I don't see why the opinion of the at2s I'd is so poor. Maybe they are inconsistently made, because I love the set I've got. They are quiet, do good in snow, dirt, and not as bad in mud as I expected them to be. Good on ice too.
This one set I had put on 60k miles ago. They might make it through one more year. But that's probably the end of the line. I've had 2 sets of bfgs that I thought were great. But these have lasted twice as long, and worn more evenly, been more reliable, and I Havent had them balanced since the day they were put on.
But, as expected, they are no mud tire. But I play hard and am not easy on them. They have been abused and never once have they been in a tire shop. No punctures or anything.
The big negative, they are heavy as hell, but worth the extra weight since they give a tough DD tire.
But the red letters are SWEET!! if my truck wasn't so torqueless I'd actually lift it a touch and get a set. But I'd have to gear it too aggressively to turn them.
