Help with tire choice.
Needing to change out my tires soon and looking to grab some A/T’s in 275/70r18. Mostly road/highway but do venture mild off road for work occasionally. Have a few tires in mind but each one has pros/cons that even out the pack and am looking for anyone who has experience with these tires. I live in northern Utah and snow performance is important for me (although we got none this year..). Roads are usually slushy when it snows, but not sure if that’s considered snow performance or wet performance? Obviously a lot of recommendations for ko3 and at4w, but hate the weight.
Things I’m looking for in these tires:
- SL load would be nice
- snow/slush-> wet-> dry performance, in that order
- weight
- Looks obviously lol
Tires in questions
- Nitro Terra Grappler g3 Standard load
Pros
- lightweight (SL)
- great wet/dry traction according to TR
- price
Cons
- poor snow/ice performance
- mixed reviews on noise
- Bridgestone dueler at ascent
Pros
- good performance all around
- light for load range E 53lbs
Cons
- Load E
- not the coolest looking tire
- Cooper Stronghold AT
Pros
- best (of the 3) winter performer according to TR
- lighter for load E 55lbs
- most aggressive look of the 3
Cons
- Worst (of the 3) dry/wet performer according to TR
Any experience from the tires would be great!
