265/70 R17 Tires

an excellent all around tire, great in slush and snow, better on ice than other all weather tires I've driven on. Winter driving on these feels more like a winter tire than an all season, better than some winter tires I've driven with, gives a lot of confidence. Low noise and very comfortable. no changes so far as they have worn, used about 1/4 to 1/3 of the tread so far. Tire feed back through the steering is a bit mushy, but they are on a half ton truck so its more about the comfort than sportiness.

These have been great on my wife's 2018 4runner. We bought them in 2020 and they are still going strong here in 2026. I was expecting about 55-65k miles out of them but we are over 65k now and they still have all the siping and good tread depth. The tire or getting "old" not worn out.
I will be looking for something better in the rain and ice. These are too slippery, 4 wheel drive is a must on anything like ice or fresh rain.
I will be looking at the G3s because they say they are much better in the wet and ice but I am not convinced yet.

These were used on a 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road in the Denver Colorado region.
These were used for ~10 short easy to moderate offroad trips consisting of trails with sand and rocks.
These were used on about 15k miles of long road trips, the rest was commuting and short trips.

My priorities for these tars were confidence on ice, wet ice, wet pavement, snow, and gravel.
These replaced the OEM tires, which I believe were Bridgestone Duelers.

I hated the OEM tires in any cold and wet weather. I did not have confidence stopping in wet conditions.

These have been terrific. First, they have worn better and more evenly than most tires I've owned in my life. It is very satisfying that both front and tires have worn almost equally across the full breadth of tread and for the life of the tires.

Snow and wet traction was the reason I bought these and for AT tires, I have been very happy. They are not perfect, but I always felt I had great control and feedback. For me, it isn't only that tires have good traction, but also that I have good feedback when they are losing or at the edge of traction and I always felt confident and in control with these tires. I could always feel slip before a loss of traction in both wet and dry conditions.

I don't drive enough different vehicles to comment on gas mileage or noise in a comparative sense, but my mileage on the 4runner has been dead on manufacturer estimates. Road noise is noticeable at highway speeds

I'm not a frequent offroader, but I have taken these on mild trails many times, and moderate trails a few times. On one moderate trail, the tires were abused on sharp rocks and steep inclines. They took a fair amount of damage to the lugs. Still, they went another 10k miles with no issues.

Now that these are at the end of their usable life, traction is noticeably diminished, with about 1/16" tread in the middle of the tires this is expected, but it is still surprisingly decent except in snow.

I think tire technology has improved and I'm considering Nokian Outpost nATs as replacements, but if I had to buy these again, I would have no regrets. I'm very satisfied with them.

I've had them all... KO, KO2, KO3, Michelin AT2, Yokohama GO15 (terrible), and more...

The Toyo and the BFG is neck and neck for performance on dirt/snow/dry.
The Toyo is better than the KO3 at hydroplane resistance when you hit one tire in a deep puddle. It tracks much straighter and gives better confidence.
The Toyo is slightly quieter than the KO2, slightly louder than the KO3 (splitting hairs here).
The Toyo wears through its more useful rubber and siping at about 40k miles on both my GX470 (P265/70/17) and my Tacoma (LT285/70/17). There is no real benefit in mileage on a light truck/suv between standard load and LT sizing... it's just warranty numbers because the LT tire is rated for big trucks that might tow...
The BFG looks way cooler due to it's sidewall lugs
The Toyo is SLIGHTLY better on ice, although the BFG stops slightly better on packed snow.
IF you're in the rockies with a dry climate and lots of packed snow driving... either option suits well...
IF you live in a desert climate... I think the BFG for sure.

Tires are a good all around tire with good highway manners... they unfortunately did not wear well for me and I warrantied them out at about 35k miles because two of the tires had steel belt separations at the shoulder and tread... This was on my daily driven GX470 with little off-road use (only a couple camping trips with rocky 4x4 roads). Due to the faster wear and warranty issue I would not buy them again even for a road queen.

These tires are fantastic. I'm very impressed with how good these are in the snow. It's not a studded winter tire but it's pretty close, I can't imagine it gets better than this for a full year capable tire. On road handling in the dry and wet is good for an A/T, obviously not as good as a street oriented tire would be. Off road I have no complaints, but I don't do anything harder than a 4/10 on the OnX scale. They handle rough roads and potholes very well.

Fuel mileage hit has been about -1 mpg from the OEM tires. These tires are quite loud and droney especially around ~50mph

These tires have seen 2 Michigan winters so far. In deep snow on rural roads grip is exceptional. On unplowed roads while having fun in 2wd there was a lot of grip and never once felt like my truck was coming out from under me. On mixed roads with ice and snow there were no complaints to be had either. On completely slick ice after an ice storm and rain mix the tires were able to still provide traction at low speeds with some activation of abs on breaking and some slippage on acceleration. Compared to other winter tires these are exceptional in all types of snow with better slush performance than a pair of viking contact 7s I had on a previous vehicle. Ice traction may not be as good as other studless winter tires however I do not have a baseline on what a winter tire should feel like on completely slick ice.

I bought the new a/t4w based of how the older a/t3w was reviewed of how it performed in the snow. I wanted an all terrain tire that lasted long and did well for many types of driving conditions. The a/t4w's do well in dry road and off conditions. Their wet road performance is acceptable. they are quite and comfortable on the road as well. The snow and ice performance is where they lack a lot. For a 3 peak mountain snow rated tire, and the previous models ratings I was very disappointed in these tires. Falken advertises these tires as being engineered for severe winter conditions. They really missed the mark on that. If you live in a dry warm climate, these tires would do well. If you have all the seasons and expect them to do well on snowy slippery roads I would look else where. Unfortunately I will be replacing these tires due to poor snow and ice performance after only 15,000 miles,

Terrible! These came on a certified preowned 4Runner that had less than 50k km when purchased. They are passable on dry pavement but dangerous on light snow (even with 4wd engaged).

I use these on my Ram 1500 as my summer/fall tire. I drive the vehicle hard and they handle very well in both wet and dry. They are not a great mud tire which is obvious. On the highway, they are quiet, and I get good fuel economy. They are great on the highway in the wet. I never have issues with traction unless I am looking to kick out the rear end. They are great in the wet compared to other tires I have had. I drove them once in the snow/ice and they were alright (I use studded winter tires). I drove for the conditions, and didn't notice feeling unsettled. Overall, I would recommend them and have been happy with Kumho with other vehicles as well. I also have the less powerful 4.7L engine.

After a long research and deliberation, I purchased these tires at Costco. The runner-ups were Falken Wildpeak AT4W and BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A. My old tire was Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus.

My interest was good handling on bitumen, yet good grip on unsealed roads. I wanted a quiet and soft ride. These tires seemed to have combined it best. I like their understated sidewall appearance. The ride was soft and pliable.

The reviewer Ozeman has reviewed these A/T002 tires (and other in the list). He said the tires had a low grip in the mid-corner. I might have felt something of the kind, but it would be hard to tell from the other tires.

I forewent the Falken tires because I thought they would be worse handling on the bitumen because of the chunkier lugs and a smaller lugs-to-void ratio. I forewent the BF Goodrich tires because every reviewer gave low marks for its wet grip and for dry handling. The BF Goodrich tire apparently was very good for driving in snow which was useless to me as I lived in Australia. Conversely, the reviewers knocked the marks off the Bridgestone tire because it had a low snow grip... which, again, was not an issue for me.

This tire is made in Europe, India, Thailand, Indonesia. I got the Indonesian-made one. It was manufactured two weeks before I bought them. In theory, they should be the same. In my practice, generally, there are differences. I observed lots of vent spews -- I wish the build quality was better. The side wall of my tire was smooth. The markings and sicoloration was easily noticeable on the tire wall, compared with the tirewall of, say D697 which had a corrugated surface.

I hope the tires would serve me even longer than the Pirelli tires did (a set of 5 of the latter lasted me 70k km). By the way, I felt the Pirelli tires was a good choice for me. They handled well on bitumen (which seems to be a special feature of the Pirelli tires), they had a good grip straight to the end of their life. And they performed reasonably well off-road -- like any other mild A/T tire would.

In conclusion; I want to believe that the tires from the first-tier brand would keep its quality throughout the whole life. I am somewhat disappointed by the appearance of the lower build quality. Also, a bit of disappointment is the plain-looking sidewall (I hoped for something better). I chose to mount the tire with the white letters inside, because I did not want the hassle of constantly caring for the appearance of the white lettering which would fade eventually, anyway.

I suspect the tires are still in the "break-in" period, and may get firmer after a few hundred kilometres more.

The best winter rated tires I have ever used on a truck. This replaced a Goodyear Studded first Gen Duratrac, which was a replacement for the Goodyear Adventure AT. Both of those tires but the duratracs in particular had noticeable squirm and handling challenges under the weight of a 3rd Gen Ram 2500 diesel. Granted those trucks are not known for the tightest of steering but those tires exaggerated the issue with soft sidewalls resulting in a constant question of if the truck was sliding or not in winter conditions. The sidewall stiffness moving to the Toyo WLT1 made a noticeable difference in handling. Ice traction was a noticeable improvement over either of the previous tires. Packed snow is close between the Duratrac with studs and the WLT1. In slush the Duratrac takes the lead slightly, and on Dry cold pavement I found the WLT1 to provide better manners than either of the Goodyear options with the Adventure being second and the Duratrac being a distant third.
Overall, the Toyo seems to blend the best of each of the two previous tires only giving up a little to the more mud focused Duratrac in slushy or brown sugar like loose snow that won’t pack.

This is with about 15k km driven on the Toyo’s and a combined 100k on the Goodyears with the Duratrac having been the primary winter tire after poor experiences with the AT Adventure which felt far more like a summer AT tire that passed but barely to get the mountain snowflake and definitely was not tested or design to perform in the -15c averages let alone the -40c/f extremes that are not uncommon in Alberta. They were driven on a mixture of urban centre roads, highway, gravel roads and fields all of which included pre/post snow dry clear, rainy wet, plowed, unplowed and freezing rain at various times.
