Wheels look good do you know the offset? Is that stock height and any rubbing at all?

You're so lucky to get the Toyo' s in 20" I have ordered 18" AT3 in January, still on backorder ( 265/70 R18. T)

After watching videos of the V8 in deflated stock 22 tires in the rough, do we really need AT if we're just tackling the urban jungle?

sorry just seeing your question. Wheel warehouse in Anaheim, good dudes. I’ve done the Lucky 8- 1” lift since then and it’s a perfect setup IMO.

Not sure why you are having that issue, most places around me have Toyo Tires readily available...

I wanted AT tires mainly for better snow traction. Plus, because the Toyo AT3s are 3-peak rated, you can go over mountain passes in winter in the PNW without worrying that you'll be required to chain up. It's not as good as a dedicated winter tire, but in the Seattle area, a 3-peak tire on a very capable AWD vehicle works very well year-round.

TBH I'm also happier than I thought I'd be with how the Toyos look on the vehicle. They suit it better than the Good Year Wrangler ATs that came on it. Highway performance day one was stellar. I like how the tire works with the suspension. Road noise might be a tiny bit worse than the Good Years, but that's to be expected with a more rugged tread pattern. It's a new tire and ATs are known for getting increasingly noisy as they get more mileage on them, so I'll definitely report back as they wear.

I have run the Falken At3 here in the Inland Northwest, and years ago the Toyo AT2. I have heard really good things about the Toyo At3,and here in North Idaho,heard that the wranglers were not as effective in the snow, ice, and slush we get a good amount of. Decided to go with the Toyo AT3. I will know pretty quickly if they were the right choice. By the way, I hear no noticeable noise difference with them on.

Does it mean the Dueler AT revo 3 would be sufficient too? It is a quiet AT tire.
