Don't miss out on any of the above info, it took me some time to compile it all up. Though for folks in a hurry, let me break it down. Atturo Trail Blade MT is a superior mud-terrain tires when you consider the on/off road comfort, fuel economy and on-road steering response/handling. Whereas, the Federal M/T is only outperforming its competitor in one area, and that is mud.
Comparing both tires reminded me of my post, all-terrain vs all-season tires, as there are very similar results here. Let's start with on-road traction. So here, considering overall grip, handling and steering sensitivity of both tires, I can confidently say that you'd find CrossContact LX considerably better out of both tires, in both wet and dry environments. The tire's asymmetric design account for superb bite on dry roads, whereas it's dual siping structure and longitudinal grooves supply wet traction, and resistance to hydroplaning. These biters are also much more effective when it comes to winter terrains as well, though the tire is not rated with 3PMSF, like its counterpart too, though they both still have M+S. Moving on to the other tire, the TerrainContact A/T features superior off-roading, as it's independent central lugs supply for greater self cleaning abilities, and bite on rugged terrains. Moreover, the tire is also much more durable in comparison. On-road, although it lacks to its competitor a little, there's no way, it going to disappointing at all. In fact, it's the fastest and quietest of all the A/T tires I've reviewed here so far. And I think I've covered them all. Let me know if you agree.
The Hankook Dynapro XT is a versatile off-road tire with moderate performance across various terrain types. While its tread life, comfort, and winter traction may not be exceptional, the tire performs well on rocks and sand. However, it might not be the best option for mud traction. Though I am really impressed with how this tire performed on roads/pavements, in both wet and dry environments. You get amazing traction values, and a very quiet ride with these tires. Overall, it remains a solid choice for drivers seeking off-road capabilities with a reasonable balance between comfort and performance.
Let's sum all of the above. So comparing both tires, the tests showed that for winter performance, ride quietness, fuel economy and dry traction, Mickey MTZ is a better choice. Whereas in case of sand traction, comfort performance (in terms of bumps absorption efficacy), and winter traction, the BF Goodrich KM3 supplies a relatively better experience.
The Haida HD878 RT is a versatile hybrid tire with satisfactory performance across various terrains. The tire although looks very similar to Toyo Open Country RT, it's very different in terms of performing at different key areas. Having said that its tread life, comfort, and noise levels are adequate for a tire of this category. And it performs well on deep snow, rocks, and sand, making it a suitable option for off-road enthusiasts seeking a budget-friendly hybrid tire.
The Atturo Trail Blade MT is a versatile and capable mud-terrain tire with impressive tread life, winter traction, and performance across various terrain types. It excels in muddy and rocky terrains while providing good-enough performance on sand. And although its traction on light snow may be limited, the tire remains a solid choice for drivers seeking off-road snow paddling abilities. Overall its a pretty decent pick, though could use a little bump in the comfort and wet department, but then again it's a mud-tire we're talking about.
The Atturo Trail Blade X/T is a great off-road option, that offers decent performance across various terrain types. While it may not provide optimal fuel efficiency or excel in every off-road scenario, it still performs well in mud and deeper snow, no doubt about that. The tire's tread life is reinforced with a stiffer composition and tread depth, and you also get good enough impact comfort performance as well. However, it may generate more noise than some other rugged terrain tires out there. Overall, its pretty safe to say that the Atturo Trail Blade X/T is a versatile option for drivers seeking a tire with off-road capabilities.
The Milestar Patagonia XT tires emerge as a competitive choice for off-road enthusiasts seeking a balance of performance, durability, and affordability. The tire features superb self cleaning capabilities and provide excellent durability with it's 3 ply sidewalls and cut resistant rubber lugs on top. Although some concerns regarding road noise and ride comfort may be raised, the overall value and performance of these tires outweigh these minor drawbacks.
The Black Bear R/T is a hybrid tire that strikes a balance between off-road traction and durability, while potentially offering better fuel efficiency and tread life compared to traditional Mud terrain tires. It performs well in deeper snow and rocky terrains but may struggle in mud and sand compared to more specialized options. Overall, the Black Bear R/T could be a suitable choice for those seeking a rugged terrain tire that combines off-road capabilities with some on-road advantages.
Out of both tires, the Dynapro AT2 although offers amazing dry grip, it's wet traction can use some help. Though it's better in other performance areas as well (on highways), including tread wear, on-road noise, and winter performance. On the other side, the Wrangler ATS does better on wet roads, and gives out desirable fuel economy and overall on-road comfort. The tire also does great on mild off-road terrains, but lacks in providing as much durability as the Hankook AT2.
Goodyear Wrangler AT/S, as it comes with a relatively more open tread design, supplies you with better off-road performance, compared to highways. Though it's winter traction is still better off the two. Goodyear Wrangler SR-A on the other hand, features superior dry and wet grip and supplies you with faster steering response. Moreover, the tire is also great in the comfort department, features a more fuel efficient structure, and gives out longer tread life.
Although I don't recommend missing out any of the above, let me still conclude for folks who are in a hurry. The BFG KM3 is a better tire when it comes to fuel, noise, dry traction, and off-road on mud, sand and even rocks. Whereas on it's counterpart, the Milestar M/T, you'd get a relatively better comfort and wet grip.
