Second tire on the Taco that can’t be fixed, plus I’m at 40K for the set means it is most likely time for a replacement set. Two at 40K, one at 20K and 1 brand new doesn’t seem like the best idea.

Looking at these. I like quiet tires. I’m not sure how quiet they are.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Seem to be not overly aggress ive tread pattern. I’d like a mild off-road tread. I don’t need Bridgestone T/A KO2. They seem to be the default. I drive on the roads but need a little something for when it snows in the mountains.

Anyone have experience with these or any recommendations?

For your time.

I had those on a Suburban, I thought they were quite good. Very quiet, good ride and decent off road. I drove the truck extensively on dirt roads and forest service dirt roads, never got a flat and they wore very well. Also had several times driving in snow and mud, never had an issue. Of coarse the suburban was heavy AF so that helps tons but I did like the tires.

True, but I want a quiet tire without any caveats.

My old Taco came with brand new Bridgestone Revo2- They were a nice, quiet, mostly on road, mild A/ T tire. I replaced them with BFG K02- and that’s what I will do again when my current stockers die..

This tire is nice and quiet and should be good enough for offroading like driving on grass or some gravel:

I ran a set of these on my former GMT400 Escalade for six or seven years, and I like them a lot. My parents finally replaced them about a month ago (they bought the truck from me) simply because they were starting to significantly dry rot after six or seven years living outside in the sun and about 30k.

They’re well mannered on pavement, way more capable than they had a right to be on packed snow and ice, and good enough on dirt and sand. I noticed no noise from them.

At the time, they were a new, unknown tire from a brand that more folks were skeptical off back then that I took a chance on for cheap (less than $100/tire in 265/70/16 at Discount). They’ve been fantastic for the price. They’re good regardless of price, but I don’t know that I would automatically choose them today over other tire options in that class now that they’re no longer cheap.

I’ve been very happy with the Bridgestone Deuler AT  Revo2 tires on my truck. These will be the first tires I like enough to buy a second set of.

I have the Hankooks. Love them. Second set. Quiet, good manners, good tread life

This is what I have on the GX.  They are okay in snow traction, pretty great off road, decent quietness and crummy treadlife.

I went with Coopers that were onsale @ NTB. Tires are great, but they borked my alignment.
