Jayme- I cant make it tonight but check out some of the Cooper tires- they have some aggressive tread that are soft enough to crawl rocks but don't chase coyotes across short stubble or they are soft enough to puncture.
Don't ask me how I know this. What ply? I wish I could remember- I have been down in Texas so long I can run take off Bridgestone tires made for the pearl colored SUV Karen with the bob hair cut who wants to speak to your manager drives. I have rocks and almost no mud. In sugar sand thread pattern doesn't matter it is all about momentum.

They looked like old school ATV tires with square nobs sticking out of all the huge voids and they would hum a Waylon tune every time you got out on the black top and exceeded about 30mph

Yeah the cooper at3s I've got one are on trapping season #3 and hoping to get this winter out of them yet before I change them next year. I left them on year round and they do pick up rocks like crazy. Im considering Falken next round. Nlt technically mids but I need something year round with mix of pavement and snow/mud/gravel. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Don't ask me how I know this. Coopers AT3 I had lasted about a year. I had about a dozen flats. Lots of sharp gravel and like you said corn stubble. lol Cooper tire's haven't been standing up here, Goodyear aka bad day I'll sell them to you if you insist but don't whine when they bust or hump up on you. You knock a chunk out of a side wall on a hankook just a few years old when breaking the bead on them. Every tire has their problems these are what we see most often in the tires that come in.

I agree Okie- the Coopers I ran never let me get stuck but if I had entered one of the mud a thons the chunks of mud I threw were big enough to cave in pick up cabs or start mud slides out in Cali. But I never worried about getting stuck from lack of traction

I just put the dirt commanders on a couple months ago. So far I haven't had any problems, they do make some noise but they seem to be doing great no flats and I drive down alot of dirt roads and the county drags all the trash out of the ditches when they grade. I pulled a guy out of a mud hole friday he was stuck pretty good at the river. I never spun a tire so i was impressed with them there. Those are the ones I've been leaning towards.

I just put on a set of Iron Man tires after running thunderers. World's of difference in the ride and less noise. But aggressive and the guys I know who have them say they wear like steel. We shall see. I heard that about the Kendas, and it was total BS on my truck anyway. The Ironman Tires look pretty good but about $25 ea more than I wanted to spend, but I'll look into them to see, it may very well be worth it. I have been running the dirt commanders on my chevy for a few years. Just put a new set on the back, but will wait on fronts as they are still fair. They seem to hold up good against eastern KS abuse if that helps ya. I cut wood out of that truck and trap out of it when it is to muddy for the 2X yota (most of the time the last couple seasons). Come to think about it them tires got a lot of highway use as well. Made several trips to Wy and a few conventions on them tires, you can really hear them hummmmmm on the pavement. Thanks bud. These will go a Crew Cab F150, hopefully get similar results if I decide to go with them.

Jim I’ve had Falkens on my Toyota for about a year now. They’ve been great tires in snow, mud and wet grass. I mostly use it as a hunt/trap/pasture truck but they ride nice on the highway as well.
