On your vehicles that is. These are mine:


1999 Dodge Caravan SE: Bald cheap tires..can't remember what they are off the top of my head
2009 Ford Focus SE: Another set of cheaps
2003 Ford Focus XLT: Just put new Firestones on it this week. Would like Coopers though but out of the price range at the moment.
1985 Ford F-250 4x4: I have 3 different sets of tires. I haven't bought mud tires for it in years though. Right now, the snow tires are Cooper Discoverer A/T's and Discoverer ATR's. A/T's up front and ATR's in back. The summer tires are Discoverer Radial LT's. All 3 are discontinued which makes me mad as they are awesome tires for the most part; I'm not too keen on ATR's as I prefer the A/T's but oh well. The winters are a bump up over stock at 235X85R16's and the summers are 33X12.5R16.5's. Here's the tread patterns:

ATR's:

I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT and use Toyo Open Country AT2 tires.
I had the HT before, but these AT tires have a bit more agressive tread and am hoping
they are better in the winter. I found out they are better in the muck.

Nitto 420's. Scored a set of feathered take offs for my tundra. We don't get much snow down here, so a HP tire is good year round. Came with Mich LTX, but can't drop $280 per tire right now.

2008 Tundra X-SP with 2/4 drop kit installed.

Had some BFG G force t/a kdw2's on the cavalier at first, then switched to some hankooks. The bfg's were expensive so I passed that up

Just some firestones on my truck, it's due for tires soon.

2003 Jeep Liberty, Kumho Road Venture AT KL78 in 225 75 R16. I would have gone wider but 225 is the widest i can do without having to do some mods for turning radius.

I tried the Destination AT's, the most popular tire it seems for these smaller SUV and Truck tires, but they SUCKED. In the winter they filled with snow and turned into a snowball, in the mud they fill up and and don't self clean with spinning, they just gum up.

The Kumho Venture's have a good tread, but not too aggressive to make extra road noise, they clean out nice going through mud and snow. Can't count how many guys i have pulled out that got stuck with other brands. I get around 2 years a set for wear, and around $400 a set give or take depending on sales at tirerack.com, so they are good affordable tires!

Just put a new set on Monday, was just getting to the point that i could do burnouts with the old ones! LOL
