I’ve heard good things about this tire, a new private label to Les Schwab. Put them on yesterday, I don’t have many miles on them yet but so far so good. I’ll try to update on how they are. Heading to the mountains and snow this weekend to really give them a go.

kinda looks like a KO2 tread but hard to tell from the angle.

is it quiet?
 
Never heard of this one. Please do report back with all the info you gather so future interested people can read some feedback!
 
I have about 1,000 miles on these now through all sorts of weather conditions. They are great! Traction in snow and ice is amazing.

Here is a better picture of the tread

The open range is Made by sumitomo.
since losing there exclusive contract with toyo, les schwab no longer is able to carry a name brand tire and be competitive in the market. This is where the open range comes in, which is essentially a falken wildpeak. Les schwab is I highly profit driven company that marks there tires up considerably more than they’re competitors so they’ve been forced to carry only in house brands. You can purchase The tried and tested for considerably less than the open range.
the falken wildpeak is a solid tire for the price, but I wouldn’t pay $75+ per tire just because they’re sold at les schwab.
