I'm loving my Toyo MTs... They are awesome on road. Great in snow/ice. Balance perfect. I have around 15k on them so far. Maybe the best looking tire out there??



My brother had the Destination MTs... those were incredible off road.

Ive had a set of Kumho MT's (venture) for like 4/5 years now. Great off road ok onroad.

I also have a set of Kumho AT's that are great on the road, ok offroad.

Havnt decided what im going with next (within this year) ... either cooper, or those Toyo's above, or go with 2 sets, and get a set of LTB's (34x10.5) for the trail and some 33 AT's for the street.

My work truck is running 285 75 16 Firestone Destination Mt's. Very aggressive, they make my 33x10.5 x15 BFG mt's look a bit tame. I LOVE my bfg mt's, but those new destination mt's by firestone are a quality driving tire and much more aggressive. The sharp cuts on the treads rather than the rounded radius like the bfg's make me believe they will do slightly better. I Haven't had them offroad yet, but will at the next job site.

I just put a set of El Dorado ZTR Sports on my Runner...265/75/16's. They're made by Cooper, available as ATR Sport. I know they're not nearly as aggressive as MT/R's, but since I do 95% of my driving on road, they work for me.

I've been absolutely blown away by the performance of this tire! They're super quiet, snow and ice traction is way better than anything I've run before and they have a 50k mileage warranty. They're good off road too. But the best thing: they're $100 bucks apiece!!! And, they look a little like Revos IMO. I would def buy this tire again!!! Here's a pic from the El Dorado website...

Best all purpose on-road and off-road tire IMO are either the BFG Krawlers or the Goodyear MT/Rs. I prefer the latter as I don't personally like BFGs.

My opinion of BFG MT's ok on the road mine took a crap load of weights to balance them.
They do pretty decent offroad.
However ice and snow forget about it I am spinning my tires constantly.
It becomes embarassing spinning both your tires and a guy with snows goes right by you they suck unless you are in deep snow.
I would perfer BFG AT's in the winter.
My honest opinion would I get BFG MT's again probably not.

Also good luck in finding a tires that do good in all conditions it ain't happening there will always be something it's not as good at as another tire.
So there is a balance of what tires can do look for the niche you need the tire to do for you.
Not really sure what tire to run next but I am concidering swamper IROK's or Boggers.
In reality if you daily it I would go with a AT.

As a my buddy put it "There are Swampers and all the other tires".
