Opinions on best "lite" AT tire?

BFG AT KO's, I put them on both my Cherokee and my Grand. Low noise, excellent wet/dry traction, really good in snow and mud when needed. I live in Virginia and we get snow/ice/mud every year, the rest of the time it's just wet and these are the best tires I've found yet.

I sure wouldn't use the BFG A/T KOs - I had them on a 91 XJ and I did not at all like the ride on the highway - very harsh IMHO, even at 32 psi. They sure are good looking and are reasonably effective all-around tires, except for the mud.....

Why are you calling a Cherokee "heavy"? It's a tin can on wheels. A Land Cruiser is heavy.

Have you checked the Tire Rack?

Well... heh heh... it actually IS a Land Cruiser. But I respect the opinion of this group so much that I wanted to ask the question here. So I threw in the part about what would you put on your Cherokee since many Cherokee's are used for what I intend to use this rig for: hauling my family around.

John, what the hell are you running, anyway? The only time I run those BFG A/T's over 30 psi is when the load in the bed of the Comanche gets about cab high and the bump stops in the rear are getting a workout. I run 30 front, 28 rear for wear and ride and tire wear normally - anything over that and it acts like an over inflated basketball going down the road. Door sticker calls for 30 psi front/rear at rated load so I don't see any reason for ever testing that sidewall MAX pressure rating.

When I got the truck it had BFG T/A Advantage tires on it (passenger highway tires). It made a couple of trips CO to S. Texas before I needed new rubber so when I went to the A/T I was expecting a lot of noise and a much rougher ride. Surprise - the A/T was just noticably noiser (except for those cross-grooved concrete stretches - man, do those sing) and the ride was comparable. Best wet road tire I've ever used, grip on ice or packed snow is also really good. Wet, slushy snow performance is good, but deep, loose snow is not as good as a more agressive tread as the A/T tends to load up. Same problem as deep mud - they don't clear as well as I would like. They wear like iron - 45,000 and I'm looking at somewhere around 60, 65k before I need to even think about changing them.

Duler AT Revo's are excellent rain, snow tires, noiser than I expected but worth it. Joe Carroll
