What's your favorite "lite" AT tire?

Question

I will be needing to put tires on my Land Cruiser soon and I'd love to hear what you think about the various tires branded "AT" that are really just beefed-up street tires. I don't want to go even as aggressive as say a BFG AT, for example, for this vehicle.

My priorities are:

wet pavement

snow and ice

overall strength

longetevity and noise

mud

....in that order I guess. I would like a strong tire because it's a heavy vehicle and it will see some rocky terrain. I'd like it to last long and run quiet but MOST of all I want it to to kick ass on wet pavement, packed snow, and do as well as can be expected on ice.

I have used BFG AT's and I do like that tire, but that was on a Jeep. They would be a good reference point if comparing brands! But i am thinking more like the "AT's" I see on SUV's everywhere, or the ones on the Land Cruiser now (Michelan TLX's I believe).

Thanks!!!

Why not a BFG All Terrain, that would be my pick for your type of driving surfaces.Or if you are right into Mud go the new Cooper SST. (Old ones are very aggressive and noisey but fantastic in Mud and very strong)

Maybe BFG Land Terrain?

For my money, there's only one tire in the world: MichelinCurrently using the M-S tire, which is far superior to any AT tire on theroad. The generous siping makes it a high-mileage tire, and it's extremelysmooth at high speed, and quiet. Off-road it meets or exceeds the AT tire aswell. I had a set of the AT tires before these, they worked great off-roadbut were much more noisy on the highway and lasted only about 45k MS tire is awesome on snow or ice.

I really like the BFG All Terrain TKO's... I use them in the bush for forestry work all the time. They are great on the highway and good in mud, snow, etc.

They're the best I have run so far I have a pair on my Land Rover Discovery and on my Toyota Tundra DC

BFG All Terrain Radials are hard to beat.  I had two sets on my 4X4 and when they had over 50,000 there was still tread there.
