I was told to buy the nittos but up in Manitoba, I just Didn’t trust them for the long & brutal winters we have up here. 
Our roads and highways are in terrible shape. We have potholes big enough to take up residence in, and our snow clearing is not always done right off the hop. I needed something that I could feel safe with in the winter. I’ve had previous experience with the At2 and I liked them. My husband had Nitto trail grapplers that were not a great endorsement. They cupped and wore out rather quickly. 
 

the Toyo At3 were i stalled on our tail end of winter and I got to test them in a few blizzards and decent snow dumps and with the icy spring thaw/freeze and I was really impressed. Traction was quite shocking at how good they actually hooked on acceleration and did not slide in braking. We have a couple of intersections here they get pretty polished by yahoos ripping out of the local Canadian tire, and it’s a sheet of ice around that corner.

 

my truck came with the duratracs and the low speed him drove me bonkers and they were useless in icy conditions. 
 

the Toyos are not as aggressive looking as I would like, but I need tires that handle well in all conditions and these fit my needs best. And I went down in rim size and up on rubber to compensate best I could looks wise. I took a stab in dark and got the 285/70/17 and no rubbing, pretty sure the 305 would require trimming and/or cutting as it is close at full turn. 
 

No one here seems to run the wildpeaks but maybe its a location/availability deal???

Great review    if you had access to wildpeak at3 would you get them or still stick with at3?   Are the wildpeak more aggressive look then the at3?

So your recommendations on Falken wildpeak or toyo open country at3?   The Falken more aggressive or you think the toyo is?

If you ever drive in snow or mud I would steer clear.  If you’re on dry road they are fine and look cool.

Yeah I drive in snow and ice roads if we get a storm.   I'm from PA. But snow I mean roads are plowed  I'm not driving into snow banks or through snow piles. I never drive in mud

If you look at the tread on the tires you’ll see the ridge grapplers have far less siping. It causes them to not have the same traction in snowy conditions as the at/ko or duratrak.

I cant say which looks mote aggressive as I have not seen wildpeaks in person. But hopefully pictures come through of my Toyo At3 mounted. Not very aggressive looking but the tradeoff of handling/ noise elimination justified for myself

Is that the most aggressive side out?

 Toyo Open Country AT3 and Nitto Ridge Grappler are the best choices for car dealers and buyers. Toyo Open Country AT3 has made it well-balanced with its chunks-and-cracks-resistant components. Most distinctly, its symmetrical pattern, as well as its voids, are all evenly distributed. The dynamic hybrid pattern of Ridge Grappler makes it to be so easy and quiet for on-road trips. These tires have good traction due to their tread featuring zig-zag patterns, a unique feature of Ridge Grappler.
