Probably for the best..... you would look at that blemish everytime you walked in front of the truck

Yep Jon, you would. Besides, you know where to get perfect ones.

Lol, true, but that will take some saving up.

I had the AT3W in 265/75R16. They are quiet, but more importantly, delightfully smooth for such a durable AT tire.

I would still exercise caution on ice, but the Falkens are designed for wet/snow and it really, really shows. Even with the edges of the rear tires not in contact with the ground, I couldn’t break traction on the most slippery of rainy slopes that would cause Duratracs to struggle. They are stiffer than Duratracs though, presumably due to the strong sidewall.

P-rated, of course. LT has a different formulation and undoubtedly rides worse. My experience was also with a motor that barely made more than 200whp/wtq so ymmv.

I agree, even having 4WD I didn't even put it in 4 with the last snow event that switched to rain then ice, backing into my gravel driveway parking space went in with ease and no 4WD.

When my factory Dynapro ATMs wear out, I'll definitely be going with the Falkens on this truck as well. Just a great value in a AT tire.

What kind of winter wonderland is that. Almost looks too good to be real
