Default Which 30" tires will work best for me??

I'm looking at moving down to a 30x9.50 for gas mileage, price, ect. I do 99% on road driving but I like to know that it is capable at the same time. In the winter I like to play alot in the snow.. I have narrowed it down to these..

Toyo Open Country A/T:

Falken Rocky Mountain ATS:


Hankook ATM RF10


Or any other set of tires under 600 shipped+6.75% ohio tax. I can get them mounted and balanced for free..

I'm riding about 300 miles on my pro comp AT and am very happy with them. Very quiet on the highway too compared to other AT tires I have had. I am running the same size u r looking to get.

Just looking to get some different opinions on the tires. The other tread patterns look more sophisticated than procomps, but they are running a pretty good deal right now on 4wp.

All three tires you chose are good choices for what you're going to use them for. The falkens look like they would do best in the snow to me though.

Yeah, I'd go with the Falkens but maybe try the Wild Peaks. Also check out BFG AT's, as they are quite possibly the best all around AT out there.

I have the Mastercraft AT2s and they seem to work great in everything but deep sticky mud. They're made by Cooper.
