Have a good look at the Mickey T 4 rib, only heard good of them
other than them BFG a/t give good mileage

[oncedisturbed]

I run bravo 285/70/17's at on mine and they get good mileage and average offroad. Looking at a set of BFG at's for my next set as they have a more aggressive tread without being in the muddie range

I run Kumho KL78 road venture tyres in 285/75/16

Had them almost 3 months now and very happy with them.

edit: Oh and expect around the $230-$250ea for these in a 285/75/16

General grabber all terrains on the mrs maverick wagon , so far they've been the best all terrain we've had on it.
The wagon is driven daily on mainly gravel come clay come mud roads an these tyres have been faultless.

I recently switched from the BFG A/T to the Cooper A/T3. The BFG's were good and are used by a tonne of people. I got about 80,000k's out of them and rotated them fairly regularly. My only comment, and I'll qualify it, is that towards the end though they started to go a bit hard and lose a bit of traction. When I say they went a bit hard, I suspect it was probably to do with age as they were 8 or 9 years old, but they were still in 'legal' condition. Other tyres do this too, so I am not bagging the BFG at all. The new Cooper AT3 also seem good and perhaps would shed water on the bitumen a bit better than the BFG.

A mate has the General Grabber and rates them well for an all purpose tyre, and another mate has the Cooper STMaxx and is very happy with them. The STMaxx is obviously the more aggressive of the lot, but isn't a noisy tyre.

Good luck, so many options, it probably comes down to price.

I run Pro-comp exteme a/t's (285/75/16), have done near on 100k and still got heaps of tread, cant fault them on and off road.

I can't remember what mine are called I think they're Maxxis 751s. Great in road, no noise and grip awesome. Great on rock and dirt but useless in mud. I use them as my daily tyres and they are great for it. Done about 20,000kms and about 25-30% worn

Trying to use Motorculture

I have Goodyear Wrangler A/T's and they are nothing to write home about... very expensive and I am glad I paid bugger all for them..

[Cuppa]

Recently put on Bridgestone D697's. They don't look as aggressive as some due to not having a 'square block' tread pattern, but nevertheless seem reasonable on slippery surfaces & look a bit 'chunkier' in the flesh than in pics. Haven't had them in deep mud, but on wet slippery tracks with a muddy & grassy surface & surface water they managed well. Quiet on bitumen, & seem fine on gravel roads. No idea how well they will last, but am happy with my choice at present.

[Pezzer]

The TSL Super Swamper is an aggressive tyre but use hearing protection when on the bitumen.

What terrain mix are you going to be driving? What is the vehicle being used for? They are the first things you need to understand before making any decisions.
As you probably know, there are AT tyres to suit more blacktop use all the way through to those that work ok (note I only said ok) in mud.
Understand what you'll be using the vehicle for and we'll probably be able to narrow your choices a bit better.....

Cheers,
Drew.

Has anyone tried the Yokohama Geolander ATS?

The guy from the tyre shop highly recommended these as they performed well in the 4WD action comparison a while back, and they come with a replacement warranty protecting against damage (including sidewall). I just couldn't go past the BFG A/T's though, I've had them before and they were faultless.

Wow, $90 extra a rim to go from a 265 to a 285.... That's a fair chunk of cash right there.....
