Wow. Went to go look at these.

Extremely limited on sizes. I guess if you are running a non-SAS trim and don't want bigger tires they are an option. Appears they cap out at 33" on a 17" rim.

And they are expensive! almost $400 per tire.

Would have been nice to see Mickey Thompsons in the test.

Yeah I love my Baja Boss ATs.

Just saw a local add for new Vredestien Pinza AT 275-70/18 E for USD 750 equivalent though Id need to buy 5th at full price.....still have DMV2 on other wheels......such a deal

Not sure I have much belief in that video/AI summary. My Falken AT4W’s are quiet (for what they are) on and off pavement, at any speed. They excel in snow, sand, and dirt. They’re solid in mud and clay. On uneven, choppy, rutted terrain, they’re fantastic - I climb out of ruts others get sucked into. In wet terrain, they’re also solid, but not like the AT3W’s were - feels more grippy on wet pavement than General Grabber ATx were. Yes, you can break them loose on wet pavement, but… I’m yet to find an AT tire that I can’t do that with

They are weakest in deep mud pits. They don’t sling enough material to continue grabbing. That is my only complaint with them

35x11.5r17 C-rated just over 40k miles on mine and they’re still going VERY strong. The 65k mile claims are not unrealistic whatsoever IMO

On trails where buddies have gotten flats, I’ve never had any issues, no leaks, no cuts, nothing. Some tread is chewed up from rocks and I’ve pulled some good chunks of metal and glass out of them, but still, no problems

If you’re after more information, OutdoorAuto on YT does an excellent job of reviewing tires

My experience snow wheeling on new AT4s (315/70/R17) was underwhelming and actually frightening. Twice while driving in mostly hard packed snow, somewhat wet, I fishtailed unexpectedly while driving around 30mph. I was able to save myself but slowed down after the second time. Driver behind me on the radio asked “was that intentional?” No it wasn’t.

On the same route on my 33” KO2s in prior years I did not experience this and in fact was doing my best to keep up with the lead Braptor going over 40mph.

On the highway in snow the AT4s are fine. But I don’t feel as confident as in the K02s.

my buddy in his 4Runner also has AT4s and likes them (and he drives more often in highway snow). But his are 33”, not as wide, and have the shallower lug pattern.
