New tires: Wildpeaks or Grabber ATX
Looking to get some new shoes for my 2020 Venture and can’t decide between these 2. I have a 2020 Venture with the TRD rims and was curious what you all would get and if there’s any pros/cons to either?
Going stock size and the truck is used mostly on the road with occasional off-road (just got back from 4x4 beach in NC a couple days ago) by the way.

If you can get these as I think they are having trouble keeping up with the demand but the newly released (March 2020) Toyo Open Country AT3 look really nice. Made in America too. I will be getting tires during Black Friday, usually there are some really good deals.
One other option that is much cheaper is the Pathfinder AT at Discount Tire. I believe these are made by Kelly Springfield. I'm tempted to buy the Atturo Trail Blade X/T hybrid as they are cheaper too and the reviews aren't bad. Many people on this board do recommend Wildpeaks. I don't know too much about General Grabbers.

I've been happy with my Wildpeaks. Can't give a mileage testimonial though as I don't track that.

I ordered the Toyo AT3s but they were late coming in/lost in shipping, so Discount got me Wildpeaks next-day instead. Of course, the Toyos showed up at the shop right before the Wildpeak install started.... which was actually great, so I could compare them side by side. I'm sure the Toyos are great, but the WPs were noticeable bigger and, IMO, better looking. If you get them in stock size on your Venture's wheels......

I'd honestly probably say go with whatever you like the physical appearance of more (or you can get a better deal on), depending on what is more important to you.
Falkens can be hard to balance and are on the heavy side, but are a pretty good tire if you get a set that isn't out of round (it seems like lately less folks have been having issues with them). I ran them in E-load for about 45K miles on my first 4Runner and was pretty happy with them other than never being able to get them to balance perfectly.
There are a few folks on the board running ATXs and they are generally considered pretty good, but I believe significantly newer to market than the AT3Ws. Both are quite good for snow performance also (not that I'd expect that to be a huge concern in KY).

I had Grabbers on my 2005 Grand Cherokee and really liked them. Enough so that I had two sets of them. I now have the Wildpeaks on my 4Runner and am very happy with them as well. I have had no vibration at all, so maybe I'm one of the lucky ones that good ones? They are also quiet on road and great in the rain. It hasn't snowed here since I got them but I hear they are great in snow too. I guess I'll find out in the next couple of months.
I went with the Wildpeaks because of price and I love the looks of the aggressive side walls. I don't think you can go wrong with either tire really.

Check out the long long Falken AT3W thread on here. I believe depending on your specific size, load range and production run you can get China, Thailand or the US as place of production.
I don't think anyone has comprehensively tried to figure out if some of the "less round" ones floating around were specifically from China or Thailand though. Easy to blame that regardless .

I love my wildpeaks, especially since I commute in the rain they still hug the pavement but I haven’t had any other All terrain tire either

I have had grabbers for about a year, no complaints, no balance issues.

I have General Grabber ATX on my FJ Cruiser and love them. I have had them for almost a year on all kinds of terrain including some snow. Great tire. They are quiet on the highway.
Former tires:
Cooper STT Pros (look cool, suck in snow, loud)
Cooper Discoverer AT/3 (Wasn't happy with the weak sidewalls but overall a good tire)
General has been my favorite to date.
