I use the WildPeak AT4w as my primary off-road tire on a Land Cruiser 250 (Prado). The tires are reasonably comfortable and responsive in daily driving and on long road trips, but really shine when I air them down and take them off-road on rocky mountain trails. I'm very pleased with the NVH characteristics of the WildPeak AT4w - they are louder than the OEM road tires, but not excessively so. Since the tires need to be at 39 psi on road, the ride can be a little harsh over bigger on road impacts (like pot holes and expansion joints.) I chose the AT4w in part to get a true 33" tire in a narrower width for better grip on rocky terrain. In my experience on dirt, rock, and sand, I found the grip to be excellent even in wet conditions. Excellent off-road and above average on road. If you aren't planning to use these on dirt, rock, sand, or mud, then you'd probably be better off finding a more road focused AT tire. The pic shows how well the tires conformed over rocky terrain aired down to around 20 psi.
