Great tire at a great price. It is made by Sumitomo, parent company of Falken and it's the more refined, onroad, milder version of the Wildpeak AT3W. They actually outperform those in every category except for offroad. Overall they're an excellent tire and would highly recommend. Installed on 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo E 4x2 in LT265/70/17 [Load E/10 Ply].
