I am trying to pre plan my next tire purchase
History
When my Fj was new I got some moto metal alloys and 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I thought they were the worst tires in the world. No Grip, no mud and I could not balance them to save my life.
It turns out I think it was the wheels that had a problem.
I got a deal on some barely used Hankook Dyna-pro M/T same size and I converted to stock steelies.
They actually were nice. Always balanced out and seemed to grip good in mud and on the rocks. Then I got a deal on some stock steelies and Goodrich KM2's, Same size. The Hankooks still had life but I wanted to try the KM2's
So that's what I have now.
My impressions of the KM2's is they bite well but not better than the Hankooks . They do seem to chunk and the sidewalls gouge easily. They seem to wear more quickly too.
So I want to go to 35's
I found some 2010 16" FJ Alloys and want to mount a 315/75/16 or 35 on them.
Here are the choices I was thinking Hankook dyna pro M/T, They are very reasonable, or try the new Nitto Trail grappler, if they have the 35 size for 16's yet, or get the KM2's in the 35. Any thoughts on these choices?
Thanks
Don
