With age comes wisdom, And usually deeper pockets....lol

The BFGs out performed the Toyo open country.
And the Cooper AT3s...

Had them on our plow trucks...... everybody that drove them agreed the BFGs were the best ..

Can't say anything on the Nittos......but see a lot of them.

Very, very, very true on the deeper pockets. Check out this review I found on AT tires. It’s pretry interesting. But I’m sure if one looked hard enough, a review could be found that had each tire as the winner of some shoot out somewhere.

I have Mastercraft Courser CXTs on my truck. They look good, do well on wet/dry pavement, and do excellent in mud. Also, they are made in the USA and are pretty cheap compared to similar size tires.

the wrangler dynatrac's were the best wearing most aggressive A/T I've ever owned and despite wearing well, they still seemed to be of a softer compound and worked well in the snow

This forum used to be mostly pro duratracs but now has moved over to the BFG K02...

I never liked the duratracs and while I do like the K02s somewhat I do not enjoy riding on a 10 ply tire.

I did a lot of looking around when i needed some fall/winter AT tires for hunting and deep snow.


I ultimately went with the General Grabber AT2 AT tires (they are not snow tires)- they are P rated and provide exceptional ride quality without increased weight and fuel mileage. POI - I also went with 18s for these as my summers are 20s.

The Generals dont seem to be overly popular but those few on here (like me) really enjoy them and swear by them.

i haven't tried them since they were re-released because of what seemed like common poor reviews... i had them back in the 90's and i thought they were great tires. good to know that it's not all poor reviews since the re-release

I'm over 50 (dam!) and I'm not a fan of the K02s...they look good but are again a heavy e rated tire.

I used to focus on style and looks...now I focus on performance and quality.
Again...wisdom.

The 18s with a P rating give an exceptional ride...maybe thats also why nothing in my truck rattles or squeaks.

There is not a lot of choice in that tire size.

And thats a pretty big tire.
If youre willing to compromise and drop it down a bit you may find more selection.

You mentioned a lot of sand driving...

This is the Atturo Trail Blade XT supposed to be very good in sand and wet sand areas.

For anyone that may read this thread in the future, don't buy Toyo AT2's! Mine have about 25k miles, still have 11-13/32nd's tread on them and yet, no traction whatsoever whenever ANY water is on the ground. I have trouble even taking off from a stop light without tripping the traction control light, no matter how careful I am. I wish I would have done a lot more research beforehand, but that's what I ended up with.

Mine are currently being replaced with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's and I'm hopeful they will do much better. Reviews on various sites, including this one, indicate they are a much better wet weather tire while still having about the same treadwear.
