I'm running the AT/2s on my wife's truck in my signature. I can't tell you how they are on wet grass because we don't have much of that in my neck of the woods, but I can tell you that I haven't had any problems with them yet. But, I've only had them for about 2 months.

I purchased the AT/2 tires on both trucks noted in my signature from Costco and have been very pleased with their overall performance. I definately observed a big improvement over the stock LTX tires in regards to traction in wet grass and loose road surfaces. I felt that the stock LTX tires were a very good highway tire that wore llike iron (84,000miles),however; they were not suited for rain or snow covered roads or soft ground. Given that information,I searched for a tire that would wear as well, but perform significantly better than the stock LTX tires did. To me,the AT/2s seemed to be the perfect replacement.

My 01.5 currently has 52,000 miles on the Michelin AT/2s which are wearing like iron. They perform very well and have exceeded my expectations. I would expect to get at least 85,000 miles or more out of them. The AT/2s on my 03 have gone 27,000 miles so far with very little and exceptionally even tread wear. I would like to get 85000 miles out of them as well. Given their condition so far, it appears that this goal is well within reach. I also pull a 5th wheel and have taken the truck out in the sand a few times. The AT/2s wear very well and have become my choice for tires in the future.
