I want to keep my eye on the more aggressive side of the A/T tire market over the next few years as I want to go that route when my Cooper Discoverer A/T3's wear out. They are P265/70r17 and I will be going with LT285/70r17 on my 2011 F150 with bilstein 5100's.
So far I really have two top picks.
1- Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx. Looks about right, good reviews and I'm very happy with my current Coopers. A little worried about highway manners and winter driving.
2- BFG A/T KO2. Had the originals in 285/75r16 on an F250 and they were great. If these surpass the origial ATKO's then its a winner. Cons are high price and possibly a major hit to fuel economy and ride quality.
Open to other suggestions. The goal is more aggressive than the A/T3's I have now, especially for severe winter traction but also wet offroad. I don't plan on running mud holes or anything, and need decent highway manners but the AT3's are just a little too civilized. Not gripes, they are perfect for me... I just want something "funner."
