wet weather at's or mt's

[mbshooter]

i am starting to look for a set of tires for the truck and need something that will have good traction in the rain. i would like a tire that works great and also looks good. the truck mainly sees alot of highway/roads and some trails.

My opinion is the mt's were great at first because they have a big area to displace the water. Now with about an 1/8" of tread left I already did a 360 down the road in the rain and always spin. They are as good as slicks with the big tread blocks when they wear down. I say get rid of them at about 1/2 tread or get something with better siping.

I have got BFG all terrains and they have worked really well for me thusfar. I drive mostly on road and some off highway driving...mostly rocky roads and i got a chance to test them in the snow this winter. I have been really impressed with them. They seem to be wearing nicely and dont slip much at all in the rain...if any. I will say that they cake up easily in the mud so probaly not the best for that. Alot of off road magazines I've read say that all terrains might be better for what you say you want to do with them. Sorry for the long post but I hope this helps.

I have Nittos terra graplers a/t's and it has been really wet around here this spring and they have been great. Probably best wet tire I have had. I have 15k on them so far so good.

When I use to run 305/55-20 BFG AT's I would hydroplane in the rain where ever the was a low spot on the highway in the ruts where the water collected. Not fun. I haven't been any any hardcore rain with my mud grapplers but they should be slightly better because of the large voids that the water can escape from.

I Have have had a lot better luck with the At's in the rain the Mt's I had on before. They were always breaking loose on the road. Thats is mainly why I switched to the At's

I like my toyo M/T's. This is the third set on this truck. Don't notice any spinning on the wet roads, Do get a little hydro planing if it is real deep and running pretty fast. Other than that I think they are better than the the BFG a/ts I had on the ford, and much better than the ssr's on my second gen, the traxxus M/ts were pretty good on the second gen too. oh and I get about 30k on them and only rotate them once.
