Sequoia Summer Tire Recommendations

Our 275/70R18 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx Tires wore out, it was time to look for a new set of tires. We have a 2 inch lift so make sure the tire size is correct for your vehicle set up.

We drive in the City daily, every weekend on the Highways, and some Off-Roading (dirt roads, dry river beds, mud, middle of nowhere surprise conditions, etc). We have specific winter tires, Nokian Hakkapeliitta Studded Tires (click for our full post on these tires) so we don’t look for all-season tires to work well in the winter. However, in the Rocky Mountains of Canada, summer tires also need to be able to handle snow since it can still snow in May and June and as early as October.

Summer time fun = parking where you can

What do all of these varying driving conditions mean? We want tires that can do it all! This means we need tires that can handle the worst possible conditions but are also great for day to day pavement.

Many “off-road” style tires are loud and aggressive for pavement driving. Finding something for both off-road and highway requires some research. Good thing my husband loves to talk about tires because a lot of “research” is chatting with everyone about what they use and how they find them.

Why We Switched from Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx Tires:

While the Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx tires served us well, we noticed increased road noise towards the end of their lifespan. Seeking a quieter alternative without compromising performance, we decided to explore other options.

After careful consideration, we opted for the Toyo Open Country A/T3 tires in the size 275/70R18. Here’s why:

• Positive Reviews: Toyo has a strong reputation for producing reliable and durable tires.
• Similar Driving Conditions: Our friends have had great success with these tires in similar conditions.
• Balanced Performance: The A/T3 offers a good balance of grip, fuel efficiency, and noise reduction.

Other Tires We Considered:

BF Goodrich All terrain TAKO2: we didn’t go with these after we heard feedback from our Toyota Service center that they are hard to balance on Sequoia’s.

Falcon wild peaks: are apparently a little heavier so fuel economy is not as good.

Whether you’re a daily commuter, a weekend warrior, or an avid off-road enthusiast, the Toyo Open Country A/T3 tires offer a reliable and versatile choice for your Toyota Sequoia. Their combination of on-road performance and off-road capability makes them an excellent option for a variety of driving conditions.
