I'm not familiar with the Falkens, but really enjoyed the improvement of the Toyos on a light weight single-cab Toyota I recently owned... obviously an apples-to-oranges comparison, but I'm looking for an alternative to BFG A/Ts. I use this metric partially because they were a lot heavier than the stock 245/75/16s that came on the Tacoma.

FWIW, tirerack.com shows 109 4.5 point reviews for the Falkens, but 546 4.5 reviews on the Toyos... I don't believe everything I read on the internet, so the delta in reviews could be attributed to something as simple as a $50.00 "reward" that can skew the "reviews."

I'd love to hear Grenadier specific experiences. Thanks!

Thanks for this feedback... I take it that the Falken is the 'whole package?' Good in the wet; decent off-road; and reasonable on? Or are they overall equal, but the nod goes to the AT4W as the quieter of the two?

I am surprised just how much louder my BFG A/T KO3s are compared to the KO2s they replaced... with a negligible difference off-road. Those are fitted to a Defender daily (the Grenadier is in winter hibernation awaiting the end of salt season).

I run the Toyo Open Country and are very happy with them. I have had them on several vehicles including my Grenadier, a Ford F-250, and a Ford Raptor. I have not tried Falkens so I cannot give you any info there. The Toyos are good in the snow which is important for my climate. They also wear very well which I like. I think they are a good overall tire and highly recommended.
