I have always had BF Goodrich All Terrains, served me well for the above percentages, I think I got 40k out of the last set on my Hilux

I have BFG KO2s on my Hilux but am going to replace them with Goodyear Duratrac.

A cheaper alternative worth considering is the Kumho KL51

Insa Turbo Ranger's are cheap and cheerful. We run them on our Tiguan and XC90 and they're great in the wet and snow

ive got the MT51s on my pick up. They’re not full on mud tyres like the BFG mud terrains but they’re not far off. Much more aggressive than all terrains.

BF Goodrich A/T do a great job on my truck off-road, and are still reasonably comfy and quite-ish on tarmac.
yokohama geolander at's, great tyre. Used the bfgoodrich but not keen, especially when you compare it to a better tyre thats cheaper by a reasonable amount

Maxxis worm drive..... we run a works l200 on them.... my mate runs his l200 on them and another mate runs his outlander on them...... quieter on the road than bf.... cheaper than bf..... better off road than bf..... and wear better than bf..... my hilux is on bf mud terrains and I've been stuck loads of times on silly wet grass, a bit of mud, and they are also noisy.... wearing unevenly and quickly..... expensive...... and will never go on any other vehicle we run on the estate.
Toyo open country at+ are also a very good tyre... especially for longevity and price....

Let your tyre pressures right down if you need grip. And buy a wee plug in pump from Halfords cos you can’t drive very fast on the tar with soft tyres. A lot cheaper than changing tyres till current are worn out.
A trick I learnt from my Pa who thinks perfectly reasonable to take an olt Toyota Corrola hire car on dirt roads (4x4 only) in the middle of African rain season or Scottish hill tracks in a Renault 5 in winter.
A wee trick that has more than once got me out of muddy fields or through snow more than once.

I should really have remembered this... I do have a compressor in the truck for exactly this reason! I think I was in too much of a hurry to take time to think about it... thereby losing 3 hours!
I was also lazy - I was too used to using the diff lock on the older Hiluxes to bother much with proper technique. Bad time to discover that the 'clever' electronics in the current one just don't cut it! From what I understand, the newest model is going back to having a proper manual diff lock. Absolutely infuriating - you can SEE the blank space on the dashboard where the button for the diff lock SHOULD be...
Not convinced low tyre pressure would have made a difference in that scenario.
It works well in soft situations as it increases contact area and lowers ground pressure.
won't make a bling bit of difference when you want to cut through the greasy, squashed reeds and get to the rock underneath!
big knobbly feckers
that's what you need
if you can hear the radio over the road noise they aren't knobbly enough!

The general consensus re all the Electronic Trickery in 4x4's, new very easy to use off-piste ski's, and I suppose all the shooting aids that the gun trade sell to every new hunter, is that all they do is allow idiots to get themselves into even greater difficulty without actually having to learn any skills. Without electronics the vehicle starts spinning out much earlier giving the driver ample warning to do something about it. With electronics you just carry on in a carefree manner into the middle of nowhere and then get completely stuck.
Take the Hill Descent Control - what's wrong with putting it into bottom gear in low box as we always used to??

Got Cooper AT3 on an L200 and at a guess they are at about 50k miles at least. I have stupidly not rotated then so the back tyres are almost done but the fronts have plenty tread left.
They have been good for me, nice on the road, good in snow and decent off road within reason - however they don’t look as cool as the BFG AT. They are however pretty cheap compared to BFG etc I think we paid £105 / tyre from memory.

Had a set of Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains on my L200 & was actually pretty impressed with them for the money. Fine on road (not too noisy & enough grip) and good in the soft stuff. Might be worth a look at their AT options?
