I have a 2003 frontier crew cab lb auto 4x4, I want to find a good set of tires for snow/mud around factory size or very close. I also want to lift it, probably an inch or two. Not the full 3in i did on my 98 (it was a monster in the snow...).

This is my daily driver so I want it to be able to go down the road at highway speeds (sometimes 75mph). It seems to be lacking power as it is not being supercharged...

I was planning on a/t revos and a shackle/ torsion crank for 1-2in safely.
I would like to do a limited slip/ locker in the rear too

(truck spins both a lot and 2 very little, when i lifted the rear and spun one tire the other didnt spin but the driveshaft did...? maybe it does have limited slip)

here is a pic of my 1998 after the winch last year... ( it did awesome in the snow with no traction lockers/limited slip....)

here in nebraska we had well over 3 feet of snow on the ground in omaha for over a month, that was a blast pulling people in ditches out, I even winched a fed ex truck out once..

I ran the Revos and did not like them at all. they wore out fast and wet traction sucked.
i'm running the General AT2's now they are about half thread with over 28,000 miles on them. I'm so much happier with them.
both sets of tires ive had over the posted speed limits and the generals whers still kinda quiet where the Revos were so loud on the road

I have the Firestone Destination A/T's. They go good in the snow and rain but tend to harden when it gets bellow freezing. The Only trouble I've had is on large patches of ice. I think I'm gonna buy a set of studded winter tires for this coming winter.

I'm happy with my Bridgestone Dueler H/C Alenza. Great traction in the snow and ice. They are a smooth ride on the road too.

You are not going to want a locker in the snow. It will want to push you straight ahead on turns. Also after it locks after a turn it is hard to handle. You'd want limited slip if anything. I too have a set of General Grabbers AT2s and they are great in the snow. 19" of snow in a stock Suzuki Samurai. I was pushing it with the front bumper. Never got stuck though.

 

[jammintrey]

yea that makes a lot of sense... I am looking real hard at a 3in lift now and a set or 31in yokohama Geolanders... Or possibly some tires from treadwrights.com... ANyone have expieriance with them?

bfg a/t ko's were a great all around tire when i was running them. excellent wet traction.

 

[jammintrey]

Thats (bfg k/o) one of my top 3 tires im looking at, a little pricey and tread depth is lacking in my opinion... but snow/icy conditions look great with it...

Go look at Grabbers AT2s the tread pattern is very similar but the compound seems a little softer. The price is also much more reasonable.

you get what you pay for.

Couldnt have said it better myself... I have found this in many things in life.

Especially toilets... Cheap ones just aint gonna flush it... lol

Hate to tell you i've owned both and the Grabbers are just as good if not better than BFG A/T KOs. They don't crack over time like BFGs do. Wet traction also seems to be better too.

If you want to pay extra for the name go for it.

Agreed. General Grabber AT2's are hands down the best all-around truck tire I have ridden on. At least in my rig! EXCELLENT in snow, super deep depth of tread (softer, too, but lasts a long time, as I'm expecting at least 55k and I drive, shall we say, FUN), great wet traction, great sluch traction, and they're quite sticky on dry pavement too! Dirt, mud, anything. No problem in any of it whatsoever, and they're quiet!!! WAY quieter than my last set of Firestone highway tires!

And all for well under $600 installed and out the door.

Mine did really good in the snow this past winter. I was driving around in 2wd like there was no snow on the ground while everyone else was sliding all over the place.

I have driven with bfg ats and I own a set of general at2s and I would prefer the AT2s. They are about the same off road, but the generals handle better on the street and are cheaper. They do good off road and I've had mine in mud sand and snow. They also wear pretty good. Mine have have tread and Ive put 23k on them of me driving like a maniac and doing burnouts and stuff
