The Falken Wildpeak A/T3W was my first choice as I run them on my 2500HD and love them. Unfortunately I couldn't get a set for the Jeep when I needed them so I opted for the Wrangler Territory instead. They perform well so far, but in all honesty, I'm pretty sure that I'll be replacing them with the Falken when it's time.

I've been running those Wrangler Ultrterrains on my '19 JLUR for some time and they replaced my OEM Factory Falken Mts. The Ultras are a really quiet , good in the rain and on the trails here in AZ. Not sure on mud & snow as we don't get that much in southern AZ!
I was pretty close to getting those UltraTerrains for my WK2 Trailhawk, too. More modern design and construction than the KO2. Seems like a good AT tire. Found a buy-3-get-1 deal for the Falkens so went that route instead.

One new tire option that has cropped up around here: Goodyear "Territory" (NOT a Wrangler) MT take-offs from new Broncos. 315/70R17 is ~35. Look good on a buddy's 4xe.

i have the M/T version of that tire; work great on and off-pavement, and have a great ride (Load Range 'D'), but heavy and large compared to some other makes/models of the same size.

i can hear them if i'm listening to them, but don't feel they're loud at all. they're certainly quieter than those horrible Firestone Muds that came on the Willys!

I have the Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT in 35x12.5x17 and no white lettering. They've been great tires for me over the last year I've had them.

The noise, or rather, the lack of noise, was something that surprised me for how aggressive the Baja boss AT's are. I haven't once noticed them while driving and my windows are down 9/10 times I'm driving.

I have 35x12.5R20’s on my Silverado with no white lettering on the KO2’s.

How do you like your 35x12.5R17 Falken MT’s for you Jeep? I still have the stock 33’s and I am thinking of getting the 35’s in them over the BFG KM3’s.
MTs are quiet and wear well, I'm just not doing nearly enough mud work to warrant them.

That's weird. The guy I plow snow for in the winter runs them on 40 or so plow trucks. The truck I use runs them and hell I drive 70+ mph in snow and slush with zero issues. Plow a shit ton of snow and slush. I have never though that they did not perform well. I though they are amazing in snow and slush and never thought they lacked traction.
Exactly my KO2s have done awesome in the crazy jersey winters.
