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.

MICHELIN Defender LTX M/S

BF Goodrich Trail Terrain vs Michelin Defender LTX MS

Although its not recommended to miss anything above, let me try to summarize things below for the folks who are in a hurry. Overall, the Michelin Defender is a better pick when it comes to all types of on-road performance metrics. It has superior traction in both wet and dry environments, along with superb steering response, provides comfortable and fuel efficient ride, and has a longer tread life. On the other side, the BFG Trail Terrain, does better off-road, though on dry roads, it's traction is only a tiny bit lacking, and you'd not feel much of a difference there. Moreover, it does better in terms of on-road noise, as it offers you with a quieter ride even being a more aggressive tire.

BF Goodrich Advantage T/A

BF Goodrich Trail Terrain vs Advantage

BF Goodrich Trail Terrain is a more aggressive and durable tire out of the two, so its not able to do so well on smooth pavements, comparatively. Though still let me say this that on dry roads, you won't feel any difference between the two (meaning, its only on the paper). And of course, the tire does great off-road in all types of terrains, except for handling on gravely roads. BF Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport on the other side, is abetter on-road tire, in terms of all, including traction, comfort, fuel usage and tread life.

General Grabber ATX

Pro Comp AT Sport vs General Grabber ATX

The Pro Comp AT is a really nice budget pick, and in comparison here, it comes out better when it comes to dry traction, fuel efficiency and overall on-road comfort. On the other side, the Grabber ATX features a better off-road performance (except for rocks), superior tread life, and more gripping wet traction (though its nothing to be proud off, when compared to other A/T options).

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Michelin LTX AT2 vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

So overall, it all comes down to this. The Cooper Discoverer AT3 is better in wet, comfort, and off-road conditions. Whereas the Michelin LTX AT2 comes better in terms of dry grip and fuel economy. Both tires have similar tread life and winter traction.

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx vs AT3 XLT

Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx is a much better tire off-road, considering all, though it's sand traction can still be improved. As the tire is missing with sidewall lugs, which is odd, given its aggressive structure. Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT on the other side, is better on roads overall. It offers superior wet and dry grip, fuel economy and tread life.

General Grabber ATX

General Grabber APT vs ATX

With a more aggressive tread design, you get a superior traction off-road on Grabber ATX. That's out there. But what's still surprising to see, is that tire also does relatively better on snow, and wet roads, as well as tread wear department. On the other side the General Grabber APT features superior dry grip performance, fuel efficiency, and comfort performance (in terms of noise generation).

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Pro Comp AT Sport vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

Overall, as I discussed above, the Cooper AT3 is a better tire on dry and wet roads, in terms of traction, fuel winter and comfort performance. The Pro Comp A/T on the other side, with it's greater number of biting edges yield superior off-road grip. Though worth reminding, both tires show up with similar tread wear life.

General Grabber ATX

Hankook Dynapro ATM vs General Grabber ATX

So it all comes down to this. You may want to get Hankook Dynapro ATM, if you want a better on-road tire in terms of grip, fuel usage, and comfort (quieter ride). Otherwise go with General Grabber ATX. This tire comes with superior wet grip, tread wear, and off-road traction.

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Kenda Klever AT2 vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

Overall its safe to say that both tires have their good and bad. The Kenda Klever AT2 gives superior wet and winter grip, and off-road its better on rocks and mud (mild terrains). Whereas the Cooper AT3 does better with comfort (in terms of noise mostly), and its brings superior tread life. Moreover off-road, you'd be impressed by it's much better sand traction.

General Grabber ATX

Hankook Dynapro AT2 vs General Grabber ATX

The Hankook Dynapro AT2 does better on dry roads, in terms of traction (comes with higher speed ratings), and comfort by offering a much quieter ride. Moreover the tire is also more fuel efficient despite having a greater weight. The Grabber ATX on the other side, supply superior, wet traction, tread life, and overall off-road performance.

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

So overall, keep in mind that, if you are mostly traveling on wet roads, you should consider Cooper AT3 here. The tire would also provide superior tread life, and is better off-road here in comparison. The Kumho AT52 on the other side, is great when it comes to winter traction, dry traction, and fuel efficiency.

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Hankook Dynapro ATM vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

So overall, it comes down to this. The Hankook AT2 is a better tire when you consider, dry on-road traction, tread life, and overall comfort (in terms of noise). And on the other side, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 is superior on wet roads, fuel efficiency and provides better off-road traction especially on softer terrains.
