Nitto Trail Grappler

Toyo Open Country MT vs Nitto Trail Grappler

Overall the Toyo Open Country MT offers a better gripping on dry roads, but the tire is very confusing on wet, as its not able to provide a good enough lateral stability. The Nitto Trail Grappler is also same here, though it does better with hydroplaning. On the other hand, if talk off road, things are seen better on Nitto Trail Grappler, as it offer a superior self cleaning tread.

Continental TerrainContact A/T

Continental TerrainContact AT Review

Continental TerrainContact AT is although an All Terrain tire, it's better on roads compared to rougher tracks. In fact, the tire is one of the quietest you can have, it also offers best traction values on both wet and dry roads. It's very quiet, where it's decibels even meet with some passenger tires out there.

BF Goodrich KO2

Yokohama Geolandar X-AT vs BF Goodrich KO2

BF Goodrich is better suited overall for roads, in terms of traction, noise, and fuel efficiency (though wet traction of the tire is not that impressive). Yokohama X AT on the other side, does things better with hydroplaning and has upper hand off road especially on mud, where both tires are good enough for rocks and sand. On snow, the tire is better suited for deeper terrains despite not having 3pmsf rating, whereas KO2 offers better friction on packed snow.

BF Goodrich KM3

Cooper Discoverer STT Pro vs BF Goodrich KM3

Overall I can say both tires are very impressive, but still I would rate the Discoverer STT Pro for better traction on rocks and BF Goodrich KM3 for overall all rounder tire which is great on wet roads even (well compared to M/Ts), the tire is not good overall.

Patriot RT

Patriot RT Tires Review

The Patriot RT and RT+ and the same as Renegade RT and RT+, and the only differences is in their sizes, they did this for marketing reasons. Nonetheless, the tire is still underrated given it's performance. It's 3PMSF rating and it's performance on deep snow is simply epic.

Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT

Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT Review

Goodyear Workhorse AT is a good all rounder tire, which offers one of the best steering response on highways. This has to do with it's being so light. The heaviest size of the tire is just above 50 lbs, most of the AT tires start from there.

BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A

BF Goodrich Trail Terrain Detailed Review

So overall the BFG Trail Terrain is a very nice on road oriented all terrain tire for sure. It mostly shines in terms of fuel economy, overall ride comfort and winter performance. Puls its also great in terms of handling on dry roads in particular, and off road in gravel.

Goodyear Wrangler MTR

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Review

The Goodyear Wrangler MTR is a very powerful off road tire that does not disappoint on any kind of rugged terrain. And its a surprise to see that these tire s are still able to perform okay on dry roads. But they are very poor on wet roads, so it's advice not to run them with traction control off.

Toyo Open Country R/T

Toyo Open Country R/T Review

Overall the Toyo Open Country RT is overall great option for someone who likes to stay on roads with a hybrid tire, and yes who can compromise a little on it's wet grip. A pro tip though, if you have to run these tires in rainy season, just lower down the tire pressure it's going to help with the traction, also always drive these tires in rain with traction control ON at all times. The tire offers a great wear resistance, and it very robust with 3 ply strong sidewalls which can take on pretty much any kind of sharp close encounters.
