), smooth ride, amazing off-road and on-road traction. From what's been said, it seems like an all around great tire.


Another tire to consider is the Falken Peak AT3W. It's another hybrid like the ST Maxx. Seems like a pretty smooth riding tire & comes in the 325/60r20 size you run.

 

 

I'm not a fan of my 2nd set of BF Goodrich tires. The original tires seemed to get 2 to 3 times the miles that I'm getting on these. I don't know if they are the KO2 or any of that but remember that I had a choice of 2 versions. These are wearing funny and I might be lucky to get 40K out of them.

I think my next go around will be the other version I'll go after market wheels and tires.
