Needed tire with more bite off road and dirt roads. Not much noise from more aggressive tread. I like the sipes in tire tread and open design which gets mud out.

Features and Benefits
Those who enjoy driving might just be concerned about the various terrains they will encounter. Since all-terrain tires are made to offer traction on and off-road, they are the answer to their problem. Making an informed choice will be made easier if you are aware of the features and benefits of the Kanati Trail Hog.
- Increased all-terrain traction: Bevelled shoulder lugs and sipe pattern provide superior off-road traction and handling. These tires are designed to withstand off-road activity and boast a 10-ply rating throughout, with a 3-ply sidewall designed to withstand punctures and damage under heavy use.
- Winter traction: These tires are Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, which means these tires can handle harsh winter weather conditions. Furthermore, to improve traction in icy and snowy conditions, the tires can be pinned with #16 studs (where permitted).

- Enhanced handling: Rugged shoulder blocks with extra biting edges enhance steering and control. An extra-large contact patch that increases grip, handling, and braking ability by placing more rubber on the road helps the Kanati Trail Hog brake well.
- Added durability: Its three-ply sidewall prevents punctures and damage extending the tread life.

Can't complain one bit! For A/T tires, they're surprising quiet! A lot more quiet than other tires I've had. Haven't had the chance to see how they do in snow, but so far they do great in rain and dry pavement! Haven't taken them off road yet either, but i can imagine them being awesome.
I've ran these previously. If you like aggressive looks, awesome to incredible traction in all conditions, buy these Kanati Trail Hogs. I get about 30,000 miles rotating every 7000 miles, or 30,000 miles without rotating. My 325/60/20 Trail Hogs are twins to a Duratrac, and cost what 1/3 less. These AT are aggressive looking in a 325/60/20 size. I typically run DOT legal offroad MT tires. I get annoyed, but am used to being questioned "aren't those noisy?". I get asked the same about the trail hogs. OMG, all modern mud tires made today aren't anywhere similar to the tires produced in the 70's that howled, whined, etc. I haven't ran a MT tire that is objectionably noisy in the least since the mid 90's. Yes, MT make some noise when compared to a horrible hwy tread that can barely move your vehicle on wet grass, much less a dusting snow, or trap you in a minor mud puddle. MT without siping definitely are a compromise on wet roads, or ice. If all you do is drive a truck and tow a trailer in the summer, a hwy tread is fine for you. All the tires I've ran last roughly 30,000 miles. I drive 3/4 ton Chevy trucks that are lifted with 35"+ tires. I currently have a tuned 2013 Duramax 2500HD Crew Cab. After all my tire testing with MT I find these AT to be one of the best compromise for me in looks, performance, and life. Simple Tire offered great prices, prompt delivery with updated tracking at a reasonable if not the best price on the web. I'll be back for more tires for my other and future vehicles!
These tires are great off-road and do pretty much what ever you ask them to. I never had a problem in anything to extreme as far as winter conditions and these are absolute beasts in the sand even with a heavier truck. They are pretty noisy but that's expected for the voids in the treads and they can be a little difficult to balance.
So far I'm really happy with the Kanati Trailhogs. They do quite well on icy, compacted snowy city roads. They really dig in fresh snow. Regardless of conditions, I'm confident taking section line roads for hunting or reaching a lake for ice fishing. Slight road noise but nothing drastic. Too new to give an assessment on wear.
I have these on my f250 and this past weekend I was driving thru fields with a foot of snow and never had any problems while out hunting or at wet and snowwy boat launches up north.
Handles 6" of snow fine. Not as good as studs on ice, but handles fine. Great tire for the price. Plan on running them year round in Vermont.
Much better tire than the Wrangler DuraTrac that they are replicating. Better traction, and quieter. I will say that they are never size for size than the dirt track so if you want that wide look step up in size (width).
Bought first set of these for my Hummer H-2 about 3 years ago 12.5 17x 37". Instantly noticed the difference in less road noise from the previous owner had stock original BFG's and the ride was good!! So good that when My Hummer H-3 needed new tires I went with these again !! only in a 35" and upgraded to a 17" rim as well! No Regrets here on my Great Purchase from Simple Tire!!
