either love or hate

heard lots of prob's with balancing them ??

I've never heard of bad weather tires. I guess I'd look for a little symbol on the sidewall that shows a cow smashed into a water tower?

similar to the snowflake symbol but badder.

There were tons of problems on the AT2’s, and I had a set that would wiggle your fillings out, but the AT3’s they have out now are supposed to be much better.

Check out the Yokohama Geolander MT G003 tires. The tread pattern is almost identical and they’re quieter. They’re also WAY cheaper. I’ve got a set that I’ve been putting through hell and they’ve impressed me.

I've been very happy with the AT3Ws on my F350.

Nitto Exo Grappler is the best non-studded AT tire I've used in snow/packed-snow/ice. They carry a load very well also as a result of the extra belt in the sidewall I have an '11 F250 6.7L PSD and on this truck I've used:

Continental Conti-Trac factory highway tires, They were quiet, rode well, wore well on the highway but weren't good on "slippery".

Nitto Trail Grappler they were great in wet heavy snow but were not great on ice/packed-snow, I avoid mud.

BFG AT KO2, Very good AT tire though not as good on the slippery as the Exo.

Nitto Terra-Grappler, my current "summer tires", very similar to BFG AT KO2 on pavement/gravel, haven't run them in mud or snow.

I just installed my 2nd set of Exo's, they 1st set went over 40K, probably still had some life left but I like "good" tires when slippery season arrives.

I have these on my Tacoma and they have been an excellent set of tires. I am very impressed with their snow and offroad capabilities. Siped, of course.

We have about 30k miles on a set on the wife's f150 too. Very happy with them, looking at them for my F250.

Local garage ordered Toto mt
I might drop down to 265s to give room for chains if need be.
My toyhauler is about 20miles in on gumbo.
Going in at night usually helps but it may still be mucky.
Last year a friend and I went in after hunting season and it looked like a 8 bottom plow had been pulled down the road.
Keeping out of the ruts was not remotely possible. No barrow ditches left either.
We have talked about building an entry vehicle from a 70s wagoneer or such.

You might wanna look into what the "AT" stands for.

Yes you can.

Pathfinder AT's from Discount Tire. Thank me later.

Cheap, quite, long lasting, best AT tire I've ever had.

If you gave me a set of BFG's I'd give em back and buy theses. ^^^

I'd not fret tires but have mud-service chains if I thought there was ever a chance of having to get a toy-hauler/big trailer out of somewhere like that.

Thanks for tearing the fuuck out of our roads.......

You weren't using them anyway.

I just replaced a set of dura trac's with cooper st max. I think the goodyears were better. Most of my driving is on well lease roads

Actually, I went in at midnight below zero. My impact was negligible. But there is a definite cost to the local roads from hunting that does not get repaid.
I know some counties have started closing roads during hunting season because of the impacts. That issue will someday comeback on sportsman.

I still love my Kumho AT51s



I dont like true mud tires, suck in PA snow. I got 3 yrs outta these. Just got a new set a size bigger.



My Silverado loves em in the snow.
