These are General Grabber ATx 285 60 20 on the factory 20" wheels. I had them painted black by a professional shop.

Factory 20" wheels with stock size aftermarket Cooper AT3 4s ....No lift or level.  It's a P rated tire, which rides well, but rated as a heavy duty with a max 50psi rating.

Thanks for posting this. Looks like we have the same truck and wheels. The tires are just on the edge of being ok for me. I have the goodyears. I’d like to swap out for a factory size terra grappler g2 but not sure if it would make enough of a visual difference for me to pull the trigger.

I'm not certain anybody would consider a P (i.e., passenger car) rated tire such as the Cooper Discoverer a more "aggressive" tire.  It's exactly the opposite of an aggressive tire.

It does say please show me you aftermarket tire. Pretty sure the cooper is aftermarket. I do get that it is not more aggressive.

Not more aggressive than what? these are plenty aggressive for driving off-road, in snow, etc. Yet not so obnoxious that they make excess noise or kill your MPGs. For anyone who is more concerned with performance On & Off the road than they are with looks, these tires are perfect.

 

Compare with the crap they put on your truck at the factory.

 

If you are solely looking for the most obscenely large lugs you can find, or you are actually planing to do rock crawling, then look elsewhere.

Get the Nitto’s they will last a long time it’s one of the best in the rain and off road it will actually work. It’s not crazy loud on the road and they come In more sizes the most other brands. It’s down to Nitto and the big brother named Toyo for truck tires that work On and off road.

I'm not certain what tires came as OEM with your truck but I got the DuraTrac's and am thrilled with them.  I've never run anything but BFG AT for the past 25+ years.  I've bought over 24 sets of BFG's over the years and my subjective analysis has always found them to be the best dual purpose tire on the market.  I didn't think I'd like the DuraTrac's but they are an absolutely fantastic tire.  I never thought I'd switch from BFG but for my usage the DuraTrac are a much better tire.  In sloppy, muddy conditions the BFG's ball up as soon as they touch mud.  They also hydroplane with alarming frequency.  The DuraTrac's perform MUCH. MUCH, MUCH better in mud and off roading in general and I'm amazed at how they handle standing water.

 

I think your statement regarding "the crap they put on at the factory" is unfounded specific to the DuraTrac's.  They're a great tire.

You are right. I along with many others were graced with the lovely goodyear SRA's when I bought my off-road capable Z-71. I wouldn't buy those tires for a passenger car, much less for a pickup truck.

 

Duratracs are a completely different ballgame.

How do you like these tires so far? Considering replacing mine with the same.

Kind of hard to follow advice from someone who holds the vanity driven BFG's as the best dual purpose AT tires... You do realize the P part is the rating and not the traction or looks of the tread right? A P rated tire can look the same and perform the same traction as an E rated tires, just not the load hauling part. 

 

BTW, many reviews across many forums and tests don't rate the duratrac highly, especially the durability off road. Most complaints arrange around the lack of tread wear, noise after a ten thousandish miles and the sidewalls being soft and susceptible to cuts off road. Their traction is great, but many other areas are lacking. Most switch to Ridge Grapplers, which seem to the new standard of the hybrid tires (inbetween an AT and MT which is what the Duratrac falls in to as well).

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Z45 · Posted

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
