I have run the Pro Comp AT and they were great tires...I put 265/75R16 on my 2004 Explorer that I had (stock was 235/70R16) and they looked awesome. Coopers are also great tires, but my experience with them is the S/T, which were also great tires.

I had Goodyear Duratrac on my 08. 295/75/18 If i remember well. Looked very agressive, wear was pretty good and they were great in snow and mud. Would totally buy again when the Pirelli's wear out on my 10. They are also snowflake all-season if its important for you, depends where you live of course.

I have read great reviews on these tires. The size im thinking about are the 295/65/18 and they come out to be just over 33 inches, perfect for stock rims and a leveled truck. I would have a set but just got engaged and have a wedding to pay for, . Also if you are going to be doing a lot of driving on the road and still want an aggressive looking tire then look into the Nitto Terra Grapplers, they are very smooth and still perform off road.

That was my setup. Stock wheel, level and aal in the rear. Lots of comment on how mean it looked. Most of my driving is on the road as well. Noise was minimal and wear excellent. But they're quite pricey. Well worth the money tho IMO.

I also have the Pro Comp All Terrains. They have a 50,000 mile guarantee and are severe weather rated. They do excellent in snow and ice, handle well and are very quiet on the highway. I am pleased with them and would purchase them again.

I've ran through 2 sets of Procomp A/T's. My first set was quiet and smooth and wore very well also.

But my 2nd set is still quiet but not so smooth. Traction is decent on them. I was told by a tire dealer that Procomp has other company's make their tires and that there not being made as well anymore.

I think I will try Nitto Terra Grappler's for my next set of tires. They seem pretty popular on this site.

My choice is the Toyo Open country A/T.

Look great, quiet, toyo quality. Last longer than some others...

Kelly Safari TSrs. Look awsome, like a mud tire. No louder than BFG ATs. Have been great in reain sleet, snow, and ice.I have about 1500 miles on mine so far, including about 250 miles of up to 11 inches of snow, and 70 miles of ice. I have been real happy with there performance. Not much off road, only a few "soft" field paths, on father in lawas farm. They cleary dug in and left a good tread outline on path.

Had them on my lifted Explorer and loved them. Will eventually get a set for my FX4.
