Hybrid Tires? What are you running?

[cgflyer]

I just spoke to the tire guy about the BFGKO2 tires he told me that the general grabber ATX is the same tire he can’t even tell them apart and they’re a lot less expensive anybody wanna weigh in on that they look similar

Similar but look closer at the lug pattern

Tread design is similar, if he can't tell them apart you need a new tire guy or he needs some glasses. No they are not the same tire.

I ran a set on my Ram 2500 6.4l 4x4, they were smooth, quiet and got 50k miles with 4/32" remaining. They however were hard to roll and clipped me for about 1.5mpg.

Although the Milestar Patagonia is classified as an M/T tire, I think it is more of an aggressive leaning hybrid. I am running them in 37s and they seem to be great so far, not loud at all on the highway/street and seemed to do ok in the snow and ice earlier this week. The center is more of an AT type tread with the outer edges being more aggressive MT style lugs. I think their intention is to be a more "crowned" tire that uses the center 2/3 of the tire for quiet daily driving and then you can air down on the trails to take full advantage of the MT lugs to the outside. I am running full tire pressure (35-37) lbs of air and have zero harshness issues on the 37s like I had running anything above 28-30 on the normal MT tires I've run in the past. You cant go wrong with the Patagonia pricing either, my 37 were $244 per tire.

You still like the Pats?

I run Federal Xplora RT, they are quiet on road and have been great off road. Good in dirt, mud and rain. They balance good, 3 used 3-4 oz and one was more like 6-7, can’t really tell while driving even at highway speed. There isn’t much rocks or snow in South Texas so I can’t comment on that. But they look great and I got the for about $175 each.

So what makes a tire loud? My old km2 howled from the beginning. But their tread blocks especially large. The void weren’t either. My Kelly spring field safaris started out quiet bu by 10 k they were getting loud. My really old falken had a deceptively mild tread. But were great in the snow and light mud and quiet. The BFG ko early version were pretty loud after a while. So what do you think?

Got them put on. Toyo RT 35x12.50. Love them so far. Super quiet and ride as well maybe better than the factory Falken AT3W.

How does everyone feel about Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs? I never see them mentioned but online reviews are pretty good. My dad has had a few sets of these over the years on his Durangos and seems to love them.

I'm heavily considering them in either 295/70r18 or 285/75r18 when I cross that bridge. They are aggressive looking, have gone 50k+ miles for my dad each time, and haven't been too noisy when I ride with him.

I assume they are a hybrid. I never can seem to find how they are classified when searching online.

Duratracs are great tires. They probably started the “hybrid” classification in all honesty. While I haven’t personally ran them as I’m not a fan of their appearance, several friends have with great reviews. They do great in just about everything besides heavy mud where they perform solid still. Lots of Jeep guys I ran with up in NY/PA run them year Round due to their performance in snow. Don’t think you can go wrong with them if you’re happy with their looks

I ran Venom Power hybrids on my F150 and loved them. I'll likely run them on my JT also.

Yeah, only been on for a month or so but they are quiet and comfortable on the highway. They did ok in the icy weather the other day too. I have not been Offroad at all because the lift just went on and I finally won’t tear up the fenders now.

My buddy runs these on his Tahoe and he loves them but complains about them being a bit loud on the highway.

Love my Pat's and have a set of 37's being mounted on Saturday

I agree w/ @Andrew05LJR. I had a set of Duratracs on my previous truck and they worked great everywhere and in all weather. My only complaint was that after 20K miles or so they started cupping and were loud at certain speeds. Those tires had 34K miles on them when I traded the truck in on my Gladiator and they still had another 1/3 or more of the tread left. If I could survive the noise, they would have gone 40K, maybe 45 or 50K even. I'll take that all day long out of a performance oriented tire.

The Nitto Ridge Grappler is a very popular Hybrid tire that does well. It's not a mud tire so it depends on your needs. If we can help please let us know.

What is your take on the Nitto's vs the Venom Terra Hunter XT's ?

Sorry we don't carry Venom tires so we don't have test data to compare them against one another.
