Bridgestone Dueler AT 693 265/55 R20 Toyota Landcruiser 19,000 miles April 27, 2025
I drove my 2022 Land Cruiser 300 for 30,000 KM, noticeable wear in the front tire, with alot of shaking and bad alignment ( Alignment & balance was fine ) the problem was with the front tires wear from the outside caused the car to shake and not stable. Anyways those tires are All-Terrain so we are not expecting a comfortable ride.

Falken Wildpeak WP AT01 265/55 R20 Jeep Grand Cherokee 12,000 miles January 10, 2024
Tires have no issue in sub zero C temps, dry road, but issues start when there is mushy snow, it's like summer tires. If you'd be choosing them for winter - skip and get better performing ones. If your winter is dry, then these are ok. Wear is good. These came on grand cherokee wl 4x4 2021, but i started to doubt if these were suitable for winter use at all, when entered snow. They are quiet for their rugged protector. No trail driving was done on them.

Crap , it's like driving with wooden wheels. These tires came on my used Jeep grand cherokee and in my opinion the rubber compound is way to firm , you could run over a match stick in the road and feel it. Going to replace with Nexen rodian tires soon.
