Who am I?
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.
Firestone Destination AT2 Review
Well when it comes to Firestone Destination AT2, the tire provides a very decent on road performance. But then again they are very less aggressive, especially, on the shoulders and sidewalls. And yes, there are not too protected too, so you are not going to get the confidence with them if you dare to take them on rugged terrains.
Nitto Ridge Grappler Review
The Nitto Ridge is going to perform much better off road than on highways. But the tire is still good enough for roads. There are not too loud, provide satisfactory ride quality, all is good except their wet handling.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT Review
The Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT is although an aggressive variant compared to it's other members, the 4S and the LT, it's still better suited for highways compared to off road. But still the added sidewall lugs on the tire provides additional support on mild rocky and muddy terrains, where they provide a very well established traction on sand. The tire is also impressive on snowy terrains and has 3pmsfr.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT vs Toyo Open Country AT3
Both tires are 3PMSF and M+S rated, so like seen above, they are both great on snow. On highways, the Toyo Open Country AT3 is superior on dry roads as it's tread provides greater stability values. Whereas the Cooper AT3 XLT is better on wet roads because of it's effective siping design.
Nitto Recon Grappler Review
Well, I'd say in between. Nitto Recon Grappler is a confusing tire on wet, and it does not provide enough lateral stability there, and I am not talking about just roads, wet rocks, or gravel, on any wet patch, the tire would show slippage due to lack of lateral traction. Moreover, although the tire isn't branded with 3pmsf rating, it still provides good enough snow performance, though lacks on icy terrains.
Hankook Dynapro AT2 Review
So to sum up, the Hankook Dynapro AT2 is an excellent all-rounder, earning it a place on our list of top all-terrain tires, but only when it comes to dry traction, noise and handling capabilities. And yes winter traction too (it comes with 3 peak mountain snowflake rating). But the tire really needs to improve its wet traction, impact comfort, and fuel economy as it render high rolling resistance.
Kenda Klever RT Review
The Kenda Klever R/T comes right in the middle of All Terrain and Mud Terrain tires, so the tire is also called a hybrid besides Rugged Terrain. Other popular tires in the RT category include Duratrac, Nitto Ridge Grappler and Toyo RT, and compared to these all, this tire provide satisfactory dry grip but lacks on wet pavements. Klever RT is also not 3PMSF rated but offers good traction on deeper snow which can be enhanced with its stud-able lugs .
Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT vs BF Goodrich KO2
Let's start with KO2, this tire is one of the toughest you can get (staying in A/T tires) so with that combined with it's powerful biting lugs, the tire provides tremendous off road traction. On the other side, the Cooper AT3 has an on road oriented design and with less durable inner construction, it's able to provide better highway stability, as it gets to be lighter in weight.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro Review
Overall, I am pretty impressed with what Cooper STT pro can do, especially on rocks, where it impresses you the most. The high durability of the tire is also very confidence inspiring, where you take these tires anywhere carefree. On mud these tires act as paddle tires and you are not going to have any complaints there, though can't say the same about sand, though if you are going to run them there, go with smaller load ratings.
