I just paid 220 for a 3680lb rated trailer tire. Prepare for shock if you haven't looked at tire prices lately.

like traps said, falken wild peaks, was very surprised in snow, ice & mud. clean themselves out well and the noise level is low. putting them on my f-250 next month. hopefully on that truck they will preform the same as the f-150.

Not too far out of line if it was a good tire.

These are good tires, my dad is running them on two of his trucks. I wish I would have bought them for summer tires for my Yota, I bought all terrains for the first time in years this spring. Man I forgot how bad all terrains throw rocks! I live on a gravel road and probably 2/3s of the miles on my rigs is on gravel. Nothing gets great mileage on gravel, and siped tires usually get the worst, all terrains that aren't heavily siped usually get about the same as mud terrains, so I usually run the mud terrains because they have better traction and don't pick up rocks in the tread as bad, not only does that help with throwing rocks but it helps with flats because unlike ATs they don't hold rocks in the tread and try and pound them through the tire. I also always run 10 plys (or Load Range E, if you read the fine print a lot of them aren't 10 ply any more, just "10 ply rated") which helps tremendously with flats. I tend to change tire brands every few years, because they are always coming out with some new brand that is pretty decent and costs half what the established brands do, then their price goes up as they get name recognition and when they get too spendy I switch.

I always run studs in the winter, and the Thunderers don't come drilled for studs, so to me they aren't a true winter tire. I'm currently running them on my 1 ton Dodge which seldom gets driven in the winter and liking them. Last few sets of winter tires I've ran have been Ironman M/Ts, real good traction, studdable and decent mileage out of them. Good mileage on the Toyotas, as good as anything I've ran except for a set of old Bandag retreads I got out of a friends basement and haven't been made for a lot of years, Not so great on the diesel Dodge, but nothing gets good mileage on a 1 ton diesel. They were really cheap, but have been going up in price with each set I buy. I like them well enough I will probably buy another set or two before the price gets up where I decide to try something else.

Funny how it all comes down to price even thou the quality may not be as good as people would get if they paid more. (I rarely give advice but when I do I prefer a Heiniken)

Its rated to 100psi, so it was more than I needed, but all they had. It was 250 after mount balance and tax. A set of e.rated tires were 1350 otd 3 years ago. Spent 1900 on the same set of tires 2 years later.

No way, Jose, the white is going out. I was raised with whtiewall tires, white letters are the 4WD truck version of that.

I'll pay for quality and Made in USA when it comes to almost everything.

For sure, last set was around $200 a tire, looks like this time it'll be north of $250 a tire.

The Falken Wildpeak AT/4s come with road hazard from Falken and a mileage guarantee, 55,000 I think.
Yep they are quiet.

Spouse has run Duratacs for last several years but is going with Yokohama Geolander A/T XD now. So far happy with the new tires.

Well I want good traction and no flats, I'm willing to pay for that, longevity is nice but I'm not paying three times the price for 1/3 more miles, it just doesn't pencil out.
