We’re building a new rig and Wildpeaks aren’t available in the size we want. We’re getting Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs. They get good reviews, our tire guy likes them, and they’re snowflake rated. The bad Toyo I was speaking of was the Observe. It was a Blizzak competitor, and not a good one. A/T IIIs get a lot of love in the press though. Fingers crossed!
New tires needed. 3 snowflake rated is a must 5 choices in my list.

Great choice with the Toyo AT3's. Had them on our GX and they were fantastic in the snow, sand and trails.

Add the Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 to your list. Very happy with these on pavement, snow, ice, rain, gravel.
+ eleventeen!
Can add that I've had a set in gravel-mud and sloppy mud and was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked in the sloppy mud. The gravel-mud may as well have been pavement for all that those tires cared.

Quoted from the review
"In the past, we've discussed the duality of tires in the On-/Off-Road All-Terrain category. Some focus primarily on on-road manners while still providing some degree of off-pavement traction, and others feature more of a true, dual-purpose personality, possibly at the expense of some refinement on the road. Up until now, our testing has focused almost exclusively on the former. Given there is no off-road component to our test protocol, it made sense to omit tires with off-road intentions, but even the more "aggressive" On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires will spend the vast majority of their lives on the road, facing the daily grind and shuttling people from A to B. Traits like ride and noise comfort, light handling, and wet traction are what drivers will live with every day, so it's important to know which is the best option based on your priorities."
If I was going to only drive on pavement I wouldn't buy an All Terrain tire.

I'm leaning towards trying the falken wildpeaks. I also looked at the geolanders and another set of coopers. I didn't get quite the mileage out of the coopers I expected but that is probably just having a heavy 4wd that spends more time on 395 than I5.

I put the Falkens on today. Initial impression is favorable. Nice road manners.
