## Shop LT285/70R18 Tire Size
What kinds of vehicles are rolling on the LT285/70R18 tires? LT285/70R18 is a tire size you’ll find on a few light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and compiled some of the best LT285/70R18 all-terrain and mud-terrain tires. We then used [SimpleScore](https://simpletire.com/simplescore) to determine a numerical value for the categories of traction, handling, and longevity for each tire, as well as an overall average SimpleScore number for each.

## 1. Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 - Best Mud Terrain tire

Any time you have a 4WD-equipped light truck and you like to get off-road into deep, soupy, sticky mud, there’s no other solution that can get the job done better than a set of quality mud-terrain tires like the [Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003](https://simpletire.com/brands/yokohama-tires/geolandar-m-t-g003). The Geolandar M/T G003 is a tire that’s designed to conquer some of the toughest and roughest kinds of mud and terrain, with Yokohama’s GEO-SHIELD construction (triple-polymer tread compound and robust internal design) making it a tire that’s truly durable and damage-resistant. Even though the Geolandar M/T G003 isn’t covered by the factory by tread life mileage warranty (many [mud-terrain tires](https://simpletire.com/categories/mud-terrain-tires) aren’t), we give it a SimpleScore of 8.1 for longevity. On the pavement, cornering and steering performance are surprisingly civilized, and the reinforced sidewall and aggressive tread pattern deliver excellent control off-road, so we give the Geolandar M/T G003 a SimpleScore of 9.4 for handling. Of course, it should surprise nobody that grip and off-road performance are where a tire like this excels. We give the Geolandar M/T G003 a very strong SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction, with its heavy-duty, tough tread compound and mud-terrain tread design with lugs that wrap onto the shoulder for lateral traction.

## 2. Nitto Ridge Grappler - Best All-Terrain tire

Next up we’ve got another great all-terrain tire, the Nitto Ridge Grappler. The [Nitto Ridge Grappler](https://simpletire.com/brands/nitto-tires/ridge-grappler) chalks up SimpleScores of 8.4 for traction, 7.4 for longevity, 8.6 for handling, and an overall average SimpleScore of 8.1. This is a tire that’s equally in its element whether you’re on a grocery run, or in the middle of the rough & tumble off-road adventures you might be planning. The Nitto Ridge Grappler is a heavy-duty tire with an all-terrain tread with reinforced tread blocks, a dense network of sipes, and zigzag lateral grooves. For off-road performance, there’s an aggressive staggered shoulder lug design with alternating grooves, easily ejecting mud and debris from the tread. The casing is protected against damage with stone ejectors incorporated into the base of the tread grooves, and the tread pitch is randomized and computer-tuned to negate certain frequencies and resonances, keeping road noise low. That added rigidity in the tread also ensures that steering response and cornering are direct and accurate, for that great SimpleScore in the handling category. You can also customize your truck’s aesthetics with the Nitto Ridge Grappler – choose from a more traditional sidewall design on one side, or a more eye-catching blocky look on the other. With a 55,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Nitto Ridge Grappler is an excellent value in a hybrid tire that’s designed to deliver a great compromise between an all-terrain and mud-terrain design in terms of durability, traction, and overall performance.

## 3. Falken Wildpeak R/T 01 - Best Rough Terrain tire

We need to include a great rugged-terrain tire in this lineup, and we’re going with the [Falken Wildpeak R/T 01](https://simpletire.com/brands/falken-tires/wildpeak-r-t01). The Wildpeak R/T 01 gets an overall average SimpleScore of 8.7, which breaks down to 9.2 for longevity, 8.6 for handling, and 8.5 for traction. The rugged-terrain category is like an enhanced version of all-terrain tires, with improved durability and traction, but with a tread that’s not as aggressive as that of a mud-terrain tire. With its heavy-duty tread compound and reinforced sidewall, durability is a real strength with this tire and Falken covers it with a 50,000 mile warranty. Its tread pattern includes angled tread blocks at the center with a high void ratio for good self-cleaning of mud and debris, and wraparound lugs at the shoulder that enhance lateral traction for cornering on pavement or for clawing out of deep ruts off-road. It’s a great choice for lifted trucks that need extra ground clearance and is engineered for the weight, power, and torque of today’s pickups, Jeeps, and SUVs.
