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.

anyone have any experiences with at's

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.

A/T 's

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

man i had some super swamper trxus m/ts on my old 96 ford psd and those damn things would just spin spin spin on wet roads and break loose around corners no fun but im runnin nitto terras on my 2000 24v and they do good in rain and mud and are quiet BUT they wear so freakin fast its pissin me off! id stick with some bfg a/ts if i were you

 

[mbshooter]

so which at's will work better in the rain bfg's , yokohama geolannder, trxus sts, mt atz, kumho, nitto, cooper? any other suggestions?

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.

Get yourself some Micky Thompson Baja ATZ AT's Nuff Said!

 

[strai8up]

Nitto terra is a great rain tire!

 

[PETEDOCTOR]

Cooper st's do great in the rain and every other surface I have thrown at them.

Read the reviews at Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels

I bought General Tire (Top Rated) HANDLERS for my 2WD Highway Rig............

well i had a blow out at 6am the other morning on the way to work. so time to start looking for tires very soon.

i am just curious which will work better in the fl rains

Toyo ATs. Best tire I have ever had. Great traction in every condidtion and wear pretty well. The only downside is they dont look nearly as aggresive as most other ATs or MTs. But Ill take functionality over looks

It has been raining in Maine for 30 days straight.....
Great time to test my new Mickey Thompson ATZ
These are by far the best tire I have ever owned!

And trust me I have been through some tires...

 

[mbshooter]

how many miles are you getting out of the mt atz's?
