I’ve had ko2’s, duratracs and the wildpeak’s.. I loved my Bfgs for about 10k miles and it got scary on wet and snow covered roads, went to duratracs and absolutely loved them but sold my setup just to change it up and went with wildpeak this go around and I have to say the wildpeak’s are by far my favorite tire I love them and preach them here in Michigan! To each their own I respect their opinions but I’ll never buy Bfgs again and I’ll be buying wildpeaks’s again when these wear out in like 5 years 😂
Preach man...I had KO2'S on my older ram and nearly died more than I can count on the curve on 75 between Alexis and the 280 split near the ohio Michigan border just in the rain and driving responsible... especially for the price, I'll never get those again
Ko2 wore fast for me were ok when new in snow but after that first year got unpredictable and we’re never good on ice or wet especially not wet slushy roads.
Thanks for the video. This fall we plan on getting Falken Wildpeaks for our Outback. We get 4-5 feet of snow every winter. We don’t take our Outback off road, unless we go out to my in-laws ranch in MT and their driveway is 3 miles long. It’s a gravel/mud driveway. We have to put our Outback in X mode just to get up our private road and into our garage during the winter months.
Just to give you a heads up the KO2s aren't worth a dam in the rain on asphalt. I have 285/65R18 KO2s on a 2015 Land Cruiser with around 60% of the tread remaining and they will understeer and push wide at just normal speeds on wet corners. I'm running them at 45 psi front and 40 psi rear but have ran them as low as 35 psi all around in the rain and as high as 60 psi but nothing helps. So i'm now looking for tires and found your video on the Falken Wildpeak AT3W but I worry that they may not be up to the task of a 6000 lb + SUV.
This is a great review but I think that a lot of people watching reviews don't take into consideration how subjective reviews are because different cars also handle completely differently. I read comments like "this or that tire doesn't handle well in the rain" but maybe it's their vehicle that doesn't handle well, or they drive like an idiot in the rain. Personally, I have two Tacoma's and a 4 Runner, they all have the same tires but they all handle differently in different conditions.
Totally agree. I have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 and the K02s are not good in the rain; even with some weight in the back. They were good for minute when I first got them, but looking to get the Wildpeaks as a replacement. That said, I haven't found a lot of All Terrain tires, that are real good in the rain for a Small Truck to begin with. And my truck is older and lighter than some of the newer Tacomas. Happy hunting, but curious about your Tacoma tire recommendations as well.
@@whenniceguysretaliate5619 I run Michelin AT 2's on three vehicles and I think they're great. I have a 2003 4X2 and they have 70K on them, the tread is still decent but they're showing some cracking so I'll probably replace them soon. My wife drives a 2007 4Runner 4X4 and I also have a 2015 long bed Tacoma 4X4. The tires don't look super aggressive compared to other AT's but I have no complaints at all.
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba Ironically, they don't make the size I need, but I was definitely considering these tires after doing some research. That said, they do have a Defender LTX M/S that I might check out. Much less aggressive looking than the AT 2s, but still has some good reviews based on the wet driving benefits. Just might have to embrace the less aggressive look, but for rain traction it's probably worth it. Really appreciate the recommendation and hope you have a good one.
Hey thanks I really appreciate that. I enjoy doing them but sometimes the extra time it takes to film stuff makes you wonder if it's worth it. So thank you for the encouragement.
@@MootsKLAdventure Yes IT IS WORTH IT! There are few KL Trailhawk representation here in UA-cam and that makes it all the worth while. What I would suggests is to pre-plan prior to taping otherwise you'll spend enormous amount of time editing.
@@norrinradd79 for sure! The lack of KL stuff out there was a big reason I started doing this. When I went to do the lift I couldn't find what I wanted so figured I'd just make one. It's kind of snowballed from there. I'll keep doing it as long as I'm having fun with it and people are enjoying it. Thanks again!
Patagonia tires is what I'm considering next but I heard the stock tires goes as long as 75k so changing tires wont be anytime soon as I only put 38k in the odo.
Yeah I've heard a lot of good things about the Patagonia's. I believe that's what Fearless Trailhawk runs. I didn't change mine until I need tires either. I ran the stock tires up to 78,xxx miles.
Thanks for the info and advice on the Wildpeaks. I just replaced my BFG KO2s 245/65r17 with a new set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s 245/70r17s going one inch taller in diameter after I did the MFC 2” lift. The Wildpeaks are so much better the the BFG KO2’s so far, ride quality and traction beat out the BFG’s by a long shot. Thanks again for the advice on the Wildpeaks, keep up the great content.
I got about 30,000 miles out of the KO2s with regular rotations. The issue with the KO2s is that they did not have great wet and ice traction in my experience. When I was running the stock size of 245/65r17 they came in load range D so a but heavier then a passenger load tire. They rode a bit loud and not as smooth as the OE Firestones. They are basically good in sand and mud and that’s about it. I feel that the Wildpeaks in load range XL so far are a good all rounder tire for the KL platform with much better ice and wet traction. I plan to try them out off road at Big Bend in West Texas hopefully later this year if I get a chance.
I've had KO2's and before Duratracs. The later felt on me 3 or 4 times, because they simply have weak sides and are prone to puncture on harsh rocks. The KO2, however, are much, much more reliable, I've been really very harsh on them, running over all kind of terrain, and they are extremelly durable. None of two, however, were excellent on ice and wet roads. Maybe when they were new, but after few thousands not anymore. Driving on wet and snowy roads was really stressful. On mud Duratrasc were significantly better than KO2's due to more rough profile, same in deep snow. None of them was too loud on road. Will probably go with Wildpeaks now, because above mentioned tend to degrade on straight line after 50k, so it's hard to drive highways, harder to keep steering wheel straight when riding over bumps on highway...not comfortable ride anymore. BTW...Wildpeak LT version does not have same silica content, so it is not so sticky and not so good on snow. Nice to know ;)
Did you habero modify anything to fit the 245/70's? I recently put a 2inch lift on my cherokee and was wondering if the 70's fit or if i should stick with the 65s for height
Again another great information video, the hardest tires I had to find was a good tire for our 2002 Outback as bad as this may sound we had to go to the worst place and that was Walmart lol, but got the Falcons all terrain with warranty any nail replaced witch is great plus thary are awesome in everything we do dirt mud snow they cut through everything plus we had no road noise with these so that was a plus so I must say no complaints with are wildpeak tires we don't rock crawl or anything but everything else they work great... and yeah I'm looking to to some for the Cherokee....
Glad you liked it. Tire shopping can be tough. These tires have definitely been great for me. I'm up to 50,000 miles on them and still have some tread left.
Understand that. The biggest issue with the trails in SW Missouri are they can get tight and give you pin Stripes. I really like the Glade Top Trail area. Lots of trails in that area. If you want wider trails then head down to Arkansas. Look up Byrds adventure center. They have their own trails that you've got to pay yo go on but I've never done that. Tons of other trails in that area of the Ozark National Forrest that are free. I've got videos from both on my channel.
How well do the Falken Wildpeak AT3W perform in the rain and snow as far as cornering,braking,etc,I have an 08 Sequoia Limited 5.7L 275-65-18 here in New Jersey and I'm looking for the best overall performing snow and rain tire???
The AT3W's are great in the rain. We don't usually get a lot of snow here but I've driven them in up to 6" of snow and the traction was really good. I didn't slid around or spin out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
their prices went up in now in my area so I went with the KO2 and I won't be back to falken unless they dropping the prices of the wildpeak to where it was around $790 a set
Already put a 2 in lift on and just finished grinding down the pinch welds. I plan on getting these tires as well, but I'm not sure if I should get the 4 ply or 10 ply. Did you by chance get the 10 ply for your off roading?
@@MootsKLAdventure thanks! I was worried if I took it off road I would need them to be thicker, but if yours lasted you this long, I'll take it 4 ply is enough
I had to do the pinch weld mod and then heated and molded the liner back in the front wheel well. I didn't have to trim anything. But it depends on the model year. Mines a 15'. The 19' and newer require more trimming to get the 265 70's to fit. If you're worried about that I'd suggest 255 70's
@@brayentoole it's a tough call. A lot depends on what you're wanting to gain from the tires and what you plan to do with your Cherokee. If your taking it more in sand/rock then wider is better. If your planning on mud then narrower is better. If you're wanting mpg then lighter is better. Kind of need to figure out what you hope to gain then that decides the size.
Looking at getting a used 17 trailhawk and I’m curious about your experience with its reliability. I had a 18 Grand Cherokee and hated it. Are you in Springfield? I’m just outside Fort Wood.
So at this point I've got 107,xxx miles on mine. Overall it's been great when it comes to reliability minus one issue. I had a bearing go out in my rear drive train not long ago. That was a little pricey. I live in the Springfield area. I've spent a decent amount of time at FLW for training.
@@MootsKLAdventure awesome to hear that you’ve had good luck with your Cherokee. People talk a lot about them not being reliable and I can’t imagine them being that bad let’s face it there’s gonna be a lemon among the group every so often.
Thinking about getting a set of these for my '14 Ram 1500. The Cooper AT3's on it now only have 18,000 miles on after 3 years (7/32nds tread left) and they are noisy JUNK that no longer have the good traction I need in snowy central PA.
The noise was a concern I had when looking for better tires for my Cherokee. When I was researching tires everyone said these aren't as noises as a lot of the others out there. I'll say I've been very happy with the level of noise from them. We don't get a lot of snow down in SW Missouri but when I've driven in it I felt like they handled really well. Hope that helps.
@@MootsKLAdventure Yes, that helped, thank you. I really am disappointed with those 3 year old Cooper AT3's. Just went hunting this past weekend up in the PA high country with just a few inches of snow, and even with 7/32nds tread left, I had no traction! Yesterday, I priced the Falken Wildpeaks at the same tire place I got the Coopers. I nicely told the salesperson of my displeasure with those Coopers, and she said "3 years old with only 18,000 miles on them, and 7/32nds tread left? I've heard the same exact complaints A LOT." So, if any of your subscribers are even considering Coopers? You've been warned...
I was wondering on your tire rubbing wouldn't a wheel spacer help with that? What do you think. I am only asking because I haven't done the lift and tire yet but it seems like if you moved the tire and wheel out an inch it might help. Thanks
With the 265 70 17's the wheel spacers would help with the rub on the control arm but you still would potentially rub on the fender. It's funny because I barely had any rub and some end up with a ton of rub and others no rub. Each Cherokee is a little unique. Thanks for the question.
@@LarryRichelli oh believe me I get it. I was worried about that as well. I haven't heard of anyone out right not being able to get them to fit. It's just some have to trim/mold back the fender more than others. Mine was pretty minimal.
You should be fine with an H rated tire on a V rated car. The letter rating is a speed rating from my understanding. V rated are rated at 149 mph and H for 130 mph. So really you should be fine.
@@MootsKLAdventure thanks for getting back. I heard the silica in the passenger tires are better than the lt. Better traction in snow and wet. Better traction all round.
@@kimcapone4791 that's the way I understand it. The LT are better for heavier vehicles and I will last longer but they weight more themselves and ride rougher.
I had Wildpeak A/T on my Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and then decided to upgrade to these tires. But to my surprise, they really didn't do anything better than the Wildpeak A/T tires. When I need another new set of tires, I'll probably go back to the A/T since they cost less and are more quiet on thd street.

Loved my ko2s when they were new at 36k miles they are crummy!! I think I'll try the Falkens

With the 265 70 17's the wheel spacers would help with the rub on the control arm but you still would potentially rub on the fender. It's funny because I barely had any rub and some end up with a ton of rub and others no rub. Each Cherokee is a little unique. Thanks for the question.
@@MootsKLAdventure Mine is a 2019 and I hate to buy these tires and then they don't work. That's $700 down the tubes if they don't work....bummer
@@LarryRichelli oh believe me I get it. I was worried about that as well. I haven't heard of anyone out right not being able to get them to fit. It's just some have to trim/mold back the fender more than others. Mine was pretty minimal.
@mootskladventure Are your tires LT or P rated?
They are the P rated tires. I didn't feel like I wanted the added weight of the LT tires.
this is a h rated tire? can i use it with a v rated car?
You should be fine with an H rated tire on a V rated car. The letter rating is a speed rating from my understanding. V rated are rated at 149 mph and H for 130 mph. So really you should be fine.
What load bearing number did you go with?
Hey sorry I didn't get to your question sooner. I went with 115 load index number. Wo that's I want to 2600 lbs or so.
Hi, are they LT? Or P?
Mine are P
How do they do on road noise on the highway?
It's noticeably louder than the stock Firestone but over all not very loud.
@@MootsKLAdventure Thanks.
Are these tires p-rated
Yeah I went with the p-rated tires.
@@MootsKLAdventure thanks for getting back. I heard the silica in the passenger tires are better than the lt. Better traction in snow and wet. Better traction all round.
@@kimcapone4791 that's the way I understand it. The LT are better for heavier vehicles and I will last longer but they weight more themselves and ride rougher.
@@MootsKLAdventure and very bad fuel economy also.
Looks like they like to slide sideways in your videos…
On the slick rock they definitely do.
If he aired down off road, there would be way less slip
@@branchburgswag I air down to 18psi. The KL Cherokees are pretty rough off the pavement unless you air down.
417!!!
No.
Why do you make your kid walk along?🤣
They scout the trail ahead for me lol. Just kidding
@@MootsKLAdventure 🤣🤣🤣
"Buy Ko2s, buy ko2s". No, never. Not that tire shop, manufacturer rebated garbage
I liked my Wildpeaks
Get a tread depth gauge or don’t talk about tread wear.
I actually thought the penny thing was pretty interesting way to measure depth. But I get it that people want to know the measurable depth.
It’s a comparative measurement; watch a different video.
I had Wildpeak A/T on my Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and then decided to upgrade to these tires. But to my surprise, they really didn't do anything better than the Wildpeak A/T tires. When I need another new set of tires, I'll probably go back to the A/T since they cost less and are more quiet on thd street.
Thats interesting. I hadn't heard that comparison before but good to know.
