Hi Folks. I’m Ozmen, and I work as a tire designer/engineer. 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. Learn More About Me.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
