For most truck owners seeking a capable mix of road manners and off-pavement traction, I’d start with the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W; the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is a stronger match for buyers prioritizing a heavy-duty tire, while the GT Radial Adventuro AT3 offers a more road-oriented alternative. These 14 options vary in size, load rating, and intended use, so a tire that suits a light-duty daily driver may not fit a truck that regularly carries heavy loads. More aggressive tread and higher load capacity can bring extra capability, but may also affect ride comfort, noise, and efficiency. I compare those tradeoffs alongside fitment and intended use to make the choices easier to separate. Read on for the full breakdown and a recommendation matched to your truck.

Key Takeaways
- The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W is my best overall starting point for buyers who want a broadly capable all-terrain tire, while the BFGoodrich KO3 is the heavy-duty alternative in this lineup.
- Load ratings and tire construction differ as much as tread designs. The KO3, Mastertrack BADLANDS AT, and load-range-E Lexani are aimed at heavier-duty fitments than the standard-load-style options listed here.
- Several listings are SUV-oriented or sold as four-tire sets. The Finalist Terreno listings should be checked against the truck’s exact requirements rather than assumed to suit every pickup.
- The Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT is the most mud-focused direction here, but its MT designation makes it a different choice from the more balanced all-terrain models.
- Exact fitment narrows the field quickly. The 15- and 16-inch options, such as the Lexani 215/75R15 and the 16-inch Thunderer and Mastertrack listings, serve different truck setups than the 18- and 20-inch options.

More Details on Our Top Picks
GT Radial Adventuro AT3 All-Season Radial Tire, P245/70R17 108T
The GT Radial Adventuro AT3 is the straightforward choice for truck and SUV owners who want all-terrain tread with year-round usability in a 17-inch fitment. Its 50,000-mile warranty gives it a clear ownership benchmark, while the 12/32-inch tread and non-directional pattern suit mixed pavement and occasional dirt-road driving. Compared with the more winter-focused Prinx HiCountry A/T2, the Adventuro has no stated snow certification, so I would not put it first for frequent severe-snow travel. Its P-metric sizing and 1,925-pound listed capacity also make it a less natural choice for demanding heavy loads than the LT options elsewhere in the roundup. The tradeoff is a balanced, general-purpose setup rather than a specialized work or winter tire; note that this listing is for one tire.
Pros:- All-terrain tread intended for trucks and SUVs
- All-season designation suits year-round general driving
- 50,000-mile mileage warranty
- Non-directional tread simplifies rotation choices
Cons:- P-metric 1,925-pound listed load capacity is less suited to demanding hauling than some LT tires
- No stated Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification
- Sold as a single tire rather than a set
Best for: Truck and SUV owners with a P245/70R17 fitment who split their driving between paved roads and occasional gravel or dirt.
Not ideal for: Drivers who regularly haul heavy loads or need a tire specifically described as snow-rated; the listed capacity and lack of a snow certification may not match those needs.
- Tire size:P245/70R17
- Load index:108
- Load capacity:1,925 pounds
- Maximum pressure:44 psi
- Tread depth:12/32 inches
- Tire diameter:30.6 inches
- Load range:SL
- Warranty:50,000-mile mileage warranty
Our verdict“Choose the Adventuro AT3 for everyday mixed-road use in its 17-inch size, but look to a snow-rated or LT option for severe winter routes or heavier truck work.”
Lexani Terrain Beast AT All-Terrain Tire, 215/75R15 100T
The Lexani Terrain Beast AT fills a narrower but useful role: an all-terrain option for trucks and SUVs that take a 215/75R15 tire. Its full-depth siping and open shoulders are intended to help with wet roads and loose debris, while the center rib and noise-reducing design favor steadier, calmer pavement driving than a more aggressive trail tire. Against the larger Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, the Lexani has a smaller diameter and shallower listed tread, making it better suited to modest-duty use than frequent rough terrain. The key limitation is its non-winter classification: the description mentions snow traction, but it does not establish suitability for severe winter conditions. I would choose it for mixed everyday driving, not as a dedicated snow or hard-use truck tire.
Pros:- Available in a 15-inch size for compatible older vehicles
- Full-depth siping is designed to aid wet and loose-surface traction
- Open shoulders help clear debris from the tread
- Center rib and noise-reducing design support paved-road stability and comfort
Cons:- Non-winter classification limits confidence for severe snow conditions
- 10.45/32-inch tread depth is less than the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W’s listed 14/32 inches
- Ride noise and comfort can vary by vehicle and road surface
Best for: Owners of older light trucks or SUVs requiring a 15-inch 215/75R15 fitment who want a road-oriented all-terrain tread.
Not ideal for: Drivers facing severe winter weather or regular rocky, heavily loaded off-road use; its non-winter classification and modest size point toward lighter-duty use.
- Tire size:215/75R15
- Rim size:15 inches
- Load index:100
- Load capacity:1,764 pounds
- Tread depth:10.45/32 inches
- Tire diameter:27.6 inches
- Load range:SL
- Season classification:Non-winter
Our verdict“Pick the Terrain Beast AT for a compatible 15-inch truck or SUV that sees mostly pavement and occasional rough roads, not for severe winter or demanding trail duty.”
Falken Wildpeak A/T4W All-Terrain Tire, 265/70R17 115T
The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W stands out for buyers who want a more trail-capable all-terrain tire without giving up a stated highway-oriented design. Its 14/32-inch tread, durable-sidewall emphasis, and year-round positioning make it a stronger fit for repeated gravel, mud, and rock use than the more road-focused Lexani Terrain Beast AT. A 65,000-mile limited warranty is also the longest stated mileage warranty among these five picks. That broader capability comes with a size and fitment tradeoff: its 265/70R17 dimensions are not interchangeable with the GT Radial’s P245/70R17, so buyers need to match their vehicle requirements. The supplied load capacity is listed as 2 pounds, an implausible figure that should be verified with the seller or manufacturer before purchase rather than treated as usable capacity information.
Pros:- 14/32-inch tread depth supports a more trail-focused use case
- Designed for highway and off-road driving
- Year-round positioning includes heat and snow conditions
- 65,000-mile limited warranty is the longest stated warranty in this group
Cons:- Listed load capacity of 2 pounds appears erroneous and needs verification
- 265/70R17 fitment will not suit vehicles requiring the other listed sizes
- Its more off-road-oriented tread may be unnecessary for drivers who stay on pavement
Best for: 17-inch light-truck and SUV owners who regularly combine highway miles with gravel, mud, or rocky-road travel and value a long stated tread warranty.
Not ideal for: Buyers who cannot confirm the tire’s load capacity or whose vehicle requires a different size; do not rely on the supplied 2-pound capacity listing.
- Tire size:265/70R17
- Load index:115
- Listed load capacity:2 pounds; verify this apparent data error
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Tread depth:14/32 inches
- Tire diameter:31.7 inches
- Load range:SL
- Warranty:65,000-mile limited warranty
Our verdict“The Wildpeak A/T4W is the strongest pick here for frequent mixed-terrain driving and a long stated warranty, provided its load information is verified before buying.”
Thunderer Ranger ATR All-Terrain 265/75R16 116T Tire
The Thunderer Ranger ATR is the most winter-adaptable pick in this group for buyers whose local rules and driving conditions make studded tires useful. Its tread design and 3D sipes are intended to support traction on and off pavement, while the full nylon overwrap ply adds a stated strength feature. The option to add studs where permitted separates it from the GT Radial Adventuro AT3, which is presented as a general all-season tire without stud capability. The Ranger ATR also carries a 55,000-mile limited tread life warranty, but the product data gives fewer sizing and operating details than the Falken or Lexani listings. Studding is not a universal advantage: local restrictions apply, and it may be unnecessary for drivers who rarely encounter icy roads. This is a specialized choice for suitable 16-inch fitments, not the default pick for mild-weather commuting.
Pros:- Can be pinned with studs where local rules allow
- 3D sipes and tread pattern are designed for on- and off-road traction
- Full nylon overwrap ply adds a stated strength feature
- 55,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
Cons:- Stud use may be restricted by local regulations
- Product data does not provide tread depth, pressure, or load capacity
- Stud capability may add little value for drivers in mild winter climates
Best for: Light-truck and SUV owners with a 265/75R16 fitment who face icy winter roads and may legally use studded tires.
Not ideal for: Drivers in areas where studs are prohibited or those seeking a detailed specification sheet before choosing; the supplied listing has limited technical data.
- Tire size:265/75R16
- Load index:116
- Vehicle type:Light trucks and SUVs
- Tread life warranty:55,000-mile limited manufacturer warranty
- Studdable:Yes, where permitted
- Construction feature:Full nylon overwrap ply
Our verdict“Choose the Ranger ATR when you need a 16-inch all-terrain tire with the option of legal stud use; otherwise, the better-documented Falken is a more versatile mixed-terrain choice.”
Prinx HiCountry A/T2 All-Terrain Tire, 275/60R20 116T XL
The Prinx HiCountry A/T2 is the clearest match here for owners who need a 20-inch all-terrain tire with a stated snow rating. Its Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification and M+S marking distinguish it from the GT Radial Adventuro AT3, whose description provides no comparable snow certification. A reinforced sidewall and noise-reducing pattern add useful everyday aims for a year-round tire, and the 50,000-mile limited warranty gives buyers a defined tread-life benchmark. The size is the main boundary: at 275/60R20 and 33 inches in diameter, it serves a different fitment from the 17-inch Falken or 16-inch Thunderer. The supplied 2-pound load capacity is plainly questionable; confirm the correct load information and vehicle fitment before purchase. Its snow credential is useful, but it does not by itself establish suitability for every severe winter condition.
Pros:- Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified and M+S rated
- 13/32-inch tread depth for year-round all-terrain use
- XL load range and reinforced-sidewall design
- Pattern Noise Simulation is intended to reduce road noise
Cons:- Listed load capacity of 2 pounds appears erroneous and needs verification
- 20-inch sizing limits compatibility compared with the 16- and 17-inch options
- 50,000-mile warranty is shorter than the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W’s stated warranty
Best for: Jeep, light-truck, and SUV owners with a compatible 275/60R20 fitment who want an all-terrain tire carrying a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification.
Not ideal for: Buyers who cannot verify the listed load capacity or whose vehicles require a different wheel size; the stated 2-pound capacity should not be used for load planning.
- Tire size:275/60R20
- Load index:116
- Load range:XL
- Listed load capacity:2 pounds; verify this apparent data error
- Tread depth:13/32 inches
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Tire diameter:33 inches
- Certifications:Three Peak Mountain Snowflake; M+S
- Warranty:50,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
Our verdict“Choose the HiCountry A/T2 for a compatible 20-inch vehicle when snow certification matters, but verify its load data before relying on it for truck use.”
Set of 4 Finalist Terreno A/T 275/65R18 116T All-Terrain SUV Tires
I’d shortlist this set for truck and SUV owners who want an all-terrain tread without giving up the emphasis on wet- and dry-road handling. Its 275/65R18 fitment and stated 2,751-pound-per-tire load capacity give buyers useful fit and load figures to check against their vehicle placard. The 3D siping and tread blocks are intended to add grip, while the design also targets lower road noise and rolling resistance. Compared with the more heavily reinforced Mastertrack BADLANDS AT, this Finalist is the more road-comfort-oriented choice, but its 2-ply construction is less suited to buyers prioritizing a tougher casing for demanding work. The 50,000-mile treadwear warranty and three-year road hazard warranty add coverage, though these remain limited warranties. Wheels are not included.
Pros:- Set of four sized for compatible 18-inch rims
- 3D siping and tread blocks are designed to support grip and handling
- Tread design targets wet- and dry-road use alongside all-terrain driving
- Includes limited 50,000-mile treadwear and three-year road hazard warranties
Cons:- 2-ply construction is less oriented toward impact resistance than the 10-ply Mastertrack BADLANDS AT
- Wheels and rims are not included
- Warranty coverage is limited and does not establish actual tread life
Best for: Truck and SUV owners with compatible 18-inch wheels who split their driving between paved roads and occasional dirt, gravel, or other moderate terrain.
Not ideal for: Drivers who regularly tackle sharp rocks, heavy worksite use, or severe off-road terrain and want a reinforced, higher-ply tire casing.
- Quantity:4 tires
- Tire size:275/65R18
- Load index:116
- Load capacity:2,751 lbs per tire
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Construction:Radial, 2-ply
- Treadwear warranty:50,000-mile limited warranty
- Road hazard warranty:3 years
Our verdict“Choose this Finalist set for a road-focused 18-inch all-terrain fitment, but look at the Mastertrack if casing reinforcement matters more than comfort-oriented design.”
Prinx HiCountry A/T2 All-Terrain Light Truck Tire, 265/70R17 115T
The Prinx HiCountry A/T2 has a clear distinction in this group: its Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification makes it the most directly specified choice here for buyers who face winter conditions as well as dirt and gravel. The aggressive tread and reinforced sidewalls are aimed at mixed on- and off-road use, while Pattern Noise Simulation is intended to temper the cabin noise that can come with an all-terrain pattern. Compared with the Finalist Terreno A/T 275/65R18, this Prinx adds a stated winter certification but uses a different, smaller 17-inch fitment, so the vehicle’s required size should decide between them. There is a 50,000-mile limited tread life warranty, but the supplied load capacity of “2 pounds” is plainly inconsistent with the other listed data. I would verify load information before buying.
Pros:- Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified and M+S rated
- Aggressive tread and reinforced sidewalls are designed for mixed-surface use
- Pattern Noise Simulation is intended to reduce tread noise
- Includes a limited 50,000-mile tread life warranty
Cons:- Listed load capacity of 2 pounds appears to be a data error and needs verification
- Single tire listing rather than a four-tire set
- Its 265/70R17 size will not suit vehicles requiring the 18-inch Finalist fitment
Best for: Drivers with a compatible 17-inch fitment who want one tire for year-round road use, light off-road travel, and certified severe-snow service.
Not ideal for: Truck owners who cannot confirm the tire’s correct load capacity or whose vehicle requires a different size or load rating.
- Tire size:265/70R17
- Load index:115
- Rim size:17 inches
- Tread depth:13/32 inches
- Tire diameter:31.7 inches
- Load range:SL
- Winter certification:Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake; M+S rated
- Warranty:50,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
Our verdict“Pick the Prinx if winter certification is a priority and its fitment and load rating are confirmed for your truck.”
Set of 4 Finalist Terreno A/T All-Terrain SUV Tires, 275/60R20 115T
This four-tire Finalist set suits SUV and light-truck owners whose vehicle calls for 275/60R20 tires and who want a measured balance between everyday road use and occasional rough surfaces. Step-down tread blocks and 3D siping are intended to support grip and control, while the design emphasizes wet- and dry-road comfort rather than the heavy-duty casing approach of the Mastertrack BADLANDS AT. The listed 2,674-pound-per-tire capacity and SL load range give buyers concrete compatibility details, but they should still be checked against the vehicle’s required load rating. A 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty and three-year road hazard warranty are included. As with the 18-inch Finalist set, the wheels are not part of the package; this model’s larger rim size is the key reason to choose it over that sibling.
Pros:- Set of four in a 275/60R20 fitment
- Step-down tread blocks and 3D siping are designed to support traction and control
- Listed load capacity is 2,674 pounds per tire
- Includes limited 50,000-mile treadwear and three-year road hazard warranties
Cons:- Standard Load construction is less suited to buyers seeking a heavy-duty casing like the Mastertrack’s 10-ply build
- Wheels and rims are not included
- The 20-inch fitment limits compatibility to vehicles specified for that size
Best for: SUV and light-truck owners who need a set of four 20-inch all-terrain tires for mostly paved driving with occasional gravel or light trail use.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking a reinforced tire for frequent heavy loads or rough, sharp terrain, or anyone whose vehicle does not call for the 20-inch size.
- Quantity:4 tires
- Tire size:275/60R20
- Load index:115
- Load capacity:2,674 lbs per tire
- Load range:SL (Standard Load)
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Treadwear warranty:50,000-mile limited warranty
- Road hazard warranty:3 years
Our verdict“Choose this set when your SUV requires 20-inch tires and your priority is everyday usability with occasional all-terrain driving.”
Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT LT275/65R18 113Q C Tire
Although this roundup focuses on all-terrain tires, the Wrangler Territory MT is the more specialized pick for truck owners who regularly encounter deep mud or snow. Its wraparound shoulders are designed to add bite in those conditions, and the 15/32-inch tread depth gives this mud-terrain model a more aggressive footing than the road-oriented Finalist Terreno A/T. That focus brings a tradeoff: mud-terrain tread can produce more road noise and is less tailored to quiet daily commuting. Goodyear’s sequenced pitch pattern is intended to reduce that noise, but it does not turn this into a comfort-first all-terrain tire. The LT275/65R18 size, Load Range C, and 6-ply rating are useful fitment details. The supplied load-capacity figure of 2 pounds conflicts with the listed tire specifications, so I’d confirm the correct rating before purchase.
Pros:- Wraparound shoulders are designed to improve traction in deep mud and snow
- 15/32-inch tread depth supports its more aggressive mud-terrain purpose
- Sequenced pitch pattern is intended to reduce tread noise
- Radial construction with a 6-ply rating and Load Range C
Cons:- Mud-terrain tread may be noisier on pavement than the Finalist Terreno A/T
- Listed load capacity of 2 pounds appears inconsistent and needs confirmation
- Supplied as a single tire rather than a set of four
Best for: Light-truck owners with a compatible 18-inch fitment who frequently drive through deep mud, snowy tracks, or other conditions where aggressive shoulder traction matters.
Not ideal for: Drivers who spend most of their time on pavement and prioritize a quiet ride, or buyers unable to verify the tire’s correct load capacity.
- Tire size:LT275/65R18
- Load index:113
- Load range:C
- Construction:Radial, 6-ply rating
- Tread depth:15/32 inches
- Tire diameter:32 inches
- Weight:44 lbs
- Tread type:Symmetrical mud-terrain
Our verdict“Choose the Wrangler Territory MT for frequent mud and snow rather than daily road comfort, and confirm its load rating before fitting it to your truck.”
Set of 4 Mastertrack BADLANDS AT All-Terrain LT245/75R16 Tires, Load Index 120/116S
The Mastertrack BADLANDS AT earns its place for buyers who need a reinforced light-truck tire more than a comfort-focused SUV tire. Its 10-ply construction, listed 3,042-pound load capacity, and 15.3/32-inch tread depth point toward a more work-oriented setup than the 2-ply Finalist Terreno A/T 275/65R18. Self-cleaning tread is designed to shed loose material, while water-channeling grooves target wet-road control. It also offers a 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty and a three-year road hazard warranty, though the latter has coverage and tread-wear limits. The tradeoffs are its narrower LT245/75R16 fitment and 80 psi maximum pressure, which must match the vehicle and wheel requirements. This set includes four tires, but no rims, so it is not a complete wheel package.
Pros:- 10-ply reinforced casing is designed to resist cuts and impacts
- Listed load capacity of 3,042 pounds per tire
- Self-cleaning tread and water-channeling grooves target loose terrain and wet roads
- Set of four includes limited 50,000-mile treadwear and three-year road hazard warranties
Cons:- LT245/75R16 fitment is narrower and smaller than the 18- and 20-inch Finalist sets
- Maximum pressure of 80 psi requires careful matching to vehicle and wheel specifications
- Road hazard coverage has time and tread-wear limits, and wheels are not included
Best for: Light-truck owners with compatible 16-inch wheels who carry heavier loads or drive on gravel, mud, and other rough surfaces where a reinforced casing is a priority.
Not ideal for: SUV drivers focused on quiet pavement comfort, or truck owners whose vehicle requires a different size, pressure range, or load rating.
- Quantity:4 tires
- Tire size:LT245/75R16
- Load index:120/116
- Load capacity:3,042 lbs
- Maximum pressure:80 psi
- Tread depth:15.3/32 inches
- Tire diameter:30.47 inches
- Treadwear warranty:50,000-mile limited warranty
Our verdict“Choose the Mastertrack set if your 16-inch truck fitment and load needs call for a reinforced casing rather than a more road-comfort-focused tire.”
Atturo Trail Blade A/T LT225/75R16 115/112S All-Terrain Tire
I’d shortlist the Atturo Trail Blade A/T for a truck that needs an E-rated tire in a 16-inch fitment, especially when load capacity matters as much as mixed-surface traction. Its 115/112 load index and stated capacity of up to 2,649 pounds per tire give it a more work-focused profile than the lighter Armstrong Tru-Trac AT, though the Armstrong offers a longer stated treadwear warranty. Deep siping and wide grooves are intended to help in wet, muddy, and snowy conditions, while the heavy-duty carcass suits regular hauling. The tradeoff is limited certainty on long-term support: this Atturo lists no manufacturer warranty, and its 50,000-mile treadwear rating is not a substitute for warranty coverage. I’d also check the vehicle’s fitment before choosing this narrower 225-width tire.
Pros:- E load range and stated capacity up to 2,649 pounds per tire suit compatible work-truck fitments.
- Deep siping and wide grooves are designed to improve grip on wet, muddy, and snowy surfaces.
- Non-directional tread allows flexible mounting orientation.
- 50,000-mile treadwear rating provides a stated wear-life reference.
Cons:- No manufacturer warranty is listed.
- Tire only; the compatible rim and wheel must be sourced separately.
- The 225/75R16 size will not fit trucks requiring a wider or larger-diameter tire.
Best for: Truck owners with a compatible 16-inch wheel who prioritize E-range load capacity for hauling and want one tire for pavement and occasional muddy or snowy routes.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking a manufacturer-backed warranty, a wider stance, or a tire intended for frequent, demanding off-road use.
- Tire size:225/75R16
- Load index:115/112
- Load range:E
- Load capacity:2,649/2,469 lbs per tire
- Maximum pressure:80 psi
- Tread depth:11.11 mm
- Tire diameter:29.3 inches
Our verdict“Choose the Atturo if your compatible 16-inch truck needs E-range load capacity and mixed-surface traction, but skip it if warranty backing is a priority.”
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 Tire, LT275/70R18/E 125/122S
I’d place the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 ahead of simpler all-terrain options when a truck regularly faces gravel, mud, or snow and the owner values stated warranty coverage. Its LT275/70R18/E fitment and 125/122 load index give it a substantial-duty profile, while sidewall protection features are intended to help resist damage from sticks and stones. Compared with the Armstrong Tru-Trac AT, the KO3 has a more explicit off-pavement durability focus; the Armstrong, by contrast, lists a longer 60,000-mile treadwear warranty. The KO3 provides a 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty plus a six-year standard limited warranty, but the supplied specifications do not state its tread depth or maximum load capacity. I’d confirm both vehicle fitment and warranty terms before buying.
Pros:- Sidewall protection features are designed to resist damage from sticks and stones.
- Tread is designed for traction on gravel, mud, and snow.
- Includes a 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty.
- Also lists a six-year standard limited warranty.
Cons:- Its 50,000-mile treadwear warranty is shorter than the Armstrong Tru-Trac AT’s stated 60,000-mile warranty.
- The supplied product data does not specify tread depth or maximum load capacity.
- LT275/70R18 fitment limits it to vehicles approved for that tire size.
Best for: Owners of compatible 18-inch trucks or SUVs that see regular gravel, rough tracks, and seasonal snow, and who want stated treadwear and standard warranty coverage.
Not ideal for: Drivers whose priority is the longest listed treadwear warranty, or buyers who need verified tread-depth and load-capacity figures before selecting a tire.
- Tire size:LT275/70R18/E
- Rim size:18 inches
- Load index:125/122
- Maximum pressure:80 psi
- Construction:Radial
- Tread type:Symmetrical
- Treadwear warranty:50,000-mile limited warranty
- Standard warranty:6-year limited warranty
Our verdict“Pick the KO3 for a compatible truck that needs a durability-focused tire and listed warranty coverage for varied terrain, rather than the longest stated treadwear term.”
Lexani Terrain Beast AT All-Terrain Tire, LT265/70R17 121/118S, Load Range E
The Lexani Terrain Beast AT stands out for buyers who want an E-range, 17-inch truck tire with an aggressive tread design but still spend substantial time on pavement. Its center rib is intended to support straight-line stability, while the computer-optimized tread aims to limit noise and vibration—road manners that are less central to the gravel-and-damage emphasis of the BFGoodrich KO3. Deep grooves, full-depth siping, and open shoulders target wet, muddy, and snowy surfaces and help shed debris. There is a notable specification conflict, though: the product data labels this tire for summer use while also describing snow traction, so I wouldn’t treat it as a clear year-round choice without checking the manufacturer’s guidance. No tread-life mileage is provided, either, making longevity harder to compare.
Pros:- Load Range E and a 10-ply rating suit compatible higher-load truck applications.
- Center rib is designed to support stability on paved roads.
- Full-depth siping and open shoulders are designed to aid traction and clear debris.
- Tread design aims to reduce road noise and vibration.
Cons:- The listed season is summer, creating uncertainty for buyers seeking a year-round tire.
- No tread-life mileage is provided.
- The listed 40-inch tire diameter appears inconsistent with the stated LT265/70R17 size, so fitment should be verified.
Best for: Owners of compatible 17-inch trucks who want E-range load capacity, a stability-oriented center rib, and an all-terrain pattern for mixed pavement and rough-road use.
Not ideal for: Drivers who need a clearly specified year-round tire, rely on a stated tread-life figure, or want verified dimensions before purchase.
- Tire size:LT265/70R17
- Load index:121/118
- Load range:E
- Load capacity:3,195 pounds
- Maximum pressure:80 psi
- Tread depth:12/32 inches
- Listed season:Summer
Our verdict“Consider the Lexani for a compatible 17-inch truck that needs E-range capacity and pavement stability, but verify its season and dimensions before relying on it for year-round use.”
Armstrong Tru-Trac AT 265/70R17 116T All-Terrain Tire
I’d choose the Armstrong Tru-Trac AT when the buying priority is a clearly stated wear-life warranty in a common 17-inch size, rather than the KO3’s more explicit focus on sidewall protection for rougher routes. Its 60,000-mile treadwear warranty is the longest stated here, and the XL construction with a 116 load index is aimed at extra-load applications. The tradeoff is that the supplied description gives little detail about its tread design or specific off-road protection, so I can’t make the same case for repeated rocky or muddy use as I can for the BFGoodrich. It is listed as year-round, but the data does not spell out particular snow or mud features. The wheel is not included, and the 50 psi maximum is lower than the E-range Atturo and Lexani figures.
Pros:- 60,000-mile treadwear warranty is the longest stated among these four options.
- XL construction and a 116 load index support extra-load fitments.
- Listed for year-round use.
- Non-directional tread allows flexible mounting orientation.
Cons:- Product details provide limited information about tread design and off-road protection.
- Maximum pressure is listed as 50 psi, below the E-range Atturo and Lexani tires.
- Tire only; rim and wheel are not included.
Best for: Drivers with a compatible 17-inch truck or SUV who want an all-season all-terrain tire, XL capacity, and a clearly stated 60,000-mile treadwear warranty.
Not ideal for: Owners who regularly drive rocky trails or need detailed evidence of sidewall protection, deep off-road tread features, or high-pressure E-range construction.
- Tire size:265/70R17
- Load index:116
- Load capacity:2,756 lbs per tire
- Load range:XL
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Tread depth:13/32 inch
- Tire diameter:31.6 inches
- Treadwear warranty:60,000 miles
Our verdict“Choose the Armstrong for a compatible 17-inch vehicle where stated treadwear coverage and year-round use matter more than documented heavy-duty trail protection.”
How We Picked
I compared the 14 listings through a truck-owner lens: stated tire size, load index and range where supplied, tire type, and whether the listing describes an individual tire or a set of four. Those details affect fitment, load suitability, and what a buyer needs to order; a higher load rating is not a substitute for matching the vehicle’s specifications. I also weighed each model’s apparent role, from road-leaning all-terrain options to rugged light-truck constructions and the mud-terrain Goodyear.
The ranking favors a useful balance for a broad range of truck use, then gives credit to options with a clearer specialty or fitment role. The Falken leads as the broad-use pick; the BFGoodrich ranks as the premium heavy-duty choice, not a universal upgrade. More specialized or less fully specified listings rank lower because buyers may need to verify intended use, construction, and vehicle compatibility more carefully. I do not treat the different sizes or set configurations as directly interchangeable, and I recommend checking the truck placard and manufacturer fitment guidance before purchase.
Factors to Consider When Choosing All Terrain Tires For Trucks
Before choosing among these all-terrain tires, I’d settle the fitment and workload questions first. Tread appearance can draw attention, but size, load requirements, and how the truck is used determine whether a tire is a sensible match. These checks also help prevent paying for capability the truck rarely uses or choosing a tire that does not suit its normal routes.
Match the Tire Size to the Truck, Not Just the Wheel
Start with the tire size on the driver-door placard or in the owner’s manual, then confirm any proposed change against vehicle guidance. A tire’s diameter, width, and wheel diameter all affect clearance, handling, and speedometer accuracy. The lineup spans 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, and 20-inch fitments, so the model name alone cannot tell you whether a tire fits. Avoid assuming that a wider tire or larger wheel will improve capability; it can add fitment complications and change the ride. If you are considering a non-original size, have a qualified tire professional check clearance and load suitability before ordering.
Treat Load Index and Load Range as a Workload Match
Load markings matter most when the truck carries tools, towing equipment, or substantial payloads. Compare the tire’s capacity with the truck’s required specifications and your actual use, rather than choosing the highest number in the list by default. A heavy-duty construction can be appropriate for demanding work, but it may be unnecessary for a lightly loaded daily driver. Never reduce load capacity below the vehicle maker’s requirement, and do not assume that a tire with a larger load index automatically raises the truck’s legal or safe payload. If your load varies, ask a tire professional to account for axle limits and inflation guidance.
Choose Tread Aggression for Your Actual Routes
All-terrain tread is a compromise between paved-road use and loose or uneven surfaces, but not every tire in this roundup has the same emphasis. A more aggressive design can make sense for frequent dirt, gravel, or muddy access roads, while a road-oriented option may better suit commuters who only leave pavement occasionally. The Wrangler Territory MT is the lineup’s mud-terrain outlier, so compare it with the all-terrain models rather than treating the categories as identical. More aggressive tread can bring additional road noise and a less settled feel on pavement. Think about the surfaces you drive most often, not the rarest trip you hope to take.
Separate a Single-Tire Listing From a Four-Tire Set
Several products here are explicitly listed as sets of four, while most are individual tires. Check the quantity before ordering and plan for matching tires across the axle, following the vehicle maker’s guidance on replacement. Mixing tread patterns, sizes, or constructions can affect handling and may be unsuitable for some drivetrain systems. Set listings can simplify a full replacement, but confirm that all four tires have the size and load specifications your truck needs. Also verify what the seller includes and whether mounting, balancing, and installation are separate.
Balance Off-Road Capability Against Daily Comfort
A truck that spends nearly every day on highways has different priorities from one that regularly reaches job sites or unpaved trails. Tread pattern and tire construction can influence noise, steering response, and ride feel, so capability is not the only measure of fit. Consider your commute length, typical road conditions, and how often the truck is loaded before choosing a more rugged build. Do not rely on an all-terrain label alone to predict wet-road behavior or winter suitability; check the tire’s full specifications and any applicable markings. If most of your driving is paved, a balanced design may serve you better than the most aggressive-looking option.
Pay for a Specialty Only When You Need It
A premium or heavy-duty tire can make sense when its construction and intended use line up with your truck’s work, but the label does not guarantee a better match for every buyer. First identify whether you need higher load capacity, more frequent off-pavement use, or a particular size that is hard to find. If none applies, a more specialized tire may add tradeoffs without solving a real problem. Compare complete specifications and confirm the exact fitment rather than choosing by brand name alone. When two options appear close, prioritize the one whose ratings and intended role best match the vehicle maker’s requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a tire with a different load rating from the one currently on my truck?
I would not go below the load capacity required by the truck manufacturer. A tire with a higher rating may be suitable if its size and other specifications also fit, but that alone does not increase the vehicle’s payload limit. Compare the tire sidewall details with the door placard and the owner’s manual, including any guidance for towing or carrying loads. If you are unsure how the rating applies to your axle loads, ask a tire professional before buying.
Should I choose the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT over an all-terrain tire?
Choose it only if its mud-terrain focus matches the surfaces you drive regularly. The rest of this roundup is centered on all-terrain options, which are generally the more relevant comparison for trucks that split time between pavement and occasional dirt or gravel. A mud-terrain tire may bring more aggressive tread tradeoffs on everyday roads. Compare the tire’s exact fitment and intended use with your normal routes, and do not choose it solely for appearance.
Are the Finalist Terreno four-tire listings suitable for a pickup?
The listing describes these as all-terrain SUV tires, so I would verify suitability for your specific pickup rather than assume the set fits. Check the exact tire size, load index, and any required load range against the vehicle placard and manufacturer guidance. A matching diameter does not by itself confirm adequate load capacity. If the truck is used for towing or carrying cargo, confirm the tire’s capacity with a tire professional before ordering.
Is a load-range-E all-terrain tire a good choice for a lightly loaded truck?
Not automatically. A heavier-duty tire can suit a truck that regularly carries significant loads, but a lightly loaded daily driver may not need that construction. Consider the truck’s required specifications and the comfort and road-use tradeoffs that can come with a more work-focused tire. Do not select a higher load range just because it sounds more durable. Match capacity to the vehicle’s requirements and your real workload.
How do I know whether to order one tire or a complete set?
Read the quantity in the listing carefully: most products here name one tire, while the Finalist and Mastertrack entries specify sets of four. Before replacing fewer than four, check your vehicle maker’s guidance, especially if the truck has a drivetrain that calls for closely matched tire circumference. Keep axle pairs consistent and confirm whether the replacement matches the remaining tires in size and construction. Also check what the order includes and arrange mounting and balancing as needed.
Conclusion
For the broadest all-terrain starting point, I recommend the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W as my best overall pick. Buyers seeking a more road-oriented option can look first at the GT Radial Adventuro AT3; I’d treat it as a value-minded contender only after confirming fitment and specifications. For a premium, heavy-duty direction, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 stands out, while the load-range-E Lexani Terrain Beast AT and Mastertrack BADLANDS AT suit shoppers comparing work-focused constructions. Newer all-terrain buyers should begin with the truck’s original size and required load rating, then compare the Falken with less specialized options rather than jumping to a mud-terrain tire. For frequent mud use, the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT is the specific-use choice; for any buyer, the best match is the tire whose fitment, load capacity, and tread emphasis suit the truck’s real work and routes.
