Which "All Terrain Tires" should I consider for my half ton truck with 20" wheels? Thanks! I have had good results with BFG AT KO's, been running them for years. My tire guy wanted me to try out some Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's on one of my trucks, and after about 10k miles I have been pleasantly surprised with the ride and wear.

Toyo AT3 were awesome on my tundra 4x4. They are made in USA. Last a long time too. I had 285/65-20’s. Went to buy another set and they went to $400 a tire from our wholesaler. I now have some cheap [censored] Atturo AT’s in the same size. They “look smaller”, ride great, are quiet, and stick ok.

I had falkens that I liked a lot but price went up enough that I went with nokian (discount tire recommended) and am real happy with them so far. the nokians have a 60,000 mi. warranty and the tread is quiet on the road. I run a 285/75/18 (34") they are made in norway I think. the falkens went their full mileage plus some and still had tread left, they were 50,000 mi.

Thanks for the replies so far. Anyone tried Coopers AT? I had them on my previos truck but sold it with 30k on them. They performed well on and off road. I wanted to get the Rugged Treks for the Tundra but in my size they did not offer a D or E rating. I also wanted to try Discount's Goodyear AT but same issue as the Coopers. So i went with the KO2s. I know the KO2s will perform well on the rocky roads at tge deer lease.

BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2s Rotate every 10,000 miles and you can get 90,000 miles easy.

I will say that tires respond differently to vehicles. I used to run F-250/350's and it absolutely ate through BFG's but it liked Yokohama to the tune of about 30k miles difference in the tread life.

I have had nitto, cooper, falken and now nokian, the falken were far better than the cooper or nitto. falkens got the mileage plus some (over 50k).
would have put the falken back on but the price went up and budget wouldn't take it, the nokians seem to be really good and have a 60k tread warranty.
nitto wore out way too fast, cooper fell short of their mileage but not by much, falkens handled wet roads really well and did good around the ranch.
I run 285/75/18 on a 14 f150

Thanks for all the information! I decided to try some Nitto Ridge Grappler tires because my local family-owned tire store had a good deal on them. Maybe I will have good luck with them, thanks again!

I've had good luck with Nitto Ridge Grapplers. My son put 50+k before I traded his F150 and still had decent tread left.

Sounds like the Pirellis I put on a F150 Supercrew. They were shot at 27k. The wife drove it for the most part so I figured it was her. She only knows 2 pedals. She wears out brake shoes in 30k. I replaced the OEM BFGs on my truck at 65k. They would have made 70 easily but deer season was close and some of the roads where I hunt are pretty gnarly.

My 7400lb f250 had bfgs with 30k on them when I traded and still had very good tread left. Would make 50k miles easy which is 10k more than the stock Michelins. And I use my trucks like a truck. These 90k mile people either drive a Ridgeline or might haul a loaf of bread at most.

Yeah yeah whatever. Please explain to us how your 12ft flat bottom with 20lb tongue weight stresses your 3/4 ton. Truth is, you 90k tire guys rank up their with the guys claiming 15mpg towing 20k lbs at 80mph. Ain't happening under normal conditions.

While you're at it, would you mind posting your pics of Nessie and Bigfoot making out? Along with the tread left on your tires? Both are hard to see.

I put around 35,000 miles a year on mostly commuting around DFW. Pull a Ranger 519 Comanche boat every weekend.

I never could get mileage out of BFGs, had 2 sets. I also noticed a MPG drop with the AT KOs. Nittos and Toyo got better wear and MPG. I can get 60+k from the toyos.
But the BFG AT KOs is better in the mud. IMO

Once the All Terrains were out going with Michellins. They have been the best tires for me. 100k on the last set. Traded the truck with them. Still had 10,000 miles left.

Some of the Good Years on the Chevy's Crew Cabs only get about 25,000 . I guess they are soft compound for a better ride

Interesting you are getting a different experience. My 2 cents Toyo Open Country AT2's. Got 65K on mine, rotate every oil change and got 1 more year left.

I get 65 to 70k out of the BFGs. When comparing MPGs between tires you need to look at weight. Heavier tires will lower your MPGs. BFGs are OK at best in the mud. Probably the best ATs for mud are Duratracs.

I subscribe to Consumer Reports. I figure that I have personal experience with a handful of tires. These guys take no marketing money and buy products themself then have an expert panel rate the tires.
I looked up all terrain truck tires and the number one rated tire was Continental TerrainContact A/T Tire and the tire that came in second was Michelin LTX A/T2 Tire. The standout areas that the Continental beat the Michelin in the tests were in dry and wet braking, and noise. Michelin's beat the Continentals in Hydroplaning, Mileage and rolling resistance. There was only two points separating these two so if you pick on over the other, life is still good.
Hopes that this helps if someone seeks solid info from this slightly older thread.

Granted a lot of people own pavement princess' but the problem I see with CRs ratings is they evaluate a tire on its pavement ride. That is fine for a highway tire but a lot of us use our trucks off road and need an aggressive tire with more tread.

The op asked about all terrain tires. Consumer reports did a review on "all terrain tires" so I thought that I would share. I don't subscribe to an off road publication, but I bet it you could find something that they did on tires, that might be better for what you are looking for. I run up and down a logging road or two with the truck, but no rock crawling here.

I run mud tires. I usually just get whatever has good reviews and is on clearance online somewhere. The other thing is I always opt for a 10 ply tire.

So I am looking for a little more bite for my 2005 Toyota 4Runner V8-4wd. Have run the original factory Michelins for awhile now, but ready for more chew now. What says the experts?

V8 in a four 4Runner?? I would consider the Falken Wildpeek's. My wife does not have a 4WD but if she did, these would be on it.

Four runners had the 4.7 V8 as an option back in the mentioned time frame. My brother had one and still probably would if didn't get totaled. The V8 was only available for a few years and went away when the 4.0 V6 came out.

Depends on how much more chew you want. Discount has an exclusive Goodyear Wrangler AT that has an fairly aggressive tread. I was going to try them but they they don't make a D or E in the size I wanted. Also looked at Cooper Rugged Treks but same issue. Duratracs are one of the most aggressive ATs out there and I have heard, but not confirmed, that they are making them with a stronger sidewall. BFG KO2s are very tough tires but not the best mud tire. I run them because my primary need in an off road tire these days is something that can hold up to the rocky roads on deer lease.

Check for clearance sales on Walmart.com. As long as you aren’t a brand loyalist you can get some good stuff for cheap. I heard somewhere once that they’re usually a new but maybe 2 year old tire and that’s why they’re on clearance, but I can’t verify that. Supposedly tires only have a life of about 7 years but I’ll chew up a set in 2 so it doesn’t matter to me. I will say cooper makes a good tire, but my experience with them (and Goodyear as well) on my vehicle is that they just don’t last very long. Even when I rotate mine I’ve never gotten more than 35-40k out of a tire.

So I am looking for a little more bite for my 2005 Toyota 4Runner V8-4wd. Have run the original factory Michelins for awhile now, but ready for more chew now. What says the experts? Depends on how much more chew you want. Discount has an exclusive Goodyear Wrangler AT that has an fairly aggressive tread. I was going to try them but they they don't make a D or E in the size I wanted. Also looked at Cooper Rugged Treks but same issue. Duratracs are one of the most aggressive ATs out there and I have heard, but not confirmed, that they are making them with a stronger sidewall. BFG KO2s are very tough tires but not the best mud tire. I run them because my primary need in an off road tire these days is something that can hold up to the rocky roads on deer lease. I just put the rugged treks on the 350, 275/65/20 E do a search without your vehicle and just cooper rugged trek.

I just put the rugged treks on the f350, sort of a combo at/mt tread and should be great here at the ranch.

I'm on my 3rd Tacoma since 98...........should've hung onto the first two,anyway I've been running Toyo tires for as long as I can remember,Open Country A/T's in particular for the last 20 years.I usually get 60-65k out of them if rotated every 5k.In all those years I've hauled 18' bass sleds to my current 22' CC behind my 2011 4 door 4wd Tacoma.All 3 Tacoma's came with factory General's or Michelin's..........all [censored],never got more than 40k out of any of them.Now for all you guys with great big jacked up 250/350's and tiny appendages your mileage may vary.

When I took the truck to them they installed Goodyear MTRs instead of Duratracs. I noticed it when got home. They wanted me to come in and change them out. I explained that I was loading up to head to the deer lease to fill feeders. They said fine keep them if you want or exchange when you get back. The MTRs are quite a bit more $$s then Duratracs. I thought about keeping them after putting them through some serious testing on lease. I have run a lot of MTs and the MTRs are absoluting the loudest roughest running tires I have ever run. If I had a dedicated ranch truck I would definitely run them. After a month went back and got the Duratracs.

Duratrcs are the noisiest tires I've ever owned. It'll be my last set.
