well I will put my 2-cents in. I have Bridgestone Dueler A/t Revos II's. they are semi- aggressive but have a bit of a Humm on the highway that can ba irratating.

BFG A/T KO are not bad, same as above a little hummy, but they have the tendency to wear unevenly.

Coopers are a great tire, you can't really go wrong with most of their options.

Hanook Dynapro ATM seem to be popular here, I haven't personally run them, but they seem to wear even and are semi-aggressive

Best tires I have ever had on my vehicles Yokohama Geolander A/T's (this is merely my personal opinion) and if I could trade my Duelers for Yokos... I would in a heartbeat.

but as they say opinions are like ******* everyone has one, just take your time and do your research, heck I have asked guys in parkinglots at the HomeDepot if they liked their tires.

I've had good luck with my Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/Ts from Wal-Mart. They clean out well, have an excellent bite in off road conditions, hum a bit on the highway, and wear very well.

For every condition that I see: dry pavement, wet pavement, standing water, snow, ice, dirt, mud, gravel, neighbor's lawn, etc...the best tire I have used is the Goodyear Duratracs.

I have had: Goodyear Wrangler SR-As (factory tires), Firestone Destination A/Ts, Goodyear Wrangler Authorities (Wal-Mart), and the Goodyear Duratracs.

Other good A/Ts are the Hankook Dynapro A/Ts, BFG A/Ts.

Good M/Ts are: BFG KM2, Hankook Dynapro M/T, Cooper Discoverer STT M/T

Cooper STT are the best I have seen for a mud tire, if you daily drive with it. They wear good with on road use and are excellent for off road as well.

As far as a A/T tire, I loved my Cooper Disc. AT/3, Ran them for about 25,000 miles and only lost 2/32 of an inch. Were all around excellent tires.

If you off road a lot look in to Mickey Thompson MTZ's, suppose to be good tires.

Hankook DynaPro ATM. I paid around $98/tire back when I bought them at Discount Tire. Not too good in the wet, but the wear evenly and grip off road very well. Down here in south Texas they're great, because it rarely rains, and I drive alot of gravel roads.
