Maxxis or Toyo that is the question.

Its tire time! Finally and after much debate I'd decided on size, well kinda.

The two and ONLY tires im considering.

First the Maxxis Razr AT size 285 70 17 p rated(wish they offered c load). They are 3pmsf rated, weigh in at only 43lbs, and are less then $800 shipped

2nd is the Toyo At3 size 34x10.50r17(I know right fucking awesome size) . They are d load which as me a little nervous about ride quality, I guess atleast its not e load. Also toyo I'm told are "soft". Its also 3pmsf rated, weight is 55lbs, price is $1250 shipped. Toyos have mixed reviews, but they have a ton of reviews so its up in the air.

What would you choose?
Maxxis

Toyos

 

Definitely not made in China Maxxis tires. Toyo gets my vote.

 

Toyos. We have the AT3 on ours.

 

Toyos for the win. I love mine.

 

34x10.50r17-
Can you fit 34x10.50r17 without BMC?
Can you fit 34x10.50r17 in stock spare tire location?

This is why I gave up my plan to get this size 34x10.50r17.

Maxxis Razr AT-
I did not find them in major tire shops like Discount tire / Tire rack. So I gave up my plan to go with a tire that is not common / easily available if I had to replace a tire.


Toyo At3 size 34x10.50r17 price is $1250 shipped -
5 tires for 1250 shipped? Or is this price for 4 tires? I would prefer to have matching spare tire and not use a non matching spare tire if I have to drive back home with spare.

 

I vote Toyo's...the AT3 will likely be my next tire after these KO2's wear out.

 

I have a bmc, no issues there's. My spare already has a 285 70 17 on it , it'll work just fine if I ever have to use it.

 

I'm very happy with my Toyo AT3's. Out of the two, I'd buy another set of Toyos. So far, good treadwear, good traction, and pretty quiet. They're one of the best tires I've run.

 

Just got the Toyo’s on in 305’s. Super smooth and quiet right off the bat. My nitto’s got loud as shit towards the end.

 

Why only these two?

 

Oh it started with these all on the maybe list

285 70 17 c rated ridge grappler
285 75 17 c rated toyo at3
315 70 17 c rated goodyear territory
285 70 17 m/t baja boss at p rated
285 70 17 c rated bfg ko2
33 10.50 17 goodyear mtr

 

So what made you go with 305/70/17 rather then 285/75/17?

 

the difference and price is so small, basically flipped a coin.

 

Out of that list, the Mickeys are the only other ones I'd be interested in. But, P-rated might not be ideal depending on your use.

 

They look great! Actually, the whole thing does.
