I've had good luck with Coopers. I just replaced 4 of the AT/3's on my Tacoma with 56,000 miles on them. I don't like to run tires down to the last bit of tread and a lot of folks would have pushed them at least another 5K. Had winter not been coming on I might have too.
My brother has had good luck with the Firestone Destination A/T's. About the same mileage as I got with my Coopers. Price was about the same, but Cooper was running an $80 rebate at the time and that made the decision for me.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

3 months into Cooper AT3. So far so good. These things really grip on wet roads. I had to brake hard for a deer a couple of days ago and I never would have been able to stop in time with my old tires. They ride smooth and quite and look good on my Tacoma. I need a foot of snow to really try them out though.

Thats what I have on the H3. 93,000 on the first set, at 40,000 on the second, still a lot left. Best A/T tire I've run to date and the most popular in our area. Nothing but positive reports on the Cooper AT3's. If the Falken Wild Peaks I'm running (235's w/ 1000mi) are good off road and in inclement weather on the road which I suspect they will be it will be the only positive thing I can say about them.

Travis Forgot about the G015's even though we've had a set on my wife's '96 Blazer for a year next month. DUH. GOOD all around tire.

Been running BFG 0n all my trucks and Jeeps since the early 90’s. Get 40 to 50 thousand miles out of them, and never had a failure.
Why try anything else when you can run the best?

A bud has Nitto on his Tacoma.
He puts a lot of miles on, we'll see about the mileage
My son has Nitto, on his Z71.

I like the tread pattern, snow and ice traction, and the water channeling of the BFG AT. But.........for some reason that we can't figure out, the belts on the BFGs tend to break and cause bulging. This year we've replaced them with Hankook DynaPro ATs for our patrol fleet. I've ran the Hankooks before and like them a lot. i ran goodrich tires religiously for probably 30 years. I would NEVER buy them again. i had at least five separations, bulging tires on same truck. What took the cake was a blowout at about 65mph pushing me into a guard rail. about 3k of damage to truck. Goodrich said my fault cause i didn't stop fast enough to tell what went wrong. Doing that speed surrounded by vehicles how do you stop on a dime? earlier this year truck was acting wierd, found another six inch separation and said no more. Bought cooper's and entirely happy. Guy at the dodge garage said goodrich's are too soft a rubber for arizona, and they just fall apart. I think he was right. I don't know how true it is, but at discount tire they told me the goodrich's are made in thailand.

I've owned BFG T/A's since the early 90's. I busted a few early on when I did stupid stuff now I get the E range ones. They do as good as anything in northern Utah / Wyoming mud (I've never had any tire, self cleaning mud terrain or otherwise clear our mud) and seem to do better than others in the snow. Somedays it's snow then mud in the same day.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

Son is running some flavor of 33" Kuhmo Road Venture tires on 2005 W2500 diesel 6spd in South Carolina. He claims good traction, low relative road noise versus friend's BFG's. Really decent price. Tread life is not relevant to a 26 y.o. single crew chief driving a diesel truck with a tuner... Apple didn't fall far from the tree...

BFG All Terrain KO2's....best I've ever used. 3+ Have them on a 4x4 Off Road F150. Much improved over old KOs. Wearing very well and great traction on anything and everything. NB I started running BFG All Terrain TA in the late 1980s. For a while I ran a set of Goodyear off road mud tires on an '84 Jeep Cherokee and barely got 25,000 miles out of them. I've ran BFG All Terrain T/A ever since on two jeeps, two Silverados and my current GMC Sierra. No complaints. KC

I've run the hankook and the cooper AT3. Cooper wears longer and is better in the snow. I have some Toyo AT's I'm trying to run out in the summer that are junk, only bought them because they ther first 4080lb rated E's on the market.. This year I switched to cooper studded M&S in the winter and will be running cooper AT3's in the summer once I burn the last bit of tread off the toyo's. On my wifes truck we have been running copper at3's as a summer tire, and they have been great.

Are the Hankook DynaPro ATs a 10 ply tire that is good for towing an RV?
