Ehhh, I take that back. These look a bit different after looking at the photo closer.

No doubt it's the sister tire to the Exo Grappler but it kind of looks like the Exo crossed with a Bridgestone Revo. From the pic looks like it will be available in a 37" tire. Gonna need more trimming for that!

In my experience large sold tread blocks with limited siping are not great on any surface. These feel a lot like a new version of this to me - looks kinda offroad-ish, doesn't perform well on anything:

UGH. I remember those. Unable to balance, rough, and not good on anything. I got even more stupid and tried some boggers after those. I wised up after those.

I tend to think Atturo actually has one of the most promising patterns.

Interesting. First time I've seen those as well. Almost looks like an ST Maxx.

This is a Falcon wildpeak AT

Yep. Looks like a totally different tire and exactly what those wildpeaks need with their shallow siping.
