Overtrail Replacement Tires (1 Viewer)

[Hendo66]

I have the 285/70-18 AT4W on factory OT wheels. At 7.5” wide the factory wheels are right at the minimum approved wheel width (7.5” - 9.5” is the approved range for Falken). No rub. I chose to keep the factory 33” spare under my GX. While the AT4W might have fit in the space, it would have been ~1” lower under the truck due to the increased tire width. I need as much clearance as I can get/keep for when I’m hitting the trails with my son in his Tacoma.

What affect on fuel economy do you think the 285 over 275?

Went with BFG KO3. 500 miles in I can report, road noise lower than expected. MPGs holding steady at around 17.4. Went stock size on OEM rims. So far, so good.

275/70r18 here. Went with the Nitto TG3 since it was the largest SL rated. No added noise and fills the wheel well gap better, but a 285 would probably be perfect. Just didn’t find any in an SL

I posted my experience with K03 and Wildpeak AT4s at 285 65r on stock rims. I ultimately went back to stock size OEM Toyos for now since the ride quality and noise were not as good as the OEM tires on my OT+. If I had to do it again, I should have tried the wildpeak AT3s in 285s SL first since what I read is they are the same weight as OEM and quieter than AT4s. When these Toyo stock tires wear out, I’m flipping to Wildpeak AT3s.

I’m running B.F. Goodrich KO3s in the original OEM size of LT265/70R18/E 124/121S RWL. I ran these on my 2024 Land Cruiser First Edition and am running them on my 2025 GX550 Overtrail+. Durability is fantastic, winter performance is very good, highway noise is surprisingly low for an E load range tire, and I’ve been averaging approximately 19.5mpg in my first 1200 miles of mixed city/highway driving. For whatever it’s worth I’m running the KO3s at approximately 45psi cold pressure.

Do you experience any longer braking distances compared to the OEM Toyo's? the KO3 are significantly heavier. Thanks

I can’t directly answer that question in the GX as I had the dealer swap the tires immediately at delivery and have no experience with the OEM tires.

Thankfully, I haven’t had to engage in heavy braking yet so I can’t report on the stopping distance in an extreme situation. That being said, I have had to moderately brake a couple times from freeway speeds (70mph+) and in those instances the vehicle felt extremely stable and the stopping distance seemed very reasonable for a vehicle of that size.

Sorry I don’t have a more direct comparison.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I’ve had C Load KO2 in the past …. Great tire but in the rain not that great… but a great tire none the less

how long did the stock OT tires last?

how long did the stock OT tires last?

My stock Toyos on my OT+ lasted to about 23,000 miles before I was told I needed new ones. I held out until 27k, but definitely wasn’t a good idea to do so. As I posted earlier, I went with BFG KO3s. I’m approaching 3K miles on those and couldn’t be happier. My mpgs are now at 16.9 avg.

Good to hear the stocks lasted at least 20k+. Does that mean KO3 is giving you more mpg?

Definitely not. Down from 17-18mpgs and dropping. But I expected that from my research. And, IMO, 23k from any tire is totally unacceptable.

 

[BoostedGX]

Almost seems like they made that oem tire a bit soft so the truck is not loud and rides plush

 

[rangertrace]

What about the Falken Wildpeak A4TW?

Mine have been amazing. Just finished a nearly 3k trip to Durgano, Moab and back. The tires performed VERY well in all conditions.

I had my OEM Toyos on until nails punctured both rear tires simultaneously at about 20k miles. I had a lot more tread available which was maddening. My guess is that I could have run another 15-20k without the nail problem. Ultimately I decided to put new OEM's back on all four. But I am interested in what options are available in the future...at this point I'm looking at BFG KO3 and the Wildpeak AT3 or AT4....always looking to learn from other's experiences. Tiretrack.com is very helpful too.

I replaced the stock Toyos with BFG KO3s, stock size. Very happy so far. Avg mpgs down a bit to 16.9. Was at 17.5-18 combined on the Toyos.

Stock size KO3. Have 11,000 miles on a 5 tire rotation. Love the tires, Quieter than previous KO2s on my 4Runner. Now if I can just get Discount Tire to stop screwing up stuff every trip to their shop.

What did they screw up

What did they screw up

I'll give you just the highlights... cut bead in half when removing OEM tire, (replaced tire), wrong rotation (I now mark my tires), gouged outside of wheel when removing OEMs (repaired wheel), gouged outside of wheel AGAIN at 10k rotation (replaced wheel).. Work done at two different shops. Been using these guys for over 25 years and there has been a serious decline in quality of service the past couple years
