Probably got 30K on a set of KO2s. They get noisy when the need rotating but nothing like an MT.

I'm a little disappointed in the wet pavement traction of them though.

I bought some Pirelli Scorpion A/T's about a year ago and they have been impressive so far when considering the price.

Worst I have put them through is a couple miles back in a cane field after the big rain we got 2 Fridays ago. For non-mud tires, they did great

BFG KO2.

Good for 80,000 miles. Nearing the end of the life of my second set.

Hardly ever get flats, never get stuck, just all around good.

I've been more impressed with Hankook AT/M's than any other tire I've run in a long, long time.

but having said that, I'm going to give Falken WildPeak's a try when it's time for new tires

I sell tires for a living and I would highly recommend the Cooper AT3/Road&Trail or the Cooper Rugged Trek's. I just had a guy come in to get a new set of Cooper RT's and he had over 100k on his old set. It was all highway miles and they were there was little tread left but that's insane for a tire like that. There are other good brands as well, but for the price, you can't beat the Cooper's.

Big cooper AT3 fan here. I generally get 80k+ on a set and replace them before they really need it.

Truck Tire Recommendations
Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Best tires I've put on a 1/2 ton truck.


Switched to these from BFG K02s. The ride is so much better- smoother/less noisy. Really happy with them. Better traction as well, especially wet.

Had the Falken Wildpeak AT3 on my F150. Sold it with almost 60k on them, and they still looked new. Had 0 issues with them on or off road. Put the Wilpeak M/T on my Frontier.

I have KO2s on my Tundra. It is a really harsh ride with them.
I put Ridge Grapplers on my son's Sequoia and the ride is pretty good.

Have Falcon Wildpeaks on my truck now. Great tire, quiet and comfortable ride. Just got some KO2's though because of the more aggressive look. If you want less aggressive, the Wildpeaks really are a great tire.

Nice truck man.

Can you put a hidden winch and lights on with no issues?

Search for Cooper Discoverer A/t @ Walmart... These are predecessor to the AT3. Only sold at Walmart and made at the Cooper facility in Texarkana. They are $50 cheaper per tire most others. They've been really good.
