rideadeuce Posted May 26 Posted May 26 New tires after 6 years with the Michelins. They performed well just had some very small cracks starting to form on the side wall. Changed the TPMS batteries while I was at it. 8 - Mike Brentwood, TN - 2018 Elite II - Spirit of Adventure Hull #308 - 2016 Toyota Tundra Limited 5.7L Class IV hitch with 12k lb coupler, Starlink, Cradlepoint cellular modem, Victron Multiplus II 12V 3000W, Ekrano display, Orion XS 50amp, Atmos 4.4 15k AC/12K Heat pump, Nova Kool 5810 fridge, Epoch 460aH x2, 520 watts solar, Custom rear bicycle rack, Alcan Springs, Bulldog shocks, Falken H/T02 tires
jd1923 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 I know Wildpeak tires are a favorite brand of the 4Runner/GX offroad crowd. Would not have thought of them for LT trailer tires on the Oliver. The tread has a solid rib pattern for towing though - Nice! 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
QuestionMark Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Did the same thing a few weeks back. Will miss having the original Michelin Defenders as they were not really showing much wear after 50k+ miles. I went with a set of Bridgestone Dullers as Defenders not being produced any more. 4 2 2020 F250 Lariat Supercrew 6.7 Diesel 4x4 2020 Oliver Legacy Elite I * Hull #664 (April 2, 2022 Incident) 2017 Oliver Legacy Elite II * Hull #293 (Purchased Used April 16, 2022) Located SE Texas Region

Having had my Tundra long enough to use two sets of Michelins and now a second set of Falken Wildpeak A/T tires I have become a big fan of the Falkens Wildpeaks. They are not loud, good traction, and last almost as long as the Michelins. When having had to plug for a screw/nail, no comparison in how difficult it is to get a plug in (thought I was going to have to get the drill out!) The Falken's are incredibly tough. The Wildpeak line has an all season road tire all the way to A/T, M/T and R/T. 5 - Mike Brentwood, TN - 2018 Elite II - Spirit of Adventure Hull #308 - 2016 Toyota Tundra Limited 5.7L Class IV hitch with 12k lb coupler, Starlink, Cradlepoint cellular modem, Victron Multiplus II 12V 3000W, Ekrano display, Orion XS 50amp, Atmos 4.4 15k AC/12K Heat pump, Nova Kool 5810 fridge, Epoch 460aH x2, 520 watts solar, Custom rear bicycle rack, Alcan Springs, Bulldog shocks, Falken H/T02 tires

We're running Defenders on the Tundra with 20k miles on them and still looking great. It's too bad they've been discontinued. 1 Art, Diane, Magnus & Oscar (double-Aaarrf!) 2022 TUNDRA 2017 LE II; Hull #226 "Casablanca" HAM call-sign: W0ABX
