    Good to know, I'm hoping to get a few more 000's out of my OEM Dunflops and will pick up the hankooks next. Thanks

    I have the AT3's and have been happy so far. They are nosier than stock, but I think that's to be expected. Wet traction has been good, no complaints. Have 7k miles on them and no issues thus far.

    I just don't think cooper's are as good as they use to be. in my opinion hankooks are a better tire for the price.

    The cooper AT3 is probably the best or one of the best A/T tire right now. But that comes at a price in some noise and less mpg. One of the best tires in the wet which is why I got them and good in snow... The goodyears are one of the best A/T tire for the snow but have softer sidewalls which could be good or bad....

    I love them, great on off road tire.

    Thanks for the response. I just ordered the AT3. With the $70 rebate that put them at $131 a tire. Can't beat that price.

    Ive had mine on for 6k miles and still have a few of the fill dimples albeit im a 1st gen which means im lighter. Ive had mine in 6" of standing water going 30-35 and had 0 tractions issues (can send you a video if you want) I had them on ice and powder snow also with no traction problems too. As for noise they are an A/T and are similar to my other sets the trucks had on

    should also note Im running lt tires in c load rating. Cant say anything about a difference in weight as I also went to lighter rims with this set so I cant comment on that

    That sounds better! I may be ready to get rid of mine at 16k, but I'd rather have a choice about it. :thumbsup:

    I'm very happy with my duratracs, but they're more aggressive than you're looking for... I've had great luck with BFG All Terrains in the past. They took tons of abuse and neglect and still lasted 60k miles.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    I bought my truck with AT3s on it. I have no complaints about them yet. Ive put over 13k miles on them so far with no issues. They are quiet for an A/T tire on the road. They handle western PA snow with no problems. Ive had no issues with them in minor off road situations in the mud - I wouldnt rock crawl with them.

    Id say they are comparable to BFG A/Ts, if not better. They have definitely worn better than the BFG's I had.

    If you want a nice on road A/T tire, the Coopers would get my vote. If I didnt just buy a set of Duratracs, I'd purchase the Coopers again.
