What to compare on the best all terrain tires

The best all terrain tires for your truck or SUV depend on your size, your load and where you drive, and no list can pick for you. What a list can do is point to the facts that makers state and that you can check against a size. Those are the snow marking, the treadwear warranty and the sizes offered, plus whether your size is a metric (P) or light truck (LT) fit.

• 3PMSF. The three-peak mountain snowflake marking means the tire met an industry snow-traction test. Confirm it for your size, because not every size carries it.
• Treadwear warranty. The mileage the maker will cover, usually with conditions, exclusions and proration. Read the warranty for your size.
• Sizes. Check that your size exists, and whether it is LT or P-metric. LT tires are built and rated differently from P-metric tires.
• Intended use. All-terrain tires are a compromise. If you drive deep mud often, read all-terrain vs mud-terrain tires.

Before you pick a size, learn to read it: how to read tire size explains the code in the diagram below, and the tire size comparison shows how a new size compares with your stock one.

The four tires side by side

Everything in the table comes from the maker's product page on the check date. Where a page gives a range, we give the range. We rank nothing and show no scores: we have not tested these tires.

Our four picks and why we chose them

Each pick has a role, the facts the maker states, a note on who it is not for and a link to the page we read. Warranty terms have conditions: each maker's page says to read the full warranty, and so should you.

1. Widest size list

   BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3

   Why we chose it: The maker's current all-terrain with the snowflake marking and a very wide size list.

   • 3PMSF (severe snow rated) on the maker's page
   • 50,000-mile mileage warranty
   • Standard limited warranty: defects for the life of the original usable tread or 6 years, whichever comes first
   • 121 sizes listed on the maker's page

   Not for: Drivers who want a long mileage warranty above all: other tires in this list state more miles.

   Why we chose it: The highest treadwear figure on this list, with separate numbers for metric and LT sizes.

4. Best for mostly-pavement driving

   Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

   Why we chose it: Aimed at drivers who spend most miles on pavement and want snow-rated tread.

   • 65,000 mi / 95,000 km treadwear warranty
   • The maker says actual mileage may vary by vehicle type or tire size and exclusions apply

Choosing a size without guessing

A tire is a bad place to guess. Start with your stock size on the door-jamb placard or in the owner's manual, and make a short list of sizes you could fit. Then use the tire size calculator for the diameter, width and sidewall of each, and the comparison tool for the change in speedometer reading and clearance. We do not list stock tire sizes by model here, because the maker's spec page is the only source we trust for those.

Wheel width and offset matter as much as the tire. See the wheel offset calculator, and if you go much larger, read planning a suspension upgrade because lift, tires and gearing have to be planned together. The gear ratio calculator shows whether regearing is worth thinking about.

Pressure, repairs and care

Tires wear faster at the wrong pressure. Use the placard value as your starting point, check cold, and re-check after airing down. If you air down on the trail, follow how to air down safely. Carry the means to fix a flat: our plug kit picks and inflator picks list options by role. Rotate and inspect as your warranty requires, because mileage warranties often need records.
