Just saw on Tire Rack that the Goodyear All Terrain Adventure tire now comes in a load range C (6 ply?) for the stock 275/65r18 tire size. This is exactly what I have been waiting for. I wanted something tougher than my stock P rated tire, but the load range E (10 ply) were far too heavy at 52 lbs.

The new load range C tire is only 48 lbs, just 9 lbs more than the SRAs. Now I just need to find an excuse to get rid of my stock SRAs with only 15k miles. Decisions...

I saw those too. Keep us updated if you get them.

Another LT275/65R18C alternative is Toyo Open Country AT2.
Choose either Toyo P/N 352500 (BSW) or P/N 352510 (ROWL).

Shown are the former on my truck...
(BTW, I ditched my SRA's at 600 miles)

I've been considering those. How do you like them?

Honestly, I've been a fan of BFG AT kos having had them on my jeep years ago before switching to GY MT/R as more trail worthy. Also had 2 sets of same BFGs on my former Nissan Frontier in OEM size LT265/75R16 with the 1st set being D-load and the 2nd being E-load (D-load discontinued). Those 10-ply E-load were stiff suckers on the hwy which transmitted vibes to the steering wheel and (IMO) overkill for weight and duty of that Frontier. Although F150 is heavier, I wasn't anxious to repeat results of E-load, thus my search for alternatives in FX4 OEM size.

OK then, a couple guys in my jeep club run Toyo OC AT2 on their trail rigs (Wrangler Rubicon) with great results in spite of hitting rugged terrain every week here in Rim Country. So, I checked Toyo's online catalog (linked above) for sizes and was delighted to find C-load in 2 sidewall types. Nope, no "Extreme" version in that size if that matters.

I only have prox 1200 miles on 'em but I'm very satisfied. Very smooth and quiet on the highway. Haven't been far off pavement but no reason to think they won't work as well on my truck as on my jeep bud's rigs while providing good rain/snow traction (hoping for a wet winter)...

A buddy of mine has these on his truck, they say they are awesome in the snow.


I will report back as we should be getting snow next week.

How heavy are those C load Toyos?

DirtDawg

^^ Per Toyo's spec page (linked above), C-load weight is shown as 53 & 50 lbs respectively.
Seems likely 53 is a typo with 50 being correct for C-load since same size in E-load is 53 lbs.

Looking forward to your take. Thanks for all

I have had these on my 2013 for almost a year. And 14,000 miles. They are quiet and handle snow great. I did loose some fuel mileage compared to the SRA's but not much.

I live in the mountains (it is snowing now) where we get 150-200" of snow a year, so I get the chance to drive everyday for months in the cold and snow. Our driveway is steep and shaded so ice is a problem, I did not have to chain up once last winter to get out of my driveway.

In past seasons I have had a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with BFG MT tires and have had to chain up several times to get up with the ice. Different vehicle and different years, but so far I have been pleased with the Goodyear a/t Adventure.
Cheers,
