I just picked up some general grabber A/Tx (215/75r15) on Amazon for $128 a pop. Previously had the general grabber at2s which were also a steal. Amazing tires with long life and good performance in Midwest winters.
Owner reviews for tires
Continental Terrain Contact A/T…great tire in all conditions.
Wildpeak A/T3w, cost roughly the same as the trails. 3 peak rated. They’re made especially for the 3W’s that they advertise. Wear, Winter and Wet conditions. They still aren’t super aggressive like most AT tires which make them great on road too. I’ve ran them for over a year, they’ve been great to me.
Nobody ever talks about Hankook Dynapro AT2's and I dont know why. I havent really tested mine on tough trails, but they have been great on rutted out fire roads and on city streets. So far so good.
Once my Yokohama geo lander tires are done I’m sticking to them for my 23 fozzy wilderness
I have toyo open country AT3s and absolutely love them.
I'm on my fourth set of Falkens, because they work.. They perform great in anything; I live in the Canadian Rockies, and they are one of two all weather tires that qualify as "Snow tires" under both British Columbia and Quebecs mandatory snow tire laws. We've been to the Arctic Ocean twice, and into deep southern Mexico, down the length of Baja, and across the continent with them. We have never been stuck that we couldn't self rescue, and not one blowout in either Arctic trip.
The CrossClimates are wonderful tire. I just put on a few 100km of light off road as you requested and no issues at all. They are wonderful in rain and snow. The only downsides would be: unidirectional and the aggressive thread pattern seems to suck up the rocks pretty good. But if you do mostly highway, these truly are an all climate tire.
I have Wildpeak 265/70/17's on my 2016. I just got them in spring so I cannot say what snow performance is. I did lose about 3 MPG. I don't drive the truck much so not a big deal to me. They look great and I hear they get a lot of miles, but we will see.
Hankook makes some of the cheapest crappiest tires. There was an issue with premature wear on the Explorers. Michelin is better but not hugely better. I'd use Continental DWS06 any day of the week.
