I'll throw in a vote for the Cooper Discoverer ATRs, just because I haven't run the other mentioned, so I can't speak for or against them.
No real road noise to speak of. Never got stuck in anything, although I don't go off-roading recreationally, I do sometimes end up in mud and such. Very good in snow. We got about 8" the other night and the roads hadn't been cleaned off by morning, I had no problems at all driving 45 minutes to go skiing.

Hands down, the best way to put it. Couldn't have said it better.

[QUOTE=Galaxy;4508424]I disagree. I have the MTR Kevlar and it is the best all-around, most capable tire I've ever had on a truck. Pick up a recent Peterson's 4WOR magazine and look at what tire almost every rig in there is running. Between this tire and the Silent Armour, it's arguable that GY is leading the industry right now with innovative, well thought out designed tires. The Kevlar is good everywhere and from what I've heard, the SA is more capable AT than the 'industry standard'. (which BTW, it amazes me that there's no more talk about the MTR around here than there is...I can't believe it's not getting popular...it performs as good as it looks)
that may be true i haven't heard anything bad about the MTR Kevlar but i was talking about the Duratracks. most of what i have heard of them is not very positive.thats why i said it's hit or miss. i had a couple of flats too one from a rock and another was a pin from a chain link connector. the guys at the tire shop were surprised that both had punctured the tire.

There is one tire that is so good on ice and show that many are putting them on their Mustangs so they can continue driving them through winter, a Studless Ice and Snow tire, the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1.

Really? Mine have been great in the gravel and ice, i am really impressed with them. I am the same, im off road just as im on and mine look brand new and are 2 years with 20k on them. My wifes step dad shredded 3 Goodyear RTS last year on one of the highways here due to the gravel/trap rock mix and my tires dont have a single chip out of them.
Also the Duratracs were the cheapest tire I could find for that size on a 18 inch rim. Everything was 380 to 450 CND while I picked up the tracs for 220 a tire.
But to each his own

Now if you want a good tire, all i can say is, BFG Radial Long Trail T/A. hahahahahahahaha. just jokin around but where i live, everyone has BFG all terrains. My brother had the nitto A/T and didnt last but like 15,000 miles. My dad had BFG A/T's and they lasted him 47,000. But its all on what you want, best looking, cost, and which do you do more of. Another tire i recommen is the Cooper Zeon LTZ. There considered a radial but one of my friends has them and there aggresive looking, and i seen them in mud, there a great tire to look at.

I got them from my local Goodyear dealer here in town, Royal Tire. They first quoted me at 265 a tire but talked them down to 220. Maybe they have gone up in price now, I picked them up when they first came out. Had to wait 2 weeks to get them, they were being gobbled up so much.
