Falken Wildpeak AT3W
Falken Wildpeak AT3W is a popular tire in its segment since it has been released. Due to its wide product range and relatively affordable price, it’s suitable for any SUV or light truck and of course budget.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W provides outstanding traction on wet and dry ground. Thanks to severe snow-rated rubber, its winter performance isn’t less than wet or dry performance. Furthermore, unlike most all-terrain tires, Falken Wildpeak AT3W offers decent handling and quick steering response. Besides that, its mild off-road capability is enormous. Though worth reminding, its mud and rock performance are relatively worse than other tires in this list. A slight increase in Noise level and MPG are other cons of this tire.

Toyo Open Country AT3
Toyo Open Country AT3 is Toyo’s new generation all-terrain tire. Unlike its younger brother Open Country AT2, this tire can handle severe and mild off-road conditions very well. Moreover, it has pretty on-road manners that can easily compete with Toyo Open Country AT2. I’m in love with its design. Yet, nothing is perfect.
Toyo Open Country AT3 can be the best fit for you if you’re eager to sacrifice a bit from your comfort. Its wet, dry, and winter performances are phenomenal. Furthermore, it set it out full regarding off-road capability. In return, depending on the size it provides a bit bumpy ride. Well, I trade this minor decrease in comfort for the other alpha-plus features of Toyo Open Country AT3. Due to its wide product and application range, this tire can be used on SUVs, CUVs even on the 1-ton or above trucks. Even better, it provides long-lasting tread life for every size.

- Toyo Open Country AT3 is an aggressive tire. If you’re not an overlander, I recommend P-metric sizes. XL sizes for SUVs and SL sizes for CUVs will be fine. These size selections will provide a cozier, less vocal, and quicker steering response. While lower tread depth of p-metric sizes provides better handling, a fluffier compound will improve your comfort level).
- Even though Toyo AT3 is a lightweight tire, due to its aggressive pattern, it might cause a slight increase in fuel consumption
- The tire is produced in US and Japan, you can check the below list for production locations depending on size.

General Grabber A/TX
General Grabber A/TX is an all-terrain tire that is specially designed for full-size SUVs, and work vans, and especially for pickup truck owners. It seems to me that Grabber A/TX is a lottery pick if you’re a 3/4 ton of above truck or huge SUV owner who is looking for decent tread life. However, its highly-strengthed steel belts are specially designed for heavy vehicles. Hence, if you have a relatively lightweight vehicle (CUV or small SUV), you should get on with slight noise and a bit harsh ride.
General Grabber A/TX is a superior tire on this list if off-road performance is your priority. Even so, its mud performance is almost as impeccable as a mud-terrain tire. Sand, rock, or dirt, this tire can chew them all. Its traction capability is elegant. Moreover, it also offers extremely reliable winter performance. Due to its BFG KO2-like pattern, it offers huge handling no matter how heavy your vehicle is. What I like most about this tire is, that besides funkiness on and off-road manners, it also lasts like there is no tomorrow.

BF Goodrich KO2
BF Goodrich KO2 is the first all-terrain tire. So actually all off-road tires were inspired by it. Due to its wide product range and positive customer comments, it’s one of the most popular all-terrain tires in the market. Well, people like me are debating a lot about its price performance balance. The performance is very good, I can’t say anything negative about it. At these prices though, the only reason I’m adding BFG KO2 to this list is out of respect.
BF Goodrich KO2 is one of the best tires for off-road. Especially if you’re doing rock crawling very often. Well, this is a perfect tire for adventurers. However, its tread life and comfort level are relatively worse than other tires on this list. On the other hand, I’m totally in love with its handling capability. Snow, wet or dry, BF Goodrich KO2 provides trustworthy handling and traction.

Sumitomo Encounter AT
Sumitomo is a Japanese tire manufacturer that has been on the market for over 100 years. Encounter AT is their first all-terrain tire. Well, it has a limited product range with an affordable price level. So, the tire isn’t all-around like others on this list. However, it offers a performance that is well above the average in all aspects, but not perfect.
Sumitomo Encounter AT is a great all-terrain tire for those who would like to combine satisfying on-road manners with a decent off-road performance. Well, the off-road performance is limited to mild ones (gravel, dirt, grass). However, its comfort and noise level are exceptional (learn how to make your tires last longer). Even so, it’s one of the best on this list. It’s not the best tire regarding tread life. Yet, it offers alpha-plus dry, wet, and winter traction.

Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus
Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus is a good-looking all-terrain tire that can be used on light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. Since it’s a well-balanced tire, 88% of its users recommend and wanna use this tire again. This isn’t a surprise to me because Scorpion All-Terrain Plus’s size range is narrowed. Hence, the manufacturer is making better optimization by size and being better able to meet the needs of all sizes. Does it have cons? For sure. Let’s move on with its capability.
Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus provides one of the best handlings in the market because of its condensed center section. Even though its center section is condensed, its shoulder blocks are divided into many parts. Well, when you combine this with a stiff compound that offers highly acceptable tread life, it might be a little loud for crossover and SUV users. Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus provides alpha-plus traction on wet and dry surfaces. Moreover, this tire is marked with 3PMSF. Therefore, its winter performance is highly acceptable. However, its tread depth is slightly lower than other all-terrain tires on the market. Hence, its loose ground performance (mud, deep snow, etc.) is slightly behind other tires on the market.

- Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus has a relatively stiffer compound than other tires on the market. Therefore, its rolling resistance is lower. So, it’s not gonna hurt your gas mileage
- Pirelli uses ELECT technology on Scorpion All-Terrain Plus. Therefore, the tire is very suitable for electric vehicle usage (275/65R20)
- LT sizes can be a bit firm and noisy for SUV and CUV drivers
- If you have a 3/4 ton or 1-ton light truck, These tires aren’t suitable for you (perform well but don’t last long)
- Tires have a low heat resistance rating, I don’t recommend using them as work truck tires
- All sizes are marked with 3PMSF

Continental TerrainContact A/T
Continental TerrainContact A/T is an all-terrain tire that is mostly focused on satisfying on-road manners and mild off-road. As you can see, the tire has a more straight pattern, especially straight shoulders. This feature limits its severe off-road capability. Still, if noise and cozy ride are your priorities, Continental Terraincontact is the best you can get. At least for light-truck users.
Continental Terraincontact A/T is a mild all-terrain tire. Even though it’s not an expert on mild off-road, its dry and wet traction capabilities are phenomenal. Moreover, it lasts for a very long time. In return, it’s like a regular all-season tire, it can only handle light snow. Not a trustworthy pick for severe winter conditions. In my point of view, smooth ride is what makes this tire special. Continental Terraincontact A/T can give you good looking and cozy ride at the same time.

Firestone Destination X/T
Firestone Destination X/T is an all-terrain tire that is specially developed for 3/4 ton or 1-ton light trucks, body-on-frame SUVs, and Jeeps. So, the tire is highly durable and tough. Though worth reminding, Firestone Destination X/T is the lightest LT tire in the market. So, if you don’t want to sacrifice from off-road adventure and also wanna save some fuel, you’re at the right place!
Firestone Destination X/T is an extra-strong and responsive all-terrain tire that can also provide a smooth and quiet ride. It can perfectly handle wet and dry surfaces. Well, its hydroplaning resistance is relatively lower due to its aggressive pattern. Yet, it’s still reliable. You may hear some about its poor winter performance. However, this isn’t true. I can accept that its ice performance is poor. However, its light-snow and deep-snow performances are acceptable. Guys, the tire is marked with 3PMSF. Last but not least, Firestone Destination X/T last as long as your all-season tire.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT
Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT is another all-terrain tire that is extremely suitable for heavy vehicles. What sets this tire apart from Firestone Destination X/T is it can be used on work trucks. I put these tires somewhere between the all-terrain tires and highway tires. This tire is an expert on mild off-road. However, its loose ground performance is limited.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT is a work-oriented all-terrain tire. It lasts long and provides trustworthy handling on loaded use. Due to its compact pattern, it also provides unique traction as well as offers quick steering response and cornering stability. Furthermore, it provides decent traction on wet and dry grounds. However, its winter performance is limited. I don’t recommend it for severe winter conditions.

Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail
Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail is the first all-terrain tire in this list that is specified for SUVs and CUVs. So, it’s not available on LT sizes. However, if you’re SUV or CUV owner who loves to play in nature, this dude will give you everything without sacrificing any feature of the all-season tire.
Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail is the most complete tire in the market. It lasts like an all-season tire, is responsive like a summer tire, and provides all-terrain traction. Moreover, it’s beast on snow. The loose ground performance what is surprised me despite such good features. No matter mud, deep snow, or gravel, the tire provides unique traction. Well, you can have it all.. in return for a slight vocal ride. No worries, I’m talking about something like winter tires. Nothing more.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S is an all-terrain tire that is specially built for satisfying daily driving. Even though Cooper claim that tire can be used on light trucks also, LT sizes aren’t available. Hence, I recommend these tires only for 1/2 ton ( Ford F-150, Silverado 1500, etc.) pickups among the light trucks. On the other hand, it’s a really good option for SUV and CUV owners who wants to add some off-road capability.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S is an all-terrain tire that can handle mild off-road very well. Unlike most all-terrain tires, this tire can handle wet ground with ease and provide decent hydroplaning resistance. Hence, it’s a trustworthy tire if you like driving fast in the pouring rain. Furthermore, its winter performance is highly acceptable. In fact, it’s one of the best ice tires in its segment due to its compact pattern. Compared to Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail, Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S offers a smoother and less vocal ride. Moreover, Discoverer AT3 4S is a lighter tire. Hence, it’s more suitable for hauling and towing and offers better MPG.

Firestone Destination A/T2
Firestone Destination A/T2 is a perfect fit if you drive mostly highway and weekend off-road. This tire is only available in p-metric sizes. Hence, its product range is limited with 1/2 ton pickups. I like to call this tire a Kind of Mild Condition. Mild off-road and mild winter is its expertise. When you combine these features with extremely satisfying on-road manners and long-lasting rubber, it’s not hard to call it one of the best all-terrain tires for daily driving.
Firestone Destination A/T2 is a mild all-terrain tire that provides exceedingly good handling on the highway. The tire supports its unique handling capability with a long-lasting rubber and huge traction on wet, dry, and snowy surfaces. Though worth reminding, if you’d like to use these tires on 3/4 ton or 1-ton pickups, you should sacrifice these great features. So, I don’t recommend it. Compared to its competitors, Firestone Destination AT2 is quiet and provides a smooth ride.

What are the Best All-Terrain Tires?
Actually, there is no clear answer to this question. The answer depends on your needs.
The all-terrain tires are versatile. That’s why they are also called on/off-road tires.
So, instead of giving the names out here, I’ll try to explain how you should decide on your tire depending on your needs.
Best All-Terrain Tires for Daily Driving
All-terrain tires can be used on CUVs, SUVs, or light trucks. If daily driving is our priority, size selection is crucial.
In this case, the tire weight and internal structure are the huge game-changers.
SUV and CUV,
P-metric tires are the best for you. P-metric tires are broken down into two 2 different categories. XL and SL sizes. While XL sizes offer better handling but a bit stiffer ride, SL sizes provide a cozier ride but inferior durability. In this case, XL tire size might be a must for you depending on your vehicle size.
- If you want an aggressive appearance, XL or SL sizes are best for you
- Towing and hauling are the expertise of XL tire size
- If you want a quiet ride, try to avoid extensive void areas. A more blocky pattern means more noise
Here are a couple of suggestions,
Light Trucks,
Depending on the size of your light truck, you might need a different sizes of tires for cozy daily driving.
- For 1/2 ton trucks –> Load Range C
- For 3/4 ton trucks –> Load range D or E
- For 1 ton and above trucks –> Load range E or F
The above load ranges are my suggestions, however, if you’d like to buy the smoothest tire for your truck, I recommend checking the load index of your tire and then selecting to lowest load range that you can get. Though worth reminding, don’t down-grade the above load ranges for better cornering stability.
Best All-Terrain Tires for Snow
All-terrain tires sometimes struggle on the snow. Well, this is expected because these tires have a stiff compound for solid winter driving.
However, their extremely notched pattern and a zillion biting edges (edges of lugs) can handle the winter conditions.
Just like me, manufacturers are aware of this need in the market. Hence, lately, they made tires with a 3PMSF label.
3PMSF label is proof of severe winter performance on medium-packed snow. This title is given by the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) and the Rubber Association of Canada (RAC). Though worth reminding, 3PMSF tires generally have 15% less tread life.
- 3PMSF marking is a must
- Narrower tires provide better winter traction
- The best all-terrain tire on the ice is average, I don’t recommend using them on the ice

Conclusion
While preparing this list, I tried to divide it into as many layers as possible. In my opinion, it is much more effective to choose one of 2-3 tires from a list prepared according to your vehicle and needs, instead of waiting for you to choose from my 30 tire recommendations.
If you don’t have all day, you can use the below table for a quick summary.
All-Terrain Tires Cheat Sheet
Take-Home Points,
- LT sizes have stronger sidewalls. That feature makes them more durable. Yet, these tires offer a rougher ride. (LT vs P-Metric tires)
- XL sizes tend to carry more load and offer better handling. Hence, if you’ll go with p-metric sizes, they might be a better pick for hauling and towing( XL vs SL tires)
- Please pay attention to the load range and speed index. These metrics are essential if you expect decent tread life
- There isn’t a bad tire in the market right now, you should just know what to expect from tires
