Location: South East Wisconsin | I need to replace the tires on my tow vehicle (2005 F150). Anybody have any experience with the following two brands? General Grabber AT2, Hankook Dynapro ATM. I have read some reviews on both tires, both seem very comparable. Just curious what others run on their tow vehicle? |

Location: Wisconsin | Don't know about those specific tires, but can say I was so pleased with my Hankooks that I bought some for my second car as well. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | I just ended up buying 8 tires for tow vehicles. Priced them out, then ran out the warranty information and ride data I could get my hands on. Paid about $9/tire more and bought Eldorado ATV's I think is the model. Anyway one truck had 10 ply tires on it and rode like a straight frame Harley. Put these on and she's back to a good ride. Heard allot of good reports on the Hankooks... but the price comparison brought me back to the El Dorado's |

| I have General Grabber ATs on my 2001 Chevy 1500 4x4, and would buy them again.
Good snow traction, low noise, good price, and they are holding up well at 20,000 miles. |

Location: Savage, MN | I know my following comment is not in regards to either brand in question but I can say don't go with Bridgestone Duellers. The had a great tread set up and ride but cup funny after about 30k miles. Just my opinion. |

I'm on my second set of LTX ms2's. Best winter traction and quiet! Got 82k out of the last ones. Would've gotten more before the wear bars, but decided to get another set before the snow flies. |

Location: Morton, IL & Conover, WI | I'm running Grabber AT2's on my 2500 diesel. At 40,000 they are still holding up to plenty of heavy towing. Great traction driving in the UP winters and pulling my duck hunting boat up some questionable ramps. Will buy another set when I wear these out. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | My Tahoe came with a set of good looking Bridgestones on it. They were the 10-ply truck tires. Stiff as a cobb! I also noted on some of the backroads the mud filled the tread like crazy and traction was completely lost. They did not last long on the highway though so as soon as they got close...gone. Point was I could not believe how they bogged in the mud and then hang on to it for miles before it would finally all come off. Yep at the right tire pressure. |

Location: Davenport, IA | I have the A/T2's on my Durango right now. I bought them based on my experience with the B.F. Goodrich's they copy. So far they don't seem to have the sealing problem I had with the Goodrich's. They are noisier though. I had 90,000 on the Goodrich's when I traded the vehicle in with at least 10,000 miles to go. I'm hoping I can get close to that with these tires, but realistically I have a vehicle that weighs a ton more. |

| What sky blaster said about Bridgestone Duellers is spot on. Great until 30,000, then it's cup cup cup! |

Location: Dane Country | I run Yokahoma Geolander ATS. I have them 2004 Ford Expedition, I had them on my 1997 Ford F250 and they are awesome tires for the money. I now have 40,000 miles on them and they still look great. When I bought them I get them for $125.00 a tire all in. |
