Truck is a Nissan Frontier. It’s a fairly light truck with a ton of torque. Driving is a mix of highway, northeast slush, snow and ice, rain. Light offroading that involve more snow, slush, and mud when out hunting. The one positive I don’t have to worry about is daily driving, taking the train into town everyday but I’d still like decent mpg and treadwear. What say you? Any positives or negatives about any of these.
I have Cooper AT3s & they’re the worst tire I’ve ever owned. Despite the aggressive tread pattern, the traction in snow & mud is terrible. The only positive I found is that they’re quiet on the highway. I’ve had good luck with Bridgestone REVOs & BFG All Terrain T/A’s. I shouldn’t have switched.
They are meatier than the others you’re looking at, but they look a little more tame in person. I’ve recommended them to a few people. They do well in just about every condition, especially snow. Nice long tread life. YMMV, literally! I do a lot of off roading, so I usually want a tread that cleans out well. Good luck.
I’ve had completely the opposite experience. I didn’t buy them to be a mud tire, but they’ve worked fantastic in snow and on ice…something I have 6 months out of the year. I feel the same way about BFG AT’s that you do the Coopers …
Well I guess we cancel each other out then. I know besides myself, two other people I’ve talked to, locally to me, had similar experiences. I won’t be purchasing them again. Wanna buy a used set? Plenty of tread left…
I will say the BFGs are great til about half the tread depth, then they start to drop off. They’re expensive too. That’s why I’m going back the the Revo’s.
The Bridgestone Revo AT 2. Great grip on pavement and decent in the snow and stuff. Run them on our Jeep and my wife’s RDX.
Dis-recommend the Goodyears. Rubbers doesn’t seem very sticky. Actually I’ve been disappointed with every Goodyear tire I’ve tried, including sport tires.
The Pirelli Scorpions were decent but not as good as the Revo ATs. A little squirmy in comparison. I hear the LTX ATs are OK as well.
Dunno about the others, but I’ve been running the Revo ATs and now Revo AT2s for years w/o interest in looking for an alternative.
Don’t let the looks fool you. They’re are probably the quietest and longest lasting LT tire on your list. They’re phenomenal tires and after going through tons I’m not going to put anything else on a 4x4 until someone develops something superior because IMO nothing in existence currently is even close when it comes to all-around tires.
I recently had my Toyota SR5 4Runner (V-8) outfitted with new Michelin LTX M/S2 tires. They are probably the best ones I have ever owned. The originals were Goodyears.
My dad had a Dodge ram 2500 diesel with some BFG All Terrain TA’s that went almost 80k miles, he switched to some Revo’s and I think they were shot after 35-40k miles. He rotates tires every 5k miles and checks his pressure weekly, he’s a bit anal about tires. Revo’s were run under the same conditions as the BFG AT’s. He went back to the BFG’s and they had 40k ish on them when he sold the truck and still looked great.
I have BFG All Terrain TA’s on my Wrangler TJ. Lots of Jeep guys run them. Not a great off road mud tire, but they arent designed to be either. Mine have done great in the snow, although we dont get a TON here in Missouri. They have done pretty dang good off road when aired down too, again not as good as a true MT tire, but I dont expect them to do as good.
I don’t know much about tires but I have Toyo Open Country all terrains on my truck and they are great. They are very quite and I have used them in snow, mud, highway, dirt etc. and they have performed excellently. I had them on my truck since about 65k and now have 91k and they still look brand new.
I just put a set toyo open country a/t II Xtreme on my 4x4 f150 and they are very quiet and ride great. Street manners are awesome. Haven’t had them off road yet.
Have had these on my 4Runner for a year now, and still look new. My friend who runs a tire shop recommended them after hearing all the positive feedback from guys using them on work trucks in the oil fields. Very quiet for an A/T tire, great traction and stability.
