I went from Cooper AT3’s to Maxis Razor and have been very impressed.Relatively quiet on the tar and good in the mud too. I did aCSR tip with them last season and was super impressed with how they went on the dunes. We had used specialist sand tyres In the past and these performed almost as well . No punctures too.
Ok, here are 4 reviews. 2 of which include tires on this video's list and the other 2 are not present for various and expected reason. First one and my hands down favorite tire to date...BFG KO2's. Had a set of these on a lifted (3") 2018 Toyota 4Runner setup for overlanding here in the states. Tires ran smooth although a bit loud (not unexpected). While on the road, they stuck the corners better than just about anything I've had before. As a daily driver, I never worried about my tires. Off road, they lived up to their reputation. I do not do a lot of driving thru mud, but I do spend a lot of time on a beach dealing with some soft sand and some rock crawling when i get a chance. A few years ago, I spent 3 long weekends trying to get the 4Runner stuck in some sand at the beach because I wanted to play with Toyota's Crawl Control. Needless to say, I never got a chance to try that feature out. Still the cream of the crop when it comes to tires in my opinion. An excellent tire that I would rate 5 stars if given the chance. Second, and this is going to be a bit of an odd one, is the Firestone Destination XT. Not really known or at least not really talked about much, but this is a solid tire that has served me well. I have it on my 2011 Tundra (yep...Toyota fan), with about 35k miles on the tires and the tread still looks new (the truck doesn't look so new tho...it has just over 200k miles on it now). Granted I don't do much off road with it as this truck is more of a work truck with the occasional trip off the pavement, but it has held up well. I consider it a work tire first and a play tire second. Here, I would give it 4 stars. Third and Fourth are both Nitto tires. I put a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 2011 Tundra some years ago. Off road (the beach and the occasional field activities here, but never chanced it with rock crawling) was ok and it gave a decent bit of bite on the terrain. On the highway/roads, these tires picked up every screw, nail, piece of metal, and any other junk that they could find. I replaced these tires around 16k miles after each one of them had been patched at least 2 times. In fact, I replaced them when the tire shop I use refused to patch one of the tires for the 4th time. Yes, the Nitto tires look good, a bit aggressive, but the rubber is soft and doesn't stand up to the daily drive that I was using them for mostly. I would give the Terra Grapplers 0 stars if that is an option. If not an option, then a single, lonely star. Finally, the fourth set is (yes I still have them unfortunately) the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. These are currently installed on my 2021 Tundra with 18k miles on them. And the truck has 18k miles on it because the tires came with the truck from the Toyota factory. I was not happy and requested Toyota swap them out with something I would agree on, but they were trying to charge me dealer prices for 4 brand new tires (truck came off the trailer to the dealer lot and had all of 2.8 miles total on it). Either way, I wasn't going to drop another $2,800 for tires at that time. I probably should have. I had the first flat at 7k miles (rear passenger) and the second flat at just over 15k miles (front driver). I believe the rubber on these is actually softer than the Terra Grapplers I previously had on the 2011 Tundra. I am currently trying to replace these with either some KO2s or maybe the MT Baja Boss, however, finding a set is proving difficult (the size and the general demand for either of these right now is making me wait a bit). Like the Terra Grappler above, I would give the Ridge Grapplers 0 stars if it is an option. If it isn't an option, then I will refuse to rate them. They are just plain horrible. Yes, I know I am leaving you a huge reply, but I wanted to give you some good feedback on the tires. Also, I would like to say that I have only seen 2 of your videos to this point, but I am going to check on some more later tonight. You did a good presentation on the details of the tires (even though I did cringe every time you touched or talked about one of the Nitto tires, LOL). Just a good video that actually has something that makes sense for a change. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
I've bought Geolander X-AT tires twice, once as 33inch and then again when upgrading to 35inch. They are absolutely great. On road they are super quiet and wear very well. In mud/off road, when aired down they have surprisingly good grip due to the outer tread/sidewall which comes into play. It's a very well thought out design.
Great feedback mate! Great to hear you like the X-AT. If you're keen, make sure you leave a review for them on www.tyrereview.com.au, as then it'll be in the database to inform others forever more, plus you'll go in the running to win a fuel card 🤘
Falken AT3W has been outstanding. I am in the Pacific Northwest, USA and am on my second set. They do well off-roading in everything except deep mud. Great road manners and good in wet, which is most of the time around here.
I am glad that you have had good luck with your Falkens because I seem to be one of the few who have not. Mine are needing replacing at 31,000 and I have rotated them every 5,000 miles. They also have dry rot and are cupping badly lately. I did love them for the first 20,000 miles (quiet and excellent on snow) but I expect more than 30,000 miles out of a set of tires that stay on paved roads. I am torn what to replace them with though. Everything seems to have pro's and con's.
I'm still loving my Maxxis Razr at811 tires. Quiet and great driving experience on the road. Excellent performance in dirt, mud, gravel, rocks, and wet pavement driving. Only thing I haven't tested them in is the snow. Anxious to get some snow this winter, can't wait to take them out and play! I'd definitely buy them again.

@@Bananahammock88 I have, and they've done excellent. Ice is ice, and you need to slow down of course. Snow on the other hand they gobble it right up. I drove through snow on and offroad and felt extremely in control. Great grip. I plan on getting these tires again when they finally wear down.
Having Falcon AT3W Wildpeaks mounted on my 2020 Ram 1500 4x4 in a couple days. I've watched countless reviews on the A/T tires. Best price I got was $271 per tire mounted and balanced. We had Falcon all seasons on our car and they were really good. Hoping these all terrains will live up to my expectations on the truck.
I have a ram 3500 that i hook up with a 32 ft gooseneck trailer that is mostly loaded with heavy loads, i recently replaced my old tires with the ko2s, been driving on them for about 3 months now and i couldnt ask for better tires, absolutely great and smooth drive and so stable and solid. Thank you for the great video, it's really helpful to learn what tires brands are people's fav.
I went from Falken wildpeaks to KO2s and now nitto ridge grapplers. The Falkens were great until 30k miles… then drastically fell off. The KO2s were all round pretty good. The nitto ridge grapplers were and are my favorite so far. Their on road performance is much better than the wildpeaks and KO2s. I don’t live in snowy or Icey weather ares, so I can’t comment on snow performance. But nitto is my top pick
I just ordered a set of razrs for my subaru crosstrek I can't wait for them to come in, I've been eyeing them for months almost a year! I have a dedicated snow set but I'm more liable to swap to these and sell the 1 year old snow shoes :)

Awesome review. Very interesting stats by the reviewers. Obviously some great product being manufactured by these companies today. Sounds to me like any of the 10 tyres on the review would be a good choice depending on use and terrain. 👍🍺
You're pretty much spot on Darren, and even most of them in the next 10 too. I think the tech and new tyres turned out in the last five years has really turned it up a notch. Thanks for tuning in!
I've had a good experience with the ko2 in the last months with everything including road noise.. except wet. Definitely not a fan of really wet or slushy roads.
Just stumbled onto your channel... Excellent content and greetings from. Northern Ireland. I'm in the market for new tyres for my Landcruiser. I've ran two sets of BFG AT KO2 and one set of BFG MT in the older design in the past. I love the AT but wasn't so keen on the MT as to noisy and wet grip not great. I've just ordered another set of BFG AT KO2 but had to check out the competition before I did so... Many thanks again
I bought a set of the Coopers AT3. And I've been happy with what the tire can do. Super quiet on the road. LIGHT, so my 2022 4Runner remained feeling peppy as as stock (even after I went up to a 285/70R17). BUT I have noticed people tend to think it's a stock size tire, because it looks small for a 285. And now looking at it side by side with all other 9 tires, I am wondering if that's the case. Were all of these tires the same size? I have read on forums that not all tires are made to the same dimensions, despite being the same size model. A comparison of this would be greatly appreciated
More than a year later on my response below and 32500 miles logged on these Falkin 37 12.5 x 20's. Best all-around tire I have owned. I will get at least another 10k-15k miles out of them and they are still relatively quiet. Come Jan/Feb I will be needing another set of Rubber so if you get the chance please review the KO3. Thank You Jeff
I have the Toyo Open Country AT3 on a Lancruiser 100 series. I was going to go the Nitto Ridge Grappler, but was told they are slippery in the wet, so i asked a few mates and they made the same comment. I changed out the Goodrich KO2. IMHO the Toyo AT3 are better than the KO2 by far, I have done 25K KM on the Toyo and hardly any wear at all, Toyo say 65,000 mile warranty on the AT3. It poured with rain awhile back and with the AT3 good feel back, so felt confident with them. I would get the AT3 again just have to wait about 100,000 km.
@@thesickening0169 I was going to go the Ridge Grappler, but heard they can be a bit slippery in the wet, The KO2 did not wear that well. The Toyo AT3 is very good in the wet, quiet, wears very well, so yeah the AT3 in my experience is better than the KO2 in everyway.
What Im finding is on a HD truck like my 2015 F350 Powerstroke and 2020 F250 7.3 that they have a tendency to go through tires faster than my 1/2 tons. I have used the Toyo AT 2 and Nitto Terra grapplers and preferred the Toyo only cause they wore better and felt slightly stiffer on the sidewalls. Both great tires. I then went to the Nitto Ridge Grappler..loved this tire, stiffer sidewalls and rode well if pressures were deflated.. 50F 46R...awesome tire but when approaching 30k miles they started to get a little loud for my likeing on the 7.3 gasser, which is my daily driver. I then tried the Yoko X-AT, another great hybrid tire and I rate it equal to the Ridge grappler. I just put on the Falkens...wanted to go back to an AT tire vs A Hybrid and I feel to date this is the quietest tire that I have owned that still looks somewhat aggressive and really behaves excellent in the soft mud when towing my trailers into a jobsite and really good in the rain, better than any tire I have owned, even better than my BFG's. The sidewalls are almost as stiff as the Hybrids but they feel lighter on their feet. There will always be a compromise. I have them aired down 53F 48R and will play with that some. My reviews are based on a 3" level from Carli which includes progressive springs and their shock package with 37 12.5 20's on a 9" wheel. So to date the Falkins are my favorite for do all hwy driving and as a partial on the trail/mud. They clean out quickly, very quiet and balance well.
Hey mate, that's great frank feedback, thanks! Excellent that you're working your way through the different brands and back and forth between the 2 ply and 3 ply tyres. The Falkens are kind of 2.5 ply sidewall with a funny turn up, so that's probably why you're seeing them as stiff. The Terra Grapplers usually review much worse than the AT2s, which is interesting. If you're heading down the middle of the road AT route next time, maybe consider the Pirelli Scorpion AT+, as they might suit what you're after... not sure if they come in a 37" though 😅
Great video guys! Loving all your content! I was looking at ditching my KO2’s on my current raptor to something a bit better on the road. I don’t want to lose profile which I’d have to do if I went a HT, so was thinking of going the G015 or Cooper AT3 LTX, only thing I’ve struggled to find info on is a few articles stating the G015 actually has greater rolling resistance and worse fuel economy then my KO2’s
We run the Geolander X-ATs on our Isuzu MUX, they're well priced, aggressive enough for most things off road, quiet on road and have been durable so far. 2 thumbs up from me 👍 👍

I am on my 2nd set of the Yokohama Geolandar X-A/T 37x13.50x17. These tires are not as popular here in the states. My 1st set went 53k miles. I sold them to another fellow who is getting about another 5-10k miles out of them. I have pulled these through a lot of mud and rock. We just got back from Moab and Colorado. We did Imogen Pass and Ophir Pass. Just look through a few of my videos. Truly a great tire!
From experience the Falken ones are just an excellent all around tyre/tire. I have a set on my SUV and they’ve more than outlasted their wear rating. A odd difference is I live in the US and mine are manufactured here. They have a 3 ply sidewall. They have a 50,000 mile/80,000 kilometer tread wear warranty and I’ve put at least 45,000 miles/73,000 kilometers on them and still have over half of tread left. Driving conditions have varied. 80% pavement, the rest off road. Trails, gravel, sand, and mud/dirt.
I have Falkens and have disappointed with the tread wear on them. Mine are basically worn out at 31,000 miles. They have been very good other than that. I rotated them every 5,000 and never take them truly off-roading. I do drive in snow and they are great in that. I have loved them except for the treadwear and they do pick up nails easily. I am not sure what to buy next time though. I was thinking KO2's but have read too many horror stories about their wet traction. I may give Falkens another chance after all. I love how quiet they are, great in snow and very good in wet.
@@jerryjohnson9531 where are you located and where were they manufactured? I really want to know as I have thought to get other type? All I can say is the set I have are amazing! Yes they are US made but a choice I find comparable to Yokohama!
Doing a great service for Australians "Tyre Review". Someone commented with regards not testing dueler AT, and you replied with a reason basically out of your control. I think your many followers on this channel could be made aware of the difficulties you face when gathering groups of tyres to review when every manufacture doesn't want to participate for varying reasons without naming them. It should be known you do your very best to bring the most current and broad information you can including nose measurements. A personal thanks to all the team.
Had the Wildpeaks last time. Went with the Scirpion Plus this time (cheaper) Scorpions are really great off road but I think I liked the Wildpeaks more...especially for highway driving.
Have tried BF Goodridge AllTerrain twice but this time they have priced themselves out of ‘my market’ o I have a set of Maxxis Raza which I’m very happy with to date. No noticeable difference between brands after 15000 klms

Why did you leave out the Yokohama Geolandar AT G015? I'm looking at these next over all the other tyres you have there, accounting for the fact I currently run the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus
Hey mate, it's more that this was a set of example tyres, rather than an exhaustive run through, as then I would have been there all day 😅 I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on the G015 after running the Pirellis 👍
What would you choose between the pirelli scorpion at plus and the cooper discoverer at3 LT? Tires would be going on a F150 work truck. I live in Vancouver so wet and snow traction is a main priority. Only "off roading" would be on unpaved sometimes muddy construction sites.
Running RAZR 811 on my 2019 Rav4 Adventure. Excellent on seal wet or dry. On gravel and off road mud and rock first class. Shade noisier than a normal road tyre but
The Falcon AT3W Wildpeaks - have become quite popular here in the states - they seem to handle the slippery wet tarmac & a mild build up of snow & ice quite well (When New) - possibly after they wear down below the 1/2 way mark - their performance might possibly drop quite abit. (The Mickey Thompson - Baja Boss) has also become a growing product with stellar reviews. (United States - 73801).
Definitely a great video. Well put together on actual facts comparison. I would also like to see what you guys could do with a tire spec comparison of AT and MT tires. Thank you for such a great video.
Hey Hemi, sounds like a good idea. I'm trying to work out something for the website that'll let us do this kinda thing, which will make it easier to do a video on it. Watch this space!
Got the pirelli at plus, really happy with them. Best at tyre I’ve had that holds in the wet on the bitumen. Currently looking at the geolander at or repurchase the pirelli. Awesome vid

Recently replaced a 5yr old set of BRIDGESTONE DUELER AT 697 with the same as I found they were good in the wet and dry conditions on dirt and tar roads as well as mud

Idk if theyre available down under, but I’m surprised the GY Duratracs and Yokohama G015s werent on the list. Had a stock set of the GYs and they wore pretty well for such a big-lugged tire.
Which tyre would you recommend for a LC 300 Sahara towing a 3.3 tonne van for the big lap of Oztraya? I'm thinking between BFG kO3 and Falken Wildpeak. I want to keep the standard wheels.
Absolutely! The Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus really does offer a fantastic balance of performance across various terrains. It's great to hear you’re enjoying it!
thanks. keep in mind that one bad / unfavourable review of the Geolandar would send it a long way down that list compared to the Falken. Hard to consider Geolandar until there are more reviews.
I really enjoyed your presentation. I drive a 2017 VOLVO XC60 with AWD. my Volvo has 255/45/20 summer tires. I recently ordered Faulkner Wildtrack a/t 245/50/20 and wondered if they’ll fit ok despite how grippy the tread looks vs the summer tires on the Volvo now
I was wondering if any of these tires are manufactured in Thailand since the latest KO2 and Wilpeaks AT3W in my country come from there. Are they as reliable as the US versions?
I’ve had KO2,s on several Defenders and now have them on my Hilux but they are now bloody expensive I paid £750 fitted 2 years ago now £1000 fitted. Good job they last ! They do generate a bit of noise as they wear and the back end breaks away in the wet with no load but overall happy with them, never had a puncture in 250,000 miles. Would I buy them again ? Probably but may look around. 👍🏻🇬🇧
I will now only use LT rated tyres. Secret is do the chalk test and find correct air pressure. 40 psi on say a Triton is probably way too high and will result in weird wear.
How about GO15? They have been great for me on my BT50 and I'm on my second set (both ver1 and ver2 tyres). They are as quiet as OEM and pretty good on wet roads. I will get them on my Y62 as well when the factory tyres wear out. I reckon they don't get the popularity votes because most people want to have the aggressive "look" even though they don't use them as much as these tyres are designed for. I choose the GO15s because it's the less aggressive type, I prefer quietness and comfort. Something that is more robust than oem tyres. GO16 has the "look" but I'm worried of how loud and harsh it would be with those aggressive tyre patterns and 3 ply wall compared to GO15s.
I love the traction I get with the Ko2. Off road, mud, snow, wet is ok. But my issue is they are so soft they wear so quickly. I have maybe 20,000 on them and they are at 6/32. They get rotated every oil change. 5,000 miles, they are a load range e on a f250. They just wear extremely quickly.
I am in the oil fields in west Texas and SE New Mexico and I just bought a '15 Tacoma that has 17" FUEL wheels and LT265/70-17 K02's on it...these K02's are virtually new. Most of what we see out here is sand and gravel, occasionally WET sand and gravel, but I think the K02's are overkill for what I drive on and I HAD the Yoko Geolander G015's on another vehicle and I really liked them. I suppose what I am after is, since I dont load up the truck very often, I would like a LIGHTER wheel/tire package that will get me a bit better MPG on the long runs between the rig and home. I'm lucky to see '16.0' in MPG now..... Thoughts?
You want to get as light of a rim and tire package as you can get to increase mpg, also keeping stock tire size or regearing to keep your effective gear ratio as stock as possible if you go with larger tires. Some people also say the tacomas do better mpg wise with an aftermarket toon but I haven’t tested that on my ‘17 taco
@@zamnex2153 yeah.....looking for some stock wheels and i have some other ideas as well. it gets better MPG with some fuel and not others...i guess its the alcohol content. My last vehicle would get 30mpg with NON alcohol 93....and as low as 22-23mpg with other gas with alcohol. Maybe I gotta start taking my baby bottle with me, again....
Hey man, just curious do you have toyo open country A/T plus tyre? I cant choose if I want to buy A/T3 or A/T plus :( and I cant seem to find any review for that tyre

Hello from New Mexico USA 87113, I have the Falken Wildpeaks on my 2022 Jeep Gladiator. Good road manners and somewhat quiet. They are very stable off road. I would buy them again.
I have a set of Toyo Open Country AT3 tires in 31 inch in my LWB 1993 pajero. From what I've researched the 3 is much quieter than the 2 and I have to say the tires are pretty quiet. Can't really hear them unless I'm at highway speeds with the windows down. Hopefully they make their way down under.
Oh, and if you're keen, make sure you leave a review for them on www.tyrereview.com.au, as then it'll be in the database to inform others forever more, plus you'll go in the running to win a fuel card 🤘
Been driving on various AT tyres for about 30 years now. By far the best AT tyre I have had are the Maxxis RAZRs but keen to see what the Toyo AT3s are like when they do arrive in Australia.
honestly the best i try in 20 years and i still always choose, are general grabber, last AT3 overmatch the ko2 in al situation. Nitto are not even imported in EU so i don't know
I think we need to compare the dueler AT vs these…like to see how that sits in the pack…surely beats most in comfort…also, comfort vs off road is a good comparison as most are after both.
I'd like to see where they rank, too. Unfortunately Bridgestone has chosen not to participate in our site at this stage (too many platforms for them to monitor is their key reason), but they might jump on soon 👍
@@TyreReviewVideos actually, funny, I ended up going for the Maxxis AT 811 and loving them, after finding out they are meant to be comfortable for a 3ply sidewall tyre. And guess what, they are, and also fantastic in wet. Good off road (as expected) and shines over little bumps for some reason that silicone rim edge works well I guess. Great soft rubber, I don’t expect 100K kms out of them, 50K kms is enough for me per set. (Or change every 2-3 years, always spend on tyres for my cars as they are the only contact between you and the road) thanks for your reply and for the content provided, great info.
Enjoyed the video but it looks like Falken Wild Peak AT3W should be #1 based on # of reviews & should be weighted heavier plus tied for #1 on buy again at 91%! I'm looking to buy these soon but they only have a 2 ply side wall however one note below said 3 ply in LT? Razr AT811 should be the 2nd pick with 84 reviews with 3 ply wall. I just put on 64k my Michelin LTX M/S P235/70R16T SUV as I take my tires to the end but factory stock made 70k with easy. Also LTX had to much slippage in CT, USA in the winter. My best winter tire was in the 90's on a small work pickup they were Yokahoma's! They got me home in a 2' blizzard with no plowing with state roads were closed for 4 days. I thought I was motorboating all the way home for 10 hours. Funny now but not then.
Hey mate, good feedback, and well done for looking into it more deeply! Yeah, I'm certainly reserving the right to change how we rank tyres, as it's relatively straight forward at the moment. The AT3W isn't a full 3ply sidewall tyre, it has a funky "turnup" which means that the second ply actually provides a third layer in part of the sidewall 👍
@@michaelwalker4961 mine have been great in the wet weather on dirt , Gravel , and even snow , unfortunately they have gone up a huge amount in price so I'm going to try something different and down size to a 265/70R17. Maybe you got a dud batch what size you running
I just bought a new Ford Everest with Bridgestone Dueler HT 685 255/70R17 (light/medium truck tyre) and they seem noisy. Would a good AT tyre be more quiet?
I haven't driven on those tyres in particular, but there's a good chance that some of these modern ATs will be a similar noise level (maybe less?) but with significantly more value for money when it comes to getting dirty. I'd actually really like to do a video where we pit an HT, an AT and an MT against each other, and just really see what the difference is when it comes down to it.
I'm shocked the Goodyear Duramax didn't make the Cut. They look a Great AT with some MT Characteristics. I was considering them before I actually bought Geolander G003 MT Which I have been shocked how Awesome they are, without Airing down.
Hey mate, I just didn't happen to have an example in the warehouse. This was more an example set of tyres, rather than exhaustive, as it'd take all day otherwise! I'm actually keen to get my hands on a set of the Duratracs, as they look pretty awesome, so thanks for your feedback.

Had nittos terra grapplers. Lifted tundra platinum they sucked. Went to Toyo open country AT 1-2 and 3 on another tundra had for 8 years. I was Toyo guy , joe it’s nearly impossible to get Toyo’s. Got the falken wildpeak ATs last week, we shall see. Oh I love in Canada it’s mid winter, tires very much put to the test
