so just want to let everyone know I ended up with good year ultra terrain , not my first choice but  I think this one will do just fine, my friend have them on his f150 and they are way nice riding tire than my territory MT, I will be getting them installed in about 2 hrs from now , stay tuned for the first impression ...

The Cooper AT3/ AT3 XLT are very quiet. XLT are E tires, so "stiffer" and heavier. 

I don't mind the K02 but think they are overrated/very lite hum. 

Toyo AT3

Wildpeaks 

Continental AT's 

Ultraterrain Goodyears were one I was looking at, but wanted to downsize to an 18" wheel 

Curious your thoughts on them 

 

All have their trade offs. I never cared for the K02s in the rain and they are decent offroad but master of none; But that was for a different application. Toyo's are a more aggressive looking AT, on par with the Wildpeaks there.

Have to agree on the cooper discovery XLT.  Solid AT tire and super quiet.  Not terribly heavy either.

I don't have anything to compare it to but the stock tires that come on my truck with was g/y wrangler territory M/T , the ULTRA TERRAIN are way quieter and ride little softer and smoother but there is still audio coming from them but not bad, to be totally honest I was expecting little better quality from them for that price range 1300 $ , the traction is not great but not terrible , the TERRITORY  was way better in everything but noise and ride quality.... so do I recommend the ultra terrain ..??  I believe there is a better option out there , I hope so there is, if I have to rate those tires I would give it 6.5 out of 10.... my next purchase will be TOYO OPEN COUNTRY , I hope those will not disappoint .

    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations. 
    • You don't want to become predictable now, do you? 😏
    • Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
    • What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
