Just replaced a set of Hancook dynapros. They only lasted 66,000 miles on northwest Wyoming. Lots of non pavement miles and no flats.

I have Michelin (insert some combination of L's, T's and X's here) on my Sierra, Falken Wild Peak on wife's Suburban and BFG KO2 on my Bronco. All are good. Very impressed with the Falkens so far. Quiet ride

I drive a lot of gravel and it chews up my tires pretty bad. I just looked on line at the Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventure with Kevlar. They claim to be a good tire for gravel due to the Kevlar being more puncture resistant.
Anybody had experience with these?

Had BFG KO tires on a Suburban and they were excellent. Very very good on ice and in snow.
Had Geolanders on a Jeep. Very quiet, smooth ride and excellent handling. But, I got one sidewall sliced by a rock and as they were nearing their end, I replaced them. Put Duratrac tires on. Would have preferred KO tires but where I bought them, the Duratrac were priced about $50 per tire lower. Big difference when putting them on an old half worn out Jeep.
Prolly many good off road tires out there in the marketplace.

The Cooper AT3s have been good to me. It's a long lasting tire that is pretty quiet on the highway and pretty decent off the pavement.

So, I got these Duratracs put on the Jeep yesterday. Took it out today to a spot that I had taken deer before and was slowly wheeling around and I hear this “whoosh.” Hmm.... so I stop, look at all the tires and all seems ok. Drive for a bit and then stop. Stretch my legs and then see the front left tire flat. Rock cut on the inside near the tread. 46 miles. Feeble old guy by himself,miles from anywhere, changing the tire. Harrumph! Wish I had bought the KO tires or something else. BUT, the guy at the tire store made me feel special. He asked how I did it and then said “This almost never happens, I’ve never seen one cut like this.” It was rocky but pretty tame 4 wheeling.

I put a set of Hankook's on my '07. The NEXT day I drove to work and when I went to leave for lunch I noticed a tire was very low. I limped the short way to the place that installed them the day before and they found a 3/8 x 5" bolt inside the tire. That left a nice hole in a brand new tire.
