On-Road Focused 315/70R17 Tires to Replace Stock Goodyears?

[NaMinesClarence]

I have 50k miles on my stock Goodyear tires, and even though they still have plenty of life left, they are getting louder than I like. Commuting comfort and snow performance are top considerations for new tires. I would like to ideally be within 10 lbs or less of additional weight per tire than the stock Goodyears.

Do you want to stick to 315/70/17?

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3.

They last forever (I ran them on a diesel F250 that towed cross country and currently have them on an Expedition in size 315/70r17 on Raptor wheels), get great traction on wet/dry/snow/sand, and run silent on the road. I swear by them.

Yeah... that's an important question.

315/70R17 tires are very much an "off-roaders" tire size, so if you are prioritizing on-road comfort you'll have FAR more options if you move down to a smaller tire.

But if you are sticking with 315/70R17, the first tire that came to mind is the Yokohama Geolandar. Falken Wildpeak A/T3W would be another good option if you can still find a set (they're now discontinued). Or if you want to go full winter tire mode... Nokian Hakkapeliitta.

If you're okay with slightly less snow performance, Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3.

Still working on the "comfort" part... but I think I have the deep snow performance aspect nailed:

Let me keep looking... comfort may be a tad bit missed on this choice.

What are the other options? 285?

285/75/17 is a skinnier 34.

285/70/17 is the most popular size for 4x4s. It's a 33, so will be smaller than your stock tires.

Yeah, thats why I am asking. I wouldn't mind a 35x11.5 (as the stock Goodyears are narrow boys) but those are also more off-road focused generally.

Nokian, Toyo, Nitto, and Yokohama currently have my attention. Dueler AT Revos are a little heavy, are they not?

Yokohama Geolanders A/Ts are very smooth on the road. Have the most car like driving feel.

Toyo ATIII suck in the wet. I have them on my Ranger.

285/75.17 is only .3" shorter than a 315/70/17 Yoko and the factory Goodyear, but about an inch narrower, which will improve gas mileage and reduce road noise.

Nevermind the Dueler AT Revo 3 isn't that heavy, looks to be a closeout tire on Tire Rack. That worries me in the event I need to replace one.

TireRack close outs 9/10 is just a batch of date codes, not the tire itself being discontinued.

Those tires are pretty bad fyi.

Aw come on... everyone knows if you want comfort you go with the Super Swampers!

K03's are out but only load range F in a 315, big woof. Hmmmm

The 315 has made it to the top of my list! Thanks!

They are slowly rolling out all the way through next year.
