3/4 Ton AT Truck Tire?

[Willie IV]

Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek are on my GMC 2500 AT4. I've owned a couple sets of these and they wear fantastic. I'm 4 miles off pavement so I drive a lot of gravel. I also haul a livestock trailer for cattle so they also see that wear and tear. Easily will get 40K out of them and for living on gravel I don't think you can do better.

I have a set of Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's on my Tundra. Its a bit lighter than a 3/4 ton diesel, but not by much. They've been wearing great, have good road manners, and great on the dirt.

The top contenders are BFG KO3s, Wildpeak AT4s, and GY Duratrac. BFGs and GY are crazy expensive... are they that much better?? What is the Tikka of AT tires

BFGs will last longer than the good years, but they suck muddy conditions.

Duratracs are the best all terrain tires I found for 2500/3500 for staying on the road. I only get 40-50k out of them once they wear down (40k) I usually started getting punctures. The new RTs are quieter than the original.

Never used wild peaks.

The cooper xlts mentioned are on par with the bfgs for traction/miles.

My last set of nitto exo grapplers made it over 40k on a 3/4 ton gasser. Occasional towing and lots of shit gravel roads living 7 miles from nearest pavement.

Toyo 35's AT on my F250, 47,000 miles no issues no flats.

I went with Cooper Stronghold this Fall, but my tires dry rot before they wear out since the truck is never used around town. 2019 3500 with 30k miles.

On my 2 Chevy Duramax 2500s I owned over the years I had good luck with Maxxis Mudder Buckshot tires..
They wore good for such aggressive tread and awesome in snow/mud..
Definitely road noise though.

Take a look at the Yokohama Geolander A/T XD.

The best 3 ATs that I’ve tried are the Toyo Open Country AT3, Cooper AT3, and BFG AT KO3s. I have read a lot of positive reviews on the Falkens and would like to try them, but have no personal experience. I do remember that comparing the Falkens to the others in the same size, the Falkens weighed more, so it’s possible they have more beef which would help you with flats? Hard to say. I think they are on the AT4 version so that could’ve changed.

The BFGs seem to be the standard that ATs are judged by. Mine were on a 2500 Cummins and they were a good tire, but I was less than impressed with the tread life. Use was mostly highway, minimal towing and off-road. They were replaced at around 40k with the Coopers. The Coopers were cheaper and wore better. They were at 50k when I sold the truck. I’ve been most impressed with the Toyos and have had 3 sets between two Toyotas. They ride well, wear well, aren’t the most expensive, and are impressive off-road. Use case is highway miles, moderate towing, and consistent sand and mud off-road use. But, those vehicles aren’t 3/4 ton work trucks.

Goodyear wrangler duratracs. And they are 12 ply. Wild peak at4 are great as well.
I think changing air pressure will help a lot.

I love this tire with bilstein shocks. I have them on my f-250 and i love it. Not sure I could ever switch to another tire now

I am running wrangler duratracs on a 3/4 ton diesel regularly pull a 24ft stock trailer loaded with 4 horses on the pavement and mountians no issues so far they have got to be close to having 30,000 miles on this set with half of those towing a trailer. I will be replacing them with the same tires when I need to.

Bf Goodrich km3 have served me well, I tow nearly every day usually in the 12-14k pound range. My last set went 40k and I was horrible about rotation, I bought a set of ko2s to replace them and they were half worn out or more in 10k. I had original the original ko and the ko2 and never again will I own a set they were incredibly fast.

I do enough towing off pavement that I prefer to have a somewhat aggressive tire. The tread depth on the km3 gives a good amount of longevity and the sidewalls are really stiff with a load range E tire so they handle very well. I only have a sample size of one with duratracs, they were great in snow but horrible on wet roads both starting and stopping was sketchy at times.

I've had a lot of duratracs on company rigs when I worked in Alaska. They did GREAT in the snow and our roads are only dirt (round rock 3"-) and they held up well there....and we ran heavier by 10k lbs......but the road life and manners are gay.

Bfg are awesome on a lighter truck but only average on a heavy diesel. I have a set on my 7.3 excursion and just swapped them off my 80 series cruiser in favor of the Kenda klever rt. I would have a peek at the kenda. They are a tougher tire with reasonable snow/ice manners and truly burly in rock.

I have read through most of the truck tire threads here, but I still have questions. I love the Falken Wildpeak AT3s on my 1/2 ton, but I don't love them on the 3/4 ton(Wear and Flats)

My truck spends a third of the time on the pavement with no trailer, a third in the woods with no trailer, and a third of the time pulling a 6-8 thousand pound horse trailer on payment and the woods. Which AT would you choose?

The Falken At4 is real size dependent. The 35x12.5x18 are deeper tread, and F rated compared to the smaller sizes

I have at4 on one truck and Falken RT on the other. Love both.

Falken RT is built for 3/4, but not sipped a bunch so you give up a little ice/snow compared to at4

BFG Ko’s on diesel sux. km3 will last longer but are rough and loud

 

[Wrench]

Km3's look like they would scare the hell out of me after 10k miles on compact snow compared to a radial all terrain.

Toyo RT trail have been great on my heavily loaded F250 at work on a variety of roads.

I had those tires bought back from me by Cooper/discount tire because they started to shred belts at the tread. They bought me the bfg's I have now.
