I gave my son my 4wd and I ended up buying a 2016 silverado 1500 2wd. Problem that I recently found out is our property road gets a little dicey when It rains. never noticed it before in my older 4wd, but this newer 2wd with the continental road "slicks" pulling my trailer with Ranger 800 on it, it a no go. So I need a good A/T tire so i can access my property. So if any of you guys travel down old dirt farm roads when it rains or even slight mud in a 2wd, what are you guys running? These "slicks" could get me stuck in wet clover.

I imagine this is why we saw so many Co-Op Grip Spurs and Buckshots on the back of trucks in the 70's and 80's, when fewer folks had 4wd. Just about any AT tire with some larger tread voids should clean out and grip better than a highway tire. I'd look at Cooper or Mastercraft.

What does a locker cost for that?

Ah the old COOP GripSpur. Old guy who lets me fish used to drive a 1979 F150 4x4 Supercab longbox with those babies on all 4 corners. About 32” tall and looked like 4” wide but they’d sling the mud and it would go like hell when it was nasty out. Sorry just brought back some old memories from my childhood.

Whatever you end up with for tires, get a set of chains.

And I hope you have a limited slip diff. If not, get one of those too.

Years ago, a friend's hunting truck was an old delivery van, 2wd. It had a limited slip rear end. That thing would go through mud where 4x4's (with no lockers) were spinning out. He amazed me with it more than once. I had a '78 Jeep Wagoneer with heavy mud tires. He'd leave me in the mud.

Yeah. My father was old school, refused to buy a 4wd. Drove a 2wd pickup with limited slip diff, carried a shovel, chains, a power puller type manual winch, and used a lot of common sense. He did fine with that setup.

I'm lazier, hate putting on chains, so have a 4wd. But have still needed chains on occasion, particularly when pulling an atv on a trailer! Only have one set for rear wheels, thinking about adding a set for the front wheels.

Yeah I know. But some years the hunting season is bone dry and others you would swear Louisiana was like Seattle and rain every other day.

He said neither are real good quality, Ultraterrain doesn't have a mileage warranty at all, and they've been having some folks bringing back the Wildpeaks for various issues. Both are poorly rated on wet traction/wet stopping as well.

I had the Cooper AT3 on my list as well and he said that was one they recommend along with the Pathfinder AT, made for DT by Hankook Tire.

He said they sell a schit ton of the Ultraterrain's but said mostly because they "look cool".

I’m quickly becoming a Cooper fan. Had a terrible experience with BFG AT tossing a cap and ruining a fender and BFG says to GFY. Set of Toyo MTs on my last Superduty were horrible, rode and wore like they were square and looking done for at 20k. Been putting Cooper AT3s on stuff lately and getting good results.

My favorite AT tire has been the Firestone Destination AT. However, if I had lot's of mud to go through the only thing I would get would be a good mud tire. If you insist on AT's then like others have said get a set of chains.

It'd be no thing to put four AT tires on a 2wd truck and pick up two take-off rims for a pair of mud tires, only bolting those on the back for hunting season. Lot's of spare GM wheels out there.
