Falken Wildpeak AT3W or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S. Both have the Mountain symbol for severe weather
That has pretty much been my philosophy. I've had my truck for about 2 years and I'm around 21,000 miles on the stock tires. I just keep putting it off to get the most out of the ones I already paid for.Oh I'll still keep my current tires for next summer. I do the off roading and the snowy Mt. Charleston visit in the Fall/winter. So I'll probably buy some extra rims for the new tires. No tires wasted on my end lol
I saw the rebate on the Discount Tire web site.Oooo that's a good point....not being able to find a replacement. Is that rebate only good for if you buy directly from Continental? You're making them sound better and better hehe.
I keep looking at those 2 plus the Nexens Roadian AT...whatever they call it lol. Between the 3 I'll just go with what's cheaper unless it's only like a $5 difference...then I'd might pick the Wildpeaks.Falken Wildpeak AT3W or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S.

Hey guys, just jumping in on this. I too am a 100% Falken Wildpeak AT3W guy. I have loved them in all conditions on my last two trucks and will be getting a set before the first good snow this winter. Not sure about the Pirelli AT plus, but I had the Pirelli Scorpion ATR on my F-150 when I bought it used and they were garbage for anything but dry conditions. Switched to the Wildpeak AT3W and I struggled to slide a tire in wet conditions. Didn't get to test them in snow yet, but hopefully this year I will.I was looking at the Scorpion tires too actually, they're a little pricey but seem decent. Have you checked into the Falken Rubitrek tires? Supposedly they're similar to the Wildpeaks but offer a smoother on-road ride...
I'd bet the TRX will come with the Wrangler AT tires...or maybe BFG's...they won't like the stock street tires I'm sure.there Is another thread (or more) about the wildpeaks. Am not commenting on how good or bad they are (I have them on my truck). What the problem is stock and after market. If you got the ones RAM supplies on new trucks, they are not winter rated, aftermarket tires are. I am very happy with mine, but I have not had the opportunity to play in the snow with them. Or much off-roading either. When the stock tires wear out, I think i will stick with the wildpeak, assuming the TRX doesn’t come first![]()
So I just checked out Toyos website and the open County AT3 looks nice. But then I check discount tires...1. they're slightly over priced. 2. They get terrible ratings. Think I'll pass on the Toyos..Two things:
1) Does anyone know how the Falken Wildpeak A/T compares to the A/T 3?
.
2) Although I've never used them, and I don't know if they have a good A/T for snow performance, but I do know a lot of people like Toyo tires for their overall quality & smoothness. I've heard time and again how consistently round the Toyos are, that they require almost no wheel weights to balance. I'm not advocating Toyos over anything else, just putting that out there because I've heard it so many times, I suspect there might be some truth to it.

After just doing a quick Google search, the AT3W are for wear, winter, and wet rating. They are specifically tested for those factors and certified for those performance standards. As previously mentioned in an earlier post, the Wildpeak AT tires that come on some Rams are not winter rated. Also the AT3W has bigger sipes on the sidewall to provide more protection during off road driving, and rubbing a curb for that matter. I can personally attest they saved my F-150 rims a couple times getting through some tight drive though restaurant lines. Hope that helps....Two things:

Overpriced and terrible for highway use. Great for off roading though lol.I’m surprised no one has mentioned the BFG A/T KO2. They are legitimate snow rated with the snowflake symbol on the tire. I drive in snow/winter conditions for 4-5 months a year here in WA state, and they have never let me down. Also do a bit of off-roading. Will purchase again.
If I were still living in new england I'd buy them for sure. But I looked these up and they don't make them for my tire size. Plus they're more of a heavy all season instead of a true A/T tire. Too bad though...Nokian Rotiiva AT. Best AT tire i have had in the snow
