I would have chosen/ordered these ATX from WM to replace my Falkens, but a tree branch punctured my tires and I was forced to buy *in stock* Dextero DAT1 AT Tires. NOT 3PMS, but look VERY similar the my Wildpeak AT Trails! I got the rear set replaced, will replace the fronts soon. Happy with my purchase.
Pros: happy with purchase
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I have had 2 sets of them in 5 years on an 05 tahoe. First set has lasted me roughly 48k and the most recent pair are still on the tahoe with abiut 20k on them (Tahoe is sitting, I now drive a 2016 Colorado) The tires are made local to me in South Carolina. For the price I cant beat it. I have nothing but good experience with the Dextero AT
Pros: good experience, good price
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Tahoe
Mileage: 48000 km
Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.
Pros: seats super comfortable
Cons: lane assist not great

Volkswagen Golf
I have used the DAT1’s on two vehicles and the grip was phenomenal. The DAT1’s made that a joke.
Pros: phenomenal grip
Mileage: 32187 km
I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.
Pros: car pulls harder
Cons: work with the car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Very late to the party here. I just put some Dextero All Terrain’s on a 25 year old Chevy S10 that previously belonged to my now 95 year old grandfather. Maybe this isn’t saying much for an older truck that previously had tires that were god knows how old. But I have a much smoother ride now with possibly a little more road noise, but the noise isn’t anything overbearing and is only slightly louder.
Pros: much smoother ride
Cons: little more road noise

I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.
Pros: reasonably solid
Cons: wear out faster than advertised
I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.
Pros: look good
Cons: cheap
Ive had a set of 245/65/17's on the rear of my Dakota for about 4 to 5 years now. They are decent for a budget tire but don't expect them to be on par with the likes of Goodyear, BF, etc.. In my experience, there down fall is mileage. Mine have worn even and ride nice, dry traction is very good & wet traction can be questionable.
Pros: dry traction is good
Cons: mileage is a downfall
Vehicle:
Dodge Dakota
Mileage: 20000 km
The gti tired are crap
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
