All terrain tires

The OP didn't post what tire the "deal" was for. Kinda hard to answer the question without knowing that.

I put about 30K miles per year on the road (between 2 trucks), which doesn't include our family vehicle, so I end up with a new set of tires every 2-3 years on something. I know there are many good options out there, but I've done best with Bridgestone Dueler Revo A/T's. They are a consistent 70K mile tire.

The key to making sure they remain as quiet as possible and have the best ride is to keep them properly inflated, balanced, and rotated. That's age-old advice that can't be any simpler, but it's the truth. However, cheap tires are just that...cheap. Don't bite on a tire deal if the tires aren't any good anyway. Anytime I've ever tried to save a few dollars with a less expensive tire, it's bitten me in the butt. No more Goodyear Wrangelers or Firestone Destinations for me.

I think an AT is an ideal compromise tire for a 4wd vehicle that spends time both on and off road. If your tow vehicle never leaves the pavement or only just occassionally sees a gravel road, a more highway oriented tire will probably suit you a little better in terms of ride/handling and traction on-road. But for me, AT tires are the sweet spot.

Pretty well says it ...

we use AT because it's solid on the pavement and better any street tires in rain or mud, which everyone gets into once in a while even in a street car. The At design meets requirements in case you get into a situation where you didn't actually plan it.

Very good all around tires for any truck, in my book.

I have BFG which came with the truck and then replaced with the newer ones that came out. 1st 600 miles they were a little squirmy but are fine after that.

been there done that with a nice set of Yokohama's AT design. It was too much with the 5er attached i had to get rid of them and got Micheans. BUT i wish I still had them got rid of them with around 600 miles on them.. NOW you tell me and I took a beating selling them.

I use the Yokohama's AT on both my 3/4 ton Ford and my Excursion and have not had problems with them. I have found most tires a little squirmy the first 500 to 600 miles. I do think a highway tire has more pavement contact and better stability because of it.

My wife and I run Nitto Terra Grapplers and Goodyear Duratracs on our trucks (Mine's a 2015 Ram 3500 RC SRW, she has a 2011 GMC 3500 CC), both load range E. Zero complaints with either and the Nittos really last though the Duratrac have the edge in wet traction.

Have run BFG, Michelin, Goodyear and Firestone, all have been good rubber.

I personally wouldn't put anything but BFG all terrains on anything I own. I've run several sets to 70k miles and could have run them even further. I just put a set of the new tk02's on my daily driver. They grip extremely well in all conditions, no road noise, and as stated....last 70k plus miles. There's not a better all terrain on the market in my opinion.

This One !! Best tires for AT ... been using BFG as long as we've owned trucks (35 years or so)

BTW: Michelin now owns BFG tires (since 1988)

My 2013 GMC 2500HD had Firestone Transforce HT's on it and I just put new Firestone Transforce AT's on it and yes they are louder but not much.

I went from Pirelli ATR's to Goodyear Eagle's on our large SUV. They handle better in the wet and dry. But in snow, dirt, sand...they of course don't compare.

MPG's were unchanged, as was noise. Noise and MPG's depend really on the AT tire, there are so many variables of "AT" tires.

Would I put AT tires on a Van? Depends on the Van and tire being considered.
