    Glad to hear that they are that quite too. Given how aggressive they look, I would assume its a "quietness" relative to their aggressive appearance but it sounds like they're just quite. Win win!

    Same as above, glad to hear. I wasn't too worried about them not balancing other than the few comments I read to the contrary.

    For comparison, I had the stock Rugged Trails on before and I didn't notice any change in the road noise.

    Mine balanced just fine as well.

    They aren't loud at all(at least early in their life cycle), but while they look reasonably aggressive, the lug spacing isn't what it is on say, a Duratrac, a significantly louder tire tha has larger voiding.

    Honestly I don't notice much road noise at all off these tires. But much better grip, especially wet road, than my general grabbers at2 had.
    I've got LT 285/70/17 and they are amazing. Haven't noticed any odd wear yet. Got my PSI at 35 all around as recommended and they are smooth riding. Need some time to get them off road now, once I get a couple exams out of the way.
    If you're waiting to pull the trigger.. don't. These are great tires.

    My Taco is equipped with 2.7 four cylinder & 5 speed manual. So, the weight of the tire is a concern.

    Question: Has anyone mounted a set of P rated 245/75R/16 inch, Wildpeak A/T3w tires and how do you like them?

    I just mounted mine today. I'm pretty happy with them. 2 of them spun perfectly true, and the other 2 were really close. And, 3 out of 4 road forced pretty low, which I was happy about since 2 of the BFG Rugged Terrains that were on it road forced double the max for a P tire. My set has been the only set of these new tires to go through the shop I work at, but they seem to be just as good as the Nittos, Toyos, and BFGs as far as balancing goes. I got 265/70/18's in standard load.

    Added some 1.25" spacers and I think it makes the tires look even better

    I originally had no rubbing, but once I added the spacers there was some on the little front mudflaps under the fog lights in the picture below (not sure what they are called). I took them off and haven't had any issues since.

    I didn't even think about that. My friend has a sport and runs 265/70R17 KO2s on his stock suspension and he doesn't have any rubbing.
