I have a new truck and its a 4X4. It will go off road probably 3-4 times a year. Twice in a rocky environment with hills and one or two times into mud. Not extreme by any means but I will probably need to put the truck into 4 high a few times.

My new truck has road tires that would have a difficult time on wet grass.

What brands should I look at that will not break the bank but also get good road life and still be worth having in the 3-4 times they will be useful?

Yokohama

The Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent will definitely accomplish what you're hoping for, especially if most of your driving is on standard pavement. It'll be quiet and smooth on the highway but capable off-road.

Just been looking into this one. Very intriguing if the claims hold up. Like a more aggressive looking Michelin Defender LTX ms2.

Bridgestone makes good tires outside of the stupid "made for oem" designs like the Alenza AS02 and Dueler 684II. The AT lineup is solid, and a quiet and smooth combo is hard to find in AT. That's where Bridgestone excels.

Mickey Thompson Baja extreme exp. Less noise than
Toyos. I love my set.

Don't get LT tires with high load rating - ride rougher.

Yokohama Geolander A/T is a great option - have ran a couple of sets of these. I've got the Cooper Discoverer on now, and like them too. Both mentioned previously by other posters - good advice on their part.

I would pick whichever I could find cheapest between the two.

Same here

You said mud so you should go with the BKT Agrimax's. They might be a little loud and squirrely on the highway but they are unstoppable in the mud.

You think thats enough tread to get me through 100 yards or so of light mud with a slight decline and incline?

I think it might not be up to the job.

My Bronco has Bridgestone Duelers (non-Sasquatch.) We drove several thousand miles on and off highway roundtrip to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with the traction, comfort, and noise levels.

Anyone have the MT Baja Boss?

They look really nice, and I've heard good things. Curious how they hold up long term.

Disagree.

Unless he enjoys fixing flats when he does go off road.

Have had "P" tires on the farm where we had zero rocks, pavement about 25% of the time, not really hauling that much or that often.

Lots of flats, didn't last long.

I say get LT tires, but don't inflate them to max. For instance, I have tires rated 80psi. If I'm not towing or loaded, I run 50psi. Could probably run 40.

Same. Been running them for years now and they work great.

The whole 3-4 times a year can be a bit of a misnomer. If you get stuck or they get punctured, it doesn't matter how many times you run them. Only takes once.

I was hoping to get some recent take off wheels from a tire shop when I bought the new tires so I had a set of road tires in the garage for that just in case scenario. But not looking like the secondary market for 3rd gen Tundra wheels is a thing.

I normally don't like aftermarket wheels. So if anyone is looking to dump their Tundra wheels when they go to a giant tire on a new wheel, and live in Houston, we might have to talk.

Edit

Ok found many but the price was not what I was guessing.

Are you looking to keep stock size or go slightly larger?

What you're asking for is an All Terrain Tire. If you go with something like an LTX A/T II or similar model from Bridgestone or Firestone, you're really gonna be in a pickle if you come across some slippery stuff.

A true all terrain like Coopers, Nitto Terra Grapplers, BFG KO3s, Toyo ATs, and similar are all going to give you great traction in everything but the really muddy stuff. From what you describe, I would not want to deal with a mud terrain for the rare times you would normally use it. It looks better but rides worse and at best will last you 10k less than an AT.

Regarding load range, I would assume your OE tires are P rated like every other half ton on the market. They'll have a higher load rating but I'd walk away from a P and look at an LT if you can. This will depend on size…

I would NOT recommend putting a 10 ply tire on your half ton. If they have a D (8ply) tire or even a C (6ply) - although the load rating on C vs P heavy load might be damn similar, I would go with those options. I imagine you'll run into the same problem I had with 20" wheels where anything over stock size = 3/4-one ton size and virtually nothing is available outside of a 10 ply… look at the weight of the tire and you'll know why I recommend against it.

Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. I've got them on my Range Rover, they are absolutely fantastic as a daily driver that can go offroad on occasion.

Google them, they get amazing reviews. I don't think I've ever seen a _bad_ review of them.

I'm a few hundred miles short of 50K on the factory General Grabber (add additional letters here) that came with my 2019 GMC Sierra SLT 4x4. I'm about to start shopping for new rubber and am mainly looking for low road noise, but also decent grip. I've only used 4WD a half a dozen times in the almost six years I have had the truck, but it is nice to have.

$870 out the door


Have ran these on multiple Tundras for 10+ years now and they are hard to beat

Big fan of Fallen Wildpeak AT4s. Had a set of AT3s that lasted 55k miles and now on to the AT4Ws. Good traction in all conditions. Road noise is low. Drive smoothly in road.

Whatever tire you decide on, if it's an AT, please rotate and balance every 6-8k miles.

I was planning on stock but visually I think larger would be desirable.

Another review:

Falken Wildpeak AT4W wins again.

Another thing I like about the Coopers is that they always exceed their 60k mileage warranty. I ran BFG's before switching to Coopers. While they had great performance, the BFG's never made it to their 50k mileage warranty.

On half ton? I'm on my 3rd set of BFGs (newest are KO3s) and I've made it 60-65k on the previous two sets and could've gone a little longer.

I have the 35" tires on my Tacoma and have been very happy with them. They're very quiet, durable, and perform very well off road.

I do have the LT for thicker sidewalls, so airing down when offroad very much helps with comfort.

Current set has almost 47k miles on them so they're starting to show age. They're wife approved for comfort and quiet, so I'll probably buy them again.

Put down another vote for the Falken Wildpeaks. I have them on my 4Wd Tacoma and love them. Very civilized and not noisy on the road and very capable off-road. I had BFG ATs on my previous Tacoma, and they were not good on wet pavement. Great offroad, but lousy on wet asphalt.

Load range D? I have a 23 f150 which will need new shoes pretty soon. Still oem with 37,000 miles in a year.
Previous 3/4 tons I've always had the same bfgs 10 ply but they only go about 35-40 k miles before needing to be replaced but that's with some ranch hauling and plenty of rock roads.

They didn't have the Load Range Ds in my size yet and I was going to have to go to a wider and taller tire to get the Ds which weighed about the same as the Es. They're not terrible it's just about 12lbs heavier per tire than I need.

I am impressed with them so far!

Love my Coopers!!
