bought these tires about 6 months ago i drive over an hour to work every day and i run over a mountain in the winter ive had no issues with traction in snow or ice (but not much gets traction on an icy mountain). off road the best tire ive ever had they pull through mud like its not even there rips right through everything. im in an offroad club and ive seen alot of different tires these are by far one of the best tires out there. wet rock and even snow covered rock they pull right up i would buy these over and over again i hav lost 2/32" in 11,000 miles but i rotate at every oil change

These replaced the OEM Bridgestone Dueler and have made a huge difference. Road Noise is almost non-existant, it now feels more like a sports car, corners like their on rails. Have got to test them in snow, ice and mud and all have been impressive, no concerns at all about driving in the mountains on snow-packed or icy roads. Added bonus is their rated for 65K Miles.

We use our XUV for everything - highway, around town, and even for plowing with a Western plow. The Firestone Dest A/T's are just the perfect tire. Even with 30K miles on them they are quiet on the highway with nice, responsive (for an SUV) handling, they get great traction in mud and snow - even when pushing a plow and snow uphill.
They have also worn very evenly. With infrequent rotation and a set of bad shocks for a whole summer (thanks to the plow), and even under-inflation for a couple months, the wear patterns are very even across all 4 tires, with no trailing ridges or other unevenness. Great tires, and we'll be replacing this set with another when the time comes.

Tire is what it is, a great off-road tire that works well on the highway. With all the other mods on the truck its hard to blame the tires for any handling issues. Truck is made to drive to off-road areas them off-road. The tire gets through almost anything I throw at it of road. Mud, rocks, snow. Not great on ice but I have chains for that.
Never an issue on the road with slipping but got on some slippery packed snow/ice off road and they spun. The tall skinnies (235/85) helped a lot.
Love them, will replace with the same if/when they wear out.

By far the best tire for snow I have ever had. I wanted a knobby tire that was good in mud and off-road but still gave me good snow traction, this tire is it. I will never buy a different type of tire.

Replaced General Grabber HT's. They were a decent tire on the highway but that is about it. After 30k they were useless. I picked these up prior to winter and they have preformed very well so far. Great in rain and snow. Decent in mud as well. The ride quality is not the best but the price was right and the warranty is there. Tire looks good on the truck too. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up.

OEM tires- great on the hwy, great ride comfort, low noise, very good in the rain and excellent braking, not so good in mud "duh" it's not a off road tire! The only weakness is tread wear replaced at 22,000. On a lighter truck with less power-as rear tires wear faster on the 5.7 ltr engine, though my sister has the same tire on her 4x4 Tundra short cab, 5 ltr engine and looks like she will get 40 to 50k miles on them. If it was not for the high wear I would have bought a second set with no hesitation!

In the 8000 miles I've had these, I have covered lots of miles at 75-80, drove most of the backroads in Death Valley and the California coastal mountains, climbed hills in snow and covered lots of highway miles in snow. The ATR does all of these roles superbly and I can't think of any other tire that would do all this better! I have been on sand, gravel, rock, mud, snow and bad pavement! I highly recommend this tire unreservedly. Best thing you can buy if you use unpaved roads and great even if you don't. Kudos to Pirelli!

ON MY 2006 FORD F350 CC DRW 4 WD DIESEL. I WENT OLD SCHOOL AND WITH THE HELP OF THE TIRE RACK CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF( THANK LESLIE AND ALEX) I MATCHES 4 DURA TRAC REAR AND 2 WRANGLER FRONTS. YES THEY INITIALLY WERE UNSURE OF MY DECISION HOWEVER THE DECISION WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. MY TRUCK CAME WITH GOODRICH TA'S. THE WERE NICE DRY ROAD TIRES BUT ANY MUD OR SNOW AND THEY BECAME SLICKS. MY COMBO HAS CHANGED THE DYNAMICS OF THIS TRUCK AND ALLOWS ME MORE NON 4WD USE ON MARGINAL ROADS, SAVING FUEL. THANKS AGAIN TIRERACK

This is the second set of these tires on the same vehicle. First set were changed after 54,000 miles and the current set I am running are at 31,000 miles. These are a good tire for the price that I would consider purchasing again. Both sets have been rotated regularly at 7,000 mile intervals.

Here is what I have noticed. Traction is very good in snow covered roads and fields however they load up in mud so I would not want to try pushing these thru a lot of mud. Your typical little bit of mud on back roads and farm field access roads they should be able to handle. Highway and wet roads they are excellent and provide a very good stable, quiet and soft ride. On both sets I have owned the ride has become noticeably stiffer around the 35,000 mile mark. My first set I changed at 54,000 miles but I think this second set will only make it to around 45,000 miles.

My only negative on these is the ride characteristic change with 35,000 miles on them. If these provided the same ride for 50,000 miles I would buy another set without question but since both sets on this truck have changed at that mileage I may look for another tire for my next set.

Now, I said probably not but them mainly because I would get the mud terrain brethern bf goodrich mud terrain ko. I think that the tires are amazing. They have wonderful traction in every condition on the road, and I try to drive as "spirited" as possible, giving the road conditions. They do provide a heavy duty resistance, curb hopping,driving through pot holes and poorly paved roads. My tie rods gave out before these tires with no gashes. My jeep has an absurd amount of road noise, but they are not from my tires! I would put these on my truck, and my tahoe, but not for a vehicle that regularly plays in the mud. Mud just gets trapped in the treads and it is like wheeling with slicks. They are all terrains an not mud terrains. for every instance on adn off road with out mud these tires are superb!

I purchased 5 tires and have had them rotated every 5k. My driving is almost all city and highway but I have taken a few Alpine Loop trips and put 2 80 mile trips of nothing but dirt and rock road and they have been flawless. I am absolutely amazed at the tread life of this tire. I have put 47k on them I still have 3/4+ tread left and can see getting 90k maybe 100k out of the set, honestly they still look new. Besides unreal tread wear they don't really do anything great..., deep snow, light snow, or even off road, but they do everything previously mentioned very good. I have not tested them in mud or on sand, but 10" of snow wasn't an issue and they preform good on ice. IMHO these are the best all around tires you can buy.

These tires are installed on a vehicle that is used for a number of purposes, including commercial and STORM CHASING. That said it sees alot of highway and country roads which include dirt, gravel, mud, and even fields. I selected this tire because it has a great warranty and the tread pattern is an awesome mix of all season and touring and is aggressive enough to be used in light offroad situations. This tire is probably the BEST value out there. The only complaint I can think of is that they have some sidewall flex, but they are 70 series tires, why wouldn't they? I have used these in practically every weather sitiation I can think of and didn't have a problem, save for ice traction (they aren't dedicated ice tires, after all). To boot they are a very smooth and comfortable tire, so even if you aren't chasing weather they are an excellent touring tire.

Excellent street-able mud tire, good wear if you keep them rotated and monitor pressure. They cut through deep snow like they are heated. Good self-cleaning characteristics in deep mud, like most other tires, they cake up in deep/wet heavy clay.

Note regarding other reviews: Ignore idiots that can't spell, type in all CAPS and put "C" load range tires on 3/4 & 1 ton pickups. Consider the source.

I've had multiple sets of BFG M/T on vehicles and they've never let me down. If you get stuck with these you either don't know how to drive, or were doing something stupid. If you're experiencing poor wear (and are marginally smart enough to run appropriate pressure and rotate frequently), your junk vehicle probably needs suspension work. If you like Chevy's and Goodyear M/Ts... well, I can't help you, cause you can't fix stupid.

This tire was on a mildly modified 24 valve cummins that I used as a daily driver as well as frequent sled pulling and playing in mud. The tire greatly out performs the super swamper iroks that I had before these in all types of terrain and in tread wear . I would highly recommend this tire for anyone looking for an aggressive tire .

I bought a 2007 Nissan Xterra with 50k miles and these tires came with it. I have 90k miles on the Xterra now, and these tires have been great. I live in Wisconsin and have run the Xterra through 15 inches of snow going through corn fields, and they handled great. Even in moderate mud they still grip and pull you out. To give you some perspective, last winter a UPS truck was stuck in my cul-de-sac and I have able to tow it out. With 4 wheel drive, a little knowledge of snow driving, and these tires.. You'll be fine.
