I bought a set for the wife's Toyota 4x4. They have been great in the rain, snow and dry road conditions so far. They have been on for 2 years now (22k) without any problems. So far we plan to stay with them. But they are not that high rated as what you want or the size you plan to get.

Now my partner has the Wildpeaks in 285/70x17 and loves them. I'm not sure if this counts because he only had them for 5k in miles. I'm waiting until he gets 40k+ on them and see what he says then.

Went on a 1800 mile trip with him to help his parents out, and it road fine with a 10k trailer and about 2+k in weight on it. Coming back with the empty trailer was no issue either. So far I'd consider them for my truck.

They look very similar to the Big-O Big Foot AT tire, which I've been running for the last year. So far they've been very good tires in rain and snow, and they seem to be wearing well too.

I have the 295/70r17 E rated Wildpeaks on my truck. About 500 miles so far and I like them. They are as quiet if not quieter as the Mitchlens. They are a stout tire, weigh in at 74 lbs. No squirming around. They do pickup rocks, but most AT tires do. Running 60lbs inthe front and 45lbs in the rear. I bought them because everything else was on backorder. Got them from my local Tire Factory, maybe paid a little more but I don't have to go far to get them rotated. The 295's don't have the 50,000 mile warranty because they are classified as oversize.
