Hello Gary, I put Michelin Defender LTX tires on my 2015 Tacoma this past summer. I am very happy with these tires, especially in the rain. These tires are magnificent in the rain. I have not driven with them in the snow, and probably won't as my Tacoma is not 4 wheel drive.

Thank you for the information and the review. I was hoping that Discount Tire would give me something for the Falkens in trade, as they only have a few thousand miles on them, but seeing as the Wildpeak AT/3 is now discontinued (at DT), I'm not sure if they will...

It's still a popular tire, I'm sure you'd have no trouble quickly selling them yourself on marketplace.

In my case, my anecdote isn't quite applicable to a 4Runner shopper - A/T Trail is less aggressive than the AT3 and isn't available in the 4Runner's stock fitment. I just mentioned it since it's probably the closest not-quite-an-A/T competitor to the Trail-Terrain that I have experience with (came out in 2019 I think, the T-T in... 2021? Right after I bought the Wildpeaks for the Kia) and treated me well.

I do recommend the Defenders though. (Haven't hit 5,000 miles on them however) I haven't had any complaints and they were fine on dirt, some rock but the usual mud limitations applied. Otherwise it's a painless tire. Does like to hang onto the occasional small pebble though.

If I were to do it over, I'd look at the warehouse club version (if you have a membership): the X LT A/S and get them installed at Discount Tire or your shop of choice. (I'd do it at Costco but the tire center is usually slower and didn't realize I could just buy the tires and take to get the Discount Tire installation perks.)

The Nitto Nomad Grappler is in the same class as the AT Trail and Trail Terrain. It looks like a baby Recon Grappler and is available up to 265/70/17 if I recall correctly.

Hello All! I just joined the 4R team with a new to me ‘18 SR5 Premium. my first order of business is getting new tires for my rig. I plan on getting the Falken Wildpeak A/T tires, and my issue is that i don’t do a lot of off roading, most of my driving will be on pavement. I absolutely LOVE the Wildpeak look, but i am concerned that they will be too loud/ride harsh on the pavement. for those running A/T tires, could you provide some insight as to how they ride on the pavement ? thank you!

At least this thread has the decency not to ask a general "what do you recommend" question, and is specific to the Wildpeak tire. Doesn't mean we won't get 50 different recommendations, though...

Yeah, you'll get some noise. But then again, you'll get noise regardless. The SloRunna' is a noisy fucking truck. I've figured out how to hyper-mile my truck, so my MPG's probably weren't impacted at all. I drive 32miles (one way) to work each day, and I average 20.7 - 22MPG. I'm sure with the stock-street tires, I could have gotten another 1 or 1.5 miles more per gallon. But 20-ish MPG is really impressive when you think about it.

It's a (almost) 5k pound truck, lifted and with almost 12 inches of ground clearance, on big ass (and heavy) off road tires.

P.S. There is one draw back I have noticed: When I reverse and turn to the right, I hear some rubbing. It only occurs when I turn ALL THE WAY to the right, but still....it's rubbing. Just wanted you to know that.

Might be worth taking it to the dealer on the rubbing. Talked to a service tech today that made it sound like if you have a stock-size tire that’s rubbing on your Toyota-approved rims, your warranty might cover a TRD-pro fender trim

I really like my 34" E load A/T4W.

The tires are fairly quiet. Wear is slow and even. Dry pavement traction is great and wet road traction is fantastic.

The weight of these things comes from the thick sidewall. I've aired them down to 11 psi (no bead locks) and never came close to debeading.
If you wheel often, these are tires to consider specifically for that sidewall.

If you don't wheel, and you're more concerned with fuel mileage and performance, you may want to look for lightweight options.
