I’ve only put 6k miles on my new set of General Grabber ATX’s. Thus far, very happy. On my half ton I had, I put General Grabber AT2’s on and they were spectacular. The AT2 was the predecessor to the current ATX.

Yeah I run the same tires on my 2500. (General Grabber ATX - load range E)
Great tires, had them for a few years now. Winter up here is a big deal and we run to the UP towing a 23ft trailer to ride sleds so I definitely wanted the best winter traction available in an all terrain type tire.

These tires are exceptional in the snow, in 4wd it makes the truck like a tank. Screenshot from tire rack below

On my F150's (last four pickups have been F150's) I had problems through the 90's with Goodyear tires being fine until about 50K then no wet traction at all. One day they were fine, next day they were sliding everywhere. Changed to Michelin LTX A/Ts and have great traction, great handling, quiet(ish), fair mud/snow handling, and average about 120K to 125K miles per set. I think I'm on my 4th set (I put about 30K miles a year on a truck) and the current tires I took off my last truck with about 30K on them, have about another 45K on this truck (after factory tires went bad at about 65K) and they're still like new.

My 2017 Tundra was delivered with BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2. They are passing 57k miles. I have always thought they were a little noisy on the highway but overall I've been very pleased with them.

My tire guy thinks they may have another 5k miles left but I didn't want to wait until they were critical given the supply shortages that exist. I've got a new set of those same type tires sitting in my garage that will be installed tomorrow.

I'm pretty cheap / frugal with everything except tires... Michelin tires only please.

The top of the line Costco tire is made by Michelin. Not sure about the others

Michelins on my F-250. Good thing its 4wd because of poor traction on anything except roads. Cooper Discoverer AT3 on my F-150 because I need a truck I can rely on for my farm work without getting stuck when I go off road. So F-250 ends up being used for why I bought it - heavy towing like grain filled gravity boxes, trailer with CTL, etc.

How are these in snow? They are what my tire guy is recomending.

I've currently got some Bridgestones on the vehicle I bought used. Does anybody know how these are on snow?

Most of what people drive in is hard pack or would more fit into the ice traction section of the graph. Very rarely do you drive in 1' or more fresh snow on a road unless you are breaking trail with a truck then dedicated mud/snow tire is preferred. We live in the snow belt and maybe twice a year do we see over a foot on the roads, hardpack is way more frequent and temps are in the low 30's high 20's and it is slick. More like ice than anything else. That is when I pull most people out of the ditch anyway! CJ

Wow! I’ve never heard of anyone getting that kind of mileage from any AT tires. You must really baby your Tundra. Last time we went trail riding I got a screw driver in the middle of the tread on a front tire. The other one lost 2 tread lugs and end up looking terrible but functioned just fine.

I probably do baby it. Mostly highway miles and rotating the tires every 5k to 7k miles. My rugged trail riding adventures in the Tundra consist of driving across about 100 yards of hard pack pasture from a gravel drive to my barn 2 or 3 times a week.

Has to cut my spare tire cable on the side of the road. Junk yard for one without a key for $20.
I also run trail finder a/t from discount tire on my f150 and expedition.

Not sure what is on my truck now...cooper discover maybe in the back? The front are different and were replaced when I bought the truck a few years and 10k miles ago.

I always liked the tread design of the michellin LTX M/S. Just looks like an excellent all season tire and really good winter tire without actually getting a "snow" tire. But....my local tire shops dont carry them, so on my last truck I with with a real similar tire which was a mastercraft HXT. Tread design looks almost identical to the LTX M/S. And they were a good tire.....but 25k miles and they were about due for replacement. And that was on a dually truck that didnt see many easy highway miles....it was all either towing a GN or plowing.

On my new truck....I am about ready to replace the 4 rears. And have been reading up on a lot of diesel and truck forums about the best tire for highway towing (dont plow any more). The ones I commonly see suggested are bridgstone duravis, Firestone transforce, and michellin ltx's. A few others recommended here and there....but those 3 are the most commonly suggested.

I done had my mind made up that this time around I was spending the extra $$$ and getting the michelins. Unfortunatally they dont offer them in the popular dually size of 235/80r17. I can get the AT/2's but I just dont like the slick look of the tread design for winter driving....even though people say they are great in the winter. I am probably gonna go with 245/75r17 in the back...because they are the same diameter....just sucks they dont offer the factory size.

I know I have heard alot of negative about the transforce tires....but it is consistantly one of the top three commonly recommended on diesel/towing forums.

On my old truck Michelin, but they were terrible except dry pavement. F150 Goodyear wrangler, 90,000 from first set
