AT3s ride noticeably "squishier" than the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 35s given the latter's more durable AT/MT hybrid construction. I'd say the KO2s and AT3s are comparable tires, even similar weights within I'm guessing ~1lb delta same size. If I had the room and the Nittos in 37s were within 3-5lbs of the AT3s, I would've gone Nitto Ridges as they're just a tiny bit louder/rougher with a markedly more aggressive sidewall/tread pattern. Ultimately I chose fit, weight savings, and comfort over looks + added durability.

x2 on that comment, awesome rig!!!
 
Have the XLT’s on my Tacoma in 285x70x17 love these tires. Two years and the tread still looks brand new.
they are pretty expensive in the 37x12.5x17 flavor for the 80 series so I’ll be going a different route.

These were one of the first purchases for my cruiser
295/75r16 stock suspension
second picture is with OME 2.5” heavy lift

Great all purpose tire in my opinion
80% road 20% off-road

Looks great on the Taco @93yotasr5 ! Not sure what size wheels you're running on the 80, but most of the AT3 XLT tire options for the 16" OEM wheel are around $215 shipped to your door. Not a steal, but not entirely out of line. Thanks for the pics and feedback!

Looks great @tVille80 ! Thoughts on the 295/75 with stock gearing...all good? We don't have a lot of extra power to give away on the 1FZ. 🤣 Also, did you stuff a 5th spare underneath? Looks like most of these run out right around a ~33" outside diameter (Coopers a bit on the short side per other posts). I'm between the 295/75 and the 285/75, and likely leaning to the larger.

Thanks! No issues with the 295/75 and stock gearing in my opinion. Now that I switched to 37s I am really missing the 295/75 tire size. My spare was inside the truck.

I was looking for a tire in a 37x12.5x17 I’m going to end up running the Firestone Destination MT2’s instead of the AT3 XLT’s since it’s not my daily driver, they are cheaper the the XLT’s and much more aggressive tread pattern.
 
Very popular tire with the rover crowd. Think the biggest "down side" of this tire is that it doesn't LOOK aggressive, it's an extremely civil tire on the road and very good offroad......BUT it doesn't look aggressive which is what most people are going for, looks.
I actually like the look of these but I think A/T tread designs look different depending on the proportions of the tire. Wide tires make A/T treads look shallow and wierd. Just my opinion.
