tire Question
« on: April 09, 2012, 09:23:58 PM »
Has any one had any experience with these tires, looking to get some tires, but don't want to spend my whole budjet on tires, & most of my use is on the road as a daylie driver with some weekend forest roads camping.
  Have read some post were members have sead they heard good things about them, or a friend has some, but looking to see if anyone here runs them on there cars.

If you don't mind a mud terrain I got nexens installed with lifetime warranty, balancing, and rotation for under $500

The AT2's are an awesome dual use tire, excellent wet weather, ice and snow manners, which as expected also performs very well on the rocks. Very nice running tire on pavement. They can also be pinned with studs as well.

I run the Toyo Open Country and have been really happy with it.  I have noticed that on tight snow pack it doesn't grip all that well, last year I had issues when driving down in to Hole in the Ground at the Fall Adventure Run.  But for a general all-around tire they work great in wet weather, loose snow and stay on top of the sand without digging a hole.

I have the Toyos as well.  They are just ok in the mud, not great, but they ride great and are quiet on the road and are really good in the rain.
Looking at them compared to the Grabbers, i must say the grabbers look more agressive.

Well I just got my 235s Grabbers installed & they look & ride great, fit on stock rims with no rubbing & gave me about a 2" lift... now I can even get under the car w/o a floor jack..LOL.  Thanks for the recommendation talonxracer  these are very quite tires even on the highway, can't wait for the temp to heat up so I can try them out up north so far I love them & the look of the car.

Here are some pics.

Look at the Yokohama Geolander. Had them on my Duramax and loved em. Only sold em as they just a little to big, several other I work with have em land like.

Had them off road a few times with no problems and were great in the snow!! Plus they tend to be cheap!!
I think I had a motorcycle that was heavier!!

I've got BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/As on my Kick. Been pretty happy with them overall. However, I'm thinking about going to a mud terrain tire next, and frankly, have been interested in the Nexen Roadian tires djjz was talking about.

Glad you like them, they are a little more aggressive than most AT's, a close second would be Goodyear Dura-Tracs in both price and performance.

I have always had excellent success running them and the work surprisingly well off road (other than deep mud) and as you found out are rather quiet on the road.

I like the A/T's I got at PEP BOYS. Never had a problem with then and they run good off road.
