Sharing my Falkens in the same size. Excuse the super cheesy music.

Any comparison between these and Falken AT4W's? I'm curious if one is quieter than the other.

The Falken is almost silent except maybe between 20-40 mph where there’s a slight hum but it sounds nice. My only knock on it is that it’s a pretty hard tire and for it to ride decently you need to be around 34 psi and not much higher (in E load). It’s great in the wet and appears to be bulletproof and insanely overbuilt (you can tell). 18/32 tread depth which is segment leading and a very cool tread pattern. It also handles shockingly well on the road—steering is phenomenal.

I think the KO3 sidewall is cooler. I also think the KO3 is very quiet. It might also be more comfortable, but I don’t know. Both tires are top performers.
