    Time for an upgrade.
    Making the jump up to 285/75/16's and getting a much needed 5th.

    Pretty set on either the at51 or at3w. Good prices, good reviews, good looks.

    I can get a set of 5 for about the same money installed ($50 more for Falken total)

    Read about the same amount of good reviews on either.

    TIME FOR A POLL!!!

    I say Falken, which is what I have. I like the more aggressive looking sidewall on them. They ride good, with little noise.

    It's not all about sidewall!!

    Jk!

    Op didn't tell if he is going to take E rated tires tho... Mine Kumho are P rated and I do like the ride. Not much road noise. My father does have the sime tire on his dodge Ram and his has lot more noise... But may be a dodge problem lol

    Very happy with the Kuhmo's so far. Put them on last September. Very surprised at how good they are in snow.

    Are you concerned about weight? May be one more argument for one tire over the other.

    Wouldn't say I'm "concerned" but looking at whats available in my area both tires are E rated with no other options.
