I need a set of new tires. My current tires are BFG A/T in this size.
I have gotten alot of mileage out of these (50,000+) but have had problems with them cracking near the side wall. This may be due to a rocky 4x4 trip to Colorado, but not sure.
I was thinking of something a little less agressive, since it only leaves the pavement about 4 times a year.
Looking for good mileage and long tread life. Does not need to be E rated, but must be high preasure 3000lb+ rated

From the most of the posts i have seen on here, should I just stick with what I have?

Thanks!

I would look at the Nitto Dura Grappler.

I would stay with what you have, especially if your getting 50,000 miles.... keep them at 50 psi (off road) and your sidewall problem may go away.
But if looking for less aggressive, the Michelin LTX A/T2 is a great mileage tire and a 3195 LB rating.... JMO.

I have been happy with the Cooper Discoverer ATRs. I had them on my 03 and now on my 94. They are d load rated, but have over 3000lb rating.

Dura Grappler or Toyo AT in an "E" rating. I had a "D" rated tire blow on my '99. $3300 damage in 15 seconds. Numerous flats too. That did it.

I currently have the 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country At.
Great tire, good wear. E rating. Sticks when it needs to.

If I buy another set, I will try that. I usually keep it at 65psi all away around.

Not familar with Nitto tires. How do they wear?

Thanks

I have 42K+ on my Nitto's, running 65 in the front and 50 in the rear...

I would go BFG all terrain... I think their a great all around tire... I had 2 sets of Nitto Terra Grapplers and both set's had out of round and vibration issues..

BFG A/T's have been noted on this forum to be one of the contributing factors to death wobble due to their soft sidewall. They start wobbling and get everything else going that's problematic in the Dodge steering and front suspension. Stay away!!

I'm currently running Nitto Dura Graplers on 1 truck & Toyo Open country A/T's on the other. Very pleased with both sets.

Softer than any other D Rated tire??
Got any source data or thread references for this statement?
