Toyo AT vs AT2?

[John@Outlaw_Diesel]

Does anyone know the difference between them? Local tire shop has Toyo AT for $1070 out the door for 305/50/20. They could also get AT2, but I forget the price difference. Is that a good price or does anyone know of a better deal on a set of goodn AT in 305/50/20. One plus about the Toyo is that they little higher load rating from what I have seen.

I got quoted like $1270 mounted and balanced in the same size AT/II, but I have to wait 6-8 weeks. I'm thinking about canceling and either going with Terra Grapplers or 420s because the old Toyo AT's I'm currently running suck in the rain and also show signs of dry rot. That's not uncommon for that tire I might add.

If there is no wait time, I would go with the AT/II.

Slight tread and sidewall design changes are all I noticed.

there are also different sizes offered in the AT then in the AT2. I know you cant get some of the old sizes in the new tire. I would agree that they get bad traction in the rain, and I felt mine wore a bit faster than normal. nitto trails/terra's all the way.

my dads toyo AT1's were pretty nice.. really susceptible to dryrot tho

 

[John@Outlaw_Diesel]

Would dry rot not be covered under the manufacture warranty?

 

[John@Outlaw_Diesel]

Well people looking for Nitto 420's, Walmart has them for $183 a tire in 305/50/20. I am strongly thinking about them also. Just worried about tread life.

for the price you can buy two sets for the price of one, lol.


Sent looking at my blown up 6.4

 

[John@Outlaw_Diesel]

It's very tempting, but this tire shop said they would take sensor off of old rims and put them on the new rims for free.

Is there a way to delete the tire pressure sensor? The light on the dash would annoy the hell out of me if it was on.

 

[powerstrokin15]

6.4 or 6.7? you get used to it.

If your running a Minimaxx on a 6.4 yeah.

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

You can also change the valve stems.

 

[Derek@Vision Diesel]

Mini Maxx= Light gone

Several guys on our tech support forum have claimed that they went to Discount Tire and had the valve stems replaced. No more light. I've never had to worry about it because I have a Job 1 2008. My truck didn't come with TPMS.

Why not replace wheels and tires to what your personal preference is and just buy new sensors for the new wheels. I had sensors put in my aftermarket wheels with 35x12.5x20 rubber for if I recall right around $150 at discount tire. I got tired of the light so I called discount and was quoted that price so I quickly drove over and had them installed. That was like 2yrs ago.

Yea it took me a about a month to not notice it.

Not all trucks are valve stem tpms. Mine is actually the band style, and I was told if you had bands, you need bands. If you had stems, then you need stems. I have a spare set of bands in my center console for when I get some new rims.

 

[John@Outlaw_Diesel]

You want to sell them. lol

I have the at 2 and have put 4000 miles on them. Like them so far. I can't really complain about traction. Hook better then the discoverer s/t I have on my obs in the rain and way better then the old at's I ran. Can't remember the brand.

Look at the manufacturer date on the tire, when I worked at Les Schwab which is directly supplied by toyo, I hardly saw dry rotted open country's unless they were around 10 years old.

I have the AT 2's and love em!
