Recommendations for Best All Season Tire replacement for 2019 Tacoma SR5

Recommendations for a good All Season Tire for 2019 Tacoma SR5 245/75/16.

 

Are you sure you want a 225, or did you mean 245 (stock). Either way, Michelin Defenders are an outstanding all season tire. Ride great, excellent rain/ice/light snow traction, and they last a long time.

 

What general part of the country are you in? Snow mountain driving??

 

Michelin is the way to go. Put these on my Sr5 last August.

 

I live in Upstate NY (Rochester ) yes snow and rain. Will be traveling cross country to AZ a few time and Florida. So it will be highway driving. I want to feel SAFE!!

I corrected size - oops 245/75/16

 

Not using it offroad? Try Nokian tires.

 

The Michelin are a solid recommendation. I say avoid Firestone, stick with the top names and you will be fine.

 

Michelins for sure if you have the money to spend and plan on keeping the truck for a long time. They last forever and will ride smoother than anything else out there. BFGs if you are looking for something more aggressive.

 

Love my Duratracs.

They come with the 3 peak snow designation. Now I don't have to switch over tires twice a year.

 

The Goodyear Wranglers that Toyota puts on the OR models are known to be very long lasting, puncture resistant, and provide a great/safe drive all year round.

 

Michelin will be your best bet all-around. Have you considered going to a 265 like all of the TRD models?

 

I have been running BFG All Terrain TAs on my truck and 4Runner for years. I find them perfect for Alaska driving conditions, without being overly loud on the pavement at highway speeds. They do surprisingly well on ice as well as snow.

 

I have gained some serious respect for BFG lately.

 

I have Michelin Defender LTX/MS 265/70/16 tires on my SR5 (stock rims). They are the same size (diameter and circumference) as stock but about an inch wider. This is the same size tire that comes on the TRD Off Road from the factory. They look a lot 'meatier' but do not affect your speedo.
Also, I get about the same gas mileage as the stock firestones in city driving and a little better on the highway.

i have SR5 as you do- tire size is 245/75/16. why did you go with difference size?

 

I recommend BFG TA/KO-2 for combo serious offroading and towing highway, or if mainly road use and light offroad plus towing, Michelin LTX AT-2, both tires give great long lasting performance,

 

Wait, you don't want 35" mudders? WTF is wrong with you.

 

Cooper AT3 4S’s. They’ll do great

 

I have the duratracs now they started out great in the first snow season but have worn down pretty fast and their overall performance degrades significantly as they wear. With 50% tread you get the same traction on the snow and ice with any other tire I will be going with something else next round.

 

This is a major downfall of a lot of tires these days is they just don't last we have experienced this on our CRV. My Tacoma BFG TA/KO's are six yrs old now and over 60,000 miles on them with 6/32 left, I am going to change soon due to age though sidewalls are fine still no cracks. The LTX AT-2's I got similar on road performance, with some trailer towing for yrs, and 65,000 miles on them when I changed out with about 4/32 tread left. I think it pays to buy upper end tires due to tread wear.
