Kumho Ecsta STX 305/40/22. I like them no complaints. Fell in love with Kumho when I had them on my Monte.

Ive run aYok Geolander ATS's on a awd 5.0 explorer i had..awesome tire great ride and great in snow and sand..never took it mudding..had a lifted bronco for that. Ex-Father inlaw ran geolander MT's on his f150 he used for hunting. IN his words...if that tire didnt take him any place he needed to hunt from...he had no business being there lol.
Ran hankook ventus on my lightning...good tire..quick for the 22's they were but not as sticky as the toyo proxes' the replaced. Ran swaper radials on my lifted cherokee...never had a problem with them and with the 33x10.50 size they dug easily through even 3ft of snow.
Im not a michelin fan...they just arent agressive enough for me. But i run Hankook dynapro ATM RF10's. The tread if fairly aggressive so its not the exactly smoothest riding tire...but they do awesome in snow,moderate mud,rain and dry traction. Ive got about 15-20k miles on them and they barely show any wear...but i do rotate every 8k miles.

Goodyear Wrangler LS-2 275/55/20 were absolute garbage.

I quickly switched to pro comp all terrain (cooper) 275/55/20 and the noise/ride/handling improved immensely, they're excellent tires in the snow and have fantastic siping.

After dropping my truck a bit more a shorter tire was necessary so I installed a set of nitto 420s 265/50/20 and love them. They're a great tire in the dry, not too loud and easy to predict. The wet traction is fantastic and their ability in the snow was surprisingly good given the tread design.

I recently scooped a new set of wheels so I mounted up some nitto 420s in a 285/40/22 and absolutely love them. Nitto makes a great tire, they balance well and ride smooth.

I ran The pro-comp At's on a mazda b4000 4x4 when they first came..was a pretty decent tire and had really good tread on them at 28k miles when i traded the truck in. Ive run Nitto car tires but never the truck tires.

Just an update....I had Firestone Destination A/T's (265/75 R16) installed over 30,000 miles ago and they still have over 75% tread left....and I have never needed a re-balance, just a rotation every 8K.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

2002 Yuk, came with Firestone Wilderness and they had no grip, dry or wet. Got into accident because of those on DRY pavement...got rid of them with less then 5000 miles on them. Since then, have use Michelin LTX's for about 55k - 60k miles each set, now on 3rd set. The LTX 2's now have a quieter ride then the older ones but traction for all weather conditions has always been good. Only truck tire I could find with 'A' temp rating (within my price range). Everything else I looked at had 'B' rating for temp...i thought this was important living in the desert Southwest. Had Bridgestone Dueler HL on another SUV and they had decent traction but a bit noisier. Oh, stock size 265/70/16 IIRC

On my Jeep--31x10.5x15 Cooper STT, DO NOT buy these tires have 15k miles on them and they have about 1/8" of tread left. Cooper says they have a 50k mile warranty, don't believe that. Also have a friend that put them on a 2500 Dodge and they didn't see 8k miles and they were showing cords.

My my old Tahoe--265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer ATR, loved those tires. Not very aggressive but they did their job well. And their snow traction was amazing. I put 35k miles on them and then sold them to a coworker and they were better than half tread when he took possession.

My Camaro--315/35/17 Nitto NT555 at all 4 corners, look great but I haven't driven on them yet :(

My Dakota--31x10.5x15 General Grabber AT3, so far I have about 250 miles on them and they work awesome in the snow, their quiet on the dry roads, but the sidewalls are a little soft for my liking. Dry pavement cornering feels a little "loose" but the tires are a little taller than the old ones were.

My Dad's 1500 Dodge--35x12.5x16 Nitto Terra Grapplers, great tires for the snow and work great for going in the woods for hunting and wood cutting. He has about 35k miles and they have about 1/4" of tread left. Also good tire for towing, we do quite a bit with his truck and the tires work great no matter what we are doing.

I have been rocking my hankook dynapro rtm af10's since dec of 2010 and they are going strong. I see no reason i shouldnt get 70k out of these tires. Awesome in the snow,mud,gravel,rain and dry. Fairly quiet for the tread pattern...a buddy of mine jus put the exact same size..265/75/16 on his H3 and cannot believe how good they are.

I ran Goodyear Forteras on mine since I got it (over 100k). Last fall with intentions of selling soon I opted for something less expensive, and bought Yokohama Geolanders for 1/2 the money. Well, plans changed including a 16k trip last summer, now have 30k on them and I am very impressed!

I bought my truck with Kumho p-metric 4 ply tires and they sucked 28K miles and they were gone! So that is when I picked up a set of 285/75 17's 8 ply BF Goodrich KM2 so the truck cannot reach the max of the tires. They now have 20k on them and they wear like iron and are surprisingly quiet for mud tires. I can tell you that I have sold at least 5 sets for my local shop with friends who have gone in to by the same thing. Plus for an extra $20 a tire why not step up to full muds from an A/T. I did have to stick 1" keys in to make them fit. The next set will be after ebay keys and spacers and I will be buying 33" KM2's never going to own another brand of tire.
