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 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.

Nitto Recon Grappler

Nitto Recon Grappler vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

Nitto Recon Grappler and the Cooper Discoverer AT3 are although both all-terrain tires, they are the very ends of the all-terrain spectrum. Meaning Cooper AT3 is better on roads, whereas with more aggressive structure (both internally and externally), the Nitto Recon Grappler is able to handle tougher tracks off-road. Though it's shoulder lugs are very on road optimized as well, and because of it it's handling performance is considerable, though the tire needs wet handling grip badly. But it's amazing how to see how this tire with so little siping have 3 peak mountain snowflake ratings (like the Cooper AT3), despite not having multiple sipes like winter tires.

Nitto Recon Grappler

Nitto Recon Grappler vs Toyo Open Country AT3

Nitto Recon Grappler is a good addition to Grappler line up, but it's still not that on-road focused, so it lacks when it comes on road comfort, fuel economy, tread wear and grip. But at the same time does better in almost all types of terrains off road. Toyo AT3 is the opposite, it's great on highways (though it's wet traction can be improved), its good with noise, wear and fuel, and it does great on snow as well (is the only tire here with 3pmsf rating).

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T vs Nitto Recon Grappler

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T is a proper rugged terrain tires, whereas the Nitto Recon Grappler is an aggressive all terrain, though still both tires offer good enough on road traction where Baja A/T offers superior capabilities when things are wet, and Recon offer dry traction. Both tires offer great all season traction on asphalts. And on rugged terrains, things are slightly better with Mickey Thompson, though Nitto Recon is better on sand. Find more on all-terrain tires.

Toyo Open Country AT3

Yokohama Geolandar G015 vs Toyo Open Country AT3

Yokohama Geolandar G015 is one of the top performing all-terrain tires when it comes to overall comfort, thanks to it's silica rich compound which keeps it's rubber soft and spongy. That's why it's superior in wet and snow traction as well. On the flip side, the Toyo Open Country AT3 offers the opposite, it does better on dry, has superior fuel economy, and it's stiffer compound allows you to have more mileage. So in the end, the choice is yours.

Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus and the Falken Wildpeak AT3w are both all-terrain tires where Pirelli focus on roads, mostly, and Falken does things better on rugged tracks. That's because Falken AT3w has wider tread voids which offer bigger groove bite and so it can grab in a better way.

Cooper Discoverer AT3

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

Cooper Discoverer AT3 and Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus are both all-terrain tires where they focus on highway performance more. Yet still the Pirelli does better on dry roads, whereas Cooper is great on wet with better siping, which by the way also yields superior traction on snow. Off road both tires have mixed performance and it's complicated to sum it up here.
