Default Good AT tires for just highway driving?

Currently have toyo MT on the truck, looking to go to an AT as there is no off roading and it's a daily driver. Don't live in the snow so that's not an issue, I do want something that keeps the beefy look going.

Looking at the toyo AT2, anything else good to consider that's decently priced?

I had Toyo AT 2's on my Super Duty and they were great. Pretty Quiet on the highway and traction was awesome. They aren't cheap though.

I was looking at Terra Grapplers and BFG KO2's for mine when it comes time. a little lighter and better deals can be had around here.

I will also recommend the Nitto Terra Grapplers ... I had a set of 275/65r20's on my truck for a year, and they were awesome for normal driving, and did very well in light off-road stuff. They are quiet, wear well, and offer great traction on the road. I also got that set of tires off Amazon Prime for less than $950 delivered to my house ... Not sure you can find a better deal than that.

Dang that is a great deal. Amazon is the last place I would've have looked for tires... although pretty much everything else I buy is from there haha.

They were basically $235 per tire ... free shipping (ala: Prime) ... $940 delivered to my door within about 3 days of placing the order.

Nitto is a division of Toyo ... yes, the tires are different ... but they are VERY similar. I can't justify the price difference between them.

Anyway, on Amazon ...

BFG KO2's (the new ones) are 275/65r20 for $288/tire, shipped (free shipping) ... that's only $1152 delivered ... add about $80 for installation, give or take.

Terra Grappler G2's are only $265/tire in that same size, delivered.

Long story short, you can EASILY get away with around $1250 vs. this $1700 you're talking about ...

Got my set of Cooper AT3's off ebay, very quiet and good traction in wet weather, haven't been off road yet but from what others have said they do very well.

$780 + free shipping.This is who I got them from.

Im running 295/65/20 toyo at 2 extreme . very smooth ride have not had any issues with them at all and have had them on the beach in the sand and little dirt/ mud they look they seem to be rock solid tires and I believe there a 40,000 or 50,000 mile tire warranty to boot .



















Sorry I threw another plug in there of my lights I like the way they turned out I did them myself

I have Cooper Discoverer A T3 on my 98 F150, also a daily driver. They surprised me as they were no noisier then the regular tires I had previously but did great in rain and light snow both (it's 2WD). Nice Looking and very affordable.
