been running Toyo MT on my two-door Jeep wranglers.. I live in the mountainous area of Northwest California. mud, snow, rocks, ice, pothole and washboard gravel roads, dilapidated paved county roads, BLM land with no roads, sand dunes,.. I've been running these tires for years and they're awesome. not halfway up the State Northern California... Humboldt county
Been running BFGs since the late 90s. I dabbled with a set of ProComps that needed way too much weight to balance. I also put on a set of Goodyear MTRs and had a sidewall blowout after a few hundred miles. My BFGs have come back from Colorado shale and Arkansas tree stumps with big cuts and gouges all over the tread and sidewalls, but kept on performing. BFG is the choice on all our family vehicles.
I was not a big fan of the Toyo M/T. Ran them for about 4-5 years and in about year 2 I was starting to spin them in wet grass, also didn't seem to do very well climbing in the snow. I have since switched to the BFGoodrich KM3 and I absolutely love them. I have had them for 2 years now and they are still holding strong. They have gotten me in and out of some fun situations and perform great in the snow.
BFG is leader, most winning off-road tire Toyo is good, but about 80% of pros still use BFG, Toyo is used by like 10% and the other 10% everything else.
Very surprised that Cooper STT pros or Nitto Trail Grapplers wer not on this list, I think these 2 r legit the best mud terrains u can buy. Do like some mentioned but I personally had both the 2 brands above and they perform so well and look amazing.
Actual Top 5: 1- Maxxis Trepador 2- Silverstone Simex 3- CST Land Dragon 4- Super Swamper / Bogger 5- Maxxis Mudzilla All DOT aproved and available in 35", 37" and 40". If you want a tyre that will last long, have good road manners and be available in mall crawler sizes, any tyre on the video is great. For mud, they are all terrains when compared to any on the list above.
My Yokohama Geolanders on my 2003 Tahoe were in great shape at 80,000 miles but they can’t work on tires over 10 years old. So I bought another set of Yokohama. They are definitely the best looking tire out there.
I’m on my second set of KM3s now. Truck (Power Wagon) came with Goodyear DuraTracs, swapped them for KM3s when they got down to 7/32s and then swapped the KM3s for Baja Bosses when they hit around 6/32s. Now I’m on the second set of KM3s. First set of KM3s were about $1700 with paying install, this second set I installed myself and the tires ALONE were $1850 even with my employee (I work at the dealer) discount. Despite the price of the KM3s and there being other great options for less $$$ out there I’ve yet to find better tires than the KM3s.
I just had 33’s of the Patagonia MT’s and they were very good. Honestly though they were noisy (I like it) they also carry gravel too much it sounds like studded tires until you go fast enough and then they pelt the wheel wells. Not a deal breaker but ya should know, also here in Alaska you’re paying more like 1400 for 4! My 36” super swamper Iroks were only $600 more LOL (10 years ago)
I have the Milestar Patagonia in my standard tire size of 275/65 20 on my 2009 F350 and they are the best tire I've had so far. Great off-road, quiet on road, good in snow and rain, plus I pull our 30' camper a lot and there has been no excessive wear from the extra weight.
@@JWard2 I’ve actually had them a total of 2 years and 4 months now. They’re down to around 1/4” of tread left. Not sure how many miles I have on them though. This spring we upgraded campers to a 35’ fifth wheel and we took it on a 1600 mile round trip this summer and we just got back from a 3300 mile round trip. They’re still doing great even with low tread. They are kinda loud now but not obnoxious in my opinion. I can still hold a normal conversation in the cab without raising my voice and can hear the kids in the backseat. We went through a mountain blizzard with the camper and drove over 8 hours in snow/ice covered roads through Kansas and Missouri without the camper on the way home. That was all with 1/4” tread and I never once lost traction. I had a car spin out in front of me and they stopped just fine. I still believe they’re the best tires I’ve had. No rock experience but plenty of muddy fields and they’re great then too. Before winter is over I’ll be buying another set. Also, I live in Minnesota so they experience the best and worst of all weather conditions.
Had dry rot issues with BFG and Michelin tires . My old cars are hobby cars that I don’t drive as much so I keep tires longer and BFG and Michelin dry rot before I wear them out. Trying out Yokohama and they seem to last longer so far .
I like the old school be Goodrich mt ta’s look similar to the nitro trail grappler but there were around long before the nittos. Had to floor my 5.3 to spin them even in slick stuff was hard to cut a donut also they dug so good.
I currently have 35x12.50r18 bfgoodrich km3 mud terrains on my 06 ford f350 6.0L powerstroke and im happy with them so far. Id like to go with the KO2 tire next go around. I paid $1520 for a set of 4 back in may of 2021.
I have a set of Milestar Patagonia M/T's on my play Jeep TJ. I wish I had them on my daily driver 4x4 truck. They are super quiet and balanced. You literally cannot believe you are driving on a mud tire. I don't know what the tread life will be (only had them about 6 months) but the characteristics are phenomenal!
I have been running offroad tires on my daily drivers and work trucks for 27 years. The Hankook MT 2's are easily my favorite overall. I don't understand why they are not featured as much on these types of reviews. Currently, I have a set on a Ram 1500 with over 50,000 miles on them. A significant portion of those miles have been done towing and on gravel. They have held up tremendously well. They are also the quietest worn down MT's I have ever experienced. I have had hybrid tires that were significantly louder when they wore down. Balance has been a non issue. I rotated every 8,000 and never had to rebalance them. I highly recommend them. Those XComp MT's are trash. I don't know how anything good can be said about them. Makes me not trust these "reviews".
I’ve used Toyo MT’s since I worked for them 20 years back when they were just coming on the market. The new MT’s that I run on my Jeep are bad ass... I wheel in some pretty nasty rock mess. I have buddies running KM2 KM3 BFG’s and I’ve seen the difference.. The biggest thing for me is the smooth ride on the highway and most important. LOOK at the side wall. Put that tire next to any of the ones they are discussing and compare the thickness. NO comparison. I’m running `37x1350R18 w/ NO Bead locks. Run 8-12 lbs and have never had one pop.. Check the sidewall before you buy.. You will see what I’m talking about.
Good video I would have mentioned nitto with the Yokohama Mt nitto makes a great tires and they are just about the same price than Yokohama keep up the good work
Won't ever run KM's again had 2 blowouts after 14000 miles 2 months apart that caused 7000 dollars of damage to my truck's quarter panels, and had to replace my right side exhaust. I went back to Nitto Trail grapplers and never looked back. I was lucky Michelin of North America paid for the body damage, but not the tires they prorated those.
One thing to keep in mind for the BFG KM3 is that they are awful on snow/ice. They get pretty scary in a cold Canadian Winter. I have ran Toyo M/T for years and they are my favorite by far.
Patagonia's are great all the way around EXCEPT for mud and they wear out fast!!! I got stuck in basically wet grass ! NOT going back with them! Ran them two times, I'm over them!
Why are all these trucks, racing trucks ? I'm not racing. What about driving in snow,ice, mud ? It would be nice to see the tread too. And i think one of the best mud tires is Mickey Thompson M/T. I liked these on my older truck when i had them. Never had a problem going anywhere. Even on ice they were awesome. Thanks.
20+K's l8er-> snow, mud, dirt, blacktop... ultimate compound & awesome on the JB74W Suzuki Jimny Greece and Alpine Europe no contest. Why go half ass when one can get the ultimate on a BFG KM3
I have an 01 I unlifted tahoe 4x4 I am wanting to get rid of my 265/75/r16's and put 285/70/r16's will they fit without modification or how much of any. Thanks
I am currently running the Toyo MT's. Love them for the off road grip and smoothness on the road. However I can only get 30k miles out of them. I am getting ready to replace them again. I need mud tires as they are on my work truck which spends 80% of its life off road. Any suggestions on a MT with a longer tread life on road?
They are probably going to switch to nitto because that's what is on the the ultra 4 and the side-by-side the Mild star on childsuport and stepchild but who knows
@@ericnunn8856 if he likes them and will put the time in for what he wants then they work for him i personally like there older stuff so if you're to advance or know everything then we can just let it be but don't knock someone for liking other creators that you don't
What kind of camera are you using? Looks like you're shooting in raw for A roll, and good raw at that, but I don't have a trained eye, so idk if this is the case.
I'm running the milestar tire on my jeep. They're great in the snow BUT lord help you if you're on ice. That continuous center tread will have you out of control in a second even aired down.
I rock the milestar patagonia tires in the winter and never have any issues with them. If you want them to perform a bit better on ice conditions, you can have a shop sipe the tires to make them grip better. Will be doing a snow run in a couple days and will have that video posted up on my channel next week.
Guess these city boys don’t know what a real mud tire looks like. They need to compare a set of Super Swamper bogger’s and a set of Thornbird’s. Put them on a set 24” wheels and call it a off road truck LMAO!!!
@@Asherr6 I’ve had them on two trucks. I truly don’t think you’d be disappointed. And like Roger Fuller said above, they are quiet. I don’t run bead locks and I’ve gone down to 25 (from manufacture 38) and it gives them a softer ride. When on trails of course. 😁. I run 33x12.50x18 and got mine for $218ish a piece.
Interesting. I've been watching similar videos and reading independent review/comparison testing and the tyre that usually finishes top these days isn't even mentioned here (Maxxis). Makes you wonder if this vid is just paid advertising for these brands.
It is not. We went with the top tires we have heard from others, experienced ourselves, and more. We appreciate the feedback and will make sure and take a closer look at Maxxis heading forward!
@@TrailBuilt maxxis bighorn and Patagonia user here and i can tell maxxis bites amazingly great but overtime halfway on its life it became noisy on highway but who cares Patagonia is quieto on high way and bites awesome but still i have to get half its life to figure highway noise They both great tires
I put the miles tar patagonia tires in 33s on my old TJ and have them on 35s on my current JK. As you can see on my channel, the tires perform extremely well. Keeping up with my buddies on 40s
8:36 - "Coming in at just shy of $1100 for a set of 35" tires on 17" wheels..." Does sound like a good price. What wheels would those come on for a 6 lug import (1999 Montero)?
My buddy literally just put the Milestar tires on his 99 Montero. He went for the 285/70/16 wheels though. He did only a 2 inch lift for that. Will be featuring his rig on my channel very soon with some comparisons with that tire in snow mud and rocks
