You should really put the info you go over in the description
Just took my F350 diesel with the Toyo AT3. Aired down to 16 psi desert off roading. Ran great. No problem with traction in the heavy 1 ton. Awesome on the highway, too.
Nittos on my Jeep. BFGs on my Chevy 2500 work truck. Both brands do a nice job on road and off. Road noise minimal. Love the informative videos. Keep up the good work!
AT3W👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. On my 3rd set, very durable and they can be relied on in all conditions.
I hope they don’t have issues with stone drilling. I’ve replaced 3 tires because of stones punching holes in my At 2 just about turned me back to MT’s
Mickey mtzp3 works really well on and off road . Not as,well as claws off road but better grip on road .
Also amazing in snow.
Great video! Maybe add a table or chart at the end doing a side by side comparison of all five.
BFG makes a Rugged Terrain and I ran a set on a 1994 Ford Ranger, they never left me stuck in mud or snow, and they were really good as far as road noise
The open country are aight. I like my wildpeaks better than I did the open country. My ko2s are super bumpy and loud. Still dig the wildpeaks better than I do ko2s. Next on my list are those Kendas. Saw them on an off-roader and fell In love with the look. They look mean and they are awesome on mtbs so they can’t be that bad for cars.
Love the nitto grapplers
Thanks Brother...Great review and info!!! 👊👍🇺🇸
Currently running the AT3's on my 3rd gen Cummins and love them! No tread squirm, good traction, quiet and so far, they're wearing very well. I drive my truck hard and live where the roads are VERY twisty. I hit most corners 30MPH over the posted recommended speed and they grip excellent. Highly recommended for heavy pickups
I just bought those for my Suburban. Hope they do good in snow and ice. I have the BFG ko on my old Jeep. They were $400 more than the AT3.
I've never been disappointed with the Cooper discoverers STT pros. I really don't mind the road noise.
I found the tread wear isn’t as good as nittos? What do you think?
Absolutely love Nito Ridge grappler got them in a 305x55x20 currently
I run KOs on my gladiator, love them!
Great video ya may need to put these 5 tires in your your description with some links
Got 84k out of my 1 set of KO2s. Still had sufficient tread for wet weather. At 50k it is still a very serviceable offroad tire. That's the biggest advantage - as good on and off road as all the others but truly superior tread wear. Mine have seen use from south Florida sugar sand and swamp to Georgia clay/mud to Virginia snow and gravel. Superb tire.
Barely got 20k outta mine. Rotated every oil change. Got my money back. Worst tire ever owned. In the mud they sucked ass.
I’ve heard good and bad about the ko2 I just ordered 4 of them for my ram 1500 I’ve been wanting to try this out in severe snow and wet conditions. So we will see how it goes I ran wild peaks and got decent life out of them. And I know these are better. Most people won’t get proper alignments done too. Proper alignments and rotating extends life
How do the Mickey Thompsons compared in the price to the other tires in this review for a set?
I have toyo open country AT and they’re durable
Toyo at3 hands down !! I'll only buy toyo from now onwards, I've had them and the last truck I bought came with some aftermarket rim and ko2,s on them and had them switched out to toyo by the end of the week.
Drive 190 kms today and it was -40c and they are like claws
The ko2,s had about 20k kms on them and they were pretty beat up.
My last set of toyo went 80k then I sold my truck but I'd say still at 75%-80% treed left, would of kept them for atleast two more years. So in total of 4.5 years on a set of tires that's not bad
I've run Duratracs, KO2's and now on Falken Wildpeak AT3's, I like the Wildpeaks.
I have had wildpeaks for over a year now. 30000ks mostly highway and they look brand new
Where do you live? What percentage road to off-road would you guess you drive? Thanks!
I am currently running wildpeak at3s also. Impressed so far
I also run the wildpeak at3s. I run a 37-12.5/20 on a 2015 Superduty. I really like them. Very smooth and not much noise.
How is the ride on the Wildpeak AT3s? Is there much sway on the highway at 65 mph? I'm interested in 265/75r16s
I really like the general grabber at tires had two sets on a gen one Durango and loved them
I like the General Grabber's just fine
Love my mud terrain on My cherokee sport
Luv my Kenda Kleaver RT 10 ply tires 💪
It may not be the best offroad..but the toughest tire that won't leave you stranded is the bfg..I've run every all terrain tire there is from every major company when I was hotshotting in the oilfield/then working for a oilfield pipeline company. They all blew out prematurely.. except the bfg..I could run it till the tread was gone..
Good to know. I just ordered some 315 ko2s. Cant wait to see em on my tundra
I'm running Toyo AT3s on my 13 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit 5.7. They are unbelievably quiet. The AT2s had a slight hum that you had to turn the A/C off and listen for it. The AT3s have pretty much eliminated it.
Very happy with Venom terra hunter xt are awesome for the money,no complaints 👍👏
Im a Ridge grappler fan but tried these Yokohama X-AT.. Prefer them for wear, noise, balanced way better and lasted longer...great in snow...Im staying with these.
you are the quiet
yok
I now have 30,000 miles on them starting to make a little noise but still great in the snow and really good pulling my heavy trailers into the muddy job sites. I have slowed down and am traveling more on the hwy so I have decided to try an AT tire vs a Hybrid. I went with Falkin Wildpeaks and will sell these 37x12.5x20 X-AT's. I will let everyone know the results.
Cant wait to see a video on new Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek
.. ;-)
I recommend you take a look at the Mickey Thompson ATZ P3. I’ve have used three of the tires on this list, and the Mickey Thompson’s are so much better, IMO.
They seem to age better. Its between them and the Yoko ATX
I've just surpassed 85k on my ATZ P3's. Finally had one fail. Still had decent tread. Heard a slapping sound coming from a driver front wheel on my drive home from work. Pulled over and the tire was half inflated. Looked underneath and saw a section of steel cable coming out at the bead between the rim and the sidewall. Too many miles on the tires to just replace one. It's a shame MT has discontinued that model. Currently evaluating alternatives.
BFG KM3 siped for mud, snow, sand and snow/ice for 35 x 12.5 size is the best I’ve run ever on road and for serious off roading. Put a hole through tread of Kendra RT and my set of toyo at3 wore out at 24,000 miles.
Were the Toyo's not replaced under warranty?
@@davidhaywood9794 no. They were on a Chevy 2500 diesel that I towed with so they got abused . I didn’t even try
@@drjhunter I have the at2 extremes on a Ram 2500 and I'm at 30k and they will be done before 35k. It's sad that they have went backwards in tread life when they didn't have much to begin with.
Runnin Patagonia’s Milestar 37 MT for about 10k miles and they are awesome just look thinner than the others brand since is dome tire
I'm disappointed in the Nitto Ridge Grappler for tread life, snow, ice, slush, wet. At 20k miles right now mine are more than 2/3 worn out and I'm not impressed with winter performance. Mine will be worn out before 30k miles on a RAM 2500. I won't be buying them again. They have been great for towing my toy hauler and I like how they don't throw stones into my body when off-road very often.
I ran the kanatis a few years ago replacing a set of duratracs. Were noisier, wore out much faster, and strangest of all - they smelled like sewage. Seriously, for about 6 weeks they smelled when you walked by, and not that new tire smell that we all love. 💩
The at3 are awesome. Much Better than ko2. On 4 gen Ram 1500.
I ran the ko2s on my chevy, they got me out of tight spots no problem. Now my needs have changed.. I may go back to toyo...
I'm getting a set of Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires.
Love the kenda RT. Have 35's on daily and 37's on my toy
2 out of the 3 TB guys rock them. Soon to be all 3!
Luv my Kenda Kleaver RT 10 ply tires 💪
What are the first wheels second row on the wall they look good.
Excluding the BFgs Out of the 4 remaining which one would rate #1 or give the edge to for off road and which one is best on the on road?
Last one looks like a Goodyear!!!
Who copied whom, I wonder?
Have a 2020 Toyota TRD Pro (3 months) more highway than off road. What tire and size would you recommend? Thank You
Are the less expensive tires in this group harder to balance? What are the drawbacks of those tires?
I have not seen a general wear out. As they start blowing at half to3/4 tread and a set will go quick, Goodrich start liaking air at those mileages can’t beat a good mud and snow at 10+ ply
Thank you for this, I’ll be getting the Kendas when my KO2’s are done. Love the performance of KO2’s but idk if they are worth their price when going up to a 35.
Eric Gonzo The Kenda’s are a great option for the price. You’ll have to let us know how you like them! www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/store/tires?&brand=Kenda
@@TrailBuilt v
Did you end up getting them?
I've run many tires from BFG's to Nitto's. All good tires but after running Delium Terra Raider MT's, I'm sold for life (or until I find something better). Amazing tire. I run a 37x12.50 17 on a Jeep Rubicon. And the price is unbeatable.
KO2’s hands down !
What's the weight on the Klever R/T in 35/12.5/17 size??
Duratracs are good off-road but o road very noisy.. I replaced them for nitto ridge grappler and the difference is very notable. Noise is minimum and the rg feel smooth in comparison
Yes I need tires and those shown were to big for my mini.
Hi. I have a jeep liberty 2008 and it needs tires and wouldlike to replace the stock rims too. the wheels are 245 60 18 and the bolt pattern is 5x114.3
I'm looking for all terrain tires but I spent more time in the road (it's a work vehicle) Can you help me to get a good idea what's the best for me please.
Ko2 are great in snow. Probably the best I’ve ever had. They are subpar in mud. They don’t clear out and I struggle in even wet grass. Sand or snow the way to go. On the road they rock, but I’m off road about as much as I’m on it and I’m not too impressed. Think I’m gunna go with the kenda
How many miles do you get out of them?
@@Alvy541 the KO2? I got a year out of, maybe 10,000 miles max. was really unimpressed by the wear on them. Now mind you my truck makes a little bit of power and I did some spinning in the rear-end which didn't help. I've had Kenda Kleaver hybrids and I can do nothing but sing praises. Very quiet on the road for what they are. Great off-road (sand, mud) i took my truck out on trails in 2wd that a 1 ton diesel shouldn't have been on and tore right through it. No one could believe it, and went 2 hours on the high way back home hauling a trailer without obnoxious road noise. I cant wait to try them in the snow this winter!!!
Please mention where the tires are made
Are Kanatis an improvement to, less than, or just an equal cheaper copy of the duratrac?
I am trying to decide between the Nitto Ridge Grappler ‘s, the Toyo open country AT3, and the BF good rich KO2. Perfect video for me to watch! My question is, do you have an opinion about which of these is quietest on the highway?
I love the ridge grappler.
Get the Nitto Ridge Grappler 1st or the Toyo AT3 2nd. The bfg would be my 3rd pick.
BfG.!!!!!! Can't beat em.!!!!
I've had ko2s, wildpeak at3w, general grabber atx, and goodyear wrangler ultra terrain. Was not impressed with the wildpeak at3w. They lasted 20k miles and I babied them. They got chipped up quickly, offered poor protection from rock penetration, and traction in mud was mediocre. Not a good tire for sustained offroad use, not too bad for highway driving though. I am really impressed with the goodyear ultraterrains and general grabbers atx so far. ko2s were good, I didnt have a ton of experience with them
Wish those nitto went down to 225 70r15 range to fit on my Subaru 😅
which one is the most quiet when on road?
EXO Grappler is a great 3PMSF tire and have more tread depth than the AT III's.
What was tread depth for klever???????????
What is the wheel (split five spoke) directly behind/above the Toyo AT3? RockTrix RT105?
It is the VenomRex VR601! www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/store/wheels?sort=popular&brand=VenomRex&wmodel=VR601
What is that multi spoke wheel to your left hip(right side of video)?
Anthem Wheels! The best and hottest wheel brand out there right now! Check them out here: www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/brands/wheels/Anthem+Off-Road
The tread depth for kendra an load rating not stated. Is that available on your site?
Sure is. Found under the specs section of each tire after clicking on it. Will be listed towards the bottom of the tire's specs. www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/store/tires?&brand=Kenda
Hello, my friend, what would you advise on tires for the 2018 Ford Explorer, that I would be happy in the field and at the same time on the asphalt at speeds of about 130-170km, I know that it's hard to compromise, but please advise me for 20 inch rims, because if I reduced the size of the rim, then the clearance but when i stay at 20cali ???

What are your thoughts on the Falken Wildpeak AT3W? There seem to be a lot of real world (tens of thousands of miles) reviews online that put them on par or better than KO2s?
@USA USA agree, just ran 15k on new set, wildpeak look awesome too
Falken Wildpeak AT3s all day for me. I’ve run several other trendy brands but I’m on my second set of AT3s. When these wear out I’ll get a third, etc. Great on all terrains except deep mud but they aren’t a mud tire.
Ive had wildpeaks for over a year. Done about 30000 kms. Still look brand new. Very good ride on highway. Cant say much to mud as havnt done much but highly recommend them good for the price.
Love my ridge graps. I get a TON of miles out of them. 07 duramax 2500. Only towing I do is a 23’ surf boat. What kind of mileage are you seeing out of the Kendra?
Also- Ridge graps could use a little more traction on ice and in slush.
Zach from our team has been running them for almost a full year now and they are still holding up great! Will keep you posted
Those kanati seem to be targetting the BFG KO2 as their direct competitor judging by the thread pattern!
Now, I would like to get some feedback and orientation
I need a nice set of tyres for 80% paved roads and 20% offroad (most of it dirt track and gravel) it is going on a toyota hilux, it is 4x4 and my trucks generally see a bit of highway, a bit of city, a bit of towing and a bit of hawling. I certainly max out at towing (about once or twice a month). I use about 50% to 70% of my payload capacity when only hawling. I like to go camping and fishing and it is both on and off road. I like traveling in highways at high speeds. I see no snow (or once every 5 years or so).
What would you reccomend me? My dad had a set of KO2 in his colorado and he was in love with them, wo much he has mostly selled me on those, but I still wanna consider other options. Most tyres here in mexico are from Cooper, BFG, Toyo, Nitto, Goodyear, Michelin, Firestone and Pirelli. Also have acces to Kenda, Maxxis and other smaller manufacturers, but not so much.
I was going to suggest the KO2 before I even got to that last paragraph!
@@TrailBuilt nice, thanks a lot, still curious about Toyo AT3's. People seem to prefer their grip on wet over the BFG's. Any advice or insight on that? Where I live we have like 15 to 20 weeks of heavy rain per year
On the wall behind you, which wheel is second from the left, bottom row??
Black Rhino Armory! bit.ly/3lzaKTC
Those trail hogs look alot like the duratracs I just bought. Itll be good to see how they compare over the next few months.
On the kanati mud hogs i got 45k miles and im just looking for new tires, the new rtx from them they dont come in 35" . Maybe kendas are next.
@@joaquinaguilar5942 The RTX 35's are in the works. The mold for the 35's are being developed. Should be released by later this year.
Seems like BFG is making some decisions to increase profit vs. performance. KO2 is the most expensive tire with the shallowest tread depth. No wonder the "Peoples Tire" has moved to the WildPeaks.
Most expensive? Compare the KO2 to the AT3W in the popular LT275/65R20.
First time buying off-road tires thanks for all the info little hard to stay focused after watching the guy get ran over in your video LoL
You bet!
I'm really liking those kenda's, I've been considering a set in the stock size for my 4Runner. I'll have to give the Kanatis a closer look though, I thought they were just a cheap generic tire, but if you guys are having a good experience, it may be worth a look.
Have you seen anything on the Kenda Klever AT2? It's fairly recent, I can't find anything about it online other than initial launch photos. If you guys did a video on that at some point that would be great!
I agree; I’d like to see that one as well.
All ive heard from people here in the northeast (new hampshire) is that the ridge grapplers are TERRIBLE in the snow
What about pro comp tires
Can't find a review of the Cooper Maxx tire. I love them
I realize your handle is TB "Off Road", but do you carry tires for work trucks? You know, a 2010 Sierra 5.3 true 8ft bed, 2wd, that hauls a bunch of lumber and materials to and from the jobsites, and rarely, if ever sees any serious off road situations? Something with longer life, decent fuel as well as quiet, wet/dry (I'm in southwest Louisiana, so it rains a LOT here.) traction.
Absolutely! Send me (Fred) an email at thurston@trailbuiltoffroad.com and I can help get you set up
Just ordered my toyo at3 285 55 20r
How about a video on top 5 worst off road tire
What NOT to buy???
I like that idea. Whether you find a deal and spend $600 or more it’s still a lot of money to most of us. How about you save us some money and as you said share what tires NOT to buy. As we all know some tire wear horrible or never balance well or are just overpriced/overrated. Maybe talk like this will make tire companies improve or lower prices.
TrailBuilt Off-Road yeah this would be fun. Id consider putting Thunderer trac claws on the list
Thinking about putting the Klevers,on my 3rd gen 4runner stock 265/70/16 so about $500 so $600 installed ,,,is that a good deal good deal

Wildpeak beat the toyos in every way.
Why doesn’t anyone compare the Cooper at3 they make 3 different versions, the at3 4s the at3 lt and the at3 xlt?
I'm in the uk and they also have an AT3 Sport and Sport2 which is a hybrid sort of thing. I'm going for the AT3 Sport 2 on my softroader Tiguan with a 2" lift😎
Cooper tires are 👍 great. USA 🇺🇸 made by Americans. Run them on all of our vehicles ( Mickey Thompson - made by Cooper on my Jeep Gladiator). #JTRSPARTACUS
I wouldn't put Cooper tire on a wheel barrow.
I have Cooper AT3 XLTs for touring in snow, sand, wet roads and normal driving. They perform better than KO2 in snow and sand on my 200 series LC. I have STT Pros for hard core off roading for mud, rocks, deep ruts etc. Best tyres I ve ever used. I ll be giving Toyo AT3 a shot next to see if they re better than Cooper AT3 XLTs
I have a set of Cooper AT3 XLTs on my 2015 Tacoma. They are not good in snow or slush.
I need tires for my f250 super duty. I had the bfg ko2s. They were unstoppable on my truck in the snow. Had a few big snowstorms here in nj a few years ago 2+ foot and they blew through everything. Had to pull my boss up a hill on the road in his diesel gmc dually with a 18 foot dump trailer hooked to his truck when he jack knifed it in a snow bank trying to get up the hill. Then had to blaze trail with him following just to get the trailer to the jobsite. Then had to pull him out 2 more times after we got the trailer off. Long story short the bfg ko2's were absolutely awesome in the snow only complaints is the price for 1 and they wore like shit. I had them for almost 4 years granted I don't drive far for work. We work local but I seriously got maybe 12 to 15 k miles on them and they were skins. I did have an alignment issue but rotated every oil change. Although I got years out of them but no mileage whatsoever. For how much I drive I should have had them for 10 years. Im really brand loyal and love bfg. I had the original ko's on my bronco and my explorer and expedition. The ko2's rocked when new but I guess they couldn't handle my f250. Im definitely digging those kendas.
I run K02 tires on my ZR2 which is MUCH lighter than an F250. But that said I agree about the performance in the snow and they are great in the sand but they are not a good mud tire. I have 25k miles on mine and they are still pretty much like new.
I run Goodyear Duratrac’s on my F-250 and love them. Very little road noise and do very well in mud and snow. Handling on road was a little weird at first then I discovered the tire place had the pressures wrong. Fixed that and it handles great.
I’ve had them on for about 2 years and 10,000 miles and they barely show any wear.
I have or had all of those and i like my cooper xlt s better on my superduty
What would you chose between the ko2's and the kenda r/t's I'm stuck between the 2 going on 3/4 ton chevy I do a fair amount of towing looking for good longevity out of tire but good in snow and mud for getting to my cabin in summer and winter (extremely minimum maintenance road) basically a jeep trail
Falken wildpeak at3w
What about yokohama mt's?
How about doing a tire test in snow and ice, alot of people rely on there jeep for driving in snowy and icy road conditions. I know no mud tire is good in ice
Thanks for the idea!
Where I live we have smooth roads, very slippery when wet, which hybrid would you prefer?
Can't go wrong with the Toyo Open Country AT3's and the BFG KO2 All-Terrains. Hope this helps!
So for same conditions as in comment- Toyo Open Country AT3 or Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx?
Not KO2, they suck on wet pavement. I now have open country at3, I take them crawling and performs highly better on wet pavements compared to KO2s. People get KO2s for the looks but most never go off- roading
I had ridge grapplers on my f150, the wet traction on road was not good.
@@stupidfastgt5801 I’ve got dick cepek trail county’s on my f150 and they do good in the wet for a 315/70/17 and really good off-road at Windrock in East Tennessee
What about the falken wildpeak at3s ?
They are trash
@@makothe5.741 this is literally the fist time I've heard anyone say that. Everyone I know loves them. I've run ko2's and Cooper at3's. My buddy got a set of rims and presa at's on his truck and ended up trading in his truck a week later. He gave me the rims and tires for a smoking deal. I don't like the presas at all. I have a set of the Falken wild at waiting to go on. I'm stoked. I've never ran a discount tire before and I won't ever again. The Falkens impressed me.
how many of them are made in the great U.S.??
I believe the Toyo open country AT3 is made in GA. Those are going to be my next set.
Toyo at3 and nitto both made in ga
5?? Am I high or is there only 4?

Ridge grappler starts to suck in winter. I’ve got half tread, and they suck.
I've read nothing but shit reviews on ridge grappler.
@@Rogue.Rider0 they came with the vehicle. At first they were good. Didn’t really have a chance to put them through their paces. They’ve reached about half their life. And won’t buy another five ever again.
@@isaactrujillo76 I just bought kenda klever RT. My nephew has ridge grappler and poor bastard get stuck everywhere during trail rides. I told him if he keeps buying nittos he might want to buy a winch with the next set. Pure shit. Should be called asphalt grappler.
@@Rogue.Rider0 😂 the Kenya’s look good, also looking at the toyos. But I really want to try the Goodyear wrangler duratracs. Been eyeing those for years.
@@isaactrujillo76 those are great. I have duratracks on my work truck.
BFG KO’s are the original All-Terrain tire…why are you all of a sudden saying it’s in the RT/ Hybrid class, and why are you also saying all-terrain’s are not meant for on and off road conditions? Isn’t that the definition of “all-terrain” ?? 🤔
All-Terrains typically don’t have a thick enough sidewall to handle off-road duty when aired down… and if you hit difficult, rocky trails in a fully-inflated AT, you’re much more likely to pick up a leak/flat when you come to a sharp-ish rock… especially if you make contact with the sidewall.
I Agree the KO2 is an all terrain not a hybrid. I believe almost every other tire review i watched put them in that category. After all they are the "King Of" AT tires. I have them and love them.
What rim is bottom row second from left
They liked your comment but couldn't respond? They're Black Rhino. Not sure the model.
Kanati trail hog is now $1224 for a set of 4. What changed??
The market has been crazy over the past year with some unfortunate price increases. Do you know what they were?
Toyo at3
The Kanati Trail Hog looks like a knock off of the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac
I thought so 2. Bet they are about to release a new thread pattern (Goodyears) and sold the patent off. Usually the way... Silverstone and Maxis got the Km1 pattern off Bfg...
In the A/T I should add!
