More beef without going AT?

Has anyone found some tires that look beefier without being a legit AT tire? I love the look of AT tires but do almost no offroading outside of some logging roads occasionally if I'm fishing. So I'm wondering, has anyone found some tires that can fit on stock wheels/suspension that looks somewhat beefy without being an AT?

 

take a look at the Cooper AT3's, either the 4S or LT versions.

 

The Cooper AT3 4S or AT3 XLT are solid choices along with the Yokohama Geolandar G015, these tires work well for many. What tire is best for you depends on your priorities.

Let us know if we can help you narrow down your next set of tires.

 

I second these options. I used the G015 precicely for this reason. Good street performance, ok off road, look good and good in snow/wet conditions.

 

I personally didn't care for the AT3's and neither did a guy I worked with or my dad. They get loud once they start wearing and 2 of us had balance issues with them. They do very well with traction though.

I ran these on my Ridgeline and they did great for me. Mostly highway driving with dirt roads and getting back to hunting grounds.

 

Old AT3 or new AT3 4S?

 

Falken AT3W. Awesome tires. Have the looks without being heavy E tires or noisey Mud terrains

 

Not sure when the new AT3 came out, mine were a few years back... so maybe the old?


I also ran a Cooper SRX and they were alright. I probably wont ever put another set of Cooper's on any of my vehicles.

 

I've heard good things about the Hankook Dynapro ATM. They look like a tamed all terrain tire. I think they come stock on some of the higher end new rangers.

Probably the older ones then. The new 4S is a little less aggressive and performs better on-road, especially on snow/ice. They only come in SL load ratings now. The lineup expanded to include LT versions like the AT3 LT and XLT.

 

I like the Nitto G2s.

 

I'm running standard load Cooper AT3 4S and I'm really pleased with the performance and the look of the tire.

I found some AT tires like Duratracs, Toyo AT2, and Geolander G015's look REALLY wimpy due to the sidewall design on the SL tires.

 

I bought geolanders for the same reason.
