Tires to buy
What has been everyones favorite all-terrain tire? I'm in the process of deciding which tire to buy for my Jeep Liberty. I don't do any heavy duty off-roading, just alot of dirt/gravel roads with mostly commuting on pavement. I've worn through the Bridgestone Dueler Revo's on there now. I don't think I would buy these again since I've gone through this same tire twice now. They wear way to fast! I've heard horror stories about the BFG TA"s on short wheelbases. What's worked good for you? I'd like input.
Are we there yet?

I got 55k+ miles out of my BFG All Terrains on my wrangler. They're great for jeeps, because of the vehicle size, so they'll last a lot longer than they're rated.
If it's on a truck, fahgett abatt it.
I've done many offroad trails with the BFG all terrains.

I had Toyo Open Country A/T's on my Toyota before I sold it. They seemed to hold up great, Quiet on the highway and still tuff on the rocks. http://www.toyo.com/docs/tires/tires...=lgt-suv-truck

I'm a dealer for Hankook and I'm putting these on my Honda Pilot:

I just put the new Hankook M/T on my Rubicon and so far they seem great.

While I love the Dueler Revo's tread pattern and how they handled off road I've gone through 2 sets now and only got 20,000 miles out of 'em both times. I've heard, on the BFG's, that they changed up the rubber compound so that now they are having bad cupping/alignment problems on short wheelbase vehicles. Longer wheelbases they're holding up fine. Consequently BFG is having big time warranty issues. I've had 3 stores tell me the same thing and in fact, many stores have stopped selling them. That's why I appreciate everyones input and experience. Right now I'm leaning towards the Firestone Destination A/T. They're ranked at #3 on TireRack.com. I haven't heard of the Hankook brand.

A good friend of mine did recommend the Revos for my Pilot. He told me he's gotten great wear on his Durango.
Hankook is probably not the best known tire but it is OE on the Ford F150 and lots of other cars and trucks. Their truck tire is OE on Internationals. Consumer Reports rated their Hiway A/S third last year, pretty good.

Wow. BFG A/T's are by far the best A/T tread available on the market. The tires have triple sidewalls, and wear very well. The muds are also good, but they wear very quickly.

BF Goodrich A/T have been great for me. 20,000 miles so far with minimal wear. Mostly freeway miles. Big O gave me the best price 1-1/2 years ago.
