I think most of the big names would be a safe choice. Personally, I went with a middle of the line AT from Les schwaub (west coast tire dealer). I later found out I way overpaid, I won't say how much.

I run cooper discover AT/R - But they were free (new)..otherwise I would have done bridgestone. But the cooper tires are great, no issues with them.

I love my duratracs, I know many people who have good luck with goodyear, cooper, toyo, and hankook. Nowadays its all preference, I don't think there are to many successful tire companies that produce bad products anymore.

I first got them because of the look but they eat sand, mud, and snow like no other. They handle loads well and for how soft they are they harden with miles. At the first rotation I was looking at only getting 20,000 miles out of them now that number can be doubled or more. Mine one and only gripe is ice. They don't like it without the studs in. I met someone who had a studded set on a 2500 2wd work van and loved them in the snow. Prefered that over his 4wd pickup.

Those do look good.

I’m about to go out an get two quads so it only seems fitting having the tow vehicle able to handle the dirt roads

I’m going to look into getting them and selling off my coopers (they only have 10k miles on em)

I have goodyear wranglers. They're great off road, but on the road they are a bit noisy and seem like they could and should be better. They also only have about 20,000 miles on them and look like they've got maybe 7,000 more to go.

They don't look bad though.






I'm hoping to pick up a set of R/T wheels eventually and get some new tires then.
