Well, I have been living full time in Mexico for a while now and I am having a lot of tire issues. Right now I have the Hannook Dynapro AS on my truck. I am wondering if AT tires are stronger? I drive on dirt roads a lot, because at times there is no other choice, and they are filled with sharp rocks generally the size of baseballs. Would an AT tire hold up better on these types of roads? Would just simply getting a different tire be better, since I have read a lot of bad things about the Hannooks? Or am I just stuck because all tires will have a hard time going over sharp rocks?

 

I would go with an 8 ply A/T tire like BFG.

 

I would assume your tires are P rated for passenger cars. I would go with an LT (light truck) tire. The BF Goodrich all terrain is a great choice. As far as what ply rating each tire has I am clueless.

 

Check this link to get an idea about tire load ranges and ply ratings. Good info.

my buckshots are pretty damn tough

 

After Katrina I was getting too many flat's with my stock P rated tires. Cut down to zero switching to LT 10 ply tires. Did hit a piece of steel that took out a 2 inch diameter of the tread on a BFG AT I had on. LT tires are a lot stronger then a P rated tire, just make sure they have 3 ply sidewalls.

 

Okay thanks. I will definitely look into LT tires.

 

yes upgrading to an 10 ply rating woul be you best bet. The ply rating means that is how many layers are built into the tire. Obviously the more layers the better off you are. This should all but stop your tire issues.

 

^^^ Great info! I love the avatar by the way, Trailer Park Boys rock!

 

A point that needs to be addressed is if you do upgrade to 10 ply tires. DON'T run them at 80 psi!!!!!! 45 will be plenty an a little more if you haul or have much toung weight from a trailer.
