Overtrail Replacement Tires (1 Viewer)

While I was still on the stock Overtrail suspension and OE wheels, I was using the Nitto TG G3 275/70R18 SL. I put 9500 miles on them.
They were truly outstanding, and quite frankly, blow the Lexus OE-version (AT3 GA) Toyo tires away. I used those OE tires for 2.5 months and that was enough for me.
The Nittos felt more planted, safer at high speeds, steered and cornered better, absorbed bad spots on the road better, etc.
The only reasons I don’t still have them is because I’m sometimes towing a reasonably heavy trailer on dirt roads. So I moved on to an E tire. If I wasn’t towing then I’d still be on those Nittos.
I'm interested in your choice. My OT isn't ready for a new set yet, but I've started thinking about it. These look great from a noise and ride perspective. Other than tread pattern, is there any other meaningful difference (like carcass strength) between an on-road and off-road all-terrain tire in SL for light off roading?

I'm not planning to change suspension or go from the OE wheel for my current use. If I decide to do any serious off-roading in the future, it'll be with another wheel/E-load combo.

It sounds like you’re on the right path (well..the same I chose).
Your possible future intent - if you do decide - would be just like many on the forum: different wheel, a tougher E tire.

Your near term: the exact Nitto tire I described above (model, size, SL, on the stock wheel) worked really well. It was very quiet, handled great on road, I drove a few ‘light’ Moab trails, and I towed on pavement for 3 trips with it.
At the time, it filled the wheel arches on my non-lifted ‘24 OT well and was an excellent compromise. It did reduce the well-known ride vibration issue.. somewhat, but certainly not totally.

Meaningful Difference? assuming both SL, then possibly..slight noise diffs, weight (maybe fuel mileage), and if a tire has the 3PMSF snow rating. Your call.
I believe the Nitto TG G3 SL has a good rep on this forum; I don’t recall any complaints, flats, issues being noted. 😊
