My Tacoma's OE Hankook Dynapro H/T are still at 9-10/32nd tread. They absolutely suck in snow and grass but work perfectly the other 3 seasons.
I brought a cheap set of used Nitto Terra Grapplers 7-8/32nd mounted on 17" wheels. OE 245/75/16 and Nitto 265/70/17. Frankly the 265/70 is too big for my 2.7 and makes the truck drive like crap. Snow traction is the only redeeming factor.
I can either sell the Nitto set now when there's still decent tread left, and replace the hankooks with an AT/AP set up.
Are H/T tires even slightly more efficient compared to AT/AP tires? I know it's a truck but I will take whatever. The only time my tires leave pavement is when I'm on a lawn or a service trail. That being said snow traction is a must...also to not get stuck on my lawn. Mastercraft AP tires don't seem to be rated as well as Cooper AT3 in snow/mud. Is it worth the trade off going with AP over AT?
My other option is to just run the nittos til next November and replace them with a dedicated snow tire. Saving my Hankooks for the summer. The only reason I want to even run an H/T is for lower rolling resistance and more efficiency. Noise and ride quality don't really matter to me.
