I know this has been covered time and time again but like a little assistance in choosing my tire.

The tires will primarily be used for commuting but I wouldn't mind them being able to put up with an occasional off-roading adventure. Nothing crazy, just enough to get her dirty and have some fun. I am from southeastern PA and will be seeing snow which is one of the primary reasons I picked up the X. Good traction in the snow is a must.

Of course the BFG's would be a great choice. My dad has them on his tacoma and loves them which supports a lot of what I have read on here. However, the price is a little steep for me. I am not trying to go cheap-o on tires but I did just spend a good bit of money on the truck not too long ago.

I have heard good things about the Firestone Destination A/T or Hankook DynaPro ATM. Also the Cooper Discoverer stt and Nitto Terra Grappler had made my list.

My mind is mostly sold on the Hankook's but I wanted to get a few peoples suggestions before going this route. In a previous post I was in, Pathfinder all terrains were suggested and were enjoyed by the owner. Has anyone else used this tire?

Thanks,
Jay6terra

I have hankook tires. They're street tires tho. And ive hit a few potholes and curbs. no blow-outs yet. haha.

There are a lot of really great tires to choose from. I would first recommend a dedicated winter tire. This will make a hug difference in temperatures below 45 degrees. If this is not in the cards for you this year here's a few AT tires I would recommend taking a look at. Hankook RF10 ATM - These have a 50,000 mile warranty in the P-Metric sizes (all non LT). These are smooth and quiet for an AT on the highway and they do very well in moderate off-road conditions. Nitto Terra Grappler - These are an outstanding AT tire, there is no mileage warranty on the Terra Grappler but the reviews for life on Mid sized SUV's are great. These also have a great agressive look to them. Lastly, I'd recommend the Goodyear Dura Trac - These are flying off the shelf right now due to them being winter rated. These are an All terrain that can be studded in the winter months if you like, they have an agressive tread and they can take a beating. Some consider this tire a hybrid AT/MT.

Let us know if we can help. We would love to earn your business. Anyone here would be happy to quickly run through your size options. 1.888.459.4080. BTW congrads on the new rig!

This is what I have... quiet on the street, they wear really nice and they were easy on the wallet... I also use them for the ocasional wheeling trip and they work great in the mud!

I just got the Adventuro AT IIs...I love them and they were inexpensive...mounted and balanced for 436.....

Goodyear Duratrac. Awesome snow tire aggressive looks good price

Once I sell the wheels that were on my old car, I am going to be buying the hankooks. thanks for all the input

I just got some Bridgestone Duellers (684 H/T).. great for commuting and highway driving.

Ideally, I would have loved to get the Revo II's (http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Bridgestone&tiremodel=Dueler+A%2FT+Revo+2). They are getting great reviews.

Correction. I just got a "buy 3 get the 4th free" coupon from firestone. Might be going with the destination a/t instead.

I ended up going with the destination a/t's and so far have no complaints. They were easy and relatively cheap and now that they are on have little road noise and decent traction. Haven't tested them out off-road yet but would imagine them performing relatively well on easy-moderate terrain. Thank you everyone for the input.

I've read great reviews from tirerack.com and other sources about the Firestone Destination A/T's. I haven't owned a set but still. I hear alot of people buy them. Just my thoughts

Thanks. Yeah, its all been uphill after the marathon wait I had to get them put on. (Thank you "Mr. Tire"). I'll keep you posted on the off-roading capabilities once it warms up a bit.

I CAN ALREADY HEAR IT!

I Just picked up some Goodyear Wrangler Authority's from Wal-Mart. I was not to optimistic about them. My dad ran them for 10000 plus on his ford diesil before I bought them. They wear great. I have ran two pairs of yokohama geolander a/t 2. They are a damn good tire but pricey. I paid 720 out the door mounted and balanced. They also come with Free road side assistance (for flats or blow outs) and free off road assistance if you get stuck!(bolth free for two years through GoodYear). They wouldn't be backing them up that much if they were P.O.S's. They have a similar tread pattern to the GoodYear DynaPro's. So far I am impressed, the most agressive A/T tread I've seen. And gas milage is with in 1/2 of a mpg as before.

Hello, Most brands are great for street (street tires)....Michelins maybe the way to go...

We have been using "nothing but BFG's..for the last 20+ years...streets and lava fields of Big Island...where the Hotest lava flows on earth (2000 degrees)...

Keep in mind..reseach this further: The Load range factor...BFG's have a load range C ..making this a great heavy duty tire for streets and OFF roading...

Aloha, sidewalls....off roading...strengths are very important (load range)
