Got wrangler duratrac 31s. They are kinda exciting to get into the Rockies, but the '00 XJ sport is also my daily driver. Any recommendations for me to go all around and save more gas on highway? I would assume all terrains? Love the rugged tires at slow speed, but such a killer in fuel. Gotta swap the tires.

 

Cooper 's AT3 are agreat all terrain tire. My buddy runs them on his WJ grand Cherokee and they clear out the mud pretty good are quite and still look almost new on tread depth after almost 2 years of driving and trail riding. They are a fairy light tire as well to help with gas mileage.

I would also recommend falken wild peaks, great all terrain also.

Avoid bfg all terrains, while not a bad tire they are heavy by design.

Do you have 15 or 16 inch rims?

Cooper Discoverer AT3
I run the P version of a 31"x 10.5". P tire will be lighter and offer a smoother ride.
Will also want to run alloy wheels.

 

I have great experience with MasterCraft Courser AT. Quiet on the pavement, excellent in the snow.

 

Also quit posting in the introductions If u want to start new threads to ask questions, please post in appropriate sub forums. Thanks!

 

My bad, ha.

 

AT3 replaced BFG AT. Ride is still good, even tho I consider these a heavier duty tire. Haven't taken them in the dirt yet, but others have with good luck.

 

I'm happy with general grabber at2's

 

Everyone has opinions on Ats, but I still want to make your decision even more difficult. Look at Yokohama Geolanders. I ran these on both my Subaru and the rig. Daily drove and wheeled with them pretty successfully. They were indeed lighter, quiter and better behaved than the Treadwright Mud Terrains I had before.






That being said, I'm running MTZs now and would never go back to an AT. Once you find a good mud terrain with good road manners and a ligher weight, you'll be okay.

 

I'm a huge tire geek and could write a staggeringly long and detailed post, but the bottom line is that there are very few bad AT's.

Off the top of my head...as long as you stay away from:

• Pirelli Scorpion ATR (good on non-winter streets, and that's about it)
• Falken Rocky Mountain/Wild Peak AT (turn into slicks within 10k miles due to extremely shallow grooves)
• Anything BFG AT can do General AT2 generally does as well or better and for less money. (many find this opinion controversial, but I stand by it)
• Anything Bridgestone's "regular" AT does, their AT Revo 2 does better.
• Ignore all of Goodyear except for Silent Armor, Adventure, Duratrac, and MTR w/ K.

 

I've got the Cooper AT3's on my stock 96. Smooth on the road, very quiet and decent off road for trail and beach.

 

I'm currently running the 33" Duratracs and I haven't found a better all terrain tire yet.

 

What steel rims are those?

 

Holy lack of front brake cooling Barman

 

Me too. I needed cheap 33s to replace my KM2s for winter conditions. Got these for less than 500 shipped and mounted. I don't think they would save you much gas money over the Duratracs. The price of a new set of tires would buy a good amount of gas though.
