About to purchase my 3rd set. Truck has 160K miles and I've had Goodyear Wranglers (trash) that came with the truck, 1st set purchased was Bridgestone Dueler A/T, 2nd set purchased was Firestone Destination A/T. Out of the three the Firestone's handled and lasted best. Just trying to get some more opinions. I drive high mileage so tread life is important but still need to be able to go offroad with an all terrain tread from time to time. Any and all experiences would be appreciated.

I've had great results with the cooper AT3. I rotate with every oil change and have 48000 miles on them now and lots of tread left.

I don't know a lot about AT tires but Firestones and Coopers in MT last a long time on 1/2 tons

FYI I bought mine online. Tread depot beat all local prices. Got my local tire shop to mount and balance ($50 for a set of 4)

I put the Cooper STT Maxx on my truck. I ordered them online and when they showed up, they were a little more aggressive than I had hoped but I rolled with it. They are great tires and ride real smooth with little noise.

I have these on my Sierra and I've been extremely happy with them. I'd also recommend the Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S. I had the on my truck when I bought it and got almost 70k miles on them

I'd be ecstatic with that, cant seem to get much more than 50K on whatever I buy.

I have BFG Rugged Terrains on my f150 4x4. BFG offers 50K tread warranty. I only have about 7k on them now. P rated so they are not heavy and ride well. went up from 32 to 33" and lost less than 1mpg (re-calibrated gauges). The wife hasn't noticed a change in ride or noise

All terrains and offroad really doesn't compute if offroad involves mud. AT's suck at self clearing. I work in the pipeline business and my only real option is running mud tires and rotating to get maybe 40K, plus having a Warn on the front bumper.

I have those on my Jeep. Maybe 8-10k miles on them, and they still look brand new, except for being dirty. They handle well in rain, snow, and loose dirt just fine. I haven't been in any mud in them though. Went from a 30x9.50 to a 31x10.50 and no real noticable difference in MPG either. They're really more of a highway tire with some A/T tendencies. Perfect for the driving that I do.

Put some mud tires on that Ford. Little bma28 will need something to take mudriding in a few years.

I'm hoping his "parrain" can pass down a vehicle for him.

I've got a 2013 Lariat that I need to start thinking about tires for. Might go up a size or so. What fits (AT?)

Cooper AT3, I'll probably never even consider another tire.

I've got 305/55R20 on my 2013 F150 with a leveling kit. They don't rub at all.

solid but too pricey, comparable brands for a lot less.

think i'm up to 55k on mine and still have at least another 10-15k on them. only other tire i'd consider is the Michelin LTX AT2.

The cooper works will in the rain, is pretty quiet and is good enough to work at the camp. it obviously has good tread life as well...

That a 35" tire right? No fender work either?
