What all-terrain tires are you running?

[Critter]

I'm trying to broaden my horizons when it comes to tires. I have had many sets of BFG A/Ts and also a few Nitto Terra Grapplers but in my opinion they are just getting too expensive, especially for a weekend vehicle/toy. I have had great success with the two I just mentioned but I wanted to see what you guys were doing. The two vehicles I have in mind see 80% street use with the other 20% being gravel roads, beach, light trail use, etc (no rock climbing or mud bogging of course). What are some tires I should look into, preferably less expensive ones than the BFGs and Nittos. I see a lot of Cooper, Hankook, and Dunlop out there nowadays. What do you guys think???

I'm running a set of kumho road ventures on my 2004 dodge 2500 cummins with a 5" lift and have 54,000 miles and 4 years on them. I've only rotated them about 5 times and have never had the front end aligned and they have worn perfectly. I've been very happy with them.

Dunlop Radial Rovers now, will be buying BFG A/Ts come spring.

Yokohama Geolanders 285/75R16's. Ride great, very quiet and look great. Oh yeah and last a long time. Not to hard on the wallet either. I put a set on my Sons 69 Long Fleet and they had 33K miles on them but they still look like new. The only reason I pulled them off my 2004 2500HD was because I drove cross country in the middle of winter and I wanted a new set of tires. They had just started making a little WA WA noise going down the road on my truck that weighs about 7500lbs and when I put them on my Sons 69 that weighs about 4000lbs they are completely quiet with tons of tread left.

Took the words right out of my mouth..put these on my 4Runner about a year ago, don't think I will go back to the BFG's! They look awesome too!

I have a set of Yokohama Geolanders on my dakota, I had a balance issue that the tire co said was more due to the rims needing a centering sleeve on the hub, but other than that i have been happy with them on the pavement and snow, but i think they suck a bit on the ice but hey no studs and a pickup bed

JRBECK you have the old stlye Geolanders i belive and they are an awesome tire and i had gotten over 75,000 miles out of them on my 06 GMC Duramax, they ended up changing them to a less agressive style and look more like a all season truck tire, i run a Sport King A/T on my 72 which from searching around is made by BF and has the same tread design as the BF AT

Thanks for all the responses guys. This is exactly the type of info I was hoping to get. By the way, snow is the least of my concerns. I am more worried about 140 degree asphault melting the tire. So if you think a tire is awesome in every way except in the snow/ice please tell me about it anyway.

The General Grabber AT2 is actually high on my list as far as looks and price go, but until your post I haven't heard from anyone who has actually used/been around them. Anybody else running them? They at least look the part in my opinion.

bf good rich all-turrains all the way.my dad said there the best tire he has ever owned he's had them on his trucks since he could afford them and he just got a new set for his new truck in the summer there.

I've always been fond of the BFG AT's as well, but like you mentioned they are getting expensive. I like the Goodyear Wrangler MTR's as well and will be running a set on my '69 K10.

These are 33 x 12.50's of 12" Eagle's.







Good luck with your choice.

That's a pretty nice chart. So far for the purposes I am looking at the General Grabber is "winning". It seams to perform good, cost is reasonable, and they look good (looks are probably more important to me than they should be). I would be putting them on weekend warriors, not show vehicles. On the other hand the Blazer in my signature is going to be an all out/no expenses spared vehicle. It will probably get some Goodyears or BFGs.
