All-Terrain Tire Reviews
Hi everyone. I plan on getting a new set of tires soon, 275/65-20. I want something that has a somewhat aggressive look, good handling and not loud. I currently have the Terra Grapplers, and I’m okay with sticking with those but they are not my favorite.
Keep in mind, I drive 90%+ city/highway, but I definitely want an AT as I do hunt and fish but that’s mostly dirt/gravel and when it rains some mud (obviously).
I had Cooper ATPs on my previous SUV and I loved them, however at 40-45 mph they had a very loud drone. Never really bothered me but passengers didn’t always love it.
Im looking into either:
BFG A/T KO2
My concern with these is simply the ride noise. I know it’s a great tire overall.
Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain A/T
These are a Discount Tire exclusive so I am unable to find many reviews on them. Again main concern is ride noise, but if anyone has any information/experience with these I’d appreciate it.
Stay with the Nitto Terra’s
Toyo Open Country A/T II
I think I’ve talked myself out of these. They’re the most expensive of the listed options, and though they are long lasting, I have read a LOT of reviews stating that they’re not good in wet conditions. So for the price, I think one of the other three would suffice. But feel free to change my mind!
Thank you in advance for your help! It’s hard to make a decision without having prior experiences.

I'd recommend the Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I have them on my truck and have barely noticed a difference in noise between them and the General Grabber HTS tires that were on it when I bought it. They perform admirably in the desert and I haven't yet gotten stuck in mud in my 2wd. Nice and aggressive looking too

Have a look at Ironman All Country AT. Price is very reasonable, excellent reviews, they ride and handle about like a set of Michelins, and there is very little noise. Not nearly enough to be annoying IMO. Read the reviews. They are mostly good to excellent. Don't know how many miles they are good for. I just got 'em.

Little late to the party but Boating mag did a review on offroad all terrain tires. Obviously trailer towing and traction on wet ramps were their biggest concern. The tires tested were on a F150 FX4 in 275/55/20. The best compromise for a passenger car ride, wet or dry traction, low noise, were the Yokohama Geolander. I've had several sets of those from Discount Tire and you'll be hard pressed to get a tire that you can run offroad and yet get a nice quiet ride out of them. Obviously these Yokos are not rated for running a baja race but as long as you have a clue how to drive offroad, they will serve you well. FWIW, my little brother drives ranches all day. The Coopers won't last him a year. The rubber compound literally falls off of the carcass from rocks cutting it. He runs the K02s on a Tacoma. And that trucks rides like a stiff legged mule.
