I say stick with the Toyo's; they are made in the US now (huge modern plant in GA) and they are nearly universally seen as one of the top-quality tires available. Your choice of the AT3 is wise (3 snowflake rated iirc) and would be a nice transition from the AT2's (which I am running on my RAM 2500, LT 285-60R/20 Xtreme). Toyos are widely available, well-made and balance easily according to most reports. My next set of tires will likely be AT3, Nitto Dura Grappler or Falken Wildpeak. Good Luck!

The reviews are saying the new design is quieter too.

I’ve heard both comments…louder and quieter. The Toyos have been great tires, the howling has increased as the tread has decreased, typical for any tire that doesn’t have highway tread patterns. I’m thinking new shoes next week.

I have the Michelin's and they've been great.  About 50k miles on them and still a lot of tread left.  No flats, no issues.

I have had the Michelin LTX, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 and BFG KO2. 

 

All on F150, camper on very part time..

 

Michelins made it to 37k

Cooper to 41 k

 

Michelin was better in snow.. Cooper was awful in my opinion..

 

KO2 have 7k on them. They are the quietest of the bunch. 

 

I am pleased with them so far, but can't comment on long term. Easy to find if you have an issue..

I ran the KO2s on my 1/2-ton Dodge. Great tires, quiet, grippy, but disappointing life. Had to trade them in around 25k miles. YMMV hopefully.

The Toyo Open Country AT3 seems to have very good reviews.   I'd consider this for my next set of tires.  I am on my second set of Toyo Open Country M/T tires and am very happy with them.  No unusual howling or drumming noises.   I notice many sizes are offered in both load range C and load range E; make sure to go with load range E for use with camper hauling.

Whatever you're going to get, be prepared to wait for them. I've been waiting 2 weeks so far for a set for the 4rnnr.

Hmm…you and I live in the same county if I recall correctly. I’m going to run by Big Brand today with some questions.
