I'm going to have to do some research on this...as my truck tires are worn.
I'd been debating this fall whether they have enough tread for this snow season or whether I can get through until spring. They're not worn-out, but tread-depth isn't optimum for deep/soft-snow traction. Why wait? Because I'm thrifty.
I learned last week that they may not have enough tread for mud-ice traction
(although, as The Rancher commented, "For what they want for 'em these days you gotta get all the mileage you can out of 'em" -- yep, that's my philosophy, too...so I guess I have more in common with that guy than I thought. )
I'm most-interested in a tire that provides long mileage/longevity and average (not exceptional) traction in soft surfaces. To be precise, what I'm looking for is long mileage for the money, i.e., I'd pay twice as much if they lasted twice as long. And Load Range E, of course.
There must be other "Tires" threads here, too...I'll search.
If you are looking for a long wearing tire that is good on dirt roads the BFG AT is the ticket.
Look over the survey results on tirerack.com, I have found it a good tool for research.
I was going over the same thing with my current tires feeling a little worn for the long winter season we have here. But then I decided to buy a set of snow tires, so I bought a used set of rims on ebay. And next summer I will put back on my trusty AT's and get many more miles out of them.
