2 years in, and I'm STILL in love with these! Only down to 8/32, they they're wearing very well. 2 winters in, and no issues with snow at all. When the time comes, I'll be getting another set!
I have your old bridgestones which came with my car. They did OK in snow, no issues. I also notice they hydroplane a lot more than usual. My next tires will be Michelin Cross Climate 2. Falkens look nice, but i dont think i am putting A/T on my car. :)
I run the 10 ply Falken Wildpeak AT3W's on my GMC Sierra Z71 and absolutely love them. But I'm looking at these Falken Wildpeak AT Trail's for my wife's 4x4 GMC Envoy XL.
I just had a set of those installed on a set of Sparco Terra SE wheels... they look sick and perform nicely. I lost some fuel economy but worth the trade off
I order some earlier this week, they come in tomorrow for my 2010 Lexus RX 350! Looks like a solid tire at a reasonable price! Thanks for sharing your experience with them!
I think if the tires wear on the shoulders, and it's not the alignments fault, than you may have run at low pressures. Glad to hear these don't roll easy I run 215/70/16 and just ordered a set!
Awesome review. These are the perfect and the only true all terrain out their for crossovers. A little heavier than standard touring tires, but still be a lot lighter than any other competing All terrain.
Mopar JK08 indeed, I have been using them for a decent bit off off road/dirt/ and gravel roads and I feel very confident having them over an all-season.
@@olmixer The A/T Trail still out performs in wet traction, longevity, and has been tested to be a more durable in tougher terrain with thicker sidewalls. Nitto makes a great quality product, but the performance just isn’t to the same standard.
Jiminy Cricket lol 😂 great analogy ! I do remember those old corvair cars and their reputation for roll overs . It’s a shame the automotive industry doesn’t just put decent tires on the vehicles. It’s like a waste of rubber to make something that is going be replaced and not even used by most people . And really , how much more would it cost them to put the Falken AT Trails on the Outback when they have a contract to outfit millions of these things ? The price we pay for car these days should include a worthy tire to go with it .
You've convinced me, got them for my 18' RAV4 adventure since I couldn't decide on just getting all terrains or some Michelin's So happy to get rid of the garbage ecopias that only got 36000 mile lifespan Appreciate the insight
Excellent! That will be a great tire on the RAV4. Ecopias... yea- a $150 tire that is pretty disappointing. Happy I could help you out, please subscribe if you have not yet! Thanks!
@@jeffhunter4395 I think it should work I just went standard 235/55/r18, not disappointed I think I would've been happier going down to 17" wheels to get some bigger tires but have no desire to get rid of the stock black Adventure rims. The adventure models are one of a kind since I can't find them anywhere for sale. Let alone come up with a asking price if I sold them. But I recently (last week) got the wildpeaks on and I'm thoroughly impressed! This review was spot on 👌
Jeff Hunter I have a 2018 RAV4 adventure, I recommend getting 17x8 rims from lp adventure with a +20 offset and 225/65R17 falken wildpeak at trail tires. It’ll make your RAV4 look mean plus it performs great in all terrain and has just enough room and won’t throw off your speedometer
Had an alignment done, everything was good. There is one adjustment that cant be made on our Forester, (might be toe). Subaru's AWD system is hard on tires.
Still holding up great! Just rotated them, probably have another year before they are worn out. They have done well in the snow and off road too. The rubber is starting to fade but that's it!
@@MTsubfly Her stock tires lasted 4 years / 38k miles. She may lose 1mpg, but living near Chicago we need good tires for winter too, and her stock tires were not very good. These have provided a great ride in the summer, can't wait to try them in winter. How many miles did you put on them?
Ecopias are AS tires? I made the mistake of getting Allenza+ AS and they are USELESS in AMY snow/ice/wetgrass/wet incline conditions! If you drive in any bad conditions in winter, GET THE AT tires!
Give them a couple thousand miles. They'll start to howl. Not a big deal considering what they're for. I have a 17 Forester and run 37 front 35 rear.- wearing evenly at 15 k miles. My bridgestone Ecrappias were crap, too.
@@MTsubfly I also liked your diff fluid replacement videos. You gave good information unlike some youtubers just gloss over important information like it is a walk in the park. Was it difficult for 24” breaker bar to pop the drain fill plugs? I am thinking impact wrench to loose it but someone on Forester Forum is deadset against it. Thx.
@@jtwu8931 breaker bar is all you need. With an impact, it's so powerful there is a slight risk you could damage threads or Crack the casting. It's your choice, weigh the risk.
Do you think the wear on your old tires was normal? My 2017 outback with stock tires has pretty uneven wear (though one of the tires is constantly low psi) where the outsides are more worn on some of the tires. Wondering if that is natural or I need alignment.
I think my wear was normal. I think its from the AWD system. All 4 had extra wear on only the inside shoulders. Low pressure isn't good. You might have a slow leak. You can get that checked, some places will check your alignment for free, only charge for repairs. My alignment has been good.
@@alang253 For sure, good luck! Just checked discount wheel warehoues and it looks like they raised prices a bit. Sitting at $117ea plus shipping. It might go back down depending on demand.
unfortunately i never had time to do a winter video. Maybe soon. Our business is consuming any free time. However, both the wife and I have driven over the pass and around town in the snow. It's not as good as an actual "snow tire", but for an all terrain/all season it performs up to my needs. With this tire IMO there is no need to switch out to a snow tire. Install good tread, drive cautiously, and you will do great in snow. I would buy again.
See my latest upload too. I do 50/50 city hwy, the loss in mpg is mostly in the city, more stopping, and more get up and going eats a bit more fuel, not because of the tread so much, but the weight. They are 9 lbs heavier each. 36 more lbs to get rolling makes a difference.
@@MTsubfly Didn't realize they were that much heavier. It says 245/60/r18 for my car are 31 lbs. And my all seasons are 28 lbs. I am trying to not kill my mom since I drive 18k miles a year.
They have been great! I really like their sturdy sidewall, and handle well in corners. Only bummer is MPGs went down a bit. Are you looking for more off road/all weather grip? Or more of a performance tire? Check out my updated video if you haven't yet!
Yea these are pretty good. Right now there's not much out there for factory size all terrains. Pretty good value, though it's getting harder to find deals on them.

Looking to put these tires on my VW Tiguan!
It is nice to see someone else from Oregon with these!

just ordered some for my tiguan as well, bought them from the retailer you recommended

Are they much heavier than street tires?
@@pinoywheelgunner they are a bit heavier for sure.... went from.30 mpg to 27....but definitely worth the trade off if you make use of them

They're sweet tires. Drove on some icy roads this morning... good traction.
Just bought these tires. I would LOVE to see another video on these tires!
It's on my to do list! Hopefully some decent snow is in order-or even off roading. Stay tuned Dan

I hope you got a 4 wheel alignment. I never replace tires, especially on an Subaru, without a 4 wheel alignment.
Had an alignment done, everything was good. There is one adjustment that cant be made on our Forester, (might be toe). Subaru's AWD system is hard on tires.
MT awesome! And yes, Subaru’s AWD system is very rough on tires, and the reason I religiously rotate them, LOL!!!
Nice looking tires
How they hold up 4 years later? I just put these on my wife's Eclipse Cross.

cant wait for these tires to be avaliable in australia!
Any idea when these will become available in Australia?
@@jeffreylin5492 You wouldn't consider the AT3W? www.falken.com.au/product/wildpeak-at3w/
Have they updated the website where you got them? They weren’t on sale either
Thanks for the initial video. Did you get to try them in snow?
Thanks! Yes! We've driven over the pass with them, snow ice and rain. Still very happy!
Ecopias are AS tires? I made the mistake of getting Allenza+ AS and they are USELESS in AMY snow/ice/wetgrass/wet incline conditions! If you drive in any bad conditions in winter, GET THE AT tires!
I got the same tires for my 2016 Toyota Rav4
Sweet! That will make a sweet ride!
Good talk!!
Hi! Would you say these are quieter than the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S?
Would do think would be better for a Jeep Patriot AT trail or AT3WA?
Both are a great option. Depends on what you need. But you will be happy with the AT trails i think!

Hi! I am planning to buy this tyres in 245 65 17. Can they fit on serial Mercedes GLE 17 inch rims with 7.5 inch wide rim?
Did the tire installers do the tire pressure system?
No sir, I realized this as well, but honestly as a mechanic myself I am not one bit concerned. Now after this set of tires...sure lets change 'em out.
Thanks for the review. I heard good things about Wildpeaks from others too. Do you replace the TMPS when mounting the new tires? Thx

Stock size, no lift = no worries. Hope this helps.
Any winter conditions update of these tires?

Every video ive seen with these tires say they drop your mpgs.
Yup, heavier tire + more aggressive tread pattern.
Had em on my 2016 forester, it doesn’t drop it down by much .5 - 1 mpg less.
I've been looking at these tires or 1 size bigger hankook at2 For my 2016 explorer. You really lost 2mpg with these tires?
See my latest upload too. I do 50/50 city hwy, the loss in mpg is mostly in the city, more stopping, and more get up and going eats a bit more fuel, not because of the tread so much, but the weight. They are 9 lbs heavier each. 36 more lbs to get rolling makes a difference.

Everyday Cars yes, my last set of tires were the Bridgestone Ecopias, thin tire, 20lbs ish. You probably won't see much change.
Any new tire vibration with these?.. I seem to be having a light vibration with these tires
Zero vibration. Still an impressed customer!
So how is your MPG on the new tires?
Lost a few mpgs on average, still worth it for me.
Can you go to 225/65 17? Looks like you could no lift. Anyone know?
Got that size on my 2019 Forester no problems.
Thinking about these for a 2016 x1. Where can I find the best pricing?
Please check out my other videos on where and how I got the best price, at one point down around $85/tire!
Did you get SL or LT?
225R/60/R17 SL
225’s? Thanks.
yes
Redmond or ?
Yes sir.
was thinking of putting these on my wrx how have they been so far?
They have been great! I really like their sturdy sidewall, and handle well in corners. Only bummer is MPGs went down a bit. Are you looking for more off road/all weather grip? Or more of a performance tire? Check out my updated video if you haven't yet!
