I don't know man, I feel like they must be made of a special future dragon crap compound to handle the 1.21 gigawatts of power they add. I bet they are infused with leprechaun gold and children's tears.

Also, I will mention now that I have looked that my current tires are Dunlop Grandtrek AT20s.

Okay...just to throw a wrench. I wanted the dura tracks but went with the good year all terrain adventure with Kevlar. They looked like a good mix of off road and on road fun. The most off-road I do is through muddy fields for fun. I've been quite pleased. Pretty quiet and decent fuel economy. I went up a size and haven't notice a difference on the trip computer.
LOL.
Yeah. They're pricey. I wouldn't even look at them if it weren't for the extreme snow rating.
My Duratracs had that rating and they were the best I've ever had for snow travel. The KO's are reported to be even better.
I drive a lot in the snow...

I live in WI so I know snow. I just have trouble with the extra $100+ per tire on the bill.

I live in Oklahoma so we don't have snow all the time but when we do it usually just turns to ice because our city management sucks at cleaning the roads. So with that and the unpredictable OK weather, I'd like to get something that inspires confidence in most weather conditions but totally eats ice and snow like it's nothing. I know that is a lot to ask of a tire, but I will say before I sold my Jeep (yay) it had some MT tires on it, and in a matter of three months I drove it through ice, snow, mud, floods, and a tornado. That was an interesting day. I had to grab my wife and the cats and get to her storm shelter in a torrential downpour with tornado sirens going off. Fun times.
I guess in retrospect gas mileage isn't a HUGE issue. My jeep was getting about 15 and My 4Runner is getting between 17.3 and 19 depending on where I'm driving. Plus I am going to assume that while the Dunlop may not be as heavy as some tires, it is still an AT tire so the MPG drop would be more minimal compared to if my tires were all season street tires. If I drop a MPG or less, it's still cheaper than my Jeep.
I wish tire companies regularly listed the weight of the tires in each size so one could simply make a comparison. Probably wouldn't be able to get an exact number but it would at least provide a decent idea.

Tire Rating System
So just for fun and for anyone who is looking at tires like I am, I took the popular all-terrain tire options listed in this thread that are available at tirerack.com and created a points system. I did this so anyone who uses the search bar for tires could not only use the opinions formulated by our members, but also the ratings at tirerack in one thread. Keep in mind depending on what one desires in the quality of a tire makes these ratings variable to a large degree. This is meant to be a generic rating based on reviews. The reviews will be listed below and then placed into a point system which will be explained and used later. Prices are via tirerack and don not include installation charges. These reviews are based on, to the best of my knowledge, consumer reports and are in no way from personal experience. Hopefully this will help others in the future.

Best Bang for your buck...?
OffRoad: Probably the General Grabber AT2 because if you bust your sidewall on a rock, it won't cost an arm and a leg to fix it.
On road: Pick one. These ratings are based off of on road performance anyway, and they are speculative because ride quality is often determined by each individual, because there is no computer program to determine this.
*Keep in mind some tires will weigh more than others, resulting in a slight gas mileage decrease.*
There is also a plethora of other tire types on the market. The tires listed above were just the ones listed on the website that are common here. Nitto AT, Cooper AT3, and Falken WildPeak AT tires are also very common and generally highly regarded.
Please no one be offended by this rating system. It uses a system based upon ratings at tire rack that I put a numerical value to. If you have any of these tires that were rated "lower" and love them, I'm glad. This is just based off of reviews that are in a numeric value and accessible. It is potentially flawed as well due to the number of reviewers varying with each tire.
So just for fun and for anyone who is looking at tires like I am, I took the popular all-terrain tire options listed in this thread that are available at tirerack.com and created a points system. I did this so anyone who uses the search bar for tires could not only use the opinions formulated by our members, but also the ratings at tirerack in one thread.

Best Bang for your buck...?
OffRoad: Probably the General Grabber AT2 because if you bust your sidewall on a rock, it won't cost an arm and a leg to fix it.
On road: Pick one. These ratings are based off of on road performance anyway, and they are speculative because ride quality is often determined by each individual, because there is no computer program to determine this.
*Keep in mind some tires will weigh more than others, resulting in a slight gas mileage decrease.*
There is also a plethora of other tire types on the market. The tires listed above were just the ones listed on the website that are common here. Nitto AT, Cooper AT3, and Falken WildPeak AT tires are also very common and generally highly regarded.
Please no one be offended by this rating system. It uses a system based upon ratings at tire rack that I put a numerical value to. If you have any of these tires that were rated "lower" and love them, I'm glad. This is just based off of reviews that are in a numeric value and accessible. It is potentially flawed as well due to the number of reviewers varying with each tire.

I have had the Nitto Crossteks now for about 26,000 miles. Decent all around tire , have worn well and are quiet. I live near the Florida border so snow is not in the equation. Only annoying issue was one of the four I purchased was defective off the shelf causing significant vibration at hwy speeds. It took several visits to the dealer (they had worked on the car about the same time), and it took a trip to another tire dealer with a high speed balancer to find the problem. Tire Kingdom did solace the tire no questions asked. The last 25,000 miles have been good. They still have a ton of tread left but I will probably switch to Michelin LTX M/S at about 25,000 more miles (185,000 for the 4Runner).

Looks sharp!
Very nice....
Did you have any trouble balancing them? I read a few horror stories online that made me shy away...

I'm kind of leaning toward the Kevlars myself.
I love the TRD logo man. That's a sharp ride.
