I’m on my 2nd set and no issues at all for me. I put a set on my wife’s truck and she never complained about them eithe.

Michelins for me, load range E

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.

I use to run bfgs and got cooper at's this year.There a lot better in mud but sling rocks like crazy

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.

I just put the rugged treks on the 350, 275/65/20 E

do a search without your vehicle and just cooper rugged trek.

try the falkken wild peak at3, great tread life and good on all surfaces, not too bad in mud.

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.
