    I'd like to see an extended test of these on road vs other ATs. I find that I spend hours driving to an off-road destination and on-road performance, esp. noise, is equally important. I have a set of Nokian ATs that are pretty good on road and good off-road as well, they have a similar tread pattern to these Falkens. But, probably not in the budget, it's a comparo that no one seems to do.

I’ll use these for May-Oct for the summer trails and then go back to my current 265 AT3Ws SL on the stock 4Runner wheels for Nov-Apr for the snow, braking/MPG improvement and winter compound performance of those tires.

    It would be awesome if they had 3 peak mountain snow flake rating for my on-road winter needs. For my 4Runner I would not go over Load C (I had bad experience with comfort on Load E tires on my 4Runner). The weight of those RTs are little too much for my 4R. These days I'm checking Toyo OC AT3 SL tires on one of my 4Runners while the other has Falken WP AT3W SL.

    So - if you want to go out and explore Nature's Winter Wonderland, both on-road and off-road, I am still thinking AT3W and/or Nokian Outpost AT?? Same for safety in Winter driving in the PNW; or NWA where I live - areas where it doesn't snow much. I would prefer to have the best Snow rated AT's on the vehicle for those occasional Winter Snowstorms. Or - will these be good to go for 90% on-road driving in an area with only 3-5 noticeable accumulations of snow per Winter?
