Tires Falken or DUNLOP
Bought mine this summer, they are AMAZING! Just yesterday I was driving in snowfall when the roads weren't great, I've had almost zero issues with them.
285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak R/T01 tires measuring 34” on Discount Tire’s website, clear with no front, rear or UCA rubbing or contact on stock suspension and wheels.
Dunlop SportMaxx RT2
I paid about $65 per tire (225/40/18) + shipping and then had a local tire shop mount them. They have been great in all conditions (N. Carolina) during the 8,000mi they’ve been on.
I use the Falken RT660+ on my NC during Race Season/Non Winter.
Really fun grippy tires, and are only $180 a tire in a 225/45/17 last I checked. They will drive in the rain just fine as long as there is not standing water (puddles) as well.
I daily on them and autocross on them during the warmer months
For that New England -> Montana winter highway run, the Falken Wildpeak AT3W is honestly the safest all-terrain you can throw on a Tacoma without going full snow tire. They bite way better on packed snow/ice than KO3s and stay stable at highway speeds.
Wildpeak AT4Ws, 255/85r16s, never go back. True 33s, no modifications needed to the truck at all. They are beasts in the snow and ice, I wouldn't even worry about having true snow tires with them honestly. They have crushed two Northern Michigan winters in a row now.
My wildpeak AT4Ws look great and offer really good grip on and off road. Bad ass tires. Cons are that they’re really heavy so MPG dropped from 24 to 18 highway, and the ride of the tire is pretty bumpy and uncomfortable, from what I understand it’s bc they are load E rated tires, for heavier full-size trucks so the taco can’t really offer the weight to squish the tire down to a comfortable ride. The MPG dropped was expected and I’m okay with it, but the bumpy ride is a bit disappointing. I would buy load C rated tires next
I have 33" Load C AT4Ws, and they have been awesome both on and off road. ...the gas mileage really takes a hit with the heavier tires and I can tell my suspension has a tougher time controlling them.
I’ve ran the Falken Wildpeak M/Ts (315/75/16) for over a year now… love the look BUT I am about sick and tired of them. I like to overland & I do like to go to the snow often, which I have learned the hard way that these tires are not great for winter conditions. They are horrendously loud, cause a ton vibrations & are super heavy.
Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.
