American here. I just want to say I love how you spell tyres.

This video has made my decision so much easier. The side by side of all these options really helped. I will be going with the Falken Wildpwsks for my 5th gen 4Runner

Been running Falken AT3W in the Pacific Northwest on my F150 and F250. For towing, snow, rain, fire roads during hunting season, they are outstanding.

Something that is important to those of us in live in colder climates is whether a tyre is 3 peak mountain snowflake rated as this enables year round use instead of having to have a second set of winter tyres (this is a legal requirement in many places).

I have the Razr AT’s on my 2008 Wrangler. I can’t complain about them. I’m not off road a lot, but I feel confident that they won’t let me get stuck when I am. Plus, they’re pretty comfortable on-road, and the tire noise isn’t really that bad.

Great video you explain wet weather traction comfort and aggressiveness. This will make it a lot easier for the average person to understand. 👍

Great content. Haven't seen an unbiased review like this in a while.

Excellent synopsis and description of a wide range of tyres. Thank you for posting. Cheers from Ohio.

Having owned over half of these tires on various rigs over the years I can say that I almost always find myself favoring the BFG KO2's overall. The Toyo R/T's have been one of my favorites as well but they are quite heavy compared to the others in the range. The last two are more of a Hybrid than a true AT so it's almost unfair to show them in this comparison as there is certainly a Hybrid class of tires on the market today for those favoring something between an AT and a full blown MT. I am excited to see the new Toyo RT Trail as well as the rumored BFG KO3.

I'm running the Maxxis RAZR AT's and they are phenomenal. Great grip, quiet, no slipping in the wet, and they look 👌👌👌

This is the most helpful video there is, please do more like it. I would love to hear about some of the other tires also.

HAD A BUNCH ... SINCE '08 BEEN RUNNING COOPERS ... LOVE EM!

Wish I could buy you a beer for your effort’s making this video… Every 4wd enthusiast loves to talk tyres!

Went with the Yoko Geolander’s on my XC90. 70/30 is exactly the percentage we spend our time on the highway vs off road and it’s served well. Might get slightly more aggressive when it’s time to swap but only because we intend to spend more time off road. Great overview.

Our son works for a drilling company and they have a lot of 4x4 3/4 ton work trucks. They tried various tires and had their share of failures. They finally settled on the BF Goodrich KO 2.

Love the explanation, well presented. This will definitely help me with choosing the right brand for my needs.

I put a set of Firestone Destination A/T2's on my '04 Chevy Trailblazer EXT last July. I have been extremely happy with them! I don't do a lot of off-road adventuring, but they have done really well in the rain and snow. They're fairly quiet on the highway, as well. Nothing bad to say about them at all!

Thank you for this information. I've contemplated between the BFG Ko2 & the new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T! I really will plan on getting the Mickey's in a LT285/75 R16 for my 99 Toyota 4runner/Surf. However, this will be for next year, because I plan to invest in six of these! I just bought (6) of the Stealth Custom Series SR8's in 16x8 Dark Bronze! These are extremely hard to get in the "States", so I had to make a move on these quickly! The offset is -12 with a 4" back spacing. These will fit with some adjustments to the tub and relocations of certain accessories; however so, the look and capabilities will be glorious! 👍

Excellent review - nice ti hear from real experts

Very good Aussie comparison/review!

Loved the Wildpeaks on my 5th gen 4Runner for about 3 years and 23k miles. Then noticed 3 of 4 has significant weather cracking around the bead. Which was a big let down for otherwise a great performing AT. Getting them replaced with the Baja Boss ATs next week.

I have driven many thousands of miles in the desert and mountains of southern Arizona on BFG all terrain tires. Always have very good traction and never a flat tire. 84 4x4 pickup. 88 4x4 Blazer. 90 4x4 Suburban.

Very educational, especially the "nose in the groove" test !

For my needs i went with the Toyo at3 10ply 245/75/16 open country for my 03 Ranger 4x2, i have rocky ledge roads and ive never owned AT tires, and i can tell you they are very quiet and im very happy i did my research..👍

I've ran the Yokahoma G015 as a winter tire for.the last 4 years and they have performed great in all Canadian Prairie and Rocky Mountain conditions! Put 300lbs of sand bags in the box of my 2017 Ford F150 and I'm not worried about blizzard or slushy highway conditions. Very happy with their longevity!

I am glad to see you say BF Goodrich was your great starting point. I purchased multiple sets of BF Goodrich AT's and that was my first choice. Climbing 70% grades jumping a full size Bronco these tires never failed me. As a youth that was 1987. I went off course had to follow railroad tracks they took it, going over the rails. Taking the bouncing through the railroad ties like a champ.

It was the nose in the tread for me. Great vid. Very informative with a side of humor. Makes you human and very believable. Subscribing to the channel.

Had the G015s on my spacer lifted Subaru Outback. I’ll say they are the perfect tire for an adventure Subaru with a CVT. Don’t really need a mud tire or Rick crawler tire because it’s a CVT. Traded the Subaru in for a Jeep Wrangler. Came stock with 33” KO2s. I just bought 37” Wildpeak AT3W, hole I like em!

My KO2 works pretty good on my 2021 Tacoma TRD 4x4. Took it for some serious offroad, 15 miles took 16 hours to complete, through Forrest, deep water, mud, rocks. Still happy with it.

Great review, I am buying a 4 wheel drive and picking the correct tyre is important. Thanks again, Mayberry a review on the Cooper tyres could be considered. Cheers.

I bought a full set of Maxxis Razar ATs for my Ranger at about 40k, now at nearly 80, best tyres I’ve ever had. I’m not a serious off-road guy, but do a lot country driving, I would highly recommend them.

I have been running the MT Baja Boss on my Tundra TRD Pro for two years, great tires in all conditions, especially in the snow.

First thing I did for my 2020 JTR was swap to 315/70R17 BFG KO2's. I've put all three generations of KO2's on 4x4's since '97, and they just keep getting better. They have been excellent, as expected, for 60K Km's and are ready for replacement after deer season. The 50K mileage guarantee is fine, but if you drive like an a-hole no tire will last that long. HOWEVER, the WildPeak AT3W 285/70R17's I took off have been VERY impressive swapped on to my '93 YJ. It's weird driving it with 12.5" wide tires, I've had 33x10.5 KM2's for years, but the performance on rocks is excellent, while snow is handled way better than muds, as expected. There is some serious silicon in the tread compound, they hiss on the road and have really good traction in wet for wide tires on a light vehicle. Definitely some surface hardening after being parked during the week, the noise changes when the surface gets ground down in the first few miles. Daily driving this old beast is more fun with AT's than MT's, not going to say otherwise, but I can jump up the hill and wheel hard aired down to 8-9 PSI and get fantastic results. Either tire is a great choice, with the KO2 remaining my go-to. I've also run Goodyear Wrangler AT's , Firestone ATX (blech) and ProComp AT's on various 4x4's to benchmark the KO2's. For dual use vehicles, please be realistic and get a set of MT's to swap over to if you want to get muddy. It's STUPID to bitch about "this AT clogs up in mud" - don't be that guy. I learned to be really creative about mounting 37" ProComp MT's on an '06 H2 every Spring, and getting that heavy ass spare on was a booger! Swapping 33" KM's was cake compared to that. Saves money in the long run, you're not grinding up your MT's for no reason, and on-road 3 season performance with 3Peak AT tires is just so, so much better.

Every bit of 50K miles on my Falkens. Such a great tire and lasted very well. Still running them. I may hit 60K mi before they’re done. They’re much more pricey now compared to when I purchased a few years ago. I guess popularly and other market factors had a play.

Currently running 285/70/17 KO2s on my N80 Hilux Waiting on a shipment of RAZR AT Can’t wait to see/feel the difference Thanks for all the informative videos 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Great informative video mate 👍

I have the Falcon Wildepeaks on my Ram 1500. Very happy with them. Very good in winter and in rain. They’re quiet and ride smoothly. I don’t off road so no experience there. I’m at 30k kms and they still look good and perform fine.

Just put on All terrain Maxxis RAZR 285/60 R18, it ticks all the boxes. My initial concern was road noise. Ride is very comfortable. Great off capabilities too.

Well done, thanks for sharing.

This video is so helpful. I just bought a JLUR and I think I will go with the Yokahama GO15's in 33" (had these on my ute) then get a spare set of steelies with MT's on them for off-roading locally.

Good review, with the considerations mentioned, also very important is personal performance expectations in certain conditions. I drive 95% road, 5% off road, but value on/off road performance around 50/50 %. Personally running the falken At3w I'll be moving to duratrac's or the RAZR AT811 to fill the gap (wet grass At3w's Achilles heel). Cheers

Just changed over from Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/65/18 to KO2’s 285/70/17 on a 200 series and really impressed with the ride comfort and grip both on and Offroad.

Great video with incredibly useful info. Thanks.

Fantastic video! Thank you so much

I have general grabber at tires. They work well in rain and snow but don't handle nearly as well as the 3 sets of all terrain T/A's I had. Haven't had the latest BFG but that and the Mickey Thompson Baja boss A/T look really good for snow and maybe the falken wildpeak 👌

The ko2 is the best tire in the lineup, amazing all around tire and also does amazing in the snow and ice.

Excellent presentation

Very helpful video. Thanks a lot 🙏

Loving my baja boss AT’s, surprisingly quiet for how aggressive they look

Very informative. Thank you.

I am also in Canada and agree totally on the Geolander

I just replaced my high mileage 10 ply BFG KOs that still had respectable traction with 10 ply BFG KO2s. I will finally get to try them out in the mountains now that the snow has melted enough to allow access. In north Idaho/Montana we have thousands of miles of forestry roads that are used exclusively for snow mobiles until spring. It is infact illegal to drive on them with wheeled vehicles during winter. So I will be cutting fallen trees to get into the good spots I love so much. I like that Australians love off road even more than most, not all, Americans and I always trust Australian off-road products as proven and I have yet to be let down.

I'm running the GO15's (33's)on my two Gq patrols, very underestimated tyre for traction on and off road ,I follow everyone one with muddies(35's) even in mud clearance catches me out though , great value on my 5th set . Yoky's are awesome tyres .

I've been running on Kumho at 51's for about a year now. They are pretty quiet on the highway, really don't effect the gas mileage and have been quite good in snow, rain, ice and mud. I don't do a lot of "off roading" but I do spend some time on back roads and tracks. They also have one of the best warranties in the industry. And I find that they wear more evenly than the BFs, which I ran on for years. And yes, they are winter rated (cheaper insurance). They are also half the price of KO2's

Good review thanks for putting it together 👍

120,000kms on the falken at3w lots of gravel work , getting replaced in couple weeks and tred is still well and truly legal

i drive the yokohama g015 daily on my dacia(renault) duster 4x4… perfect for weekend trips with roof tent! Low noise! low fuel! mediocre grip on wet and snow but not horrible! I mean my car is not the most ambitious offroader but let me tell you this - my duster with the g015 got me to some really far off places … the wife and i love it!

Toyo rt has always been my favorite looking tire.

I just picked up the BFG KO3’s. Very aggressive sidewall but a tighter tread pattern. They’re gonna last a lot longer I think and be even better in the wet and snow.

I personally have ran Yokohama and had one separate and blow out causing damage, also have ran BF Goodrich which are soft and nice but couldn't get the mileage. So far I've found the Hankook Dynapro AT to be one of the better values for mileage and ride quality and also for a more rugged tire the goodyear Duratrac was excellent. The tires were off road every day running oil leases on f150, f250, f350 trucks

I love the wild peaks, at first I felt they were too tame but it’s perfect

I've been running the Milestar Patagonia MT for over a year and it is the best tire I have ever run on my truck ! low road noise and has been flawless on the terrain I see everyday !

Fantastic video my friend. Really enjoyed the info, as I'm looking for some good tyres😁👊❤️🇬🇧

Another vote for the Goodyear Duratrac. Certainly should have been in the line up, and while I'm running KO2 right now, I'd much rather have my old Duratracs again. Thanks for the vid, I'm considering the MT Baja Boss for the next shoes if I think they will compete with the Duratracs.

Would have been nice to have the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, the General Grabber ATX, the Toyo open country AT3s and the Pirelli all terrain plus as a comparison also. Also, are these LT tires or P rated? From what I can tell with all the research I did this week, the Falken Wildpeaks are one of the best and their prices have gone up to be one of the most expensive. That's why I'm not going with them now. I came across the Pirelli's and I really like what I'm reading on them as most of our time is spend on the road but in the Summer and Fall I'm in the bush and towing an 8500+ lbs tag along trailer with another trailer or boat behind that. My stock Wrangler SR-A have done the job fine but they are full of plugs and I had to put one in the side wall also thus is why I need new tires and don't want to experience a blow out while towing my camping trailer. Plus they are only 4 ply. 10 Ply is the way to go even on my half ton GMC. Hopefully the Pirelli's are as comfy as they claim to be.

Good info. Thanks mate.

Thanks for explanation.👌🏻 Cheers. 🍻

Big fan of the falken wild peak at3w, great off-road, on the snow, and super quiet on road trips, I found that it wears faster than advertised tho, I currently have bfg K02s and overall I’m not impressed, they are noisier, have okay off-road grip but man they are terrible in the snow, they feel like all seasons in the snow compared to a winter rated tire, but they do last super long, I’m def going to switch back come next winter

I had kumho mt51's from when they were released. Switched a year ago to the maxxis razr at811 and I absolutely love em! Don't get me wrong, the mt51's were good, but they are not as good as the at811

Very Interesting,Bring on more please.

Good review . I like the wild peaks they’re great on and off road.

7:09 BF Goodrich is owned by Michelin.

In my opinion the best AT tire was missing, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s. They seem to hit the sweet spot in terms of inroad handling (Especially in the wet) and off-road performance with a very affordable prices tag.

A great comparison showing how ATs can be so diverse.

Great review/comparison. I’ve run KO2’s on two Toyota SUV’s now and loved them. The Mickey Thompson’s are next.

The MAXXIS razr at 245/65/17 are a fantstic tyre in the wet & dry, much better than the Falken & Cooper which i have had previously.

I've got Hankook Dynapro MT01's on my 4wd. I got them because they were 2/3 the price of BFG and had good reviews including long life. Plus they are quiet (especially for MTs) and good on the road - even if wet. I'm coming up to 110,000km on them. The MT01 are now getting hard to find. The later versions get worse reviews.

I'm a mechanic working on mostly European vehicles. I have a fair bit of call for highway savvy tyres on SUVs like Disco 3 & 4s, VW Touaregs & Mercedes MLs etc. where they tow and want a bit more grip on grass etc., (towing a horse float to dressage etc.). Have good reports from clients on Pirelli AT/R and also Continental AX6: both similar and good on noise and very good in the wet; have also fitted alot of Cooper SRX which have a strong sidewall so less chance of rock damage on gravel roads when towing 2.5 tonne+ caravan around Australia. Had a client with a Disco 3, put on Michelin LTX Force: he said it transformed the vehicle on bitumen - way more confidence round rural bitumen roads.

Thank you for your, review and it helps me, a great deal as I do about 90% on road work.

I only got 48 thousand km from the faulken wild peaks. Good in the wet but wore down really quick. I have since put 20 thousand km on the bfg ko2’s on my dmax and can’t complain. Fantastic on gravel roads . We also put maxxis razr’s on our mux and they are awesome. Great in the wet too. Probably my pick of all terrain tyre.

Thank you, great info

The seating on the tire test is very important to us it shows how flexible the tire is. I wish it continues with all the tires.

Any tire is decent now in days with the rubber compound from r&d. air pressure is key a lot of people don't chalk test tires for right air pressure. A harder compound will last longer but less wet traction a softer one won't last as long but will grip wet roads like glue. Don't go off the stock tire pressure when getting a different size. Bfg's are overrated. There's plenty tires cheaper that do better over all. There's just a big fan base for them especially since it's the same tire for years. No one want to be the first to try a new tire for fear of getting something bad and wasting 1-2k$ if it does ok most will get just from fear of a lose. Bfg ko2 everyone has herd of because of how long they been selling and style never changes just the compound 🤷🏻 they last a long time but that hard compound hates wet roads. But they have d and c load ko2s now not as hard as e load probably a better option if you love ko2 but hate driving them on wet pavement

The problem with the Falkens is that even the C rated tires are really heavy. I can get E rated tires in the other brands for less weight… Tire weight affects performance, braking etc.

Good video. Helpful. I've been running the falkens for a couple years now and a great tyre. Wanting to step up to one of the slightly more aggressive all terrain tyres. Need help deciding between: Nitto Ridge Grappler AT and Maxxis Razr AT. Thoughts on the two?

Great video, thank you!!!

RT are not All Terrain, they are Rugged Terrain a different category from ATs.

ko2 are by far the most dangerous tyre i have ever owned,from new they were crap on wet roads(tar & dirt) sliding all over the place. Going back to coopers.

Nice advice 👍 I love the bit where you use your nose to show the width of the tread lock openings..I didn't see that coming 😆

Love it if you could throw the tyre on a stand that rotates them so we can see the side wall as well. Great video as always

The BFG maybe the ‘boss’ based on sales, I suspect this could be due to marketing. It is one of the WORST tyres I have ever driven on a wet grease road. A good contender you missed: pirelli all terrain plus. I think one of the best all terrains, great on road and great off road.

I have been running BFGs ATs for many years. My current set is full of weather crackS at 20k. I will be going with something different this time around.

I am running bfg ko2 33 on my tacoma . I love them & just purchased a second set . I got about 45k miles out of the first set. I plan running toyo open country a/t on my silverado when my stocks need replacing.

Great information thank you

I have had several SUV 4Wheelers starting with a 97 S10 Blazer 4 door, then a 2009 Ford Escape and now a 2014 4Runner trail. The Blazer and the Escape came with street oriented tires and they were not good off road. I did upgrade the Blazer to Interco Trxus STX tires and they were super aggressive, noisy and wore out quickly. Great off road though. On the Escape we upgraded to the Pirelli Scorpion AT+ great tires on and off road. Nice and quiet 3 peak rated great in snow. On the 4Runner it came with General grabber AT+ good tires on road, quiet. Similar tread to Goodrich KO2. Not great in mud but good overall. Just upgraded to the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. So far these are my favorite of all. Quiet and great in rain...Look forward to getting them in the mud and see how well they do in snow. We are in the Chicago IL USA area and get a lot of Ice and snow. None of these tires are bad. I would not recommend the Trxus for on road, and the others were great on rocks and wore well. Have had 2 sets of Scorpions 70K miles each set and would rate them best for on road and overall performance. Think the Baja's might finally beat them...

Great video, thanks for making it. I live off grid on a farm that has a driveway that is currently 4wd access. I need to get some new tyres on my Triton ute and was looking at the Geloander G015, which I believe are an 80/20 road/off road split, but after watching your video, I'm not so sure. I used my driveway most days but do a fair bit of long distance highway driving once or twice a month. Are you able to suggest a tyre that might suit?

Ha never thought I’d be here watching something about tyres. Very useful info for our upcoming tour around oz

Nicely put together and thankyou for your effort in gathering and sharing the info. I do approx 90% on road and of is always on coarse and rocky terrain at slow speed. Very helpful.

Just put a set of Hankook Kinergy on my Jeep Cherokee. Nice quiet tire, happy with them so are.

Really helpful. Thanks. 👍
