Duratrack, Open Country AT, BFG KO2 or Cooper ST/MAXX......and any other suggestion and why.

looking for opinions, mostly desert and rocks up here. Don't care if they are a little louder on the highway just not deafening. Decent tread life...read 40k'ish.

size 285/70/R17

 

What about Cooper ST/MAXX?

 

amended....

 

I'm personally a big fan of the KO2 as the best multi-purpose highway/off road tire:

I'm running 295/65/18 Duratracks. For the little off road excursions I have done with the mud and not so huge rocks they have worked out well. I can say they are pretty darn quiet outside and inside which really surprised me.

 

sorry for all the pics. not quite sure what happened there.

 

I had 285/75r17 Maxx's. They're a good looking tire. But they ride horrible. Stiff as can be. They also pulled to the right very badly. After 2 rotations and 3 alignments, I traded them in for duratracs. I couldn't be happier. I had the duratracs before on a different truck and was happy then as well.

 

Giving the Toyo open country at2s a try. Haven't had them all that long but so far so good. Went with the load C version.

BFG KO2 fan here... Been good in snow, mud and slush

 

I'll have to remember the BFG KO2s when I need new tires. I like my current All-Terrain TAs, but the KO2s sound like exactly what I need. Mostly highway driving, some gravel roads, and good snow and ice traction for occasional snow. They do sound lke a good all around tire.
