Probably going to get tons of reccos but My personal favorite (at this time) is the nitto terra grapplers. Didnt actually buy them, they were on the used F250 I bought. They have pretty aggressive tread, ride quiet, wear well, and stay in balance (20" rims). I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. My top choice was BFG all terrains in the past but the treat reformulation was causing them to wear out too quickly for my tastes.

 

I was a tried and true Terra Grappler fan with my F150 Super Crew, and my GM SUV, so I naturally went with the same on my F250.....To my surprise, ended up only getting 33k miles out of them. Everything was stock, only pulled a camper twice a year (250 miles per trip), and a 14' lawn trailer once a week during grass season... Rotated as advised, and was sorely disappointed.

Second set was Toyo Open Country AT-II, and they have been awesome! pushing 44k now, and still have a little left...

Was considering the Ridge Grapplers this go around...

 

+2 on the nitto terra grapplers, just had 296 65/20 put on a month ago on stock height 2014 F250 Lariat. Rides well, quiet and great traction.

 

Toyo Open Country or Hercules AT II. I have the Herc AT II ,is the best tires ive owned.

 

I'd guess I've gone through about 10 sets of BFG AT's but the latest set are my first KO2's and I'll be looking for something else next time. They're wearing faster and I'm having recurring balance issues. One of the tires was replaced under warranty because it wouldn't balance. Not sure what changes are in the KO2 but somebody at BFG didn't know better than to mess with a good thing!

 

BFG aint what they used to be.

Hercules is a hidden gem for sure.

 

I had some more highway type Kumhos on my 04 excursion that had better traction the my nitto terra grapplers. Toyo has always been good to me too,

I have never tried Hercules or general yet. I always hate buying tires I research and research til my eyes bleed!

 

I just put 295/70/r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on yesterday. Suppose to be a cross between AT and MT, look pretty aggressive. Found a good deal online for them ($298.00 each) and dealership matched price for me. Seem quiet and drive nice. Time will tell as snow will be flying here soon.

 

I have used Goodyear Duratracs on my last three trucks. Not only do I drive on highway but a lot of sand, rain, snow, and ice. I'm 52 and never had a better "all terrain " tire. I couldn't care less about looks all I want is performance and these are the best I've had. I drive in deep sand at my ranch loaded with horse trailer or what not and these tires are amazing. Drive in mud soaked roads, deep snow and couldn't be happier. As far as ice- doesn't really matter what you're running. This is my honest opinion and like I said- I put them to the test and couldn't be happier with their performance.

 

I've had duratracs on my work trucks before, AS you said they do grip goo, but they have always been a soft compound tire and wear way to fast and they don't like a lot of weight even though they are supposedly rated for it. They are on the $$$$ side too.

 

The stock Toyo AT2 has been great so far.

If I was going with an all terrain I would get either the Goodyear Duratrac, or DC fun country. Also the Mastercraft courser ct was an excellent tire but I dont think there made any more. My experience with the both the Nitto terra grapplers and Firestone at was not good. But Firestone does make a good MT.

 

I had 35 x 12.5 x 20 Falken WildPeaks on my 2006 F250. Those tires gripped well in rain, mud and snow. They were quiet and wore quite well.

 

I just ordered a set of DC Fun Country but haven't put them on yet because I am waiting on new wheels. They are supposed to be a cross between an AT and MT tire. Was considering the Nitto Ridge Grapplers but they won't be available in my size until December.

 

I don't think the duratracs are a bad tire but they do wear out fast compared to the majority of others unless you go super cheapy!

 

For what it's worth on the Duratracs- I pull a 4 horse loaded trailer constantly with no issues. Replaced a set at 47,000 miles. I rotate every 6000 miles and check pressure constantly.

 

I'm trying out the Nitto EXO Grappler AWT in stock 20" size. Been a decent riding tire, as always a tad more noise with the aggressive tread pattern.

 

I have the new Yokohama Geolander AT G015 tire. My first AT tire and I am quite happy. I was down to the Cooper Discoverer AT3 and the Nitto Duragrappler. The tire store had also suggested Hercules, they said that is was a great tire for the price. May try them next.

Cooper ST MAXX - great tire- hardly wearing at all, great price- great look

 

I've used Duratracs on my last two trucks. I just put a set on this one before winter. They work great for plowing. You do have to rotate them for them to last.

 

I've had great luck with the Duratracs as well, best snow tire I've ever used. Next set I really want to try the Cooper ST Maxx. I've also had pretty good luck with the Cooper AT3s

 

Duratrac's have more aggressive tread design than a regular AT, but they are still smooth on pavement.

 

I agree with the BFG comments. It was the only tire I would consider for my WV mud snow blacktop daily driver until they wore out faster than my blue jeans. I haven't found anything I'm that partial to yet.

 

Toyo open country AT2, great all season tires

 

I've had the same issues with the BFGs. That's all I ran on my Bronco and Suburban. Just switched the Suburban over to the Coopers AT. Treating me well so far. The stock tires only have 1800 miles and no off road use yet so I'm not sure how they work yet.

 

Sorry to see 10 years of diesel technology has not imporoved the average mpg of a powerstroke based on you fuelly banner.

 

You can thank the EPA for that. A deleted one does much better.
