I dont have them but after an extensive research and going back and forth .....I decided to go with them....I am planning on buying them in a few weeks.
A couple of guys here are running them...they are very satisfied.

After much debate I chose the Hankooks over the Nittos. Only had them a week but I love them. I have a write up, you can click the link in my sig to go to it.
After spending a lot of time doing research I came up with these as my #1 pick. I was shocked when I stopped by my local tire shop to see if there was any way they could order them for me - which is in a tiny town of 500 people, and located in the back of a feed store. They had four sets of these tires in stock in my size! Seems that this is the standard tire for backcountry roads in the sticks of Arkansas where I live. I've already put a couple thousand miles on my first set in the past two weeks and love them.
One thing I noticed (and one reason why I picked them) - small rocks/gravel do not stick in the tread like most other tires I've used (Hankook claims a special tread design - rock ejectors - that help prevent this - and they WORK!). I've had issues with this for many years - those little rocks can eventually work their way through the tread and cause slow leaks that have driven me nuts (sometimes DOZENS of flats a year due to them).
Besides many miles on rough dirt roads, and some serious four-wheeling, I've driven lots of interstate miles at high speed with no issues - and I got the LT versions. I'll buy them again, and again...

where did you find them?
I bought these recently and must say that these tires are amazing. I spent $700 on the 265 65 R18 (which is cheap for this size). I previously had Nitto Terra Grappers (which were great also).
The ride comfort is amazing. No noise and made my 4runner ride like a lexus. so far both dry and rain conditions performed wonderfully. Better than the nittos going straight, cornering is about the same. Dont' plan on off roading, but based off of the reviews I read, it will perform fine.
The big test will be winter. I really liked my nittos, but the tread design on the ATM10's look similar (but with more siping on the Hankooks).
I wouldn't hesitate to get these again.

Good to hear! I was very tempted to getting the Nitto's, only reason I didn't was they don't make a 255/75/17. In hindsight, still very happy with my choice, but time will tell, still need to get in some mud/snow.
How are your tires holding up after a year? Is your 4runner stock and do you have any rubbing?

I don't drive a whole lot per year, but I've added another 10,000 miles since that post and they are holding up very well. Nice even wear and still a fan of them.
Mine is stock, and there is very slight rubbing at full turn with the suspension compressed.
