We have had a couple of sets of Cooper AT3 and have been very happy with them. Seem to be pretty decent on the road and decent enough in snow/mud.

Thanks for the input guys. For the record, I ended up with the Cooper A/T3's. They look like great tires but not a small part of my choice was that of all the ones recommended here, that was the ONLY one that I could buy without a special order for my size. I liked the looks of the BFG KO2's but they don't have any warranty at all while the A/T3's have a 55k warranty.
I'm running LT245 75R17's. The stock size on my pickup is 265 70R17. I prefer the narrower ones. They have the same diameter and weight rating but the narrower tread gives more room for chains plus they handle better. I had 2 shops tell me that this is a very popular size yet they don't stock them.

Haven't heard or read anything but good reports on the A/T3 since they came out.

I hope you like them. I have the ATP's, which are a close cousin and they have held up well so far to summer heat, towing, and some dirt road and trail wheeling on a 3/4 ton diesel. They have also stayed relatively quiet, which is a big plus for me.

Big fan of Michelin light truck tires. Have run them on 3 different trucks now, with the current one being a 2016 Sierra 2500HD Duramax. This past long weekend, I spent 4 days climbing up and down rocky trails of sharp volcanic rocks, and driving through mudholes on trails. The performance of these factory-installed tires is great.
