best all terrains are BFGoodrich, some people complain about them but most people love them.

i just put this in another thread but i will add it here as well.

The Mickey T 4rib is a good A/T also and won the tyre comparo in the 4x4 ACTION mag for the sand section of the test.
I ran them on my last D40 for 90'000km and my brother in-law is still using them with 100'000km now on them, that includes allot of OFF Road use in all types of conditions, sand dunes, mud, rocky ground, ect I personally rate them!
mate they are an awesome tyre, and they are a more aggressive A/T but yet still give good grip on wet tar roads.
I have used BF's as well and they are a very good and reliable tyre also and you cant really go wrong with them they are tried and tested and have been around for many many years (they have had a few face lifts here and there)

I agree, I have used both BFG AT's and the MT 4 Rib AT and I will be getting the Mickey T again. Awesome tyre.

Theres a reason they are a lower price, they are pretty much a HT tyre not an AT, their mud tyres looks ok though, BFG and Mickey Thompson though you know they will just go anywhere within reason and I know someone personally who took a set of BFG's to cape twice and they went on to do 120000km on the set.

and for the record BFG's cost about $345 a corner in AT 265/75r16 and the geolander is about $270 from memory.

I think last year 4wd action did a test on the top 5 or 10 AT tyres. Including bf's,mickey, yokohama, coopers etc put them through everything mud, sand , wet roads etc. pretty well flogged them. Yokohama came in at 3 rd and actually did the big names in the mud and sand except for mickey t's and some other brand I have never heard of in my life. Overall I think they came in at 3 rd best tyre. Personal preference I guess but I have been using them for 6 years now and they have never let me down get roughly 70000 to 80000 out of mine, so for $220 a tyre from bob Jane think ill stick with them.
