I am running the Falken Wildpeak ATs. They are super smooth on the highway and bombproof. Some might see them as too mild for the G application, but they have worked great in the dry rock and sand of the Southwest. The real test will be this winter and the snow.
Final Thoughts, Lessons learned and How My Gear Survived.
