Is the Summit Trail Climber AT02 good for daily driving?

It can handle daily driving, but the aggressive tread is noisier and firmer on pavement than an all-season tire. It makes more sense for drivers who spend regular time off-road.

What does the 117 load index mean?

It means each tire can carry up to 2833 lbs when inflated to the rated pressure. That suits full-size trucks and towing.

What is the T speed rating?

T-rated tires are approved for speeds up to 118 mph. That is fine for trucks and SUVs but below H-rated all-terrain rivals.

How long should this tire last?

It carries a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty and a 620 UTQG treadwear grade. Actual life depends on rotation, alignment and how much you drive off-road.

Does the tread direction matter when rotating?

No. The tread is nondirectional, so tires can be rotated side to side as well as front to back.

Our take on the Summit Trail Climber AT02 Tire 275/55R20 117T

The Summit Trail Climber AT02 is an all-terrain tire for light trucks and Jeeps, sold in the 275/55R20 size with a 117 load index and T speed rating. It pairs an aggressive, nondirectional tread with a robust ply construction aimed at mud, rocks and loose surfaces, and carries a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty. Its 620 UTQG treadwear grade and 2833-lb max load put it in line with mainstream all-terrain rivals rather than above them. It suits drivers who want off-road grip and load capacity without stepping up to a premium all-terrain brand.
