Default All-terrain tires offroad?

I just learned that my two front mud terrains have been chunked out on the inside walls so I have to get new tires. I've always been thinking about going 35s so that's what I'm going to do. SO, does anyone have any experience with all-terrains offroad/mud/snow and how do they hold up? Also do you notice and better MPGs with all-terrains?

Thanks!

I run BFG KO's and love them. They are super quiet on the highway, and I have used them in all types of off road driving. No, they will not take me through a mud bog very well, but as I have said so often on the forum, run what works for you, and not what someone on the forum told you looked great.

AT's perform well and will give both better mpg and wear. Only downside is they don't perform as well as the mud tires in certain conditions. So if it's a DD and doesn't see a lot of wheeling then a AT is a good choice. Just my

All Terrains can certainly hold their own...

It all depends on how you want to play. I want a more agressive tread, but they may be great for you.

Check out the Cooper tires. ( Discoverer S/T or the STT) You will be impressed.
Long tread wear and good performance. High void and traction on a good A/T tire.

What are you people doing running your Jeeps offroad?!? Don't you know that'll void the warranty!


But if you're looking for a good all-around tire, lots of people are liking the Duratracs. They're a hybrid AT/MT tire.
