Hybrids with 235/65R17: Impressions?

[SeanBonham]

10/32 tire tread brand new is why. That's pretty lame when most decent ATs are at least 12/32nds. No 3PMSF rating either.

Are you running Outpost ATPs on your hybrid? That is the other tire I have considered. How are the MPGs?

I have Rotiiva ATs on mine. There were a few other users with the Outpost APTs, though.

Thanks for the heads-up. I believe the Toyo 235/65R17’s weigh 32 lbs. The Falken Wildpeaks in that size are 31 lbs. I *think* that the stock 225 Continentals weigh 26 lbs. Definitely a step up in weight, but I’m pretty sure it’s one of the lightest options.
Does anyone know of an AT tire that’s lighter than the Toyos or Falkens?

I believe that Tire Rack shows the Firestone Destination AT2 in 235/65r17 to weigh in at 28 lbs. If I actually get a MY23, I was considering going that route. Would love you see some pics of them in that size on a Maverick.

The highly-praised Wildpeak A/T Trail 225s are 11/32” and weigh 25% more than the Crosstrack ATRs.

I’ll give them a try on my Hybrid...

Neither of those bother me much. I’m a 99% pavement driver, few adventures on the weekends. No real snow here either.

Let us know your impressions, I’ll give them a try this Fall on my Hybrid....

Those are standard touring tires, my experience is that Hankooks are some of the worst.....

Most tires are in the worst category, I believe the front wheel drive causes excessive wear due to uneven weight distribution. I have to rotate my tires on my crv every 4-5k miles or I will get excessive tire noise at around 6k. I saw the UTQG of 860 A A and 11+/32 tread depth and maybe going to 235's might satisfy All Terrain status along with being 24-26lbs. They probably would have to be rotated often, I suspect. I have 5500 miles on my lariat which has the OEM Michelin 8-9/32" tread. So it's time to check tire wear on it!

Just checked those out—they look PERFECT! You may have just changed my mind.

Wow I have added those to my list when I get new tires. 28lbs and 3 peak!

I'm going to order continental crosscontact atr in 225/65 today. They come in at 25lbs. ZERO info out there about them. I'll be the guinea pig i guess. Lightest AT I've found.

Post some pictures of them when you get them on!

 

[Bobinmi]

Any side view of the entire truck with the 235's installed? thanks!

Well in a turn of events I went Nokian Outpost APT 225/65/17. In the end they were about $150 less and seem to have good reviews. Not mounted yet.
