You will find that many people including myself will recommend BFG AT KO's for an all terrain. There are a couple other good ones out there, however not sure if they will have them in a size that works for you. Others include, Mickey Thompson ATZ, Procomp Xtreme Terrain AT, and (Nitto Terra Grappler or Toyo OpenCountry AT - basically same tire). My vote though for an AT are the BFG's.

I have had Firestone destination At's on for the past 5k, so far for the price they have been great.

I have Goodyear's Duratrac, and they are by far the best all around tire ive owned. Great in the mud/sand and gravel. They are also great in the winter (mountain snowflake rated)
If your in and out of the bush I highly recommend these

If you're looking for a good highway/AT I always recommend the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor. GREAT tires. I had them on my old truck and got almost 80k out of them. I put those tires through Minnesota winters, Georgia clay, and many miles on the highway and they never let me down.

MAJOR second on the Wrangler Silent Armor Pro Grade. Just because I could, I wanted to run my last set to 80.000. I just took them off at 77,000 hearing of substantial wet weather coming to Southern California. Glad I did. We had two to three inches of snow yesterday (yes here just 30 mile north of Los Angeles) and these new tires were like cheating they grip so good.

To attest to the construction of the Wrangler Silent Armor, the pictures show a major gash in the sidewall I ran for the last 30,000 miles......rotated around front and rear while towing and everything. My tire dealer thought I was crazy. Again, just because I could.

There are other good tires I have not tried. I can tell you these are great and the absolute best of the best. I'm sure they're more than many others but at 77K, the math is likely better than most. I do not work for,nor am I affiliated with Goodyear. Anything this good deserves credit where credit is due.

x3 on the silent armours. leaps and bounds ahead of bfg's. these tires actually self clean instead of clumping with mud like the bfg's do.

i run in the bush with mine and they are EXCELLENT. Awesome grip in snow and even on ice and a very good highway tire.

D!(k Cepek FC II if they come in that size. Great tread life, low noise and never got stuck with them. Everyone and their mother doesn't run them. They look great for an AT too, by far one of the best looking AT's.

I'm on my second set of Cooper LTZ's. Overall a very good tire and they have to be the best value out there.
