Best "All Around" Tires for CT

[Dogger37]

I found one website. Summitracing.com it looked like they said they would ship by December 22nd. Figure more places will have them in stock around then. Hoping the weather holds since they were able to patch my tire last night.

Did you call tire rack?

Yeah. I was told either a nationwide backorder or it was discontinued. I can't recall which. I called so many places and got those responses. I played around with Grok. Seems like our tire size is not that popular and so rollout of their new tire in our size just hasn't happened yet. They have plenty of other sizes available if you search. Grok thought maybe in the next 90 days we'd see them in our size.

After 30k miles the Good years were done. Blew through those. I installed the BFGs AT KO3s where I started with 11mm tread depth and after 20k miles I'm at 10mm. Wow! Amazed at how these tires are handeling the abuse. They are guaranteed for 55-75K miles and will pay me per mile if they dont' reach 55k miles. America's Tire is where I purchased these. Off road, does way better than the Good Years. I'm also using the same KWH, 415 average at 65psi.

Good to know similar energy consumption as the stock AT tires. I have the BFG KO3s on my dad's ICE truck and really like them for interstate, gravel roads, and light snow. Actually using less liquefied dinosaur swamp muck aka gasoline on the BFG KO3s compared to previous AT tires. My three top choices for Cybertruck tires doing most of my driving in Colorado are BFG KO3s, Bridgestone Dueler Ascent ($200 off on Tirerack if using TR credit card by 12/3/2025), or Pirelli XTM.

Good choices.

So a lot of people recommend the Michelin platinum ltx too, are those more road biased and not useful for light off-roading?

The stock ATs are very good. I keep them at 57-60 psi as I do a lot of highway driving. I’m off-roading frequently out of necessity and traction is good even at this high a tire pressure.

I’m at 22,000 miles with plenty of tread left. The tires get rotated every 6,000-8,000 miles which I think helps.

I thought the Michelins looked best for quiet ride, but without the 3PMSF rating they probably wouldn’t be great in snow. Otherwise I think that would be my choice too.

A lot of tires that don't have the 3PMSF rating would qualify for it, the manufacturer just decides to not get them rated 3PMSF, either because they want to steer people to high margin tires or they don't want to spend the money to get that particular tire certified.

And it's really easy to get a 3PMSF rating, I've driven plenty that were terrible in the snow. All this is just another way of saying you can pretty much ignore whether a tire has the 3PMSF symbol or not, as it's not a reliable indicator of much of anything (beyond legal considerations).

Honestly, that's the truck doing the talking, Tesla in general have very good snow performance due to the way they engineer and tune their traction control and their good weight distribution. But just because the vehicle gets along well with snow with the OEM tires doesn't mean the legit snow and ice performance is due to the tires.

I just did the same thing last week to upgrade to “real” truck tires that are E-rated - necessary to max out the truck’s towing capacity - threw away Pirelli Scorpions that still looked new after 9,500 miles, but it’s all about safety and towing specs in my world… the Plats ride very well and are quieter right out of the wrapper. You should like them.

An E rated tire is definitely not necessary on any Cybertruck to get the full GVWR or full tow rating. The Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT tires Tesla equips as OEM on some Cybertrucks are rated for the max load and max towing (and they are rated "D" load range). I have those as well as the Goodyear Duratrac's (which are "E" load range), but either will work fine for heavy towing/heavy loads with margin to spare (both on the front and the rear). Many E load range tires don't have the speed rating required for extended high speed driving for the Cybertruck's full capabilities (if you like to drive fast when not towing).

Dropped the Tesla ATs quickly just because it would require a 4.5 hour round trip just to get them installed.

Pretty much any tire shop can sell and install the Goodyear AT Territory (or Duratrac) tires Tesla equips Cybertrucks with. They are not a Tesla only tire (even if they are specifically tuned for the Cybertruck). Tire Rack (for one) sells them and will ship them to whatever tire shop you want to use.

What you ar emissing is that the Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires are have a higher weight capacity than the Scorpion tires on the AWD, which comes with the "D" rated Scorpions. Every other version (not CT) of the Wrangler Territory in the same size is rated E. Tesla's specific version for the CB is down-rated for weight and gains a higher speed rating by 6 mph (118 vs 112). No one drives a CT at those speeds. However, replacing the Scorpions with a higher rated tire does not change anything about the official vehicle weight ratings, so those of us with AWD CTs have a lower weight spec by hundreds of pounds. When we choose to upgrade anyway (my boat rig is over 10,000 pounds). we do so to gain a margin of actual safety, not to change the ratings.

Interesting. Good to know, but I think I'm just too stupid to find more info. I've tried googling like 10 different things and can't seem to find a link to any retailer that sells them so I can look at them more. Can you help me out?

Also, FWIW, I talked to my local Costco yesterday and they said they can't do Cybertrucks because they don't have the right lifts Seems odd since I've heard so many other people getting new tires put on there.
