I have cooper ATPs on my pickup and they've been doing great on gravel so far. unfortunately all AT tires are gunna get eaten up by gravel quicker than normal. I'd recommend the coopers! They look relatively aggressive for not being a mud tire and everyone ive sold them too has liked them!

Gravel is probably the most destructive surfaces one can encounter.

Rather than give you a specific brand...

1: The more rubber you can put on the road the better,
ie: as closed/tight tread pattern as possible.
Street/HiWay treads are the most likely to have this.

2: The harder the rubber the better.
ie: High mileage tires usually have higher "shore hardness",
That 's the density of the rubber.

Now...
When you close the tread pattern, you're going to decrease the tire's ability to discharge water, therefore decreasing it's wet traction/control.
and...
Harder the rubber reduces the dry traction ability, and your stopping distance increases.

The two caveats above, don't present a severe difference in performance, specially to a driver that's aware of the tradeoffs.

If you drive on gravel roads a lot, tire wear will be an issue. you may want to check out tires like Grapplers, Goodyear Wrangler Silentarmor, Duratracs, General Grabber AT 2

I recommend that you get Wrangler DuraTrac Tires.

I would either get Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo or Duratracs. These tires can perform well on a gravel road.
