Which brand AT tires?
I am am kicking tire brands in prep for getting a new set. Right now I have Falken 275/65/18 E's and I like how they have performed and worn, but the E load range is waaay more than I need. I want to stick with an AT, but would consider a AS and my requirement is that they are fairly quiet and will do good on wet and snow if needed. I occasionally pull my 3500lb camper trailer and most of my miles are commuting to and from work. Here is what I am considering:
Falken Wildpeak AT3 in 116T - affordable, great overall performance and aggressive look
BFG AT K02 - EXPENSIVE! I had these on my Jeep and they wear like iron
Toyo Open Country ATII - price is between the first two, I know little about these tires
Nitto Terra Grappler G2 - price is same as Falken, I know nothing about these
I am leaning towards the Falkens again but I am hoping someone here has had the Falkens and another brand and can give me a comparison and reason to get another brand. Maybe someone has a great suggestion on an AS tire?

I have the Falken Wildpeak AT3 non E tires; previously I had the BFG AT KO2's. I may be in the minority here but frankly I like the Falken Wildpeaks better; better traction and quieter, although gas mileage dropped a skosh.

I run Cooper AT3's. I live where there is snow/ice 3-4 months a year. I love these tires in all seasons. They wear well and are quiet.

I've had both the Toyo's and now have the Falken's. Falken's win by a mile and then some. I absolutely hated the Toyo's. They were horrible for traction, noise, and did not wear as evenly as I had hoped either. I got rid of them before I even hit 20k miles because I hated them so much. I've had the Falken's now for about 10k miles and it will definitely be the tire I stick with going forward with any truck I have. Great look, great grip, wet weather they are fantastic, and they are quite a bit quieter on the highway than the Toyo's.

This is my 3rd winter using my Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires and after 38K I'm still really happy with them. Nice and quiet, even wear, and good traction. The first two winters I had them I stopped putting winter weight in the back of the truck because the Nittos were so much better than the stock Bridgestones they replaced. This year with the tires worn down to 6-7/32" the snow and ice traction isn't quiet as good as it was last year and I might add some winter weight to the truck, but the truck still does great in the snow and doesn't slip when in 4WD.

I have the new Michelin Primacy XC tire on my truck (came from factory with them). Drove for the first time in the snow yesterday and i am very impressed. Not sure how they will do in deep snow but in the 4-6 inches we had yesterday they performed great. wet traction is great too

Another vote for duratracs. I decided to switch it up last time and put on bfg ko2's. Never again the bfgs are complete garbage. I can litterally pick the tires apart with my fingernail. Should have bought another set of duratracs.

I currently have the 275/70/18 Wildpeak AT3W Load E 10 plys. I LOVE THEM. super quiet and smooth ride , great wet traction as well. I have not had them in the snow yet. I had BFG AT before ( not KO2 ) and they were good ride but wet traction was terrible. I would buy Falkens again no questions asked.
