TL;DR
- Six all-terrains from the 42 in our tire library, chosen from aggregated owner reviews and compared on manufacturer-published specs.
- All six carry the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol in at least some sizes; the Goodyear Territory AT has it only on its P-metric and XL sizes.
- Deepest tread: the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, up to 19/32in. The BFGoodrich KO2 is 15/32in on every size.
- Longest warranties: 65,000 miles on passenger sizes of the Toyo Open Country A/T III and Falken A/T4W; on LT sizes the A/T4W leads at 60,000.
- Check your size first: the KO2 is down to 10 US size listings, while General lists 65 size and load-range listings for the Grabber A/TX.

How the Six Were Chosen
The picks are tires that come up most often in owner reviews of daily-driven trucks that also see dirt, and whose makers publish enough spec detail to compare. For the full category, including value options such as Ironman, Milestar and Atturo, browse every all-terrain tire in the library.
The Published Numbers Side by Side
| Tire | 3PMSF | Tread depth | Treadwear warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 | Yes | 15/32" (all 10 listed LT/flotation sizes) | 50,000 mi |
| Falken Wildpeak A/T4W | Yes | 13–19/32" (varies by size) | 65,000 mi (non-LT); 60,000 mi (LT) |
| Toyo Open Country A/T III | Yes | 12.7–17/32" (varies by size) | 65,000 mi (P-metric/Euro-metric) / 50,000 mi (LT & flotation) |
| Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT | Yes | 10–15/32" (varies by size) | None published |
| General Grabber A/TX | Yes | 14–17/32" (varies by size) | Up to 60,000 mi (no separate LT figure published) |
| Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 | Yes | 11–18/32" (varies by size) | Up to 60,000 mi (P-metric/Euro-metric) / 50,000 mi (LT-metric & flotation) |
Tread depth is a range because it changes by size. The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W runs from 13/32in to 19/32in across Falken's size list, while the BFGoodrich KO2 lists 15/32in on every size. The warranty column depends on size too. Toyo's 65,000 miles and Yokohama's 60,000 apply to passenger (P-metric or Euro-metric) sizes and drop to 50,000 miles on LT and flotation sizes. General publishes "up to 60,000." Falken's A/T4W carries 65,000 miles on non-LT sizes and 60,000 on LT sizes, the longest LT coverage in the group. Goodyear publishes no mileage warranty for the Territory AT.
Pick by the Work Your Truck Does
Mostly pavement, weekend dirt roads. Yokohama describes the Geolandar A/T G015 as capable off-road while staying quiet on the highway, and credits its Enduro compound and flatter profile for tread life. General lists low road noise and long-lasting treadwear among the Grabber A/TX's features.
Rocky trails and sharp gravel. BFGoodrich rates the KO2's CoreGard sidewalls 20% tougher than its earlier All-Terrain T/A KO, based on an internal sidewall-splitting test in size LT265/70R17. Owner reviews consistently report strong traction in mud, sand, snow and rock.
Winter-heavy climate plus mixed use. Falken says the Wildpeak A/T4W, which replaces the discontinued A/T3W, has full-depth sipes that keep providing traction for the life of the tire, and it carries the 3PMSF symbol. The Toyo Open Country A/T III is also 3PMSF rated and comes in passenger, LT and flotation sizes, plus a separate Open Country A/T III EV. General says the Grabber A/TX is pinned for winter studs.
Keeping a truck close to stock. Goodyear describes the Wrangler Territory AT as balancing on- and off-road traction with a comfortable ride. It's the only tire here without a published mileage warranty, and its 3PMSF tag covers only the passenger and XL sizes, so an LT-size buyer in a snowy climate should weigh that.
What the 3PMSF Symbol Means
Under the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association's definition (TISB 37), a tire earns the three-peak mountain snowflake by reaching a snow grip index of at least 1.10 against a standard reference tire in the ASTM F1805 test on medium-packed snow. The M+S marking (TISB 10) has no traction test; it only requires tread-edge slots and at least 25% void area. Neither marking rates ice grip.
Check Your Size and Load Before the Tread
A tire is only useful if it's made in your size and load range. General's spec page lists 65 size and load-range listings for the Grabber A/TX across metric, LT-metric and flotation fitments. The BFGoodrich KO2 is down to 10 listings in BFGoodrich's US catalog; the newer KO3 now carries the broad range. Toyo covers passenger, LT and flotation sizes.
For trucks and SUVs, FMVSS 110 requires the tires on each axle to have a combined maximum load rating at least equal to that axle's GAWR. Confirm the size on your door placard, check the axle ratings on the certification label, and decide whether you need LT construction for towing or payload before you compare treads. Federal UTQG treadwear grades cover passenger tires only, so the LT sizes on this list carry no treadwear grade.
What an All-Terrain Can't Do
BFGoodrich describes mud-terrains as the tire for deep mud, sand, loose soil and technical rock, with large blocks and wide voids that all-terrains don't have. A 3PMSF all-terrain also isn't an ice tire. If your trail use is frequent and technical, look at rugged-terrain hybrids or mud-terrain tires. If snow is the main concern, the all-terrain tires for snow list covers 3PMSF-rated models only. If the truck almost never leaves pavement, see the highway-focused list.
