Nice! I am getting the AT3W's as well but in a 275/65/20 and should have them on tomorrow or Friday....pending they don't have any delays in getting the tires. They had to get them directly from Falken as no one had them around here. Still a very good price though and I hope I don't regret going 275 vs 295 (in another tire).
Those are exact tires (on stock FX4 rims) I am contemplating for next month. If you don't mind I would be very interested in knowing how you like them (specifically that size) and if you had any issues or your experiences with MPG, speedometer etc.

Not a problem...I'm getting them put on at 8am tomorrow morning. I'll take pics and drive around for a bit and let you know my impressions. I'm sure my MPG will go down slightly as they are 2" taller than the stock Pirellis. As far as the speedometer goes, once I get home I am going to change my tune to correct for the tire size. I have a SCT X4 with MPT tunes.

These look fantastic and were exactly what I was hoping for (looks wise). Yes, they are a little narrow but they look very aggressive and fill up the wheel wells just enough. No rubbing, no trimming and I can't tell if any noise at all but my Borla exhaust and CAI could be masking any minimal noise that there is. The truck drives more like a truck now. It's hard to explain but it feels more sturdy. It could be just from the added weight, ~20lbs each over stock. I have only driven about 5 miles so any other factor is too early for me to tell. I think you can tell the extra weight is there but I haven't really tried to find out yet. Overall, LOVE them. First 2 pics are stock Pirellis.
