1:46 Best All-Terrain Tires For Wet & Snow Conditions
Show More Show Less View Video Transcript
0:00
All-terrain tires are made to handle different road conditions, whether you're driving on highways
0:05
dirt roads, or rough trails. They give you better traction, last longer in tough conditions
0:10
and they just make your vehicle more capable overall. But there's a bunch of options out
0:15
there and not all of them live up to what they promise. So to help you choose the right one
0:20
I spent time going through the research, read through tons of reviews, and narrowed it down
0:24
to the eight best all-terrain tires. And if you find something you like, I'll leave links to all
0:29
all-terrain tires in the description below. First up is the General Grabber ATX which I
0:35
ranked as the most budget friendly. Even at this lower price point you're still getting a tough
0:40
all-terrain tire that handles daily driving easily and steps up when the terrain gets rough. Plus it
0:46
fits a 16 inch wheel and comes in load range E and that means strong sidewalls and higher load
0:52
capacity and with a 2700 56 pound load rating per tire it's well suited for
0:58
trucks that regularly pull trailers or carry serious weight on the road it
1:03
stays composed at highway speeds then transitions confidently to loose or uneven surfaces when you leave the pavement now the tread design looks bold
1:11
and aggressive but it's tuned to keep road noise more under control than many
1:16
mud terrain style tires now general also includes a durin gen technology in this
1:21
model and that improves durability and helps protect against cuts and chips when you drive
1:26
on gravel and rocky paths. Now one thing to keep in mind is the weight. It's roughly 56 pounds so
1:33
you may notice a little extra rotating mass. The ride is also firmer than a highway tire especially
1:40
at higher pressures. But for the price the General Grabber ATX is hard to beat. Next up is the Falcon
1:47
Wild Peak AT4W which I ranked as the best for wet and snow conditions. And this one is built for
1:53
those who deal with heavy rain or winter roads every year. It's severe snow rated with the
1:59
three peak mountain snowflake symbol and it uses full depth sipes so the winter bite stays consistent
2:05
as the tread wears. Now on wet roads the wide grooves also help move water and slush away from
2:10
the part of the tire that touches the road which helps you stay more in control and reduces the
2:15
chance of hydroplaning. Off road, the stagger shoulder blocks add extra bite on loose dirt and
2:21
gravel and push mud and debris out so the tread doesn't clog up. On some sizes, Falcon also includes
2:29
the three ply duraspec sidewall technology for some added sidewall protection on rocky trails
2:34
And inside it integrates the heat diffuser technology to move excess heat away from the
2:39
tire center during towing and extended road trips. Tires that run too hot wear unevenly
2:44
and falls sooner. And the AT4W manages that heat to protect both the tire and its tread life warranty which runs 60 miles for LT sizes and up to 65 miles for standard load
2:56
Just keep in mind that it won't be as quiet as a mile street tire, and fuel economy can
3:02
drop a bit compared to highway focused tires. But if wet traction and snow grip are your priority, then you'll love the wild peak AT4W
3:11
Up next is the Nitto Recon Grappler AT, which I ranked as the best for street and trails
3:18
And the strength on this tire is its balance. The tread patterns run zigzag grooves through
3:23
the center and out toward the shoulders, which creates more small edges that can grab
3:28
And when pavement turns into gravel or grunted dirt, the staggered shoulder lugs help the tire
3:34
dig in. Nitto also uses larger thread and shoulder blocks with a reinforced foundation underneath
3:39
so the tread doesn't flex as much. And that makes the tire more stable in the rain and on dry roads
3:46
Now the sidewall design also stands out here. Tall sidewall lugs line the outer edge to protect the sidewall on rocky terrain
3:54
And with two distinct sidewall designs, the mounted tire can face outward with the look that matches your truck
4:00
And the level of personalization is pretty uncommon in this category. For everyday driving, the mix of wide and narrow grooves break up airflow through the tread
4:08
which keeps road noise lower than many aggressive all-terrain designs. So if your truck spends most of its time on pavement but still sees weekend dirt roads
4:16
then you won't regret getting the Nitto Recon Grappler AT. Up next is the BF Goodrich All-Terrain K03, which I rank does the best for trucks and SUVs
4:26
Now BF Goodrich has been making all-terrain tires for longer than almost anyone else in the industry
4:31
They launched the world's first radial model back in 1976, and that long history is exactly why the KO3 feels so mature
4:40
It's strengthened with CoreGuard technology, which was originally developed for their Baja 1000 racing program
4:46
And the Baja 1000, it was one of the most punishing off-road races in the world
4:50
And BF Goodrich has won it 33 times. And you can see that influence in the sidewall
4:56
The construction is reinforced and the advanced deflection design steers sticks and stones away from the sidewall area
5:02
so they're less likely to snag and cause damage. You also get an updated compound design for long-term durability on abrasive surfaces like gravel
5:11
And thanks to the interlocking thread design, the blocks resist flex under pressure
5:15
so handling feels more secure on dry pavement. For traction, it has serrated shoulder blocks plus mud-phobic bars
5:23
We have also increased the siping by about 30% versus the previous model
5:27
which helps a lot in snow and on wet roads. Additionally, it carries the 3-peak mountain snowflake rating
5:33
along with a 400 UTQG threadwear score, AA traction and an A temperature grade which are all strong remarks in their categories So if you after a tire that can handle everything from highway to the trail to winter roads then go with the BF
5:49
Goodrich All-Terrain K03. Next up is the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss which I ranked as the best
5:55
off-road ready and this is an all-terrain that leans closer to trail ready than most but it still
6:01
stays livable on pavement. Now the thread is asymmetrical so the tire keeps a more organized
6:07
footprint on the road while the outer areas remain open and aggressive for dirt gravel and mud. Now
6:13
beyond that it comes with a silica reinforced compound that improves grip and braking in
6:18
wet conditions and it also makes the thread more resistant when gravel and sharp surfaces try to
6:23
chew it up. Pair that with stone injectors that clear rocks from the thread and shoulder
6:27
scallops that create extra biting edges and you get more confidence on loose terrain. Now noise
6:33
This control isn't ignored either. The thread includes sound deafening ribs even though it could still be louder than milder
6:39
all terrains. Now another highlight here is the casing. The Powerply X-Need construction uses a 3-ply sidewall which better resists punctures and
6:48
sidewall damage on rocky trails. And Mickey Thompson builds extreme side biters into the sidewall as raised traction blocks
6:56
so the outer edge has more grip and more protection when the tire drops into ruts or rubs against rock
7:03
mix highways and harsh terrain then you can't go wrong with the Mickey Thompson Baja boss
7:07
Up next is the Kumo Road Venture AT52 which I ranked as the best value and this one stands out
7:15
for the money because it doesn't specialize in just one thing. It spreads the budget across
7:20
comfort, traction and tread life and ends up being a very complete daily all-terrain. Kumo
7:26
also builds it with a five pitch block layout which means the thread blocks aren't all the
7:31
same rhythm as they hit the road. That breaks up the noise pattern so the cabin sounds calmer
7:36
on the highway with less drone. Now grip is handled in a smart way as well. Multi-angle
7:42
sipes and zigzag grooves put more small edges into the thread so wet roads and light snow become
7:47
more manageable. Now the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol is here too which means the
7:52
tire does meet the severe snow service standard for snow traction. And when the road turns to dirt
7:58
Rugged shoulder blocks provide strong traction and loose ground and the large interlocking
8:03
thread blocks reinforce the thread for even wear over time. With extreme side biters along the sidewall, you also get extra bite and ruts plus more
8:12
protection in the area that usually takes the hits. Now I'd say this isn't a heavy duding trail casing, so heavy towing and sharp rocky terrain
8:20
can push past its comfort zone. But for daily driving with some regular weekend dirt roads, the Kumo Roadventure AT52 won't
8:28
let you down Next we got the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT which I ranked as the best for most people And Cooper designed this one with real truck duty in mind and the engineering backs it up
8:42
Even where our technology keeps the contact patch consistent so the tread wears evenly
8:47
even when the tire is working under load or towing. Meanwhile durable thread technology brings a tougher compound that stands up to gravel
8:54
and rough surfaces while delivering confident wet traction. And when the road turns rocky, cut and chip resistant is a core part of what the tire
9:02
is meant to handle. Traction off road comes from the rugged traction shoulders and Cooper adds earth digger edges
9:09
in that shoulder area for extra bite and loose ground. And stone injector ledges throughout the thread grooves continuously push debris out during
9:17
use so debris is less likely to stay trapped and cause damage over time
9:22
The aggressive sidewall design plays into this too. It uses deep jagged features, claw through rutted sections and give the shoulder a bit
9:29
more shielding. That said, it doesn't have the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating
9:34
It manages packed snow and milder winter conditions well, but for severe winter regions the full
9:39
certification is the more complete answer. And while mud traction is solid for an all terrain, it isn't the top choice for constant
9:47
mud driving. But if you want the most well suited rounded option on the list, the Cooper Discover AT3
9:54
XLT is the right choice. Finally at number one is the Toyo Open Country AT3, which I rate as the best overall
10:01
And you're getting something called T-Mode Modeling Technology here, which is Toyo's
10:06
way of fine-tuning the thread, compound and structure so it performs well across wet roads
10:11
dirt and highway miles. And the 3D multi-wave sipes and the thread blocks are one of its most important features
10:20
Regular sipes create extra edges, but they can make the thread blocks feel a little more
10:23
squirming when you lean on the tire. Here the waves interlock in three dimensions so when the
10:29
block compresses it braces itself instead of bending around. And that's how you get clean
10:34
handling on dry roads plus extra bite for wet traction and snow. And I also found that a lot
10:40
of people feel better choosing it simply because it carries the three peak mountain snowflake
10:44
certification. Now off-road traction starts at the shoulder. The lugs are staggering to form
10:49
diagonal teeth along the perimeter which helps on sand and gravel sections and down in the grooves
10:56
injector features actively spit out rocks as the tire rolls plus the thread spacing is tuned to
11:01
stay capable in dirt without feeling loose on the highway so if your truck or suv sees all four
11:07
seasons and you want a tire that's equally prepared for all of them then the toyo open country 83 is
11:13
perfect and that's all for today i hope this list helped you choose the perfect all-terrain tire
