I've had enough of these stock all season Goodyears on my Ram. Got stuck in my buddies front yard. I would've had to tear up his yard to get out. These tires were spinning in 4 low without even touching the gas. The ground was wet and muddy but it was ridiculous.

The local shop has these tires to fit the 20 inch rims.

Cooper A/T3
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2
Toyo Open Country A/T 2
Yokohama Geolander A/T-S

What is you opinion on these tires? Which would you choose? Thanks!
 
On my last two trucks I've had the Cooper, Yokohama, BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, and the General Grabber AT2. I keep Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmors on my work truck.

The Goodyears are the best by far. The Generals are my favorite that doesn't break the bank; there's even a smaller set on my Subaru.

Out of your list, the Coopers.
 
Bridgestone or Cooper...

I would consider the Firestone AT as well. From my personal experience I have driven the Toyos and those handled anything that I threw at them. Snow, mud, sand etc. All handled with ease. Course it wasn't that quiet but it is an AT, not many are.
 
Out of your choices, Toyos if you want to spend more dough and Coopers for budget tires. I personally will vouch for Goodyear Wranglers for more $$$ and Hankook Dynapro ATM.

The Goodyear is the best all around AT tire, more so if you have snow. Hankook is the best budget AT tire if you can tolerate the sound after about 5k miles.
 
I have a set of the Cooper Discoverer A/T3's on a Sierra, and I'd buy them again.

Cooper is also running a $70 rebate right now as well (through 4/15).
 
Me personally I would go none of the above... I would order "Hankook DynaPro ATM's" online. Hands down the best tire I have ever owned on a truck or SUV.

The set on my JEEP WJ has around 50k mi on them with half tread left ! IIRC I paid around $500 shipped to my door for 16's, 20's would obviously be more but I would bet still cheaper then most for a VERY GOOD quality tire.I keep the air right and they just work ! I trail ride, snow and almost any other type of terrain when wheeling and they work great. They also give the Vehicle a nice solid feel with no noticeable sidewall flex on the road... I cant say enough about them !

Good luck.
 
After hurting my neck on two separate occasions, one time not so bad and the other time really bad and seriously painful, I have a LOT of respect for Yokohama rubber.
 
I am currently running the KO2 on 4 vehicles. I have owned many of the top brand name A/T tires and these, hands down have provided me with the highest level of on/off road traction.
 
Seems the Coopers or Bridgestones get the votes from the list. These are the only tires the local shop can get and they offer free lifetime rotation and balance. Along with a free alignment. I won't get these extras if I order from tire rack, etc.
 
I've owned truck and SUV tires from all the makes you listed, and more. I recently went with the Toyo AT II's. They do great in snow, rain, dirt, rocks, and are very smooth and quiet for an A/T.

P-metric sizes have a 65k treadwear warranty
LT sizes have a 50k treadwear warranty

They also have a 45 day, 500 mile trial period to try them out. If you don't like them, take them back.
 
I have the cooper RTX on the tundra. the rtx line I believe is just found at NTB. They look very similar to the Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar, which was a top choice of mine when shopping. the store manager told me I would likely be happier with the coopers. He frowned against the GY duratrak due to noise after they've worn for a year.

I've been very pleased with the coopers. it's a softer compound... it slips sooner than the bridgestone revos in the wet, but doesn't let go like bridgestone rubber does--- bridgestones for me tend to grab and then just break free... the coopers slip sooner but continue to claw. The coopers tow well and balanced out better for me than my previous set of destinations. They also do fine in your typical wet, shallow-mud state parks when maneuvering a TT. They have stiff sidewalls and track, for me, better than the general purpose GYs and yoko's which were previously on the truck when I bought it. They are, however, a bit heavy, and cost me a little bit of mpg.

we liked them enough to stick with the brand on my wife's MDX. Cs-3s on it. They've been /great/ on hers as well.
