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.

Falken Wildpeak AT Trail

BF Goodrich Trail Terrain vs Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail

Both of these tires offer great light all-terrain options. Out of them, the BFG Trail Terrain does a better job off-road, on rocks, dirt, gravel, and even a bit of mud. It also brings in better snow performance as well, though both tires are 3-peak mountain snowflake rated. On the other hand, the Falken A/T Trail is superior on roads (in terms of traction) in both wet and dry conditions, though it does not do so great with noise and fuel efficiency comparatively.

Goodyear Workhorse All Terrain (A/T)

Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse A/T is one of the lightest all-terrain tires that you can get, as it's weight is almost as much as an average passenger tire. So this, combined with biters, its able to provide you with amazing climbing abilities on rocks and sand, though its lateral traction need help (but only off-road). On road, it's pretty great, in dry traction, fuel economy and noise. Cooper AT3 on the other side, is great on both wet and dry on roads, and off-road it gives you superior biting power in all directions including "laterally" where its competitor lacks.

General Grabber A/Tx

General Grabber A/TX vs Firestone Destination X/T

Both tires although provide great overall capabilities, there are a few sections where each of them perform differently. For example on dry roads although both tires perform equally the General Grabber A/TX offers superior wet traction (though overall, compared to other A/T options, its not that impressive). Firestone Destination X/T on the other side, is jack of all trades, master on none, so although it may seem it lacks in all departments, its only with a little margin, well, except for the wear, Grabber ATX is one of the top performing ones in that section.

BF Goodrich KO2

Sumitomo Encounter A/T vs BF Goodrich KO2

Sumitomo Encounter A/T is a more on road oriented tire, so it's much better in dry and wet gripping performance areas. You also get to have a longer lasting tread, better on road comfort, fuel economy and steering response, though off road, it lacks in comparison. And that's where BFG comes in. BF Goodrich KO2 is the most durable tire you can get, that's why I rated this tire for it, in my list of top all time A/Ts, so with stronger design its capable of going on to challenging terrains.

Toyo Open Country RT

Yokohama Geolandar X-AT vs Toyo Open Country RT

Both are rugged terrain tires with mud terrain shoulder lugs, yet the Yokohama Geolandar X-AT offers better mud and sand traction. And on highways, the tire is better in wet traction, fuel consumption, comfort and snow traction. On the other side, the Toyo Open Country R/T provides better dry grip, tread life, and noise dampening.

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

In conclusion, both are high-quality tire options that offer a range of benefits. The Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is a top choice for dry traction, hydroplaning, and off-road performance on rocks and mud, while the Cooper AT3 excels in wet road performance, snow traction, comfort, fuel efficiency, and tread wear. Additionally, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 performs well on rocky off-road terrain, and excels on sandy dunes as well. Considering all of these, I think it would be now easier for you to decide.

Toyo Open Country AT3

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs Toyo Open Country AT3

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is a nice budget pick, but it's lacks on a lot more performance section in comparison. Though you can say, it does good off road on muddy terrains, and it's traction on snow is almost on par here. Toyo Open Country AT3, conversely, offers superior rocky terrain, sand, and gravely roads traction, it's better on roads overall, in terms of noise, fuel usage, and even wet traction, though it's not that impressive compared to other all-terrain tires. Check them all here.

Nitto Ridge Grappler

Yokohama Geolandar X-AT vs Nitto Ridge Grappler

Let me save you some time. Nitto Ridge Grappler is a great pick on rocks, and sand, but lacks in muddy terrains in comparison. Moreover, on roads, it does better with dry traction, and noise reduction, but lacks in tread wear. Yokohama Geolandar X-AT on the other hand, is a great tire for wet (in hybrids, I mean), it's snow traction is also superior, but what really sets this tire aside is it's comfort capability.

Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Yokohama Geolandar X-AT vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Yokohama Geolandar X-AT being a hybrid terrain is able to pull off more on rocks, mud, sand, basically nearly all off-road terrain types. Though the tire is lacking on highways, and that's where Falken Wildpeak AT3w comes in. It's one of the most efficient tires out there, that are great on dry/wet pavements with surprising off road capabilities. It offer all season traction in a better way, with it's superior more resistant thermal adaptive rubber, earning it with sever snow rating.

Hankook Dynapro A/T2

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs Hankook Dynapro AT2

Both of these all-terrain tires are pretty hyped up and out of them, Hankook Dynapro AT2 takes away a larger piece of the pie. The tire is better in dry/wet traction, noise/comfort, ice traction, rocky terrain performance and fuel economy. On the other side, Nitto Terra Grappler would not disappoint on snow and mud.

General Grabber ATX

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs General Grabber ATX

Out of both tires the General Grabber A/TX generates better results with tread wear and snow traction. In fact in these two areas, it outperforms nearly all the tires coming in the all-terrain category. Though compared to other, it's fuel economy, mud and rocky terrain traction and wet traction is also superior. Nitto Terra Grappler G2 on the other side, offers better dry traction, noise dampening. And yes, it's snow traction is also not too bad after all. Review more in all-terrain tires.

BF Goodrich KO2

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs BF Goodrich KO2 T/A

Although you get a very good budget pick on Nitto Terra Grappler, there are a few things limited on it. And that includes, wet traction, fuel consumption, tread wear and of course off road performance. And although lacking off-road performance is understandable compared to beast of a tire BF Goodrich KO2, the lacking wet traction becomes a really bad news for it. Though it's sipes are better on winter traction, and it brands this tire with 3 peak mountain snowflake rating like the KO2.
