running 35x12.5 17s looking for a long life good traction set any suggestions on what i should get?

 

Stay away from Grapplers

 

I have a set of mickey thompson 33x12.50r17 on a set of mickey thompson 17x9 classic locks on my wifes's 07 tacoma double cab long bed with a 6" lift and they have been on for alomst 2 years and they have close to 41,000 miles and they are at about 50-55% tread left. I have them rotated/ balanced every 5000-6000 miles. They work great in snow , mud, wet and are really quiet, not silent . The ride is smooth and they are all aired to 29psi stock pressure and are wearing evenly. Haven`t had a single problem yet! Shot I got a set of MY 38x15.50r18 claws on my f250 and the have over 31,000 miles and have had no problems and they are at 45-50% tread lift left. I think I paid $225 per tire. I had good luck with the toyo MT's on my f250 before the claws they were 37x13.50r17 on a set of 17x10 centerline cooler wheels got over 56,000 on those when I took them off and they still had a good 5000 plus miles left on them.

 

ok thanks. I was thinking about bfg all terrains havent heard a lot about em though. dont really need mud tires.

 

The mickey thompson ATZ's are a AT tire. I has a set of the bfg AT tires back on my 1996 dodge 2500 w/12v 5.9L cummins and I didn`t get good milage out of them at all. I have never bought another bfg set of tires since. Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

 

okay. Also anybody ever ran a Cooper A/T? i had some smaller ones on my old half ton and they seemed to work fine n last good before selling it.

 

Cooper makes a good tire, I think the bought mickey Thompson tire brand

 

anybody here ever run bfg AT KO or cooper stt or the cooper st? trying to decide but not sure which to go with. Not gonna be in the mud a lot just want a good all season tire that will last.

 

I have had the cooper s/t for 4 years and right about 55k miles. They have been the very best tire I have ran. 285/75r16 even though I am a ford guy this tire is good.

Off road it handled good but I don't wheel so the most off road I get is 6-12" of snow or getting to a camping spot. I could honestly run a highway tire and be fine. This summer I am going to lift and run 35" cooper stt

 

I dont plan on being off road a whole lot but being a diesel its heavier and ive been researching between the kelly tsr and cooper st both have shown good reviews. prices range about the same. anybody ran tsrs?
