As this is my frst Jeep, I have the option of choosing All Terrian tires or All Season on my JT. What are the pros and cons of each for all year driving?

If you do mostly highway and street driving, all season would be a better choice, like what comes on the Overland. If you plan to go off road, or have to deal with snow and mud, all terrain would be a better choice. There is more highway noise with all terrain tires, but less traction in adverse conditions with all season tires.

I'll be mostly on the street with the occasional off-roading.

We got the standard tires on our Overland. They look like car tires. We also got the premium soft top. This makes our Jeep the quietest one we have ever been in. Having grown up on a farm and other activities as an adult, maybe, I know off roading is more about the driver than the equipment. The tires will go anywhere we NEED to go, and some places we shouldn't go.

I have had both on various 4WD/AWD vehicles.

If you get real snow, all seasons suck. If you're going to do even light trails, all seasons suck.

All terrains are decent in the snow, but tend to not clear themselves very well.
All terrains are decent on trails, but mud will clog them.

I went with an RT on the gladiator. Between all terrain and mud terrain. about the same noise as an AT. Not as aggressive as a mud terrain, but closer to it than AT's.

I went with all season on my Overland build, as for the first three years it will mostly be a daily driver, with occasional light off-road adventures.

After that, God willing, I will retire and the original tires should need replacing, at which time I will get all terrain. Some are quieter than others.

Go ATs and don't ever look back! They aren't that loud and look way better then all seasons. If you go with all seasons good luck selling them if later you decide to upgrade. If you don't like the ATs and want to go all seasons then you will be able to sell them much easier used. My 2 cents

I had no idea about RTs. I think it's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for making me look them up!

Sport S comes with all season, but max tow upgrades them to all terrain. I feel that those AT's are the minimum I would want in snow or on a trail. They are quiet and the tread pattern is relatively mild. They only weigh about 34 lb in stock size, 245-75-17 SL. For snow and rougher trails I prefer the Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 235-80-17 E that weigh 49 lb and are .25" taller diameter.

The Con is the All Seasons look like crap on my Overland (damn COVID-my A/T purchase is on hold). If you want a good compromise between a good look and good road manners, I loved the Continental Terrain Contact A/Ts that I had on my 2017 Canyon All Terrain. Great traction, handling, and I never heard any tire noise. I ran Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos 2s in the past and loved them (same result), but they have the Revo 3 out now and I don't have any personal experience with them. I will be installing the Revo 3s on my Gladiator and will report once I have some miles on them. They are super light and have great reviews. Both the aforementioned Continental and Bridgestone have aggressive looking sidewalls and look good installed.
