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?

I have the Cooper AT3's on an AWD full-size truck (grocery getter and mileage accruer) and the tires are smooth, quiet, and perform very well in all the varying conditions I have driven the truck in.

I think I'm gonna try the nittos and hope I don't regret it during winter months

Would you recommend the toyo open country at3?  Or should I get the Falken wildpeak at3?

Zero experience with either so can’t say. Sorry.

Part of me want nitto ridge grappler. Your thoughts? 

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

 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.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
