I am curious what everyone is finding as the best all round at / rt tire for the western us.
I really think most of the major players are making great tires nowadays. I think certain tires will suit certain individuals better.
For those who travel in the west.
So, hot dusty summers, periods of ice and snow in the winter, muddy springs and roads with lots pavement in between. Trips to Baja . I am curious what you are having the best luck with.
I have run the Baja boss, Cooper st maxx, Cooper at3, toyo at3, falken wildpeak at3w, , duratrac and Firestone m/t .
I can say I think the Firestone and the Cooper st maxx / copper at3 are some of the toughest tires I have run ( also the best looking IMO). They are ok in light fluffy snow but horrible if it's really wet or frozen.
The Duratracs are great in the wet and cold stuff, but I find them to chew up quick in the gravel.
Toyo AT3 were good tires, but that was just it. I also found after about 20k's they really lost their luster and got more slippery.
The Baja Boss are a great tire but I find them to be so ugly. The sidewall to me is just hard to look at.
Probably my favorite was the at3w but they dont make them any more. I know there is the at4w but in the LT sizes I have heard a lot of complaints about how bad they are in the frozen stuff.
