Just got the Wildpeaks installed, they are slightly more noisey than the Hankook Dynapro ATM's they are replacing. Not annoying or something I hear over the radio at all. For how aggressive they are I am completely satisfied.

Thank you!
And regarding road noise, if you read the TacomaWorld thread linked above, the feedback about how quiet the tires are is overwhelming.
Now I know there are two different rubber compounds for P and E ratings. I wonder if that has an effect and could be a source for the differing noise reviews? As I mentioned, my P rated tires are as quiet as the highway tire I ran previously (which was very quiet).

I'm running E and was surprised at how quiet they are when I picked it up yesterday.

In the Tacomaworld thread, someone pointed out that the E rated tire doesn't have the 55K mile warranty? Have you heard anything about that?

I see no restrictions on that on their warranty page. Those with LT tires should print a copy (with a date) for their records just in case they change their policy =)

LT are currently covered under the 55k mil warranty.

Discount Tire is also showing 55K mile warranty for E-rated, could be a mistake on TacomaWorld then.
Ratings, reviews and specifications for Falken Wild Peak A/T3W tires
And according to Falken, it looks like all ATW3 tires are covered for 55K miles.

So I ended up doing all the tire clearancing this past weekend.
The front tire rub was occurring in three places:
1.) Mud flaps - This was by far the worst of the rubbing
2.) Front fender liner - I had to move it forward
3.) Lower outside bumper - I had to trim just a little off
I did not expect the mudflaps to be by far causing most of the rubbing. One thing I'm glad I did is not going larger than 265/70/17 because with this size/offset wheel, I only have a few millimeters of clearance between the tire and the control arm when the steering wheel is turned.
All is clearanced and back to normal now.

As a follow-up to this, I checked the tire pressure and noticed that the America Tire only inflated to 32psi. I raised the pressure to 36-37psi, and that wander feeling I described above is gone.

Nice. I'm at 38 on mine and the feel is good.

I'm wondering what mods you needed to get those to fit? That's over a 33" tall tire!

Yeah it's a huge tire and I love it! So I've got 1.25" spacers to clear the stock UCA, a lift with Bilstein 5100's all around with OME 885 in the front and FJ springs in the rear. Moved the fender liner forward, removed the front mudflaps and did some slight chopping of the bumper.

Just got the OME 885's installed yesterday, will try and take some pics today! Hard to say lift amount.. I'd guess 2-3 inches. Will take some measurements later.

Interesting.
From what I understand, the OME 885's will net about 2.5-3.0" of lift. That's comparable to the Daystar 2.5, which netted me just over 3" of front lift.
With the 265/70/17 Falken AT3W tires, I had to do quite a bit of work to get the wheels to clear up front - Cut front bumper, move fender liner 1" forward, and trim the front mudflaps. Granted I have an aggressive -10mm offset on my 17x8.5 wheels, but it's comparable to stock wheels with a 1.25" spacer in terms of where the wheels sits relative to the fender.
Given how close my wheels come to the body, I'm surprised that you didn't have to do the body mount chop with that tall of a tire and only the modest lift.
Eager to see pics when ready

I also installed the 885 springs last week, I'm pretty close to 3", and that's with a steel bumper
I had the 884's on my V8 before the bumper and got about 2.5" or 2.75"
I just got these in 285s, still need to do more trimming
