Offroad tires for diesel towing

Toyo AT are horrible compared to the M55, iirc now a M6x something or other. Got 80,000 on rear duals vs 40,000 with AT's. Did not rotate with fronts. Way better mud and snow traction.

^^ Good advice.

I have BFG AT KO2s on right now and I like them a lot but I don't think they'll hold up as well as the Toyos. But I got a killer deal on them so that's okay.

Another tire to check out is the Cooper ST Maxx. That's very likely my next tire.

I put a set of Falken wildpeak a/t3w tires on our yukon last year. They are excellent. Not noisy at all, great traction in all conditions.

Based on most reviews I’ve read some seem to wear better with the extra weight of diesel trucks than others. Surprised the tire folks haven’t picked up on that as a marketing thing and relabeled some as such.

I personally like the Nitto - Terra Grappler G2 . . Real good lugs, real good off road traction...Good mileage towing.. and not much tread flex, if any..

I use them on ALL my trucks that snow plow, AND tow . .

Firestone Destination AT.

Toyo AT II's work well on and off road.

I had some off road tires- general grabbers - and got very disappointing mileage and wear from them. Lost about 1 mpg and they are noisy. I switched to Goodrich T/A which are a highway/offroad combination and they have been much better.

We only do off roading during the summer tho (not much opportunity in FL), so if you do more YMMV. We have been up and down Colorado 4WD mountain passes and extensively off into Utah 4WD roads in a number of locations with good results tho. With a big truck you are severely limited in rock crawling because of the approach angles on these long trucks. So I doubt serious off road tires make much sense.
