Good god I remember those garbage tires. Rattle your teeth out.

As far as the new Nittos, I think they're going after the success of the DuraTracs. Not quite all-terrain not quite mud.

I agree they are going for that inbetween market. I'm just not sure this tread pattern is a good one. If you're not going to have big voids, make a lot of small ones. Not that a groover couldn't make them a whole lot better.

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

Since I've already derailed this thread.... it's pretty amazing what an AT can be turned into with a little - or a lot of grooving.
This is a Falcon wildpeak AT

Four Wheeler came out with an initial review.
I'm curious to see the weight on the 285/70/17 in C ply.

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!

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.

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

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

I like in the coming soon part there is TWO 285/75x17 tires available. When it comes time to replace the Trail Grapplers these will be going on.

I agree that it looks very similar to the Cooper S/T MAXX - a tire I've been impressed with after 25k.

Have you actually seen any for sale? I was hoping they would be out in time for the discount tire sale that ends today, but they are not listed. I have not even seen an advertised price anywhere.

I purchased a set in 285/70/17 and will have them installed Friday. I'll post pics when it's done.

You can have Discount order them. I purchased mine on 7/2 and they will be here on 7/6. Bought them in time for the $75 gift card.
