Opinions on New Tires ?

I have narrowed down the new tire selection to 3 tires. BFG Rugged Trail TA's, General Grabber AT/2's and Hankook Dynapro ATM's. Any suggestions? They will all be E load range tires. I got 30,000 out of the stock BFG's but once they got lower on tread depth they were horrible in the rain and snow. Pete

I let a tire shop talk me into Hankook ATMs and I hated them. Squirmiest handling tires I ever had. Took them right back off and got Michelins. I had the same problem with a rented Hundai w/Hankooks. Very squirmy. Craig

I put the Hankooks on the wifes Tundra and love them.

Running Dura Grapplers on my truck and very impressed.

I would buy both tires again.

Some people don not like the Hankooks. I decided against the BFG's and Grabbers and now looking at the Toyo's or Kelly Safari ATR's. Buying them today so if anyone has an opinion on them let me know. Pete

I usually do some research on tirerack.com to see how they rate tires, then read all the comments. They are one of the few places that actually test and compare tires. Then I see if I can beat their prices locally on the tires I like.

My Hankook's have a Discount Tire provided 50k mile treadware warranty. My most recent set lasted 28k miles, and my replacements were only $650. 315-70-17's
