Since this comes up weekly, and I've tried to respond to most that I see, I thought I would throw this together. Note that the name of the tire is a link the the manufacturer's website that contains the sizes and specs for each specific tire.
Now, granted, there are tons of AT tires out there that are stock replacements etc, my reviews are going to focus mainly on the more popular and mainstream tires that are used here on GMFS, not the tires that Joe Schmoe runs down to the tire shop and get the local specials.
Pros:
- Excellent Wear/Mileage
- Great road manners.
- Severe Snow rated
- Long history
- Basically the benchmark All Terrain
Cons:
- Expensive
- Poor in mud, as are all A/T's when compared to M/T's, but they are known to load up very quickly.
- Some have complained about noise levels
- Run small for their stated size.
Overall about the only thing bad about these is the cost. :imo
Pros:
- Excellent road manners
- Excellent wear/mileage
- Heavily siped for good wet/snow traction
- Quiet
- Smooth ride
Cons:
-Not the best in mud. Surprise.
I had one set of these on my stock wheels for over 65K miles, through 4 Northern Lower MI winters, excellent tires, I would buy them again. Also had a set on my 20's, response. Only things I've heard bad is that they don't "look aggressive enough" :rofljest:
Cons:
Fairly new tire from a company that's been around for a while
No "real life" reviews from actual owners yet with notable milage
There are plenty of others:
Pro-Comp Xtreme A/T
Pro-Comp A/T
Bridgestone Duelers, I've got the Revo's on my stockers, great for a stock replacement.
Firestone Destination AT
Cooper Discoverer ATR
Michelin LTX
Goodyear
Off Brands
Anyone wants to do a review like the ones above and PM it to me I will add it to the original post, I just threw this together. Who knows maybe we can get a sticky.
Great writeup! I can say that my BFG's have 25,000 miles on them and they still have 8/32 of tread left. They are starting to get a little loud but not bad. Not the greatest in mud, but I dont offroad it much at all. My father-in-law has the firestone destination A/T's and I have to say they are great. He has 10K on them and they look great. Its also an F-250 that he hauls a race trailer with. Would deffinately recommend both tires.
good job on the post, ive had a set of BFG A/Ts , a set of the toyo a/ts and i currently have the nitto terra grapplers, me personally i hated the bfg a/ts my bfg m/ts outlasted my a/ts, i really liked my toyos but sold my old truck and the tires went with it , but i do like the nittos good all around tire, hope to hear some things about the cooper m/t been lookin into gettin a set.
I had the Cooper STT for about 6 months, I had no use for a mud tire once I moved to this forsaken wasteland, so I sold them, other than the noise, I was happy with them.
One thing I would like to add, that I have read recently, is that the Nitto Terra Grapplers are heavier than other comparable tires. I have not done much research on this, but keep seeing this.

I bought the Michelin LTX AT2. So far they are great. Just need to go off-roading to find out how good they are in that aspect. But on the road, very quiet, have good mileage/wear ( or atleast are suppose to ) and have a good ride quality to them. And they have 17/32 tread depth. And they were on the expensive side, thats for sure.
Here are some recent tires I've had and the reviews:
Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo (I had the Revo 1, I hate the way the new Revo 2's look, they are less aggressive) - low noise (although there is still a slight hum), ride great, great in wet and snowy conditions, decent looks, very good mileage
Nitto Terra Grapplers (my current tires) - very low noise, ride great, awesome so far in rain and snow, look really good for an AT IMO, have did decent tread wear wise as well
I have the Cooper Zeon LTZ's also. There is no difference in sound between these and the stock Goodyear Wranglers. They ride great and handle amazing in the rain. I couldn't be more pleased with this tire.
Look at Discounttire.com for hundreds of positive reviews on the Cooper Zeon's.
They took less than 2oz weight per rim to balance (inside & center stick-on weights)
During our "snow storm of the century" we got 14-18" of snow while I left the truck in 4HI the time, I never had any problems getting out anywhere nor put any weight in the bed of the truck(aside from what snow fell back there).
With having said that, I've only put 4500 miles on the tires since purchase, and they show no visible wear to speak of. Im getting ready to rotate them at 6k miles when i change the oil on the truck.
With the above said---I will recommend these to anyone looking for an AT tire
with no weights at all they still ride great, aligned easy. Like most a/ts they work great but cake pretty easy. Pretty quiet on the road, worked good in the snow we had last week. Wear is good so far.
