New Tires on my 2000
Just got a set of 265/75/16 OHTSU All Terrain AT-4000 tires to replace my worn out Goodyear Wrangler TD of the same size. So far they have significant improvement on gravel traction. Loose dirt is maybe a little better and moist grass traction has improved. Road noise has maybe decreased a little and vibration has reduced significantly. I only have maybe 20 miles on them, but I will update when I have more miles and terrain on them. Here are some pics on the truck.

I have maybe another 100 miles, but it rained yesterday. These tires stick like glue to the wet roads. It takes a very high amount of throttle to get them to spin on takeoff and even then they regain traction quickly. I went around a turn at a speed that would have spun me 180 on my old tires and I clung to the road without any sliding at all. It surprised me how well they stuck. Hopefully they like snow and Ice just as well.
Also, the don't feel soft or bouncy or balloony or anything like that even though they are C rated. They feel the same as my broken in E rated did that were on it before. I assume that they will get a little softer as they get more miles on them, but I can't assume that yet.

Finally have got some snow! I have about 4000 miles on these now. They are holding up phenomenally. These have as good traction on snow and ice as any tire I have ever driven on. I highly recommend for winter, wet, mud, anything traction. I haven't had any experience on rocks with them simply because there aren't rocks around. Even though you probably haven't heard of these, if you want a cheaper AT option, I HIGHLY recommend. They are only load range c, but have handled everything I have put them through. I can't even count how many times they have been dealt a hand of curb rash. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I never got stuck in the recent 6 inches of snow, even in 2 wheel drive with my open differential.
