Very good, quite ride. Definitely better than the Yokohama Geolandar. So I bought the exact same brand and specs (Grandtrek AT2) last month. The first set would probably have lasted me another year if only I followed a regular and consistent tire rotation sked.
As a sidebar, I just bought last week a new set of Mastercraft Courser LT 285/75/16 for GU Patrol. Got this 33 incher (stock for GU Patrol is only 31") as am planning to get Iron Man + Rancho 9000 combo upgrade this week. So far, the Mastercraft is performing well in terms of ride comfort and handling. Big plus is the aggressive tread pattern, the best I've seen so far among the AT models in the market. Looks like the Mastercraft LT is a new model as reviews are hard to come by on the web. From what the dealer said, the LT model is the newer Courser AT tire model (Mastercraft Courser is made by Cooper USA).
