Caveat: this is a relatively new model and haven't seen any in service for very long yet. The predecessor model was absolutely fantastic, I have confidence this will be as well. |

Just bought Sumitomo Encounter AT tires for winter use for my wk2. Will see if they're as good as the cooper discoverer m+s tires that have worn past their winter usefulness

Toyo Open Country AT3's have done pretty well for me. I've had them on a Chevy 2500, 1500, the wife's T4R and my F-250.

Find around and fuck out.

There's a new KO3 coming this fall

![]() This is what OP seeks. Might also consider the AT3 LT or 4S models. Have the AT3 4S on 1/2 ton, very happy with them. |

Bfg all terrain t/a k02. The gold standard of all terrain tires. They started the category and still own it to this day.

I have had great experience with the Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires that I have ran on different vehicles over the years. They have done great in monsoon rains along with snow and ice.

They don't have the three peak stamp on them but from what I've seen from people that have run these tires over time, they should have it. Plus they just look really nice too. ![]() |

Best AT with snowflake tire I've
ran is the YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER AT G015, I have a set on my FJ cruiser & they handle NY snow/Icy winters without drama. |

Falken Wildpeak A/T3W have been my favorite. This is after several sets of BFG T/A K02 on a 4Runner and Ram 2500.

Small shop mechanic/tire guy who does all my work recommended against them due to a re-formulation of their compound. Said they wouldn't last.

I might end up trading my Ranger XLT FX4 in for a smaller SUV with AWD or 4WD. No matter if I keep the Ranger or get something else, I will most likely stick with the Wildpeak A/T3 tires since I have always had good luck with them.
BFG definitely changed the compound of their KO A/T tires. The last set I bough didn't last as long as previous sets of tires. And that is when I went with the Falken Wildpeak tires. |

Don't know how they compare to other ATs in the snow (lived in the south most of the last 15 years) , but I definitely lost my trucks back end a few times over the last 2 years. I'll be trying a different tire in spring, and see how next winter compares. |

I dropped my truck at the dealer for some AC work about 2 weeks ago. They always check tire wear, the service writer said they were fine but might need to be replaced at my next service. I hadn't thought I had that many miles on them. I need to check the receipt. |

I'll be trying a different tire in spring, and see how next winter compares. View Quote A funny note. When I was stationed in Baumholder Germany, I lived close to the front gate which was a pretty steep hill. I could always tell who was from the Deep South every winter by sound alone. The guys from the Deep South could not make it up the hill without spinning tires the whole way. Guys that grew up driving in snow got up the hill with no problems. Another story. It actually snowed in the Mojave Desert in December of 1995 while I was stationed at Ft Irwin. The CHP had closed the pass due to snow and it was the only way to Barstow and the interstate. The pass had 4 inches of snow on the road. I had to argue with the CHP officer before he would let me go over the pass. I had to point out that I grew up in Missouri and had spent the previous 3 years stationed in Germany. I just traded my 2020 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 in for a 2023 Escape ST Line Select with AWD. I will see how the Bridgestone Ecopia h/l 422 plus tires do this winter and if they don't do well then I will probably go with a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T3 or other high rated A/T tire with the 3 Peak symbol. |

Had wildpeaks on my 4R for a few months now. No complaints with them. Just waiting for snow to test them in.

The KO2s are (were?) good, but they aren't very good in the rain. At all. Pretty bad actually.
