Call me cheap but I want to get the most life out of a tire but have a good wet traction.. My stock SR-A tires are about DONE!!! Been looking at these 3 tires.. Bridgestone Revo 2s  General Grabber AT2  BFG AT KO  If you have other tires that will work better, let me know.. |

Firestone Destination A/Ts. It is a more agressive tread design than the Revo, but they are made from the same compunds / technology. Bridgestone owns Firestone now. I have no problems with road noise and I have run them 2 years now with no complaints or problems. When these go I am looking at the Firestone Destination M/Ts to replace them. |

I have had the bfg and currently have the generals... bfgs lasted 60K for me, and generals currently have 33K on them. I personally liked the bfg better, but money wise, the generals are great. much cheaper, but not a cheaply produced tire. if i had to do it again, whcih i will in about 25-30K i would go with the generals b/c of the amount spent on them. |

I have the General Grabber AT2 on my rig and I love them on the road. Off road they are no MT but they are pretty good for an AT off road too. I know many people with the Destination AT and love them as well. Two good tires. Just my

Another vote for the Firestone Destination A/Ts. I am looking at the Firestone Destination M/Ts to replace them when the A/Ts are done too. |

Besides the crappy stock tires I have had the Firestone Destination ATs Kumho KL78s BFG ATs Goodyear Duratracs For a DD then the best for the ride / cost etc is the Destinations with the Kumhos next For me though my favorites so far are the Duratracs, but they are not what most would call an AT |

If you want a really good long lasting A/T tire get a set of Michelin LTX A/T2. If you treat then right (proper inflation, rotation, etc.) you will go forever on them. My father had a set on his GMC Sierra and put 120000 miles on them before he replaced them. They still had some life left in them tread wear wise but had started to crack due to age as they were about 7-8 years old. |

Grabber At2 or Destination AT. Dura Trac if you need something more aggressive. |

Grabber AT2's are awesome I loved how they wore and where pretty decent anywhere off-road. I've also ran Wrangler Silent Armours------> I hated them garbage off-road Wore extremely fast but where A-1 in the snow on the street. Hopefully my new tire works as good on the Libby as it has on many trucks around my work. Pro-Comp Extreme A/T

I have the Grabbers, and love them. Good on road with good wet grip (important in England  ), good on snow and good off-road, including some pretty soft ground (although we were not in very muddy conditions). If you live in an area which gets a lot of snow and ice, they also have the holes in to fit studs.
