    i know i'm late to the party, but ATPs were the best wet weather tire I've had on any truck/ SUV (slightly more aggressive older brother to the AT3). i'd have gotten a 2nd set for my 4Runner had they been available in 275.

    I've got Falken AT3w's and I love them. they're quiet and they perform great in the rain and even off road. By no means are they a mud tire, they'll pack up if it's really sticky but I've had them a couple months now and I love them.

    It does sound beefy! I wanna do a magnaflow one of these days! How much the headers run you? Were they a bitch to put on?

    I have the Cooper at3 now and I have been very happy with them so far...my nitto terra grapplers were horrible in the rain. The coopers outperform them in wet conditions in my own experience.

    I have the Grabber AT2s now and they are great in the wet. Haven't done much off road with them yet, but I'm fairly happy. I got them second hand with about 60% of their tread left, and they were never rotated and over inflated, so.. they have a little noise to them from the uneven tread wear. Now that I am taking care of them, they are starting to wear more evenly.

    I’m on my first set of aggressive tires, so I don’t have much to compare with, but my Cooper ST Maxx do pretty well on wet roads. Not as well as my all-season tires did, but still pretty good. I had a set of Geolanders before which were semi-aggressive and those were ridiculously bad.
