Help me pick tires
Next on my to do list for the old ex.. new tires. I can't pick. To many choices. My EX. Is my 3rd car. So it does not get driven every day. So I don't need high milage tires. I tow my camper with it. Primary purpose. I use it to go hunting, so a little off road. Feilds and such. But it's 4x4. Drive it on the weekends and when needed. It has the Mich. LTX on them. They have some tread left. But there dated from 2012. And I think all the sitting has caused them to wear a little funny. I think there causing some vibration when I get over 70mph.
So would you go all seasson or all terrain?
DiscountT has that Wrangler UT AT. I was told it's a new tire. So not a lot of reviews. Have not been impressed with any of my previous Goodyear tires on anything.
I am starting to lean towards to Bridgestone REVO 3. Had the REVOs on my Silverado long time ago. Held up well.
Not oppose to American made coppers. But seems lots of people don't like them. Have a set on the wife's car and happy so far.
I don't need top of the line. Just want durability.
Input?

I've always had solid results with Nittos. Your use is the same as mine and G2s have served well. Towed 10.5k weight trailer with them, get the job done in dirt and snow. Not loud or harsh. Look good too.

I think I'm going to try a set of Nexen Rodian AT tires next time. They're reasonably priced and the 35" are 12 ply. My wife's Kia came with a set of Nexen tires that went 90k before needing replacement.

Once you have some miles under your Rodian's be sure and update our tire review threads for the next guy.

I have toyo open country’s now (35”) and regret getting them. They were great the first 10,000 miles, now will not stay balanced, are very loud with poor performance in the winter. I had the revo 2 in stock sized tire and loved them, at the time 35 x 20 size was not offered. If I could do it over again would get BFG AT. Unless the revo 3’s offered my tire size then would would have to decide between the 2.
Also, if your staying stock size ish, the Michilen AT’s are a very good tire for a street queen and perform well in winter conditions.
