Here are my Michelin ltx a/t2's. A little stiff for my truck but they've softened up and/or im just used to it now! I've had them in some light mud and snow and they seem to perform really well for an "old man tire" haha. I'll buy this size again in like 10 years when these finally wear out!
Just put on these Duratracs. Love them already. Took them up to the high desert this weekend. Performed great! Put them through snow, melting snow with mud underneath and high speed gravel. Think this size is perfect for smaller underpowered rigs like old Toyotas. Looking forward to finishing my regear project once I track down a 4.56 rear. I can definitely feel the difference between these being 32" tall compared to my old 31" Bfg ats. Can't believe how quiet they are for how aggressive they look...
I have had an off-brand 235 85 r16 mud tire on my on my m38a1 for years. running them on the original steel 5x16s. It has been very effective.
This winter, I put a set of duratracs on my Rubicon. awesome in the snow, and unbelievably quiet. perhaps a bit harsher ride, but not by much. I think it's more than offset by the skinny tires not finding every pothole in the road
When I bought the truck it had 265 70 16 General Grabber AW tires. They worked well on pavement, however after a few off road trips they were well chewed up. In January we moved from California to Arkansas. I didn't like the idea of driving cross country on questionable tires. After much research I settled on the General Grabber AT2. My first impression was they were loud, gave a rough ride, cornered horribly and made my truck slower through larger size and extra rotational weight.
After driving on a dirt road I noticed the dirt was not coming off the outer 3/4" of the tire. I checked the air pressure and found it to be at 40PSI. I lowered it a few psi until the dirt would come off evenly. The new psi is 30 in the front, 29 in the back. It's a much smoother ride, corners better and seems to be wearing more evenly.
I recently drove from Dallas to Little Rock in the snow and ice. I was super impressed by the new tires. This was the most secure I've ever felt driving in the snow. I haven't had a chance to go off roading but have been on several gravel roads. The tires hook up very well on gravel. I'm very happy with these and would get the same size again.
My 2001 Tacoma DC 4WD TRD with OME and BFG AT 235/85-16. I've been running them for 18 months and I'm absolutely delighted with this combination on the truck.
