I've been looking into those Yoko's myself. I'm about 23k miles into a set of 285/70/17 Toyo AT3's and I am SO ready to get them off the truck. I do love the look of a more aggressive A/T tire. I've been driving and modifying Toyota 4x4's for over 25 years. LOTS of sets of BFG A/T's over the years and I love them. But they aren't quiet. Quieter than a set of mud tires sure. On my 5th gen I swapped out the stock dunlops for Grabber ATX's in SL load in the stock size within a week of getting the truck as a CPO with a recent set of dunlops installed. I loved those tires. Just as I had loved the grabber AT2's I had put on one of my tacomas. Sure they were a little louder than stock but handling was good and snow performance was great. Then I lifted it and went 285's with the Toyos after bad balance issues with Falkens and really not loving BFG's on the truck for 3 days. So I went with the new at the time Toyo AT3's. Initially smooth as glass and great road manners. About 3 months in I took the truck on vacation and drove about 8 hours on the highway at 80mph fully loaded. When I got back I noticed some slight cupping. Got it aligned again. It was actually fine. Brand new 5100's and JBA uppers, all new front end bushings... Started rotating them every oil change. They are so badly worn now and so incredibly loud I am done with them. I have had quieter mud tires. And they are almost at the wear bars just a little over a year later. Not to mention they absolutely are horrible in the rain and forget about snow.
