Picks come from counted owner reports and manufacturer data. We may earn a commission from links on this page; it never changes the ranking. Read our policy.
These picks come from our all-terrain tire comparison: 356 owner reports on 12 current tires, from owner forums and Tire Rack customer reviews, with every warranty, snow rating and size checked on the maker’s own site. Reviews on tire makers’ own websites aren’t counted. See how we research.
1 · Best overall for 33- to 37-inch tires
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3
Who it’s for Wrangler, Gladiator, Bronco and Tacoma owners who want a quiet A/T with a severe-snow rating, in sizes up to 37 inches.
Who should skip it Owners who want proven high mileage: the KO3 is new, and no owner in our sample has worn out a set. Look at the General Grabber A/TX instead.
Wear drew 7 positive reports and none negative. One Tacoma owner reached the wear bars at 77,000 mi; several others report 40,000–58,000.
4 report good snow grip and none report poor grip.
One owner lost a set to a sidewall puncture from construction debris.

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W
Who it’s for Daily drivers in rainy climates who want a quiet A/T with a severe-snow rating and a long warranty.
Who should skip it Owners on 37s, or anyone wanting proven long wear: Falken’s pages we could read don’t list flotation sizes, and the highest mileage reported is 30,000. Choose the BFGoodrich KO3 or General Grabber A/TX.
Wet grip drew 8 positive reports and none negative; snow drew 6 positive and none negative.
15 owners call it quiet and 2 call it loud.
Two owners on C- and E-load sizes call the ride rough. One found a 5-inch split across the tread at 5,000 miles.

4 · Best for snow
Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T
Who it’s for Owners in snowy states running sizes up to 12.50 inches wide, including 33x12.50 and 37x12.50.
Who should skip it Owners who want predictable wear: reports range from a quarter of the tread left at 64,000 mi to a set worn out at 29,000. The General Grabber A/TX has the steadiest wear reports.
Snow drew 13 positive reports and none negative; wet drew 8 positive and none negative.
14 praise it off-road; 4 of 30 call it loud.
Most of these reviewers chose the tire themselves, and most reviews are from the last year, so they lean positive and early.

5 · Best for 3/4- and 1-ton trucks
Michelin LTX A/T2
Who it’s for Super Duty, Ram HD and Silverado HD owners on stock-size LT tires who want a quiet ride and long life.
Who should skip it Anyone who needs a severe-snow rating, a 285/70R17 or a flotation size: Michelin offers none of them. The Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme carries a severe-snow rating on every listed size.
No owner in our sample calls it loud, and 9 praise the ride.
Wear drew 9 positive reports and 3 negative. Two owners report earlier sets lasting 62,000 and 70,000 mi.
One F-350 dually owner reports a highway blowout at 45,000 mi on factory-fitted tires.

What matters when you choose
Severe-snow rating: the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol means the tire met an industry snow-traction standard. Some makers rate only certain sizes, so check the sidewall for yours.
Size and load range: LT and flotation sizes (like 35x12.50R17) are built for heavier loads and lower trail pressures. Passenger sizes are lighter and often quieter.
Warranty: treadwear warranties often differ between passenger and LT sizes of the same tire.
M+S is a tread-design definition. The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) calls for slots reaching at least 1/2 inch into the tread from its edge and at least 25% open area, measured on the mold. It isn’t based on a snow traction test.
The mountain snowflake (3PMSF) means the tire passed a snow traction test on packed snow (ASTM F1805), scoring at least 1.10 times the grip of a standard reference tire (1.12 against the newer reference tire). It sits next to the M+S marking.
Drawn from USTMA’s description: three peaks with the middle one tallest, and a six-sided snowflake inside. Each maker’s artwork differs slightly.
Load range letters stand for ply ratings: C is 6-ply, D is 8-ply, E is 10-ply and F is 12-ply. These are strength ratings; the tire doesn’t have that many actual plies.
Maximum pressure depends on the size, not just the letter. Many sizes run C to 50 psi, D to 65 and E to 80, but some wider sizes are rated lower for the same letter.
The sidewall maximum isn’t your driving pressure. Use the placard on your door jamb, or our airing-down guide on the trail.
Both examples are the Yokohama Geolandar A/T4: maximum load at maximum cold pressure, from Yokohama’s spec table.

No longer in Cooper’s own list of all-terrain tires, and only passenger sizes remain
In our sample, the General Grabber A/TX has the strongest wear reports: 7 positive, none negative, and one set at the wear bars at 77,000 mi. Mileage depends on load, rotation and driving, so treat single reports as examples, not promises.
Do I need a severe-snow (3PMSF) tire?
If you drive in regular snow, it’s worth having. Four of our six picks state it for at least some sizes. The Michelin LTX A/T2 doesn’t carry it, and Firestone doesn’t state it for the Destination A/T2.
