IMO the Wrangler MT/Rs are the worst mud terrain out there, and its not even cheap!

all three are a great tire .nitto sometimes has the best deals I sell alot of both the m/t and the toyo's never had any dissapointments

Check the tire rack.com for different tire comparisons, prices and customer comments. I have a set of Revo's and they are one of the best tires I've ever had especially on wet pavement.

best A/T tire in my opinion is either the BFG All Terrian KO or the Nitto Terra Grappler or Toyo Open Country (Nitto and Toyo are the same company), I sell both everyday and rarely have any comebacks with either.

i have the M/T Atz on my Excursion 325/65/18 and i love them, the wear is great have about 16k on them, they don't make much noise at all, great looking tire! would definitely buy them again.

I've had the Nitto A/Ts and the Toyo Open Country A/T's and I think they last about half as long as my old BFG AT KO's. (30K mi vs. 60+ for the BFG's)

I like the BFG's as well, as long as you don't leave the road with them. They load up WAY too easily off road. They wear very well, but they sometimes can require a lot of weight to balance correctly, and require re-balancing over the life of the tire.
Since the bulk of my driving with the Ex is on-road, I'm going to try the Revos next time around only due to the fact they seem to get the best reviews of any A/T tire for resistance to hydroplaning- something I find pretty important with my family inside and a load on the back. The BFGs are acceptable in the rain, but not something I'd write home to mama about.

Wasn't Mickey Thompson murdered by a business partner? I went from BF Goodrich AT to Firestone and the Firestone were much quieter.

Yeah, about twenty years ago.

If I was purchasing tires right now I would take a serious look at Pro Comp. They are running their buy 3 get 1 free promo this month. Not a bad tire for the money. If one was paying for all four I wouldn't buy them. They are a little on the pricey side. Worth the money is one jumps on board for the promo.

As for the other brands. I don't even know why we discuss this topic as much as we do. Everyone has their favorite, everyone has their least favorite. Not any one brand works for everyone.

We sell a lot of Nittos. Not a high mileage tire, but don't have problems with them either. As for the supply issue...haven't seen that problem in over two years. I think their popularity started to outweigh their supply for a short time.

BFG is an overpriced tire IMO. Not a bad tire, but then again I don't think it's a great tire either. Don't like the way they wear.

Toyo is a good option. Can't find anything bad to say about them. They don't seem to be as popular at our shop as the Nittos, but I do like them.

Mickey would be another nice choice. Gonna pay a little for them, but they do have some cool tread patterns.

I say any tire that one puts on a 3/4 ton or heavier 4wd diesel and lasts 35-40k is a good tire. We're not driving Honda Accords here folks.
