Any recommendations for AT tires?

I put Yokohama Geolander ATX in my Overtrail and it’s horrible, getting shudder through the car. Have had it back for rebalancing twice, it seems the 10pm side wall is just too stiff for the GX. I’ve had to drop tyre pressures down to low 30psi to get a 1/2 decent ride. Going to have to change them out….not happy
 
Goal is to put AT tires on oem premium plus wheels, without messing with the diameter.

Thanks for suggestions!
I put a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T4W's on my Ram and love them so far. Have about 10k miles on them and they are really quite for an AT tire and carry a 65k milage warranty. That's great for an all terrain. They perform well on dry and wet roads. Not many opportunities to test the snow traction here in south Texas.

if you like the wildpeaks but want something cheaper, the Falken rubitreks get good reviews and save some weight and $$$. Cooper Discoverer Road & Trail also get good reviews for riding smooth with the AT look. I went with Toyo At3's personally, but highly considered the first 2 based on cost and ride quality while being cognizant not to add too much weight.

Damn. And no vibration with the stock tires?
 
People like BFG KO3s, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, with a few opting for the regular consumer Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs. (not the stock tires) Depending on size and manufacturer they may be C rated or E rated. Slightly more aggressive would be Goodyear Duartacs which are not available in as many sizes. All are 3 peak snowflakes.
 
I am an idiot when it comes to tires and wheels. I live in CO and have found myself in snow every month of the year and make my way to 9000+ elevation 20x per year. I currently run winter tires (Michellin x-Ice) Nov - March and all-season tires the rest of the year. I plan to keep the stock rims and put a dedicated winter tire on them, and then get 18" Method wheels (or someone's OT wheels) and run all-season AT tires that are more road-oriented and can handle towing where I will put 2000-3000mi towing 2-3k lb rafting trailer each summer/fall.

I want a set of tires and wheels that will reduce the cost of swapping each season. I also want more sidewalls to improve the ride, and I like the off-road look. I plan on keeping the diameter the same. However, my off-roading is limited to dispersed camping, remote fishing spots, and long fire roads to rafting put-ins.

Is there a big difference between All-Weather tires (which I didn't know existed until today) and 'true' winter tires in terms of traction on ice? Would I be just as happy running all-weather tires year-round and saving the expense and effort of swapping? Would you recommend running all-weather tires over all seasons during summer and shoulder season?

Thx DLM
 
Take a look at Nitto Grappler G3 in 265/70R18 or 275/70R18 SL if you prefer the original ride quality. Both sizes are available in E rating if you want to go that route.
 
Any recommendations for AT tires to put on my Lux + wheels? May eventually swap the wheels out too and add lift but curious on some good options for my factory wheels.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

IMO all weathers have mostly closed the gap in not too deep snow. Good all weathers like cross climate 2 perform similar to a budget winter tire but there’s still a big gap on ice between premium winters and all weather tires.
 
I put Bridgestone AT Ascents 275-50r-22 on my Lux+. Ride feels smoother than the OEM tires. Got tires at Discount Tire vice Costco because Costco will got go down in speed rating as our OEM tires are V speed rated.

Awesome and thanks for the reply! Would love to see a picture from the side if you have time. No rush and no worries either way.
