First snowstorm - Got to test the Falken AT3W in snow......

[Hogan]

they were and continue to be the best all-around tire I've run. Quite, capable, great wear, ride and handle really well. Glad to hear you're happy with them!

Mine seem to be wearing fast, and since they are not siped through the entire tread, the winter traction has diminished somewhat. I think the AT4W is siped the entire tread so that should help alot with the winter grip. As for wear, I am going to the dealer and having a treadwear test done.

I am buying them again, but it will be the at4w this time.

I edited my post above, both the 3W and 4W have full depth sipes.

Y'all have convinced me. The new rig is getting the Method 703 wheels with the -12 offset to carry the Wildpeak A/T4W in an LT315/70/R17. After a lift, of course.

I already ordered the wheels but if anyone thinks this is the stoopedist idea ever, and have good reasons for that thought, I'd love to hear it.

Ran across an interesting site, Tire Pressure Calculator, to calculate what the pressure should be on the new tires, to best match the performance of the stock tires.

I had mine out in the 4runner on a trail with mud and hard pack snow. They did well. Just went slow and stayed off the brakes.

I have the BF Goodrich KO3s and so far, great in rain and dry; and sand, gravel, ledge & rocky terrain aired down to 22PSI. No snow to report yet, but they are 3 peak rated and so were the General Grabbers I just replaced at 42k, they went through anything and I expect nothing less of these.

I've had my A/T4W for not quite a year now, still love them. They did great in the Midwest snow, now that I'm in Oregon I'll get to test them in real snow this winter. No problems with noise, uneven or fast wear, etc. The Duratrac tires I had before these (they came on the wheels I bought) were the absolute worst tires I've ever run. Horrible, uneven wear, very loud, pretty bad in the rain. The A/T4W were a huge upgrade and my experience has been just as good as the A/T3W I ran prior to the Duratrac. I'll definitely be sticking with them in the future.

@RyanD1966 this thread is talking about Wildpeak tires... :)
