So it's actually a Ford Spec AT3? I don't see anything about Ford. I have an appt at DT for an install of Yoko GO15s Tues but would rather have the Ford Spec ATW3.
I tried calling my Ford dealer about a purchase cost late Saturday of a set but they were be busy and never called back. Will try again tomorrow. I prefer the Ford spec set.

If I go bigger it will be with these. More of a road tire with a softer compound for better road manners and the sidewall look of an off road tire. I don't do offroading.
