Only complaint I have with the Falken tires is their size choices. Really wish they made the AT3W in a 295 but sadly they do not, at least not at this time. I do agree 100% in buying a name brand tire. Falken entered the market in 1983 and has become a very well known and trusted tire. I would not ever personally buy or recommend the off brand ebay tires that no one ever heard of through, just not worth the risk to me.

So did Firestone / Bridgestone back in the day. For that matter, how about the Toyota issues back 10 years ago? Every company on the planet has had issues at some point.

Except Goodyear is still covering it up and denying it all.

Well I got a chance to take the new tires through some good snow and ice. Foot of snow and random spots of ice on some fire roads. They did AMAZING. Best tires I’ve ever had for snow and felt better even than the duratrac’s I had on a Jeep once. Kind of was disappointed I couldn’t break traction as easily as am use to. Usually turn off traction control and am able to have some fun in 1st gear but was noticeably more difficult to break the traction on these in snow. Good problem to have of course. Also drove through more torrential downpours and they are amazing in rain too. Could not be happier with these tires.

Thank you for the update. I might have to pick these up. The Falken atw3 are really hard to find in stock. I still have not been able to decide if I want 255/75/17 or 275/70/17 though. So i guess that will factor in which tire I choose.

Those look great. If the dealer hadn’t put new tires on the used 2017 we just bought I would definitely be looking at these.

Not the best photos but thought I would grab a couple after playing in a foot of new snow. Had these Ultraterrains mounted yesterday and just in time. Went with stock size 265/70/17 on our 2019 TRD Off Road Premium. These are P rated. Got about 25 miles of dry pavement highway in yesterday and then some in-town driving in the snow today. Early impressions are they ride smoother than other A/T tires I’ve had (Duratracs and KO2’s but those were both E rated, and they are quieter. Just a subtle difference from stock tires. Traction is great in the snow. No complaints so far.

Let’s keep the reports coming!
I just found out about these tires and like them a lot.
I was attracted to the regular Wrangler Duratracs but didn’t like the sidewall appearance. These look better.
I also wanted something snowflake rated since I live close to Tahoe and also some snow trails that way, so I was biased towards KO2’s and Wrangler Duratracs, the only snowflake rated all terrains I knew about. Now I found these...
I wish they had 285/70r17 in C-rated, but I might have to just settle for E.
Also not sure if it really means anything but for 285/70r17, the recommended rim width goes as low as 7” instead of 7.5” at least on America Tire’s website. So then I can keep my TRD pro rims......

So far all that seems to be posted to YouTube is “I bought ‘em; I like ‘em.”

Here's my take so far.
- Quieter than duratracs, virtually ZERO noise up to about 60, then theres only the slightest hum.
- Better wet traction than the DTs, and awful KO2s i had.
- Weight is noticeable on braking, they're heaver than the DTs were, but lighter than the KO2s.
- Diameter is about the same as the DT's, less than the KO2s which are a tall tire.
- I could feel a bit of lateral sway in terns since the shop didnt inflate them as much as i prefer, will fix that later.
- I'm supercharged, and the DTs/KO2s would both wanna break traction if im making a right/left at an intersection, not much mind you, but just that little slip. Not as pronounced with these.
Overall I think we have a winner here.
