Gotta put some new tires on the old f150. Looking at hankook dynapro atm and at Cooper at3. Price is pretty similar, atms look a little more aggressive. If you have had theses tires how did you like them? Mostly concerned with treadwear, traction and noise. Thanks

Cooper At3 are what I use. I get 40,000 out of them. They wear good even when towing. I tried the mastercraft brand that cooper makes but they wear faster. I went back to at3. Good snow traction. Not too much road noise. Made in USA.

If I lived in Minnesota, I'd be looking hard at the Falken Wildpeak AT3w....Great snow rated AT tire, that does very well in snow and ice, not as good in mud, but not bad...I bet they're cheaper than the tires mentioned above too.
Forgot to mention previously, very good tread life, and little road noise also.

I've run both on my Duramax. Got 65,000 out of the Coopers. Running the Hankook now. Handle great, feel great, and are quieter than the Cooper. Still have a set of Coopers on the other truck. They are wearing awesome, also. Got 45,000 on them, and they look like new.
You won't go wrong with either one, but I think I like my Hankooks better.
Oh, by the way...mine are the Hankook copy that Discount tire sells. It's the exact same tire...and roll off the same line at the same time...just get a different stamp on the sidewall. The store manager told me he was at the factory watching them made, when they sealed the deal to have the tires made for Discount Tire. Think I saved about $160 on the set.
I sure like mine, and have nothing bad to say about them. Rotate every 5,000 or so, and run plenty of air, and you'll be GTG.

Yukon Al , What's it say on the sidewalls of those hankook copies? Are they all terrain trail guide, or something like that? I have e set of those on my old Durango that the tread looks like hankooks.

Look into some Roadian M/Ts great tires for the price!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Mud... I just had a full set of Hankook Dynapro ATM put on a Grand Cherokee I am fitting out for fun. They are 30” tires. Paid just over 500 all in and out the door. I have about 400 miles on them, 250 of that today. Very happy on the highway and ran them around in 8” fresh snow today as well and I am very happy traction wise as well.

I ran AT3s on a Ranger and loved them.
I ran AT3s on a 1500 Sierra....didn't love them. Uneven wear and a belt broke in a front tire. Also had issues with punctures.
I have the Dynapros on the Sierra now. Had them a few months now and around 10k miles. I love them. They are IMO a better tire for my uses. A little more aggressive and a lot better traction. Especially wet roads and snow. They are actually snow rated. I can definitely tell the difference.
Noise, I dont really notice either one...
Tread life is to be determined on the Dynapros...but, I just looked at them today and they look good as new.
It's my daily driver...but my only vehicle so snow, mud, dirt road, farm lanes etc..I need a good in between tire. I think I've found one I like. Nitto makes one I was also looking at...I think the Ridge Grappler was the one I was looking at...reviews and everything seemed good and I think price was comparable.
Should note....my gas mileage has dropped pretty significantly. But it's hard to determine for sure because winter idling and my daily drive is different than it used to be. Same size but definitely a heavier more aggressive tire.

I think I lost one mile per gallon because they were shorter, they were on my last gas truck, 98 4wd Interesting. Usually mileage goes down when you oversize from oem. Osky

Tires that last 50,000+ miles are not usually great snow/ ice tires. Softer compound tires are what you want but don't expect great longevity.
Price wise, the best tires I've found that are a GREAT tire is the General Grabber AT2' s.
