The new A/T4W will be phased in as the 3W is phased out. They look a little heavier to me, (check the tire specs) https://www.falkentire.com/wildpeak/at4w

Yes I thought there were some typos both in the A/T3W, 235/65/17 OEM part# 59000690 data I posted as well as in Falkens specification info for A/T4W, 235/65/17.My thoughts and corrections.
The A/T3W, 235/65/17, max pressure is not 51lbs, that would imply it's an XL load rated tire and it's not.
The A/T4W, 235/65/17, weight seems to be off or it's an XL load rated tire, contrary to the spec sheet, though it's possible that it's heavier because it's no longer a compromised OEM fitment!
That's how it is looking.I wonder if the 235/65-17 Goodyear will be the replacement then for the AT3w?
Damn. I'm due for a whole new set after only 32000 miles. I really liked the balance of onroad manners and offroad chops of the at3w that I don't mind the low mileage. I could probably squeeze another month out of them, but not 2+. They'll probably be racing slicks by April.@Bluebaru the expected release date is end of March, first of April if all goes to plan.
Same! Iām due but torn - canāt imagine making it to April but interested in more details as they come out.Damn. I'm due for a whole new set after only 32000 miles.

Keep an eye out for some takeoffs that people post or call a local tire shop and see what they have for some used tires. You could get some decent tires for cheap to float you until the the AT4 comes out if that's what you are set on.Damn. I'm due for a whole new set after only 32000 miles.
