2nd Gen Expy owners, what all terrain tires/ mild mud tires are you running?

[ZombieSoldier]

I am getting ready to take off the 22's and go smaller rim, with more sidewall with some good all terrains or mild mud tires. what is everyone running on theirs? I currently have Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrains under my pickup truck and absolutely hate those garbage tires.

I am running 275/70/17's Cooper AT3's love them!

 

[ZombieSoldier]

how aggressive of a tread pattern is it? our area is that annoying sandy clay mud... and it is so super simple to get stuck around here, as we found out once with the nitto NT420S tires...

 

[GAINMOB]

u still want my stock in december?

 

[ZombieSoldier]

yes, i think i do. i am trying to start planning things now..

 

[brockncole]

They are not mud tires.... But they do well and don't kill the gas milage like mudders do.

 

[ZombieSoldier]

do you have any pics of them on your expy?

 

[brockncole]

I haven't had time to take a picture of them since I got the new rims.. I will some time today and try and post them tonight...

im running this https://www.treadwright.com/p-51-285-70r17-warden-a-t-d.aspx. slight rub when turning at stock height. 3.5/2.5 spacer lift and no rub when turning now. Inexpensive tires and not bad on miles. last tank plus trip got 17.5mpg(basically flagstaff to LA). getting around 14 in town. Slight drone as expected with AT's

 

[ZombieSoldier]

You have no issues with the tread wright tires? I have been curious about them. Seems like a great deal but have been hesitant due to being retreads..

 

[tallsville]

no problem so far. even had them up 110mph for a second. handled ok in the mud. only got stuck once. and thats cuz i was in 2wd and tried to switch to 4x4. so tires stopped and sank.( it was sandy mud)

 

[ZombieSoldier]

Hmm ok. Been eyeing up the ones that look like Goodyear wrangler MT/R's

 

[brockncole]

check out Discoverer STT they will be a little cheeper than the good years. But as aggesive. I love the Coopers. Just my thoughts..

 

[tallsville]

almost went with those maybe next time. money was tight and the extra $120 for set couldn't do. Shipping to LA was $30 a tire. so paid around $620 for the set shipped. not to bad. and the cores i got were goodyear AT's I think next time i'll get the 315/70/17's

 

[brockncole]

let me see if I get this right...

I know i dont have a 2nd gen, but I will also vouch for the Coopers. I have the S/T Maxx's and they are an amazing all around tire. I like the more aggressive look so next time I will go with STT's just for the looks, but I recommend these S/T Maxx's to everybody. I have a pic of them in my albums somewhere.

EDIT: Found them
