Best All-Terrain Tires for a Tacoma
Short answer
For most Tacomas, the best all-terrain tire is the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, or Toyo Open Country A/T III — the three this category ranks highest, tied on our blended score, and all three balance dirt, gravel, and light-snow traction with reasonable road manners and treadlife. Pick the Falken for wet and snow value, the BFG for sidewall toughness, and the Toyo for a lighter, quieter daily driver.
The do-everything Tacoma tire: dependable in dirt, gravel, and snow while staying civil on the highway.

Frequently asked questions
Our ranking puts the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 first in this category, with the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and the Toyo Open Country A/T III immediately behind it on the same blended score. All three carry the 3PMSF severe-snow rating. Take the Falken for wet and snow grip at a lower price, the BFG for sidewall toughness, and the Toyo for the quietest daily drive of the three.
Yes. Modern all-terrains are quiet and efficient enough for daily use while still handling dirt, gravel, and light snow. If you almost never leave pavement, a highway tire rides quieter and lasts longer, but an all-terrain is the best single choice for a truck that does a bit of everything.
Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) rating. The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and BFGoodrich KO2 both carry it and both sit among the stronger all-terrains on our snow axis. For deep or icy winters, a dedicated winter tire still grips better on ice, and our winter tire guide compares the highest snow scorers in the whole 50-model set.
On a Toyota Tacoma's factory sizes, the top all-terrain picks are the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and Toyo Open Country A/T III, each 8.1 out of 10, but among factory sizes our dataset lists those three only in 265/70R17 and 265/70R18. On 245/75R16, 265/70R16, 265/65R17, 245/70R17, or 265/65R18, the highest scorers listed in all five are the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S/LT and Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme, both 7.6, and on 265/60R18 the dataset lists no all-terrain at all. Each score is an editorial synthesis of published reviews, manufacturer specifications, and retailer fitment data rather than a lab test, and availability is what the dataset records, not live stock. Every size and pick here is Tacoma data, so on another midsize truck start from its own door placard and check the model in that size.
