Discount Tire Pathfinder AT.

Hankook discontinued the Dynapro AT-M in favor of the AT-2.
Discount Tire bought the molds and has Hankook make them for their store brand.
I got 96000 miles on my first set of Dynapros and I’m hoping for the same performance from these.

We have had multiple sets of the now discontinued Hankook Dynapro ATM and they have been good.
(diesel F350 DRW)

Have a set of Toyo Open Country AT's on a pickup we don't use much, no opinion as only 2-3k miles on them.
(diesel F350 DRW)

And I'm about ready to get a third set of Cooper ST Maxx on my F350.
(diesel F350 SRW)

Figured I get about 35k miles which is about what we get with the Hankooks.


They aren't cheap, over $200 apiece here locally but I never rotate and rarely get a flat so I like 'em.

i run a fleet of trucks, 50/50 gravel roads, paved roads, with snow ice mud ect thrown in, have tried the brands mentioned in the thread, so far the falken AT and the MT tire has been the best overall, mileage, traction, flats and sidewall damage,, they have tough side wall, we average 48000-50000 miles per set, i buy 20 sets a year or so,,,,

Good to know as I never got anywhere close to to the mileage claims of the BFG from above.

The place I get my Falkens from runs them on their trucks that get a lot of gravel time and are getting 60k out of them. I am over 40k on one set and they are looking good to 60k. 10 ply, and get a mix of highway, gravel, and towing.

When Larry was there last summer they didn't honor his good consumer discount at Walmart and it apparently also pissed him off that The Billings Walmart that he visited was bigger than his home store in LALA land. And the CICI pizza was 6 blocks away from WalMart. A major logistics problem that he had to report to the other Larry in case he ever travels to Montana.

Some people are never happy unless they can stir over what makes them unhappy.

I like the Goodrich all-terrain tires for both road and off-road. But I don't farm/ranch or use them heavily off-road like some do.


It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

BFG all terrains on both my 1 ton dually's that I use for my firewood business. In the bush everyday in some pretty nasty spots, never had a problem with puncture's, tearing, etc... There might be quieter and prettier tires, but they have been good to me.

I get 80k per set on my Toyota Tacoma. I havent used another tire that strikes a perfect balance. Between wear,traction off road and traction on snow/ice.

Thanks to all for your posts on this one. You have been very educative and helpful. I had no bad experience with the Cooper tires but felt that I needed to see if there is something better for our current use. The decision came down to the three brands most recommended by this group and due to quick availability, price and good extras, I went to a local small shop and got the set of Hankooks - moved down to the 245 size - for out the door price of $855, including free lifetime rotation and repairs for any flats.. Immediately drove 40 miles on the freeway and all felt good - steering is even steadier, minimal tire noise and the truck seems to sit down on the road a bit better.

Thanks again.

Had a set of Centennial Terra Commanders on a 1996 K1500 W/T that would go anywhere on the farm I pointed the truck. About $800 for the set.

Just put a set of Hercules Avalanche Xtreme on a 2005 diesel Dodge W2500 SRW. Have been pleased with them so far for traction and road noise. Run the truck about 5,000 miles per year. Planning to run these year round to see how long they last.

I’m running Yokohama Geolander 003. They’re considered an aggressive all terrain tire, but they look much like a mud tire. I only run 10 plys due to the crap I hunt in and how much I tow. I don’t like flats, especially in the middle of nowhere. I was afraid they’d be loud, but I’ve been really surprised. Others that have ridden in my truck have said the same thing. They aren’t overly expensive and they seem to wear really well. Just another option if you’re interested.

Go to Coopers web site and check the various brands they manufacture.....I'm on my second set of "Mastercraft" and if I live long enough, I'll buy them again...
