Hi Folks. I'm Ozmen, and I work as a tire designer. I understand finding a tire isn't easy, as there are so many variables involved. But with me around, tire selection would never bother you again.

Toyo Open Country M/T

Toyo Open Country MT vs Nexen Roadian MTX RM7

Although its not recommended that you miss out on any of the abvoe, as a lot of research went in to this, for the folks who are in a hurry, let me break down all of the above I discussed. The Toyo Open Country M/T does better in the following departments. Dry traction. Mud traction Quietness of ride. Fuel economy Whereas the Nexen Roadian is superior in following key performance areas. Wet traction. Winter performance Absorption to bumps. Both tires have similar sandy and rocky terrain performance.

BF Goodrich KM3

Hankook Dynapro MT2 vs BF Goodrich KM3

The BF Goodrich KM3 features very effective siping, providing superior winter and wet traction, in comparison, and off-road the tire yields better sand and mud grip. In comparison, the Hankook Dynapro MT2 delivers better dry grip, with faster steering response, and the tire also offers relatively better comfort. Moreover, it's fuel efficiency is also greater compared to its counterpart.

Yokohama Geolandar G015

Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs Yokohama Geolandar G015

Kumho Road Venture AT52 although features a better dry grip, it lacks to its competitor on wet roads. Moreover, the tire is a better choice if you are considering fuel and tread life, as it generates lower rolling resistance values. On the other hand, the Yokohama Geolandar G015 is one of the best tires out there (in A/T category), when it comes to comfort. This is mainly due to its softer compound, which is also great on muddy terrains. Though it can't keep up as much on sand and rocks, relatively speaking.

Continental TerrainContact A/T

Continental TerrainContact AT vs HT

Both tires, from different categories produce different set of results. The TerrainContact H/T features a superior pavement traction, and supplies better on-road comfort, fuel efficiency and tread life. Whereas the TerrainContact A/T does better off-road on all types of terrains, and supplies amazing tread life considering LT sizes. Furthermore, it's all season compound also supplies better winter traction on deeper terrains.

Bridgestone dueler A/T Revo 3

Firestone Destination XT vs Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3

So as discussed above in detail, both tires have their good and bad. The Firestone X/T comes with a malleable compound providing you with greater wet road stability and traction, and staying soft on snowy terrains (featuring 3 peak mountain snowflake rating unlike its competitor). Moreover it's off-road traction is also superior, as seen in almost all terrain types. The Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3, in comparison, provides better dry traction, and steering response, and supplies you with a much quieter ride. Moreover, it's fuel and tread economy is also seen slightly better.

Goodyear Wrangler AT/S

Goodyear Wrangler AT/S vs TrailMark

Goodyear Wrangler AT/S, is although slightly more aggressive than its counterpart, the tire still manages to supply you with superior wet and winter performance (on pavements). And of course, off-road it's definitely a much better pick, as it offers much nicer rocky, muddy and sandy terrain traction. The Goodyear TrailMark on the other hand, does great when it comes to dry highway grip, steering response, and it's fuel economy, tread life, and comfort is also ranking better as well.

Hankook Dynapro ATM

Hankook Dynapro ATM vs Goodyear Wrangler Adventure

Hankook Dynapro ATM lacks to its counterpart in the on-road traction section, but only in dry conditions, as on wet, it's grip and handling efficacy is superior. Moreover, the tire is a better pick off the two, when it comes to rugged terrains, like sand, rocks, gravel and even a little bit of mud. Goodyear Wrangler Adventure is generally a better on-road tire, as besides traction, it also gives out better fuel economy, tread life and comfort performance. Though in terms of winter performance, it lacks to its counterpart, even though both tires have 3 peak mountain snowflake ratings.

Michelin LTX M/S

Goodyear Wrangler Adventure vs Michelin Defender LTX M/S

Out of both tires the Michelin LTX MS being an all season tire offers better results in all on-road performance metrics. It's better in terms of gripping and steering response (on both wet and dry asphalts), and it does great reducing on-road noise, brings better tread life, and supplies superior fuel economy. The Goodyear Wrangler Adventure on the other hand, although is only lacking by a margin on dry roads, it's wet traction can be improved a good deal. Though the tire makes up for it on rugged tracks, with it's superior gripping abilities.

Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 vs Goodyear Wrangler Adventure

Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 vs Goodyear Wrangler Adventure

Let's sum things up here. The Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 although lacks in the highways performance section, with limited traction and steering response, the tire makes up for it on (mild) rugged tracks. Moreover, despite having 3PMSF rating, it also features superior winter traction. Goodyear Wrangler Adventure on the other side, does greater on highways, though lacks in the fuel department, and has almost on part tread life.

Hankook Dynapro AT2

Hankook Dynapro AT2 vs MT2

Hankook Dynapro AT2 provides you with better on-road girp, handling and steering response, which is no surprise, given it's a considerably less aggressive. Same goes for its other on-road dimensions, such as fuel, comfort and tread life, they are all seen much better on this tire as well. But off-road, of course, the beast, Hankook MT2 shines, in nearly all key terrains, including mud of course, sand, rocks, as well as gravel and dirt filled roads.

Yokohama Geolandar G015

Hankook Dynapro AT2 vs Yokohama Geolandar G015

Both tires have their good and bad. The Hankook Dynapro AT2 is great on dry roads, in terms of traction, tread life and off-road offers superior grip on mud and rocks, though lacks in sand to its counterpart. The Geolandar A/T G015 on the flip side is great on wet performance, and offers amazing comfort values without compromising too much on fuel economy.

Michelin Defender LTX MS

Continental TerrainContact AT vs Michelin Defender LTX MS

Although its not recommended that you skip all of the above, for folks in a hurry, let me compile down everything. The Continental TerrainContact is the quietest all-terrain tire, which also does great in terms of grip on dry roads. And although it gives out higher rolling resistance with that grip, it's tread life is still relatively better, if you compare LT sizes. Moreover, these sizes also provide superior off-road traction, in all types of terrains. On the other side, the Michelin Defender LTX MS supplies superior wet traction, with it's amazing steering response. And it's a more comfortable tire to have on-roads, which is also superior in terms of fuel economy (and tread life, considering non-LT sizes).
