Went with Widlpeaks after all. Was really on the fence with the Outpost APTs (they're much lighter), but the very few reviews I've found complained about a severe growl/noise even at moderate speeds. My objective was to have a more robust tire for forest roads, with a "rugged" look yet as little road noise as possible.
Given I took a few dB measures over a specific highway stretch at a specific speed with the Geolandars, I'll soon compare with the Falkens. Likewise for MPGs, since I've monitored them on my 2019.
Subjective impressions: more comfy of a ride (though the revised 2022 suspension could be the reason), smoother, more grip.
