Tires Nexen or Falken
These Falkens were great in the snow and the very little dirt road driving I’ve done.
I have the Falken Sincera SN250 A/S and looking on Tire Rack, they seem to be a direct upgrade to your Laufenns for about $10 more each. Might be worth a try. I've found them to be quiet and absorbing of bumps and road weirdness. Also lightweight feeling.
I changed my tires to the non-OEM Wildpeak AT3W in size 285/75R18. Effectively 34" tall. No modifications/lift, only slight rub. Fuel economy is essentially unchanged with 75k kms in the larger tires. I didn't notice any significant difference in ride or noise. But I was much more pleased with the look of the tire filling out the wheel wells much better.
I went Falken Wildpeak AT4W P285/70R17 SL which is almost stock at 32.8" on my scs 17x8.5 +20 wheels and am totally satisfied. Almost stock weight and size but with a "truck" look.
Falken Wildpeak AT4 275 / 65 / 20. Yes millage takes a little hit but I drive alot of gravel roads also. For me highway noise is minimal. Basically a 34” tire. Also like the little wider foot print over stock.
Went 35 11.50 r18 wild peak at4 on my 2024 TRD pro. Can definitely tell a difference in weight. You get used to it. Fuel consumption went down a bit but not too bad. Rides fine. These have some noise but that's to be expected for AT tires. Don't regret the upgrade. Looks so much better.
I run the Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 in North Dakota winters and they haven't failed me yet
I absolutely loved my wildpeaks, yea, the ride is slightly harsher, but I do a fair amount of offroad driving and snow driving, so I'm ok with that. That being said I found 2 issues, 1, they got loud as hell about halfway through their lifecycle, like, to the point id reconsider buying again, 2. They stated cracking and chipping really bad at about 6 years.
This one came with Nexen tires that were brand new when I purchased the truck. To be honest, these were the worst tires I have ever owned. Well, I have had a lot of issues in rain where these totally loose traction in the rain going perfectly straight. Didn't matter how fast I was traveling. The final straw was with my wife in light rain and a slightly wet road, turning onto an onramp at about 30mph and the entire rear end started sliding like we were on ice, without me trying to accelerate yet.
Terrible on my Silverado. Ride like I'm driving on rims
