Mine came with the truck, and I knew they sucked (my dad had them).

I only use mine for towing the trailer in the summer, they will be replaced after this coming summer.

I'm running some Michelin LTX AT2s I bought on Kijiji for about 70 bucks a tire with 75-80% tread left.

So far so good in slippery roads up in the Waiparous area and around the city.

I'd love to run a big mud tire but I do more highway driving than off road so these seem to be a good fit for me.

I had BFG ATs on one of my half ton trucks and I think there's a lot of hoopla over them, but I wasn't very impressed with them at all. My Nokians are twice the tire that the BFGs ever were.

i have no issues with my hankook rf10's they did well last winter and am using them again this winter, had 25k on my last set before i upgraded size. before i swapped thou it had about 75% still. the toyo open country all terrains have amazing life though. ive seen them with 120k km on them and still fine not sure how well they do in winter not too bad id imagine.

They don't look as "cool" as some of the other AT tires out there, but safety and performance are much higher on my list of important features than looks.
I have to agree with Hooter about the Nokian Rotiva's (except I put on the WR's on my Tacoma and acura). They are the best tires I have ever used PERIOD.... they are all weather , not all season, and they mean it. They hug dry roads, wet rainy roads, and snow like crazy.

Yep I have these tires on my truck and they are nice in the snow and muck...
