P265/70 R16, 2013 Nissan Frontier, SV V-6, 4-door, stock suspension. Currently has some crapper Provider Entrada A/T tires (previous owner) which are noisy as can be and probably costing me gas mileage. I want highway tires that are QUIET.
I'm considering, from Discount Tire:
Continental Terrain Contact H/T 70,000 mile warranty
Michelin Defender LTX M/S 70,000 mile warranty
Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT 65,000 mile warranty
Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast HT 70,000 mile warranty
Any current problems with Goodyear? BFGoodrich?? Bridgestone???

Just put on Goodyear dura treks on my 1/2 ton Chevy. Only been on a couple trails and no complaints so far. Was really interested in Goodyear WRANGLER ULTRATERRAIN AT But those are a discount tire exclusive and we don’t have one nearby.

Defender and be done with it. Rated the quietest of highway tires, long lasting and likely to be round.

I just went through the tire buying crap. My friend has a tire shop and made me a good deal on some off brand tires. I had a week of pure hell. I had them road force balanced twice and two different front end shops look at my Toyota Tacoma and found nothing wrong to cause a vibration. It had a vibration in the steering wheel at 55-65 MPH. Finally my friend said he would refund my money and I bought Goodyear Wrangler Ultra AT's and now my truck runs and drives better than ever and its an 08 model. It cost almost twice as much but well worth it.

OP looking at 4 highway tires. 3 recommendations for AT tires and one recommendation that's not one of the 4 on the list. We may not be a very bright group, be we sure are unhelpful.

Geolander A/T 015. Best light truck tire out the there.

Micheline Defender LTX M/S 70,000 mile warranty Michelins are expensive for a reason, they are the best tire made. Michelin does not make a great off road tire, but for hiway use, they last longer, more miles have fewer failures, flats/blowouts.

For highway use, Micheline LTX. That is the easy button and the far better choice over the others. Goodyears are nice until you put 20k on them and I won't drive in something with Dunlops.

I have Michelin Defender LTX on my F250 and will continue buying the same. For my Toyota 4runner, I'm on my 3rd set of Yokohama Geolander and have been very happy with them.

I need tires before the winter. I'm either going with the Micheline Defender LTV or the BF Goodrich AT KO2's. I'll probably end up with the Michelines because of the longer warranty and they are quieter. The most off roading I do is in a corn field for goose hunting. I think they will be fine for that.

The Michelin LTX is a poor choice for mud.

I wouldn't put a Cooper tire on my wheelbarrow let alone my truck.
Had two of them peel the tread off like a cheap re-cap at 70mph. The first one only did about $2,500 worth of damage to my truck.
The second one did $6,000. I am surprised the truck didn't roll over on the second, since it pitched the truck sideways and slid down the highway quite a ways before I got it straightened back out.
When the first one failed, Cooper said the tires were not recalled, but gave me one new one. When the second one failed, they changed their mind and said that lot was indeed recalled.
At the time, there was a law firm that did NOTHING but sue Cooper Tires for failures. I haven't looked lately, but back then, Cooper tires had so many recalls, I'm surprised they are still in business.

Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.

Tony I had a similar bad experience with a Cooper fail. Luckily, no significant damage.
