Tires Toyo or Pirelli
The Cooper Discoverer AT3 was on my '06 2500 (before I sold it) and they were great. Rotations at 10k and lots of traction, but also really good life. Great in the snow and mud.
The Toyo Open Country AT are what are on my '08 3500. Solid tire, definitely needs rotations at 10k, lots of traction with fantastic life. Not anywhere as good in the mud as the Discoverer, but in the snow they were about 85% of what the Cooper tires would do.
Toyo m-55’s best fucking tire on a diesel truck hands down
Get the Toyo RT trails. They ride smooth and are more than quiet enough for me. Lighter than MT, look cooler than the ridge grapplers, more aggressive side lug, heavier load rating than Mickey Thompson for 35x12.5
Toyo open country . Surprisingly quite and smooth and great on and off road within reason.
I’ve been running Toyo Extensa hp2 on my Q 50 with 450 hp for about 3 years now and I’ve gone through two sets. They’re fucking incredible. I love them they grip they rip and they look good, great with the snow where I live and the wet and perfect for carving up on dry afternoons on back roads.
My pzero’s last up to 15k of aggressive street driving on my 2016 mustang gt. Every autocross day takes off 1000 miles, every track day takes off 2k ish. I more or less buy a set a year, but i love how well they handle on the street, how predictable they are on the track, and they don’t love autocross but i like the challenge there.
I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.
They are decent. I’ve ran the AS 4, Proxes and also the Extreme Contact DWS before. I would call the AS 4 and Extreme Contacts a tier 1 All Season tire, and the Proxes tier 2. The Proxes aren’t bad by any means but the dry grip isn’t on the same level as the other two especially at colder temperatures.
For example, my mercedes came with the worst runftlat tires from Pirelli. Those run flats felt like shit after 10k miles. Unusable and felt dangerous at 14k. Replaced at 15k when costco had proper non runflat tires from Michelin.
I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me , in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible
