Lightest 285/75/16 AT’s?

Looking for lighter 285’s all terrains for the 3rd gen.

Been shopping around but it looks like I’m not going to get below 55lb for a 285 on a 16 inch wheel

 

for clarification do you want an LT rated tire or would you consider a P-metric?

 

Just looking for an all terrain tread, load rating is less important since I live in the city now and wont be on trails every weekend anymore

 

Look up cooper at3s in a 285/75r16, pretty sure those are under 55lbs

 

You can get cooper at3 xlt load range E at 54lbs. I went that way and love them.

 

Just checked, 54lb
Might as well stick with duratracs at 55 lb they’ve been great for me as 265’s

i know they call the coopers at’s but they look like theyd be pretty slippery on dirt

 

Not my experience with my 285/75/16 Cooper XLTs. I’m in the desert sand with them regularly and they have great grip. Same with on road traction and general road manners, they blow the Wildpeak MTs I had before out of the water.

 

The sidewall isn't very aggressive at all. Could always look at some skinnys in 255s if you wanted to step up in size

 

Check out the xlt version of the at3.

 

285/70/17 is going to have a lot more lighter tire options in the SL-C range. 285/75/16 is going to run E rated basically.

 

I have some Walmart Russian Rotiva all terrains in 285s and they weight 47lbs each. Load range D. Had them about 25k miles. I like them so far

 

Off topic but what size lift are you running?

 

So, this is an interesting topic. I just got a '22 Limited Nightshade which comes with 18" wheels but very blah Michelin tires. In my review of alternate, better grippy rugged tires I got to looking at the tire weight. The OEM Michelins are 35lbs each, but the more popular BF Goodrich and several others are 47 to 50lbs each! Seems like a big difference, 15lbs for each tire! Geez adding 60lbs of new rubber on top of the 140lbs that's already there! Plus, the OEM tires are rated for a longer mileage rating than all these meaning they're likely hard as heck! Seems like Toyota cheaped out on the tires at least on my model, I know they gotta save where they can but just a bit bummed.

 

I just put a deposit down on a '23 Limited Nightshade, expecting to have the same tires as you. I think it just depends on what you plan to do, in my case this is going to be a truck I'll drive 99% on the road commuting to work and so forth, so I'll be glad to have the Michelins. If I was going to do a lot of offroading, then I probably wouldn't get the Limited in the first place.

 

I'm not planning on off-roading much if at all, but the Michelins are a poor choice long term. I can only wait and see but I suspect the OEM issued tires won't last, I hope I'm wrong, but I guess time will tell! What really amazed me was the large weight difference in same sized tires, I would never have thought it would vary that much! Where do they add 20lbs to a tire that is the same size and somehow still have a shorter mileage rating? Makes no sense to me.

 

Why are the Michelin’s poor choice long term?

 

Interesting seeing the weights. I was considering falken at3 in 255/80r17 and they are 52.5 lb. the falken at3 in 285/75r16 is 60 lb.....

Crazy how light the cooper at3 285/75r16 are at 54 lb and made in USA

Do 285/75r16 fit without CMC?

 

I’m loving my 255/80/17 wildpeaks. Took no MPG hit coming from 46 pound C load 265/70/17 KO2s.

It’s a true 33” that requires no cutting or modifications. Im running my stock mudflaps too.

 

I appreciate the pics (I have actually stalked your posts already)
I have to buy 17 inch rims. Plan on using FJ cruiser steelies or 4runner 17s


or



The issue with the steelies is my truck is also MGM and its too much dark on dark. Maybe I spray paint them some color....

 

Can't say these are for sure, but recent past experience for me with Michelin tires on three separate occasions indicates they crack/weather way before the tread wear dictates replacement, so while it sounds like a long running choice, in my experience you never get that kind of mileage on Michelins. Your experience may vary, and I hope mine does to, but I can't imagine it will.
