Thanks! I googled (well, yahooed) TrailMark APR and got one site in another state that didn't deliver! LOL! Thanks for the link.

 

well hi i'm hans and i have 17" original rims on my truck and my tires are 285/70-17 cooper stt , they are not expensive and they do not sing on the highway so any doubts le me knos just trying to help u

 

hans, throw up some pics of ur ride

 

For what it's worth...had a set of Bridgestone Dueler AT's on another vehicle (which shall remain nameless...ha)...and they were great on road and off. I didn't do any crazy off-road stuff, but I hunt a lot and to get to some of our land, you have to go through some semi-hairy stuff, and I never got stuck...while my uncle's much larger vehicle with much pricier tires did...

 

Personally, I went with the Firestone Destination AT in a 265/75/16 (note: I have 16" rims ). I only have the Suspension TSB that raised the back end up 1 inch and the front 1/2 inch. I have had these on my Suburban and now my Tacoma, and they are incredible. I haven't taken the Tacoma through snow yet, but the 2WD Suburban did extremely well in the snow with those tires. They are quiet and an excellent balance of offroad capability and onroad comfort and reliability.

The General Grabber AT2 is an awesome tire. I had these on my Suburban once. They weren't the best in snow, but they held their own everywhere else.

Bridgestone tires are made with the same technology as the Firestones. Other than that, I can't comment on this tire (I mostly bought Blizzaks from Bridgestone).

These things look awesome, but I have never had them (mostly because of the price.

I had these on my ex's 01 Nissan Xterra. They were incredible offroad, but horribly noisy on the road, and they raped my gas mileage (18 down to 15). Best thing about them - they looked awesome.

Cooper has always made a good tire. I had something similar to these (by Cooper) on my 74' Scout, and they were decent in everything but the snow.

May I also suggest looking at the Michellin LTX M/S and the Yokohama Geolander A/Ts. Both very good tires, but a bit pricey. The Michellin's are excellent in the snow, but I didn't get very much over 25,000 miles out of them (drove them mostly up and down Boulder Canyon in Colorado).

The Yoko's are a harder rubber, and not the best in the snow. They are still an excellent tire. My wife's RAV4 has a version of these now, but she is going to get the Michellin's next year.

Here are some pics of my truck with the new 265/75/16 Firestone Destination A/T's...





Cheers! and good luck!

 

Wow! Thank you 007! All of this is really helpful. I do have to worry about how tires will work in snow, so this gives me alot to think about.

 

My best suggestions then:

All Terrain:

Firestone Destination A/T
Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor (Hear-say from friends)
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo (Hear-say from friends)

Mud/Snow:

Bridgestone Blizzaks
Michellin LTX M/S


Cheers!
