Pirelli XTM AT 285/70r17 E tires on Ranger Raptor

[Pic-N-Stick]

For daily driving the AT4W is available in the SL load range that's super lightweight at 53lbs.

I wouldn't call 53+ pounds super lightweight! The Firestone Destination A/T 2 in p285/70R17 s 41 pounds!

Tire Rack is saying 53lb for the 285/70R17. I hope that the AI is wrong, since I just bought 4 of them on Saturday due to the weight. Since I know the wheel weighs 26lb, I guess I need to take one off and weight it to know for sure. Either way, they are dramatically better than the stock tires for driving on the road. Actually feels like the truck is on the road instead of floating on it.

Maybe in this case AI stands for "Artificially Inflated!" LOL!!

Just installed these today on stock non beadlocks and feel no difference in compliance between these and the KO3. I can’t comment on performance yet.

Check out the Firestone Destination A/T 2. It's listed as an off-road A/T tire but did really well against the Penza and TerrainContact head-to-head on the road for comfort, noise, wet and dry in Tire Rack's test. It also was much better off-road with the more aggressive tread. The 285/70R17 weighs only 41 pounds! I think the KO3's that came on our Raptors are 56, so that's 60 less pounds! Also, it has a low rolling resistance compared to other A/T tires. Should be better milage and quicker. Thoughts??

IMHO I’d look for a more recent test to reference when forming my opinion; most of those tires tested are probably a generation or so out of date and that really matters.

AI = Artificial Idiocy

That seems to fall inline with the reviews I posted on driving impressions, despite being E rated they were pretty close to the KO3s

Also note that some tires can have multiple load ratings for literally the same tire carcas and be sold as different rated tire in different countries lol.

Yeah, I know that was an older test. In their 2024 test with some of the newer offerings, including the KO3 and Wildpeak A/T4w, the Penza AT outperformed them on the dry track, wet track and the subjective road test. Since the Firestone and Continental tested better than the Penza, I was assuming both would have done better than the newer tires tested. Just looking at all options!
