Falken's website must be down this morning.

Here's some details from an online tire dealer.

I have the stock Dynapro's on my 20" wheels on my 2015 f 150. Just turned 24k and they tires are in bad shape. Definitely need tires by winter. They have been horrible in the snow and hydroplane more than any tire I have ever had. I have also been told that factory tires are different than aftermarket tires. I drive my truck pretty easy. I have my kids with me most of the time. I can't stomach the thought of buying another set of dynapros to replace them. However an interesting thing. I bought the wife a pre-owned 2014 grand cherokee with 14k on it with factory original michelins. Forgot what specific model tire. By 26k they were toast. All my research led me to michellin LTX MS. We put those on last fall and they were unstoppable in the snow. I love them for the jeep. I may put those on the F 150 but was looking for a little more aggressive look for the truck..

I had a pair of the Michelin LTX MS (OE) on my F250. They weren't a bad tire with the exception that they easily chipped on dirt/gravel roads. Got about 35K out of them with heavy hauling and towing about 30% of the time. If you're mostly on pavement they probably are ok.

Interesting comment on OE vs. aftermarket.

Ran 285/75/16 AT3Ws on my taco before I got rid of it. They were definitely the best tire I had run to that point. I was thinking about getting a set on the sport 18s when these go out, but kinda keeping this truck more street.

thanks. what's interesting is all the 20" rubitreks are load range E. the rubitreks are maybe a little more than / about the same as the AT3W but there is no feedback and limited info online. i need to make sure that these tires have mud capabilities / can clean out. going to talk with discount tire today and see what they have to say. a little afraid to be an early adopter.

any experience with mud and the AT3W? based on info in forums and online these seem decent, but would like more input.

nothing other than forest/hunting trails at that point.

For some reason their table is messed up. They do list 275/55/20 (XL) and 275/60/20 (SL) as a P-rated tire.

Looking at the tread pattern, it does not look to me like it would fare any differently in mud than the AT3W.

Had the AT3W installed yesterday. So far I'm happy with them, did notice some small differences on road and big difference on gravel/dirt road compared to the OE Hankooks. I went from a 275/55/20 to a 285/55/20 E.

On road the steering seems slightly less sharp and the first few miles it seemed to be slightly springy / squishy for abrupt steering maneuvers. I can't tell any significant acceleration difference off the line but it seems to require more throttle at lower rpms to maintain speed up hills and a little more taper off (than stock) above 55. Braking seems better. Seen no difference for rural highway MPG (limited data).

The biggest on road improvement is significantly reduced body/frame shudder when hitting pot holes / very rough pavement. Ride also seems a little smoother. I wasn't expecting this result with a heavier tire.

On dirt/gravel road these things are quite good. Gone is the skittishness of the Hankooks. They can handle abrupt turns and the rear end stays much more planted. Don't have any experience in mud yet.
