Not sure I need an AT more so than a Mud and Snow tire. Been using the Michelin M//S up too this point. But would like just a little more traction while off road deer hunting, moving around fields with some good hills involved.
Let's talk tires ( again!)

Well went with a less aggressive tire and basically the stock tire look that’s a little upgraded version.
Discount Tire offered a military discount as well as a $80 discount if ordered online. Time will tell if this is going to be a good fit for me, but according to the reviews it should be.
The right rear had a slow leak to it. It would lose 2-3 psi in a week. Watching the kid struggle to break the bead off the rim I can see why. He needed the shop foreman too step in and get it done. They were both shaking their heads on the amount of effort they needed too do it.

One buddy of mine didn't like them for snow plowing. That was the only negative review I've heard. I'm looking forward to your updates. I think they will treat you well.
For my needs I think they’ll work well. I’m too old to get into the foolish

I have ran those tires for many years, even got 100k out of one set. From what I understand the defender version doesn't last quite as long, but they do great in the snow and the ride is awesome.
I've heard great things in regards to mileage, road noise, comfort in ride. They are rated high for snow but my buddy said they weren't great for plowing. Maybe he is all throttle and no finesse? Remove a heavy plow from the nose of the truck which changes the balance of the truck and maybe they are good in snow? Either way, you should have minimal snow adventures compared to 10 years ago. Worth repeating: I think they'll treat you well. Keep us updated.
It’ll work for the trips to Ohio during deer season and the weather that it brings…
For my 2016 Terrain, I just put Michelin replacements & black rims on. I bought the Defender 2, which is rated for 80k. .The stock Mich's were rated for 50 & I had 60k before noticing a ride difference on them. Not bad for 9 yrs. I always wanted black rims & the originals started having paint peel off, so it was a great excuse to change out.....

I run the Michelin's in the summer as they are smooth and quiet, plus great traction.
But for winters I now am running the Nokian Outpost nAT's they are a great all around aggressive tread tire that isn't too loud. They were reasonably priced and a solid b+ all around mud snow ice tire. I have a couple thousand miles on them so far. I will keep updating their progress over time as well.

These Toyos of mine hold onto gravel like nobodies business. A couple weeks of Kansas & Iowa back roads took a toll on the rock guard paint on my truck. Even with some new mud flaps it’s painful to hear one let go and connect with the paint.
I get it’s a truck but damn, the BFGs didn’t hold onto gravel like this. Worth considering if your travels carry you down gravel roads often
