Hey all,
I am about due for new tires. I am happy with the stock Bridgestones for all my uses. Traction has been great for dry and wet. Mileage has been really good. Gravel is most off road I go. Thinking about either offroad/AT tires or onroad/AT tires that have 3 peak snow flake rating. How much do people lose in MPG going to AT styles tires?
Looking at AT4W, Open Country AT3, BFG Trail Terrain T/A or Continental Terrain Contact A/T.

Thanks
 
I tried the OC AT3’s in LT285/60/29 was not pleased with the wet traction. Ran them 500 miles and switched them out for Falken ATW4 in 305/55/20 standard load and love them. Lost 2 or 3 mpg.
 
I have venoms. Really good tire for the price. Wet traction isn’t the best and they are a bit noisy.
 
I forgot to mention I'm in upstate NY so need to perform for all weather conditions. I like the reviews of the AT4Ws but saw that are 20 lbs heavier than the stock tires, hence the mileage question.
Thanks again

You might check out the new Bridgestone Dueler Ascent AT. They have a 3 peak snowflake rating and only 3 lbs heavier then the stock tires. I was looking at the Continental Terrain Contact AT's but their winter rating is lower then most of the others but the Bridgestone seems to be well rated all around.

If you’re not going to be towing, get a tire with STD load range. They will be lighter.

If you need something for the snow, make sure the tires have the winter designation on it. I think it’s a snowflake icon
 
I ran the falken at3w on my last couple trucks and loved them. My wife's jeep has the new at4w on it and they will be what I replace the factory wrangler duratracs with when it's time. If your coming from a lighter highway type tire you'll see about 2mpg. That's what I got when I switched from the Firestone destination ht tires. The wife's jeep lost less than 1mpg compared to factory Firestone destination at.
 
I have been running Copper AT3/4S. A great all around AT tire thus far, no complaints from me. I lost about 1.5 mpg, but thought it a fair trade for a substantially better tire than the OEM's. I would do it again if they are still around when I need another set of tires. You have to pay attention to the weight of the tire in order to avoid loosing too much mpg.
 
I just installed Falken AT4W LT285/55/20.. Rides better than the Bridgestones. I imagine I'll lose some MPG, but truck feels better on the road. No real noticable road noise change. Maybe a little bumpy? I love em!

I had those on my '19 laramie 1500 4x4 ccsb offroad. they wore great. had great traction in rain and snow and I got 20 on the highway most of the time, even with 3.92 rear end. I plan to put a set on my '22 laramie 2500 6.7 soon.
 
Just an update on the AT4s. Ride is great.. bumps not bad on the LTs. Gas mileage took a hit. ~18 down to about 16.7 truck definitely feels like it requires more to gain momentum. Still liking them so far! I'll take the hits for better traction in snow and rain.
 
I'll be getting tires soon. Trying to decide between the Cooper AT3 and the Falken AT4. Street driving, no snow, some rain but not usually that bad. Getting AT just for looks. Trying to resist the urge to lift or level for now lol.
 
Give the firestone destination at tires a look. They have the AT loom but ride like highway tires. I had them on my gladiator and LOVED them.

Those last a long time? I do like the look.

I had them for 25k is miles and they had a lot of tread left when I traded the gladiator in. The UTG isnt the highest on them, but if memory serves its higher than the OEM bridgstones. They seemed like they were going to last to 50k is easily, which was nice since I I had the SL version and towed a lot with them. Quiet and I didnt loose any mpg with them. I also liked the way the white lettering looked, though its only on once side so you can have black lettering out if thats your preference.IMG_2752.jpegIMG_0036.jpegIMG_0035.jpeg

Nice. I prefer something a bit more aggressive
