I love Duratracs.

Goodyear MT/R. Runs truer to size, D rated, less weight.
I am running Toyo Open Country ATIIs. Toyo recently released the AT3, jury is out. Love my ATIIs, very nice low wear so far, feel great and do what I need them to do. If you need an M/T, heard great things about the Toyos as well as the Goodyear MT/R.

I'm happy with my Maxxis Razr on the daily driver, they balance well and are fairly quiet. Only 40,000 km in but so far so good. Got Yokohama G003 MT on the 40 but haven't driven enough on them to comment too much
What criteria are you looking for?
BFG KM3, or Copper STT Pros
Depends on intended use.
For a daily driver in the northeast, I like Duratracs. Good in all weather conditions, including the mashed potato snow/slush we get around here. Well behaved on dry blacktop. OK for mild trail use.
They get noisy as they wear down, but tires are a consumable item.

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
Generally speaking, you won't go wrong with any of the tires above unless you drive off road where rocks, sticks and stumps are present. If so, stay away from the Duratracs as they have thin sidewalls. I am a BFG fan but many of the locals love the Tera Graplers.
My MileStar Patagonia M/Ts have been nothing but impressive. Also much less cost that many other options available if that floats your boat.
See “2020 Tire Thread” from 80’s forum last week (I don’t yet know how to include the link, sorry). It has a pretty good exchange of info and some other tire thread references.
Very happy with my Toyo as well
My Falken AT3W tires have never left me stranded in Baja, Moab, or CO.
Forgot to mention, a lot of us out here run Falkens with great results.
Stay away from the Falken MT, at least in my experience on the 80. I'm currently running the Yoko MTs and like them a lot. So far I have run Goodyear, Falken, Yoko and el cheapo Federal MTs on my 80. I've run BFG AT's also. The Falken MT is the only one I would never run again. Very heavy. Weak sidewalls. Terrible chunking.

OK, so I did search and read all the tire threads I could find but did not find any recent ones. My '94 is a daily driver with frequent use on old unmaintained forest road type stuff but not much real offroading. Some snow use, no mud. Where are we at for tires in 2020?

I have liked the KO2 in the past, and currently running the new Toyo AT3. Liked the AT2, and these are supposed to be that much better in wet/snow/etc with the new compound, my main “need.” Can’t really go wrong with any name brand so long as the tire is suited to your needs
Maxxis razr on my rig right now. Super nice option to consider.
Thanks Spenser. How do you insert a previous thread into a current one? (Yes, I’m a little embarrassed to ask)2020 Tire Thread

All good! Just paste the link itself, and the forum embeds it that way. On my phone I usually open the thread in a new tab & copy from the URL bar
