Some tires are better on pavement, some dominate off-road, and others balance both
0:06
And after watching hours of videos and reading countless owner reviews, I finally found the 8 best all-terrain truck tires
0:14
And don't worry about sizing, because all these come in options from 15 to 22 inches
0:19
fitting full-size SUVs to half-ton pickups. And if you find something you like, I'll leave links to all these tires in the description below
0:27
First up, if you want a good mix of highway comfort and off-road traction with also a long tread life warranty, my pick is the Hancock Dynamo Pro AT2 Extreme
0:40
So right away you'll notice the multi-directional grooves and sipes on the tread
0:46
Now these little cuts help the tire bite into the road and handle different conditions, like rain, light snow, or loose gravel
0:54
Now, the sidewalls are beefed up with deep shoulder blocks that protect against cuts
1:00
and chips, which is super helpful when airing down for sandy trails and because it's 3
1:06
peak mountain snowflake rated, it'll also give you peace of mind in winter weather
1:11
And as for the highway, Hancock added tie bars between tread blocks to reduce wiggling, so
1:17
the tire stays planted on sharper turns. Now it's also quieter than expected for an all-terrain and this is due to a stepped thread pattern that cuts down on road noise
1:28
And as one owner said, these ride well, are not as loud as many other brands and last better than most
1:35
And when it comes to longevity, Hankook's 60,000 mile warranty speaks for itself
1:40
And the price is also a bit lower than some bigger name competitors, making it a great value
1:45
Now, if you spend a lot of time on paved roads, towing a boat, or trailer, but still want solid off-road capability, then the Nexen Rodian ATX is a great option
1:56
The first thing that stands out is its strong, dry braking performance. You can see how the tread blocks have these 3D kind of sipes and big shoulder lugs
2:05
And this helps the tire grab onto the pavement and stop even in tough conditions
2:09
And when you take it off-road, it holds up. and as John put it, they have terrific grip and can take up beating
2:16
And in many sizes, it's a three-peak mountain snowflake rated, so you'll get at least some level of winter traction
2:23
Now, despite the aggressive sidewall design, the ride stays surprisingly comfortable. Nexen added three-ply construction on certain light truck sizes
2:32
so if you're towing or hauling heavy loads, the tire should at least feel stable in corners
2:37
Now, it also has dual side walled styling, so depending on your preference, you can mount
2:43
it with the bold design facing out or go for the simpler looking side And Nexen backs it up with a strong warranty of up to 65 miles on P versions Plus you get road hazard coverage for the first couple
2:58
of years. And if dry weather traction, especially braking, is a top priority, then the Rodian ATX
3:03
is going to be a great choice. Okay, so if you want a quieter ride and a tire that sipes less fuel
3:09
then check out the Firestone Destination AT2. Now this tire stands out for its low rolling
3:15
resistance which basically improves fuel economy. So if you're driving a truck or SUV daily
3:20
you'll have no issues with it. Now Firestone gave this tire a new tread design that's more
3:25
open at the shoulders and uses 3D interlocking sipes, meaning it grips well on dirt, gravel
3:31
and even moderate mud while still providing solid traction on wet pavement. And like many other
3:37
tires on this list, it's also going to be 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake rated, so it's built to handle
3:42
serious winter weather. Now the 55,000 mile warranty is respectable, especially for a tire
3:48
that leans slightly more off-road than a typical highway tire, and if you drive on these, you'll
3:54
notice how smooth they feel, even on rough roads. Now the bigger voyage and the thread help with
3:59
water evacuation too, so you'll have less risk of hydroplaning in heavy rain. Now for occasional
4:06
campsite trails or muddy job sites, this tire holds perfectly. But if you're rock crawling or
4:13
hitting deep mud every weekend, then you'll need something a bit more aggressive than this tire
4:19
And as this owner said, they're good looking, quiet, grip well, good in the rain, just an all
4:24
around excellent all terrain tire. Alright, now for the best value category, I picked the Bridgestone
4:30
Dueler AT Revo 3 as it comes at a competitive price and is great for highway driving with
4:35
decent off-road capability. Now one thing that stands out in this is the symmetrical thread
4:40
design. It's fairly mild for an all-terrain but it still gives you the added grip and dirt or
4:46
shallow mud. Now Bridgestone calls this the traction clawed technology which is basically
4:51
the pattern of ridges around each thread block that grips loose surfaces. While it's not as
4:56
aggressive as some other tires on this list, it does offer a softer ride on pavement and it's
5:01
quieter than you'd expect and Elton put it simply it looks good it rides smoothly no noise I really
5:08
like what I picked. Off the line the Revo 3 feels responsive steering isn't mushy and cornering at
5:14
high speeds feels stable and it also comes with a 60,000 mile limited warranty which is good for
5:20
this category and if you like old school styling then they even come with these white leathered
5:25
sidewalls. Now it's not three peak mountain snowflake certified so if you'll deal with a lot
5:29
of heavy snow then you might want to choose something else with stronger winter performance But for most drivers in milder climates or those who only see snow occasionally then the Revo 3 gets the job done well Now speaking of snow if you battle slush and ice
5:45
every single winter, then you might want to choose a tire that pushes water away even better. And
5:50
that's where the Michelin LTX-82 stands out. Now it's kind of an older design, but it's still going
5:56
strong because it works. Michelin used their max touch construction in this tire, which spreads the
6:01
load evenly across the thread, helping with even wear and a comfortable ride. They also used a
6:07
silica-based compound that's known for top-notch hydroplaning resistance. And from many owners
6:12
experiences, these tires stay calm in heavy rain, then you maintain speed without feeling like you're
6:18
skating in water. Plus, they stay quieter than many other all-terrains as the miles add up. It can
6:24
handle gravel, light dirt, and small ruts pretty well. But it's not built for deep mud or serious
6:30
rock crawling. The sidewalls also have a more simple look, so if you want something that's a
6:35
little bit more aggressive, then you might prefer something else. Now the real magic however, is how
6:40
long these tires actually last. So even though Michelin backs them with a 60,000 mile warranty
6:45
plenty of drivers report getting even more life with proper rotations. And if you don't believe
6:50
me, just like what Nick had to say. I bought 6 of them for my Ram 3500 Duale. As of today
6:56
the running mileage is 123,000 and still some may go. Excellent tires. I'm thinking of buying again
7:01
Also, if you're having a good time watching this video, then don't forget to hit the subscribe button. Now we come to the Continental Terrain Contact AT, which I like to call the crowd-pleaser
7:11
tire looking at all the customer reviews. So if you want something reliable year-round with strong
7:16
wet braking that can still handle light off-roading, then this might be your safest bet. The Terrain
7:21
Main contact AT uses Continental's traction plus technology to improve grip on wet roads
7:27
which is a pretty big deal if you live in a rainy region. The tread blocks into gravel and dirt, but they're not spaced so far apart that they
7:35
create loud road noise. Many owners find these surprisingly quiet for an all-terrain, which is a huge plus if
7:41
you commute often. The 60,000 mile limited warranty shows that Continental's built these to last
7:48
And while the sidewalls aren't overly aggressive, they're still tough enough to handle rocky
7:52
paths or tree stumps on weekend camping trips. Now this tire is pretty good in light snow, stable in rain, and durable enough in rougher terrain
8:03
I'd say it's perfect if you spend about 80% of your time on the road and about 20
8:08
of the time off-road. So if you want one set of tires that can do it all, the Terrain Contact AT might be exactly
8:15
what you need. But lets say you need a little bit more off road toughness, then the good years wrangler
8:21
lineup is legendary and the all terrain adventure with kevlar is exactly what you should be looking for Now this tire is best known for its off durability and the biggest selling point is the
8:33
layer of Kevlar inside the thread which is the same material used in bulletproof vests. But in
8:40
this case doesn't help against bullets it helps against punctures. The sidewall also uses something
8:45
Goodyear calls Durawall technology to resist cuts and scuffs. Now on gravel roads or sand
8:52
these tires feel planted and the open tread design helps with self-cleaning after driving in the mud
8:58
And now at the same time, they're also surprisingly comfortable on the highway. And as Michael put it
9:04
in his review, great traction without sacrificing fuel mileage. They ride smooth and quiet. I've had
9:10
them on about 6 months and really happy I bought them. Now some light truck sizes even come with
9:15
2 layers of kevlar and carry the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating making them a strong all season
9:22
option as well. The only downside is they're a bit pricier compared to their competitors but if
9:28
you want off-road confidence without turning your truck into a rolling tank then these are definitely
9:33
going to be worth it. Plus with a 60,000 mile warranty on most sizes they're built to last
9:38
Finally, let's talk about my top pick for an all-around winner. The Toyo Open Country AT3
9:45
Now right off the bat, Toyo gives you up to 65,000 mile warranty
9:49
The tread pattern is a bit more open and aggressive than many tires in this class so it can handle
9:54
mud, sand, or rocky trails without spinning your wheels. Yet the on-road noise stays surprisingly low and this is because Toyo designed the tread
10:03
blocks to reduce the usual humming that you hear at the highway speed
10:07
And like most tires on this list, it's also going to be 3 peak snowflake rated, meaning
10:11
if you're dealing with snow or slushy roads, then this tire is going to deliver a stable ride
10:17
And while the side walls are often 2 ply, they're still tough enough and still capable
10:21
of taking big hits on rocky terrain without major damage. Just take it from this owner
10:26
I'm a rock hound and spent a considerable amount of my summers on dirt roads in the mountains
10:31
of Idaho. So I bought a set of these and now I'll never buy anything else
10:35
Now if you ask me what the biggest selling point of these tires is, I'd say how predictable
10:40
they are. Whether you're pulling out of a wet parking lot or climbing a loose gravel hill, the AT3's
10:46
react consistently. No unexpected slips and no weird handling. So if you want to buy it once and you're done kind of all terrain, then the Toyo Open
10:55
Country AT3 is going to be the best choice. And that's all for today, I hope this list helped you choose the perfect all terrain tire
11:02
Remember, these tires come in a bunch of different sizes and specs so you can find the perfect
11:07
one that matches your truck or SUV. And if you found something you like, don't forget to check the description for all the
