It's LTX A/T. No, they discontinued it for the AT2. Personally, I think the original AT's were more aggressive. The AT2's are geared even more towards an "All-Season" crowd. But they're good tires, if you spend 99% of your time on-road. If that's your case, pick up the AT2.

well i cant really spend 800 bucks on 4 new tires since they have 30K miles on them... so will the at2 be noticeable from the other A/T?

The AT2 looks similar but they added more syping. If your truck is a 4X4 you will have to match tread depth within 2/32nds to avoid possibly binding up the drive train. You might find that you'll have to get 4 new. You might be able to find some used ones somewhere to avoid the cost.
