Nice, I'm leaning towards these as my next set. Are you running the SL load range? I've heard they might be louder than the KO3, which isn't really an issue for me.

yes, standard load......falken wildpeak at4w 285/70r17 116t.......they sound the same as the Ko3's to me......but then again, I usually just hear the exhaust and/or the stereo more!...LOL

Sound the same as K03s when new compared to new. I would say they typically will remain quieter then the K03 or rather k02s, never ran a K03 long enough to really find out what the K03 does over the long term.
As with any AT tire they all will remain quieter and last longer if rotated on regular bases every to 5-8k miles .

I have the Falken AT4W SLs on all 3 of my RRs. Love that tire.

Your posts about them is what inspired me towards the AT4W SL. I love the wider track they provide compared to the KO3 even though they're both a rated at the same width.

Some random $335 instant savings right now on discount tire for a set of 5 of these, $67 off per wheel.

All mine came from Discount tire as well.

Does anyone know what the standard non-beadlock OEM wheels weigh, and what the offset is? Thinking of buying some takeoffs, but wanted to check the specs first.

Same offset, 55 mm and someone posted that they are around 28 lbs. so 8-9 lbs lighter.
