What's the best all terrain tire for my 4runner?

[Lucky13z]

I'm about ready for some new tires, but there are (what seem to be) so many good options out there that I can't decide. The tires I'm looking at are: Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx, Nitto Terra Grapplers, General Grabber AT2, and Bfg at/ko. I'm looking for a tire in the $150-$200 range that can handle these scenarios: Daily driven 2 mile dirt road to and from my house (It can get pretty muddy when it rains, and there are also a lot of "pools" of water ranging from 4"-24" deep when it rains. We also see anywhere from 1"-18" of snow every year.), easy to moderate trails (I like to explore a couple times a month, and I hunt about 2 weeks out of the year. The trails I'm on are mostly logging type trails, dry river beds, sand, gravel and shale.) If there's a tire I didn't list that I'm unaware of, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for everyone's input in advance. I also posted this in the polls section of the forum.

"Best" is hard to define

But consider the Goodyear Wrangler Dura-Tracs? IF BFG had a hybrid of Mud Terrain and All-Terrain, it would look like theDura-Tracs...

Middle tread looks like BFG AT's while shoulders look almost like Mud Terrains. PLUS they're ready for snow studs.

OP, how many threads did you start on this?

Here's what I said in your other thread.

We all like our tires and like to think that what we're rocking is the best, but don't overthink it. Any halfway decent AT tire will handle the sort of driving you're doing, and all of the tires you listed are at least halfway decent if not better. Goodyear, BFG, Cooper, General Grabber, Yokohama, Falken, all good names. Get whichever strikes your fancy, or whichever is on sale.

I ran the heck out of my BFG AT's. Driven daily and they went through some pretty though off road use too. Never had an issue with them. Great tires, I had 265/75/16s. About to get a set for my FJ.

I have the duratracs on my patriot. I didn't list those as an option for two reasons: 1) They are too expensive for me right now, and 2) They are a little on the loud side. Other than that, they are a good tire.
