Cooper A/T3 or Falken Wild Peak A/T?

I'm looking to replace the worn BFG Commercials on my 4x4 Ranger with a better A/T tire. I'm planning on running the stock 245/75R16 size since I want to make sure my chains fit. My coworker has the Cooper A/T3 on her Frontier and likes them, and I've read good reviews elsewhere on this new tire. I'm also considering the Falken Wild Peak A/T since it has good reviews as well. Should I just decide on price?

I've had the Cooper AT3 tires on my truck for the past year. I love them. No complaints. Look good, quiet, handle great in snow and rain. I went with the 245s as well.

I don't have the AT3s, but I have Cooper S/Ts. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Coopers are still made in the USA and are owned by Cooper as well so this a plus for me.

I considered the AT3s but I wanted something with a little deeper, wider tread like the STs have. And the AT3, at least in a 285/75/16, only came in an E load rating, the STs I got are a D load rating. But that shouldn't be a problem for you since you are running stock size.

Got the Falkens since I got them installed for $629 versus ~$700 for the Coopers. I like how they look and am looking forward to trying them off pavement.
