So I was dead set on the purchasing 275/70/18 Defender LTX M/S2 Tires for my new 3500...but a good buddy of mine is trying to push me towards the AT 2's as they offer a little more off road traction.
I am on paved roads/hwy driving probably 85% of the year, but the 15% I'm off pavement (hunting season, summer camping,) sometime roads can get pretty nasty,muddy, snowy. Lastly I probably will be doing max of 2500 towing miles (8k travel trailer) yearly. Here in the Boise, Idaho area were I live, actually don't see too much snow (maybe 2-3 storms a year that are melted away within a week) More cold rain that sometimes freezes.
Thoughts on one way or the other? My F250 came with the AT2's but I switched within a week for a mud tire (mistake) so I am not really sure how good they might be?
My wifes Tahoe has P rated Defender LTX M/S2's and they are flat awesome. Way more grip and off road tractoin than you would expect and super quiet on the hwy - BUT those are 4 ply tires, not 10ply.
