Hey! Please take a moment to like and subscribe :) Thank you! The Vagabond Nomad is on orderrrr!

these and the Kenda Klever RT's are on my short list for my 4Runner build. Great real world review of these! These may actually be perfect for a daily driver, even more so than the Klever RT. I just can't do KO2's anymore with the quality issues and horrible wet traction on the last few sets of the BFG's. The RAZR MT's are SURPRISINGLY quiet on road too!

Your rig looks sharp! I've tried many tire brands, once I got my set of Maxxis MT's, not going back to the other tire companies...

Just got a set of theses 12-50-20 35 inch and they are super quiet

Hi, did you take any highway decibel measurements? I’m in Australia and looking at buying a set for 80% highway and 20% off road usage. Any thoughts.

I have not heard of the Predator's. I have heard good things about the ATX though!

I've run toyo's for a while (all 35s) rt/mt and I've gotten really good mileage out of them minus this last set (I ran over a deer) I've had non stop problems keeping tires on(less then 6k miles) never heard or seen these tires but they do look really good!

They are a section mold tire instead of a clamshell mold. Better for balancing..

Their site says 36.5... Do they all run small? I'm looking at 295/65-20 but want a true 35"

Yes they run small

Great review. Tire size is measured by the manufacturer of a fully aired up tire mounted on a wheel with zero load. You measured yours close to half psi with already some tire wear. Maxxis tires are actually know to be closer to true tire size than many other tires…

@@socalexpeditions yeah that is pretty normal. 36-36.5” is what the majority of 37” tires measure our to when new. They look good on your truck to me.

Torn between these, BFG KM3s, Yokohama XATs and Cooper STT Pros. Currently on BFG AT KO2s that have been quite decent.

Well the KM3’s and STT Pros aren’t quiet tires at all. The Maxxis will be the most quiet out of them. Also the same tread depth as the KO2. If I were picking between all those options I’d give the Yoko’s a try. Deeper tread depth so they should last longer and some good reviews on them.

Some tires are more true to size. For instance, a Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 37x12.50r17 will measure in the 36.5-36.6" size while mounted, while a KO2 will come in at 35.7-35.9". Both those tires you mentioned run small in general.

Once you mount the tires, the weight of the truck compresses down and they lose an inch or so. You’re torn over this it seems, but trust me it’s gonna happen all across the board.
