Falken Wildpeak/Rocky Mountain ATS
Anybody know much about these tires??? They look legit if you do a lot of highway driving and wheel pretty hard. Even supposed to be pretty decent in mud.

Just wanted to get some real world feedback on these, they really piqued my interest. I was dead set on some Yokohama Geolandars until I read some sick reviews on these bad boys.

I'm of course a little biased... and believe you should do your research and find the tire that works best for your needs, but the new Wildpeak A/T and Rocky Mountain ATS tires have been performing extremely well.
Check out the short video from the 2010 JK Experience... we had 7 out of 18 rigs running our tires. ZERO failures and solid performance!

I've got Toyo muds right now and i really don't want an A/T but these seem like the best of both worlds and i do a good bit of highway driving.

I just got a set of these the other day, only have a couple hundred miles on them. Haven't been off road with them yet. On road they are smooth and quiet. I measured the stock tires at 70MPH with hardtop and the decibel level was the same as with the 285 70 17 Falkens. I like the way they look and with the vast majority of my driving being on road (80 mile RT commute), I liked the idea of the 50k mile treadlife warranty.

I'm not gonna lie, i don't mind sacrificing on road 'comfort' for off road capability, but from what i've heard and seen these are truly great off road too.

I just installed a set of the Rocky Mountains on my KJ (yes KJ) today, they feel a lot more stable on the highway then the stock goodyears, and the steering feels more direct and there's less scrubbing during sharp turns at low speeds.
I've only got maybe 50 miles on them so I'm not much help, but they look great, they ride smoother, yet rougher over broken pavement/raised expansion joints, but I think that's due to the worn out sidewalls on the goodyears more then anything.
We're supposed to get some heavy rain, and possibly snow this week so I'll try and remember to report back, and even though my P metric 17's are only 13/32's, with the tread design I don't see any problems at all with rain or snow.
