Edit: Looks like the AT4s are a completely different tire and much heavier.

I've been running the AT3W for the past two years and 10k miles. Really liked them when they were new, but after 20k miles they're noticeably louder, and the wet/snow grip isn't as good, but still acceptable. After 20k miles, they still look brand new and have 13/32" tread remaining. Very happy with the road manners, gravel, dirt, and mud performance.

I know the AT4 has a completely new compound, and I recall @PaulLR didn't like them, and claimed they were quite loud.

The AT3s have fantastic reviews. Too bad they are being phased out completely. Not sure if I’ll be able to find the exact spec I need. I saw the AT3WA is available still. Would you mind posting your exact tire spec. It looks like there’s a few different AT3s in the 275/55R20 size.

Default 275/65 R18 success with BFG KM3s

After 50k miles, my General Grabber X3s are toast. Worn out and chunked up from many miles offroad. I tried to get the same tires as I have been happy with then, but General is no longer making them.

I went with 275/65 r18 BFG KM3s on stock steelies on my P300. I was happy with the KM2s on my P38 Range Rover and wore those down to nothing. So far, they seem to clear on access mode butnI haven't tested them on full articulation yet. A bit of rub at full stuff, I can live with.

I'm headed to the Continental Divide Trail next month for a week of trails where they will be tested.
