To be honest, if you're looking for longevity of the tire (some last 100k!) and absolute best comfort, then you might want to look elsewhere. The AT2 is moderately aggressive. Reports on this model show that on dry paved roads, it can be a little bouncier and a little less responsive if the road isn't perfectly smooth - and let's face it, what road is??
On the other hand, to be able to get these for $117.50 (after the $70 rebate), then have them mounted/balanced, that's a pretty darn good deal in my book! I found a couple of other sites that were almost as low as Walmart but not quite there, but they didn't advertise about the mfg'er rebate, and probably had shipping (...I didn't check)
Where we are, we have long, cold Winters with plenty of snow. In Spring, lots of mud both in the yard and on the 20+ miles of gravel to get to town. When the roads are dry there is lots of sand in places, often ruts from after raining - oh, and we RARELY get on an interstate anymore. These tires are rated.....I think to 106MPH, but we never get over 70!! Nearest interstate to us is I-29 just across into North Dakota and we rarely go that way. So this is a good tire for is.
If you get a lot of ice, then maybe separate Summer (or all-season) and Winter tires would be better. There was ice in Arkansas, but not enough to warrant special Winter tires - but then we didn't have to be out in it! After folks passed, no more need to be in glare-ice-country, so back here we came. I would imagine places like Ohio and Pennsylvania, New England, and other places would get a lot more of the wet slippery Winter conditions than we do. ...It just depends on your needs.
I've tried the Cooper tires, but they were a harder rubber, so didn't work as well for all-season tires. One of our trucks has a Firestone Destination tire for the spare (apparently from when truck was new! :shock: ) but I really know nothing about them. Have been so aggravated with Goodyear those last few years that I simply don't want to go back - so don't miss out due to my reservations with them. Choose a tire based on YOUR needs. Remember, it's the life of YOUR family that will rely on them!

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
