Toyo ATlll or Nitto grapplers ?

[Jack27]

I’ve picked the wheels and now trying to chose the tires and make the purchase today . I’m going 295/55/22
So I’ve seen a few with the Nitto ridge grapplers on beee. But does anyone have any photos with the Toyo at3? Truthful this is all about the sidewall for me. I’m
Not sure if the Nitto is a little to aggressive or is the Toyo not aggressive enough ? I def want it to look like a big bad A… machine more then a car but also not to cray. What’s your opinions of both looks of these tires ?

Ditto on the Nitto!
looks great, only thing I wonder is about noise and mileage.

Yeah I do like the BFG KO but I think less then the other 2

I've never run toyos, but I personally didn't like my nittos on a jeep. Just a personal preference thing, they didn't do as well on road as I'd like from an AT. Hydroplaning was a regular thing, and if it snows you're really screwed on road?

But that was 10 years ago and only one set on a very light vehicle. So don't let that scare you off!! Many people swear by them--just putting my drop in the proverbial bucket

IMHO, not the best option for a "snow tire" package. Certainly not what I would go with for snow tires at all but to each their own. To me, that's just false advertising. I know they have the mountain snowflake symbol, but I have heard of lots of people that weren't happy with that tire in severe winter conditions, so in my mind it would never be a tire I would choose as a winter tire package deal if I actually needed a truck to plow through deep snow, icy roads, or sleet, or the proverbial New England 10" of perfect powder overnight followed by rain in the morning that turns it all to ice as well as my favorite: rain and slush OVER ice. I live on the West Coast now but racked up many years driving in MA, VT, NY, NH, PA, OH, WV... wouldn't trust those to keep me on those roads in winter at all.

My two cents, FWIW. YMMV. Stay safe people. As they say: Winter is coming.

Cheers

Well I went with the Toyo AT3 so hopefully it looks good. ??

@XCeilidhX I agree that for driving in the snow and cold temperatures, nothing beats a winter-specific tire compound. I run Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV on my Model Y. Pretty much every car I've owned is equipped with snow tires in the winter.

At this point for the Cybertruck there is no 100% fit snow tire, as we know. The Blizzak LT and Nokian LT are 0.5 inches less diameter. Not that significant, but not a 100% match.

As a Colorado mountain driver, driving a heavy EV my main focus is on stopping traction. (1) Tire compound and then (2) tread pattern--openness--matter.

For $3k the Tesla option looks good for more difficult off-roading. And light, dry snow.

Are you allowed to post things for sale on this thing? Now that my tires are getting put on Wednesday I will have a brand new with only 100 miles on them or less stock AT that came on it I want to sale . Possibly the wheels with them

It's so funny to me that most people I talk to about winter tires seem to have never heard of Nokian Hakkapeliittas, but the people who REALLY drive in snow always say they are their first choice. Mine as well so you now have street cred with me with your snow tire wisdom, brother/sister/other from another mother.

Rumor has it we will be getting the LT3 version in the right size in the not too distant future for the stock wheels but who knows.

Agree with your assessment entirely.

Note tires are difficult to cost-effectively ship. However rims are easily shipped FedEx - UPS. Well...at least 18 inch rims are. I have not priced out 20 inch rims.

Awesome thank you, yeah I see allot of cyber truck tires and wheels for sale on offer up local here in Los Angeles. I always wonder who’s buying the wheels when everyone who owns one right now has the wheels already ? but they seem to be asking like 2k for the entire set wheels and rims. I’d be happy to get less just so I don’t have to store them lol

Nittos are also referred to as Shittos. They look badass but no warranty and they are noisy. I own a set on my Jeep. You are gonna get another vote for BFG KO3s from me.

What’s funny is Nitto is a branch of Toyo from all I read so I don’t understand why they wouldn’t have the same rep for warranty but yes I’ve heard the same as you said. I went down today to 4 wheel parts and put the Nitto the Toyo and bfg in a row I settled on the Toyo. I had 2 sets on my 2500 and I have a set of RT on my 73 bronco. I owned BFG MTs a long long time ago and liked them also. I didn’t particularly not like the BFGs I just kind of for some reason dismissed them. I’m in Los Angeles and maybe go 4x4 in big bear or Joshua tree off road a bit 1 or 2 times a year. Don’t need snow tires or weather tires so it kind of just boiled down to looks for me and sidewall appearance and of course noise and smoothness coming to stops . I didn’t want anything to crazy aggressive and I kind of wondered if I thought the Nitto was that and I didn’t want anything too car like so I think the Toyo will look good. I might of went with the RT but my wife was done with me saying they all look the same ?
