Default 315X75R16E tire choice

315X75R16E (35X12.50R16) ATZ P3 - MICKEY THOMPSON TIRES vs Nitto Grapper. any thoughts which is better. I drive mostly on the road with some sand driving and some rare snow driving.
thanks

For this area, the atz or the terra grappler would both be good choices. I'd focus more on the wet traction. For the wet, I've not had issues with Mickey's grabbing. They're also going to be nice and quiet despite our constant road construction.

If you elect to go with the nittos, it'll be tempting to do the trail over the terra's but for the highway, the terra is a better choice. I think it goes without saying that the mud variety is completely out. You'd hate your life and those would be tough on the entire suspension around this area.

I've had a few sets of Mickey Thompsons and honestly think it's the best traction I've ever had in a tire. In a lot of terrains sand snow mud dirt rocks. I really like Mickey thompson.
