I just had a set of the AT3W installed on my F150 this morning. Guess we’ll see how they do this winter. Can’t be worse than the Toyo’s that were just removed.
Oh, 2 made in USA, 2 from Thailand. 🤨 Look identical. If I bought a set of four tires, I would expect that they all came from the same factory with the same date code. At least they didn't throw in a China tire as well. I agree that I really do expect all 4 (or 5) to be the same lot, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. Not sure about completely different countries of origin though. I'd make sure the like tires were on the same axle.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

Yeah, I typically look at country of origin for goods we buy. We try to steer clear of China when we can. Unless a person was specifically looking for CoO or date code, you couldn’t tell these apart.

May have posted this previously....friend had them on his 4 Runner for maybe 6 months, before he replaced them with Michelins. They were like riding around with some bees in the back...Constant hummmmm on the highway at speed....Which is where he did 99% of his driving. A philosophy that most ignore when choosing tires.

Just put a set on my F150 about a month ago. Surprisingly quiet. They are a bit stiff as a 10 ply E tire, but I lowered the pressure down to 40 psi and they aren't too bad now. I've had them in the snow once, and they were fine. Made in Thailand.

Not even a month old but I've put almost 1500 miles on mine. Interstate running 75-80 mph for about 800 of those miles. They've already seen wet, slick bentonite chasing antelope for 3 days, snow a couple weeks back, and been through standing water on our poorly drained roads. Unless something goes to [bleep], I'll be buying these again.
My wife likes hers too. Quiet for now and both sets balanced nicely.

Put a set on my f150, love them in our NEOhio snow belt winters, we typically get at least one or two snow sqalls off the lake that add up to 15 to 24 inches of snow overnight, they handle snow well.
