Quite good in the sloppy stuff too. We'll see how they do when we have feet of snow, but i'm relatively happy with them so far. Just so friggin heavy...

I’m using the Mobil site so I don’t see your sig but my friend with a 10 speed 2.7l STX AND 3.73 gearing is averaging almost 23 mpg with 285/65R20 tires (62lbs)

Impressive for sure, mine's a 3.5, but even still. I'm only around ~16.5mpg mostly hwy at about 80mph.

80mph ? You are not going to see much of a mileage at that speed

Yeah I know, but our speed limit is 120kmh, and i set cruise at 125. (which is 78mph now that I calculate it)

I've tried dropping down to 75mph (speed limit) just to see and I go down 0.1 l/100km (which is like 0.2mpg better)

Nice big snowfall... Quite impressed. They're ****ing hard to balance, heavy, but they're tough tires that wear like iron, and are great on icy (3" of slush frozen solid- aka pure hell aka solid ice) highways, and good in deep snow. Very happy.

EDIT:

Also, I have 12,000km (7500 miles) on them and i'm down exactly 1/32nd. with 3/4 of that in 100+f summer weather. Wearing VERY well!

20,000km on the AT3W's. Fronts measure out to 16/32, rears 15/32nd's. Brand new measured at 17/32nd's. Insanely good wear so far! That's also with probably 5,000km of gravel roads, which usually destroys tires.

After having them:
How’s traction in rain?
What about snow?
They look good
