Falken Wildpeak AT3W 33x12.5R15 on my y2k Cherokee XJ. Absolutely loving the AT3W's. They're amazeballs

[@phild9813]

I had them for one winter and surrounding shoulder seasons. About 6-8k miles probably. Solid performance for sure. Sold the tires with the vehicle though.

[@TheRealMikeWilly]

Got mine almost a year ago, I live in the PNW so they see tons of rain, snow in the mountains, and sand on the dunes. They don't love the mud, but I've only gotten stuck once and I've gotten thru some dicey swamps on em.

[@jeepervirus]

18,000 miles into my Venom Power Terra Hunters 35x12.50x20 and honestly they have been great on the road cross country, in Florida mud, on the moab rocks & tennessee mud rocks. I've been very impressed with these and they still have plenty of tread to go to as its been a driven cross country on pavement to get to the trails. Will definitely go with the Venom Power 37's next year when I upgrade next year.

[@richtyler1353]

I’ve been using the BFG ATs since the 70s we’re I live there awesome on everything we don’t get a lot of mud we’re I go off road. Mud is the only thing that they have an issue with. Air them down and are excellent on rocks. They were great and no matter how many times you air them down and back up I have never had any issues with the side walls. I wheeled with a suburban back in the 70s and now for the last 25 years have had Cherokee XJs. Excellent tread wear.

[@englematic]

I just use mastercraft courser MXTs mud terrains on my tacoma. Regularly run up and down muddy dirt roads and trails. But for MTs, the Courser MXT does very well on road, and I don't suffer that much fuel economy wise when on the highway. Got 19mpg on my last road trip. So I am very happy with the choice in tires.

[@offroadwarfare9526]

I just wanna say that I'm running the Kenda klever R/T and it's the only tire that I have found it that comes in a 35 x 10.50 other than a bogger

[@j.r.777]

For decades I have bought and used BF Goodrich All Terrain TKO (Now TKO II) 10 ply or greater tires. I know that many other people think and say that there is much better all terrain tires out there now, and that may or may not be the case but those tires have always performed amazingly well for me and I totally love them!

[@Bananahammock88]

Hate those tires. Worst rain tires I’ve ever run. They are horrible

[@herbwheeler4470]

I've used the Cooper Discoverer STT's here in Central NY all year round for the last 10 years or so. No complaints . I have had them on 2 Chevy Colorados and a Silverado they're great in the winter and muddy spring. If you're like me the tire noise is just fine I kinda like it.

[@gumboboy5446]

I currently have KM2s on my TJ, KM3s on my JKU, and KO2s on my JK. The KO2s are probably my favorite all around tire. The only time they have trouble is in the muddy clay.

[@rilopez825]

Jku, 3rd set of KO2’s 35 C rated. Mud and off road at least once a month. I air down to shout 18lbs for most terrains and 13lbs for sloppy mud. Not my daily driver yet I still prefer the soft quiet ride. I have noticed various changes on each new set of Ko2. Just got my last new set in March. I do plan on hitting some snow trails for the first time ever this year.

[@derekginter7626]

I've been running Kanati Trail Hog AT4, 37/12.50 17, since about 2014. I love them and for the price I can't go wrong. When I'm hauling a heavy load they perform very well at 75 psi, and work amazing on the trail at 8 psi. An awesome hybrid 10 ply. Been on the slickest ice in the Cascade Crud, thru the Sierras, and across the Arizona desert. I'm getting around 50,000 out of a set with regular rotation and psi monitoring. Rolling under 2500HD.

[@rockie307]

Yokohama g003 mt is my favorite all around after trying many others. Drive like a at on the highway and a mt off road. Very quiet and smooth for how aggressive they are.

[@justins380]

I have a 2018 JLUR running Yokohama G003s I love them. They out do the KO2's that came on the Jeep by far. The KO2's were great in soft sand and gravel. I had a few issues in mud and clay. Now when aired down the KO2's were quite impressive but not a MT.

[@reidharris1059]

Been running General Grabber ATx and general grabber X3 MT and absolutely love them , I hardly have to put my MTs on during deer camp seasons because the ATx does so good off-road

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

I have been running a set of 40" Nitto trail grapplers for 4 years now on my Jeep and wife's Jeep for about 3 years. They started on road with minimal offroading the first few years. Now they're almost exclusively offroad only. Mine look pretty bad from rock rash. I do have one with a serious cut from a car crawl benefit. Stay off cars is my best advice. Yet with that cut and missing lug that tire still pulls hard offroading. I have thought about buying a set of red labels but wow the price and availability of tires these days is crazy. I have 2 brand new 40s so I will probably just buy 2 more and keep my best tire out of the 5 original as a spare.

[@hezzdown]

2013 Tacoma with 35x12.5x17 Nito Ridge Grapplers. Great on road, and hook up excellent off road aired down to about 16lbs. Only issue is I'm getting some chunking on them. Nothing major and I had a feeling it would happen due to the softer compound and Arizona terrain.

[@franklock123]

[@Milwaukee307]

Great video! I am currently running 37's, Cooper STT Pro's on my Ram 1500 and they are great tires. I have done a lot of off road and woods driving with them and they have been awesome, but I drive on the pavement 95% of the time and as a daily driver it is a horrible experience. I still want the ability to go through mud but want better MPG (9 currently) and less noise and vibration. I am dead set on going down to 35's, probably the Radar Renegade R/T tires as a replacement. The A/T tires are just not aggressive enough, and the Renegades are perfectly balanced between aggressiveness and functionality IMO.

[@MitchBollig]

Went from Cooper Discoverers to Kenda Klever RT on 80 series LC. Love em.

[@onefastcyclist]

245/75/r16 BFG KO2 - a huge improvement over the Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10I was running. Great grip on both pavement or trail

[@beardedguardian71]

[@ms.annthrope415]

Some tire companies have changed the terminology to "Rugged Terrain" tire instead of hybrid tires because there are now tires just for hybrid vehicles and EV. So to reduce confusion, the old hybrid term is now called Rugged Terrain.

Been running the Falken Wildpeak 275/70/17 Load C and they've been spectacular in the PNW for the 40k Miles I put on. They wear a lot slower than expected with the semi aggressive driving I do with a KDSS equipped 4Runner and I can't wait for more snow!

ive run wildpeaks for 3 sets now, thoroughly enjoyed both on and off road with them as the tires aired down are great as well!

[@99jeepxjguy97]

I agree. I am on my second set of Wildpeaks. They are less expensive than BFG KO2s, but off road and winter(especially) are superior. The BFGs are better on road, quieter, and corner very well with no squall. Pretty good in the heavier stuff. The Widpeaks, however do not handle near as well on road. They squall like crazy in hard cornering.

[@petset77]

I've noticed that BFG all terrains have gotten more aggressive sidewall blocking in the last number of years. I'm an old guy (almost 65), and over a decade ago, most independent tire reviews claimed BFG A/T tires were really not too exceptional at any task, so have avoided them like the plague. My first offroad vehicle was a '68 Bronco which I totally restored just over 12 years ago, to be used in the mountains where I had just purchased land. (I still live here, and the Bronco went away while both the Tacoma 4x4 and Samurai stayed, but that's a different story for a different time). The tires I chose for the classic Bronco were Pro Comp X-Terrains, and they worked very well. I exhaustively researched suitable tires, and paid close attention to tread designs. The basic tread design of the BFGs remained the same over the years, but I noticed the sidewall blocks getting more aggressive. Perhaps that makes them better in sand, slop, and maybe light snow. I don't know. I DO know that Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac and Authority (hybrid by the definition presented here) both work pretty well in most conditions. The Duratrac set on the Samurai NEVER gets stuck, but it might be the truck. The Authority works great on the highway and in snow, but slides some in deeper mud when these dirt roads get heavy rain. That said, we got a washout rain this summer (some roads completely going away as gravity took over), and the roads that weren't mud under water or that had stuck trucks on them, the Authority set slid to the point of concern, but got me home up the mountain (I don't know how well they would have done going DOWN the mountain, with gravity working against me and reasonable grip). I'd think the ideal situation would to have multiple sets of tires for every circumstance, but where would we put them all, and when weather changes, do we have the time to change tires before trying to get to where are supposed to be in a timely manner? I have two sets of tires for my wife's Subaru, but I leave the same tires on my trucks all year long. The videos TrailBuilt presents are chocked full of useful information for any of us looking to learn more about extreme condition footing for our vehicles. Thanks guys!

[@jmackinjersey1]

Keep in mind I'm not jumping down your throat when I write this, as sometimes it is hard to distinguish the person's tone through text. I' m not sure what reviews you were reading about BFG All Terrain tires, but they have been some of the best tires made for decades. Best by ways of winning more races, lasting longer on vehicles, being some of the best selling tires on the market, just to name a few. This is not just in the States, but rather a World Wide arena. I have read one article that downplayed them tremendously. However it was written by a sales and marketing exec from another brand, so take it for what that's worth. The thing about the BGF AT's (and even their MT's in many cases) is that their design works, so rather than remove it and re-engineer another pattern, they simply add to it and make it even better with every iteration. In fact, it is one of the more often copied/imitated/stolen patterns out there. My experience with them (and all BFG's) is that they are one of the best tire manufacturers, and I have had a lot of experiences with different tire brands, from the $60/tire all the way up to $200/300 and beyond/tire. I'm not a brand loyalist, I'm a value for my money, top quality type of guy.

[@petset77]

@@jmackinjersey1, I appreciate your reply and insight. I was only commenting on what I read in a couple of places over a decade ago. One place was "Consumer Reports", and I think the other was in one of the offroad magazines that did a tire article. I get that one brand or another might claim superiority over competitors (with many products, not just tires). BFG M/T have a deep, aggressive tread, and the couple of people who I've crossed paths with in parking lots or wherever say they grip well. I also suggested that I'd think the heavier sidewall blocking on the A/Ts might help is situations. I live in the mountains on dirt roads, about 7 miles away from pavement, so I notice tires, and discuss when I can. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

[@charlescole7532]

@@petset77 when the sidewall blocks wear down then it’s no better than the old AT’s and those reviews were correct. They were popular when competition was limited but somehow managed to stay relevant , I guess jut the BFG brand.

I ran 32" BFG KO2's on my 3rd gen 4Runner and GX470 since 2016. The KO2 have really impressed me in all sorts of terrain except thick mud. Light mud is ok but once it piles up, it just become slicks. Prior to that I have Bridgestone Dueler Revo A/T (first gen) and Nitto Crosstek (first gen). KO2 outperformed both of them, especially the Nitto Crosstek. Fuel economy took a slight hit (~1.5mpg) due to tire size increase, skid plates, roof rack, and slight lift on both vehicles. 3rd gen 4Runner (supercharged) avg 16mpg on highway, GX470 avg 16.6mpg on the highway. I like the KO2 for its balanced performance in all areas but I should have tried the Falken Wildpeaks (A/T variant) that everyone talked about in one of the vehicles instead of putting KO2s on both. I added 33" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires during the summer of 2021 to my LX570 (200 series LC). This is more of a hybrid AT MT. It does well compare to the KO2 but I am really waiting for the raining/snow season to truly test out the mud/snow/ice performance compared to the KO2. I am impressed that I still retain close to 17mpg (16.86mpg actual on my recent 2000mi roundtrip from PNW to Utah) on the highway after switching to the Baja Boss A/T. This is my family overland/tow vehicle so it is unmodified except for the skid plates and tires. Noise wise I can barely hear it on highway since the vehicle is pretty well insulated. All highway fuel calculations are hand calculated, matched with OBDLink MAF calculation for the last couple of years since I started collecting data points. City driving mpg is less, especially for the 200 series LC.

[@callspreadzero854]

Found this extremely helpful. Purchased a 2019 GX460 last year and finally making the change from factory. Been leaning hard towards the KO2’s. How’s the highway noise?

[@runnerxa]

@@callspreadzero854 Compared to the stock all seasons that come on the GX470/GX460, you will notice a little more hum but not too much. Maybe more once it wears down. It really comes down to how much off-road driving you do. If you want a more highway tire that can also off-road occasionally, you might want to look at the Yokohama A/T G015. It will get better fuel economy and is less noisy than the KO2 and has less aggressive threads. It is also 3PMSF rated like the KO2 for the occasional snow/ice you may get in northern Texas.

@@TheNormalUkrainian I have driven the Baja Boss A/T through a couple of rain storms in the PNW and they seem pretty solid. No issues slipping nor stopping. Same with driving through flooded roads. I also driven them through a couple of snow storms between Montana, Idaho, and Utah in which the roads were littered with cars on the side of the road. They performed awesome and didn't experience any slip even when the road turned icy. The Dept of Transportation later end up shutting down the roads between Utah and Idaho due to the accidents.

AT has been put on a lot of tires that I feel should have gotten an AS rating at most like the Continental Terrain Contact AT sure it’s a great tire but it’s more AS than AT in my opinion

[@SliderFury1]

100% agree with this. From my research, tires like the Firestone A/T 2 or the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S are BARELY worthy of the AT moniker. The Terraincontacts are slightly better on-road than those two and just aren't up to snuff in the snow to be able to call itself "All-Terrain".

[@SliderFury1]

This is my list for tires I'm looking at currently, in order of how much I like each. But I can't decide! Can y'all help? Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S Continental Terraincontact A/T Nitro Terra Grappler G2 Michelin Defender LTX MS XL Firestone Destination AT2 Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 I'm in central Pennsylvania. Mostly highway, some off road (like 10%), need to be solid in snow. I have a Ram 1500 Limited Night Edition (22 inch wheels) and plan to tow a small-to-medium sized travel trailer a few times per year.

[@TrailBuilt]

Hey Mikell, we took a look at the tires you're condering and we would go with the Nitto Terra Grapplers. Inventory is very good in nearly all sizes and they also come with a 50K mile warranty and some sizes have 65K. They are a more pricey but they should hold very well! If you don't want to spend that much, we suggest going with the Coopers. Inventory is limited but they come in at a much lower price and still have that 65K mile warranty

[@finnishfatman]

Oh how I wish Goodyear would still sell their Wrangler Duratracs here in Europe, at least for 17 inch wheels. I think they're "hybrids" more than pure AT's or MT's. And they're just so damn good. I just drove 500 kilometers in a loan car that had BFGoodrich AT's on it and the highway humming was pretty bad. I have those Duratracs on my vehicle and they're as quiet as any street tire (since those blocks vary in size through out the tire and don't start making that hum), but still have nice big enough blocks to help with off road situations. In fact, here in Europe it's pretty hard to get your hands on any kinds of hybrids 😔 And ordering from US to Finland would cost so much, it wouldn't be worth it. Otherwise I'd be placing order for couple of sets already 😅

[@ryancollins3227]

Its a good thing Goodyear markets the longevity of their tires in the name, about a good year. -brought to you by the BFG KO2 Gang

[@finnishfatman]

@@ryancollins3227 I've had my Duratracs on my WK for 2 years now and I haven't even rotated them once (yes I know I should...) but thread depth is pretty much as it was brand new and they've seen about 25 thousand kilometers now. Tarmac mostly, but gravel roads (with big rocks) and off roading too, tho not rock crawling since we don't have mountains here. I'd say they have survived pretty well so far 🤔 Any wear they have is evenly distributed (because my WK's wheel alignment doesn't suck) and they're still as quiet as they were. Can't complain. But those KO2 tires that were on this loan Cherokee... jeez, my ears nearly dropped and when I drove back to the garage I considered driving with ear protection 😑 And they weren't even in that bad shape, still plenty of tire left. That sealed the deal for me: No KO2's under my vehicle, since I like to hear things 😅

[@Dildo_Baggins.]

+1 on the Duratracs. had mine for almost 24k miles (on pavement 99%) and still 11-12/32nds tread left

[@gregc7314]

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac. Basically a hybrid with the snowflake rating. Next would be the KO2's. But the DuraTracs are a little more aggressive and better offroad. And I don't buy the whole what percentage you drive offroad as being the determining factor. Because that 1 time you need a more aggressive tread pattern, you need it. Same with the snowflake rating. I would run a mud tire if one had a snowflake rating.

[@zipperboy2008]

I went from Cooper At3 4s to the BFGoodrich KO2. Off road 30%, mostly gravel, mud, and snow. The Coopers ran very well in all conditions. They outperformed on wet/dry pavement than BFG’s to the point of zero wheel spin. The BFG’s did outperform in the mud, have not yet driven in snow.

[@SliderFury1]

This is great info for me, I've been leaning towards the Coopers but still not sure yet (also considering Michelin Defenders, Conti Terraincontacts, Firestone Destination AT2's, and Nitto Terra Grappler G2's). The Coopers seem like they have the best balance out of all of them but ironically, I've heard there tough to balance properly lol.

@@SliderFury1 I had no issues balancing them. You won’t be disappointed in them plus they have 105’000km tread life warranty.

What made you go with the 4s versus the XLT?

[@zipperboy2008]

@@matthewm3912 I think at the time the price. The 4s were on sale and only $225cdn a tire. Mind you I did extensive research and found that the 4s would definitely suit my driving needs. I was comparing the XLT to the KO2 and went with KO2. They had a slight edge over the xlt.

Why did Hankook stop making the Dynapro ATM I have this tire on my F250 2001 Crewcab, I have right about 60,000 miles on them, they need replaced badly, I run 285X75X16 the width of the tire is perfect for the crewcab, doesn't feel like the truck will fall over making a tight turn, Im thinking about the Falklin AT3 with a 10 Ply side I tow my trailer often so I need the 10 ply sides, but my question is why don't the make the Hankook ATM in my size anymore

I believe when they released the AT2 that took the place of the ATM.

I heard this from someone on a Toyota Tacoma forum - also that the siping depth isn't all that great, as in it will be nearly gone after the first 4/32 of wear or so? Is your siping shallow? It's the only thing holding me back from a set of these...

[@tyrrellroach5872]

So this is my opinion the general atx, bfgoodrich allterrains, and even the Micky Thompson are more of an aggressive all terrain. Now the good year dura trac is my definition of a hybrid tire. Too aggressive to be a all terrain, but too tight an inner tread patch, too soft a rubber, and too much siping tto be a mud terrain . I’m sure some others fall in here but not the generals or the bfgoodriches. Imo
