We had Firestone ATs on our Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. The tires were the only thing that worked well on that vehicle. BFG's also work great.

Saw this on Denver CL. If my new house were done, I'd snag these for my teardrop trailer build. Anyways, might be a decent deal if they are really half tread.
GY Duratracs for $300/set. 285/70/17

I have Mit X on my 2000 4Runner
Baby Beast is a daily driver and this set has about 30K on them with great life and good performance in rain and what little snow we have in Tidewater Va and coastal NC. They play good on beach sand and in a bit of fishing hole trails she goes to. The tread is aggressive enough to grip and makes some on road noise, but not enough to be a problem.

O.K., as you requested: based on these three tires only and on your criteria (what’s important to you, your usage and not mine or someone else’s, understanding there may be better choices-but...:wink2
My very subjective impressions: I had the Goodyear DuraTracs and currently have the DynaPros.They are about the same in the snow. o.k., neither is a dedicated "winter" tire.
The Hankooks handle better in the dry and wet than the DuraTracs. Cornering and braking.
The Hankooks are quieter.
They are about the same on forest service roads(fire trails).
The Duratracs are slightly better in sand.
I don’t have experience with your third candidate. However, Consumer Reports ran 14 brands of 265/70/17 A/T tires for 16,000 miles rather than 3 or 4 brands and/or for a few hundred test miles. They were finally rated on: Dry Braking, Wet Braking, Handling, Hydroplaning, Snow Traction, Ice Braking, Ride, Noise, Rolling Resistance and Tread Life. First place was the Dynapro ATM, second was Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure, Third was LTX A/T 2. Same overall scores.

I've got the Michelin's with about 20k on them, I felt they would be the best road tire as my wife was using the 4Runner at the time as out primary to haul the 3 little guys around. Overall they do not dissapoint as a good over all tire. Now that she's moved on I'd probably go with a more aggressive off road tire for myself. We'll see how well they do in t he snow this year since there actually some up in the Sierras this year! They have some sipes so I'm assuming they'll be OK, maybe not the best but for an all season I'd buy them again.

BFGoodrich's All-Terrain T/A KO2 or Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 Tires IMO are the best! :snacker:

You saw my post on the NEXEN AT PROs 275 55 R20 on LE rims?

No. Seems big. Any pictures of these mounted on the LE wheels? I would think the wheels would be too narrow for that wide of a tire.

Makes the t4r stance look way better. You wont be disappointed.

Looks great from the sides, but do you have a rear pic shot of them to see the width?

I've had several sets of these on trucks in the past. Great offroad tire, but not the best ride on the street. Plus they usually require a lot of weight to balance out. Even then, they would still cause vibrations.

Definitely looks better for sure. Any notable changes in fuel economy or performance?

Fuel economy feels the same, and for sure feels more stabled and hugs the road.

I have the Hankook Dynapros in 265/70r17. I am happy with them. They were very well-priced. They're a light tire and the impact to my gas mileage was minimal. However, I also switched to lighter wheels, so that may have been an impact. I live in Atlanta and haven't had a chance to evaluate snow but it's been good in rain so far. They're okay in the mud but I've noticed a little slipping in minor places.
I had the duratracs on my Jeep and absolutely loved them. I would get them for my 4runner but I prefer them with 15" wheels and don't want to impact my MPGs (oddly enough - my MPGs weren't affected at all by my 33x12.50x15 duratracs).
