How do Discount Tire's Rocky Mountain AT tires perform on a Toyota Tacoma?

How do the Rocky Mountain AT tires from Discount Tire perform on a Toyota Tacoma? Has anyone tried the 265/75R16 in SL class? I’m really interested in getting these tires since I was considering the Toyo Open Country A/T III. The Discount Tire Rocky Mountains are $600 cheaper for all five, including the spare. I’d prefer not to spend $1,500 on tires if I can avoid it

For some context, my truck is my daily driver, and I also use it for road trips to explore dirt roads, ghost towns, and hot springs. I’m not into rock crawling, but some trails can be a bit technical. I go slow and usually follow bigger trucks. I recently watched a video about how good SL tires can be

Right now, I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the stock size, but they wore out unevenly, so I’ve been advised to replace them. It seems like the Rocky Mountains have a similar snow rating to the Toyos, but I can’t find any reviews

Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated

There are some things in life where you shouldn’t cut corners. Tires, toilet paper, mattresses, and condoms are definitely at the top of that list

Can we bring this post back? Has anyone tried these tires and have any insights?

I ended up going with their specialty Duratracs, but I’m still curious about the Rocky Mountains

I’ve had them on my Sierra for about six months. They’ve handled dirt and light slushy snow pretty well. However, today I struggled in my driveway with about six inches of wet, heavy snow while in 4Low. I had to use my wife’s Highlander with AWD to pull some trailers out because it had better traction

How do they handle in the rain?

I’m interested in this too. I used Discount Tire’s “house” brand tires on my old 2WD F150, and I was impressed. The wet traction was better than the Firestone and Goodyear tires I had before, and they wore well

They perform well in the rain because they’re made by Falken

Discount Tire mentioned on the Tacoma World message board that these tires are produced by GT Radial (Giti) in South Carolina. Falken once made a tire called Rocky Mountain, but they discontinued it

Unless you really can’t afford it, I’d always opt for well-reviewed name-brand tires. Tires are just too important to go cheap on

I bought these tires and have about 5,000 miles on them now. I’ve used them on dirt and gravel and even towed a camper for about 500 miles without any issues. The only time I’ve had to add air was after airing down for a beach day, but that was just 5,000 miles in
