@@catlinbeasley2041 So far, so good. I don't do any major off roading (my truck's only a rwd), but these tires, and my locking rear diff, have gotten me out of some soft stuff where my OEM's would have just spun. The main reason I bought these is for puncture protection, because I often drive down some pretty rocky roads with sharp, fist-sized rocks. Before, I was stressed, waiting for the low tire light to turn on. Now, that's not a concern. Regarding on-road driving, like all of the reviews state, they're very quiet and didn't seem to affect my gas mileage too much. The grip is fine, considering I don't take corners too fast and the braking seems fine too.
Awesome review, I’m on the market for tires, I’m trying to educate my self before buying something I will regret. Thanks for the review I’m pretty much sold on these falkns !!
I bought Falken Wildpeaks about 2 months ago for my '18 Toyota 4Runner. They are the best A/T tires that I have ever used. I just got back from a 1,400 mile trip into northern New Mexico. Very little road noise, mileage drop only .2 of a mile from highway tires, and they have great traction in all conditions (especially snow). I also get a lot of compliments on them!
Looking At them in LT specs, been on ko2s for a while, so 1) How is the puncture resistance 2) How have the sidewalls faired with rocks, Puncture’s/cuts
No all wheel drive means all wheels drive. Unless you have an adaptive AWD like old suzuki's have or some newer models have. But most AWD means all wheel are moving
@@matthewking4470 I previously had 10ply BFG AT KO1 tires on my Frontier which were horrible on ice. These Falkens seem to grip better for me on slick stuff. I think they would be perfect for your Nissan. I have the P-rated Falken AT3W on both my Frontier and 4Runner. They are a lighter tire compared to the LT Falkens and closer to stock weight. I find keeping the tire weight close to stock weight = better fuel economy. Here's some more reviews (including snow reviews) to check out: www.clubfrontier.org/threads/falken-wildpeak-at3w-long-term-review.334850/
Rotating your tires properly is key. I've been on several trips west to Moab, Black Hills SD, ect. From Minnesota. Mine have been absolutely amazing! Works great in snow, gravel, sand ,etc just like yours. And yeah, really quiet too. Mine are the same size in a 1997 Land Cruiser.
I have this tire in 33 12.50 15 on a Samurai. I also have a set of old style geolander Mt Plus that I switch back and forth between. The samurai does way better in gravel and loose Rock with the AT3Ws. The ride is better with Falkens at street pressure. The ride is way better at lower pressures with the Falkens. The only thing the old M/T Yokahamas are better at is thick mud and deep snow. There is one really steep gravel road that I go on that I need four wheel drive with the M/Ts, but can do it in two wheel drive with the Falkens.
Slimjim Phantom I run them every day and love them cruiser has some big mud terrains on it now but the Tacoma runs these and I never am disappointed. You will love them too. Thanks for watching
How do you think they'll function in 235/80 17 with a jeep wrangler jk unlimited. I'm interested in this size, but concerned the E load may make for a rough ride. Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to offer.
Aaron Showalter I’m still sold on the 235s I run them on my Tacoma and my fj40 will have them too I’ll be going to the 255/80 r 17 when these are wore out I have not liked the 285 size but are still impressed with the tire and will continue running them
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 I run the 255/80/R17 Cooper ST Maxx on a Tacoma but have been looking at these tire as well. I am also sold on the skinny and they have worked great for a variety of situations including deep fine sand in Utah.
Think im sold on these for my silverado. The stock tires that come on are already wearing out at 33k. Looking for some new ones and i think im gonna pick me up a set of these
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 Thanks, I know a guy here that just got them for his 3rd gen Ram diesel. Discount Tire gave him a good deal to be a test pilot but not many miles to date. Great looking tire.
How would these Falkens compare to BF Goodrich KO2s???Got a set of KO2s, wearing great, great performance on the trails, but definitely interested in trying out the Wildpeaks when they wear out
I've had the wildpeaks on my AWD jeep and were great. But on my halfton truck. I'm at 20k kms and back tires are almost bald and I have not even towed with them
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 Currently I am using the X-AT. Very quiet great in sand and dirt cleans well. I would not get heavy with it in HD mud, but I have found light mudding it does acceptable. I love them much better than the popular BF Goodrich A/T KO 2's which is what I had before. My buddy loves his Falken wild peaks on his Jeep.
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 No one in their right mind buys MT's to enjoy on the road. Glad they're great for you off road though! I have Yokohama car tires and they're amazing. I'm excited to be getting into a set of Falken Wildpeaks to start doing some adventuring on the weekend rig
Not a fan. I replaced my BFGs with wildpeaks after watching a few reveiws. While I got 3 full years out of 2 different sets of bfgs I'll be lucky to get 18 months out of the wildpeaks. They work fine on pavement, better on wet pavement than the bfgs. They suck in snow and ice compared to the bfgs and they are 2/3 worn out going into only my second winter. Never again will I purchase falcons or put any faith in youtube tire reveiws.
bdd1469 I really hate to hear that, how many miles are on the tires? I’ve had multiple sets and have installed multiple sets on customer builds and have had not one complaint. What I’ve shown is my experience with the product I do not make any money on selling these tires I have a local tire shop install all my tires and in no way do falken sponsor me. I only relay my experience.
@@bobbymoore8883 Lol. I live in michigan and we get a ton of snow. BFGs work better in snow than any other non snow tire I have ever used. I put 300 lbs of sand bags in the bed of my truck and never use or need four wheel unless I go off road. If you think bfgs are bad in the snow you better buy a snow only tire and chains.
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 Not sure on the miles, I'll look for the receipt and report back if I can find it. Knowing my habits and average miles per year I would estimate 25,000 . I suspect the varied customer experience may be vehicle, size, load range specific. Lots of good reviews but that was not my experience.
Southern Arizona is 10 times harder on tires than the Ozarks. Bring em down here son.
The kid that has never been on live television before grew up fast!
Apparently
@@Story_Teller_Everyone lol
Unless you engage the center locking diff, the rear is putting down more power even though it's "all wheel drive."
I love those Wildpeak's. Had them on an old 4runner and they were great.
Nice, thanks. i just purchased a set and look forward to not worrying about punctures like I currently do with my F150's factory all seasons.
How did they do for ya? ‘16 f-150 is about to get some

What load rating/ply are you running
10 ply
We're looking at a set of these for my son's 04 Grand Cherokee. Great review!
Would you go with these over KM3/Toyo Open Country MTs?
No way I’m looking at a set for my 04 Grand Cherokee now!
No mercy indeed. Thanks for this post. Going to get mine..
Such a good tire. Good on and off road. Quote on the street as well.
Can't wait to run these! Thanks for the review!
David Williams you will love them
Impressive
You running LT or P?
i think all wheel drive just means rear wheel primarily and then 4 wheel drive / front wheels kick in when you slip? right?
No all wheel drive means all wheels drive. Unless you have an adaptive AWD like old suzuki's have or some newer models have. But most AWD means all wheel are moving
70% RWD 30% FWD probably
Have these on my Nissan Frontier and Toyota 4Runner. Love them.
Do you by chance drive in snow and such? Looking to put these on my frontier.

Good to hear this is what I want for my next tire!
Moto Psychos you will not be disappointed I have not had a dissatisfied customer. I put them on all of my own rigs
Thanks for the review! 😎👍
Some awd vehicles are rear wheel based and some are front wheel based so it's common for them to have more wear in the front or back
I have this tire in 33 12.50 15 on a Samurai. I also have a set of old style geolander Mt Plus that I switch back and forth between. The samurai does way better in gravel and loose Rock with the AT3Ws. The ride is better with Falkens at street

@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 Thanks again!
Bad shocks ?
How often do you balance & rotate?
Wichael Meston normally every oil change
Thanks... my tires don’t tend to wear out evenly.. I usually do them every 10k or after 2 oil changes.. yours look excellent after 25K... Thanks
Do you have the lt tire or passenger tire
Rear tires take extra abuse from what your front tires throw up.
How heavy is your Land Cruiser?
BEN DOVER roughly over 7000 lbs
Heard these got thin treads, wears out faster, too bad ko2s dont have 295 70 r18...
qoua vang dissagree the tread is dealer than ko2s and we get more miles out of the falkens
Thank you for the update! How do you like them in rain and snow? I might pick these up in 255/80r17 before the winter hits.
James N. Best tire I’ve had in rain or snow and your size choice is spot on that’s what I am going to after these wear out!
How would these Falkens compare to BF Goodrich KO2s???Got a set of KO2s, wearing great, great performance on the trails, but definitely interested in trying out the Wildpeaks when they wear out
leolion1993 the falkens have been better for me than the ko2 that I used to run. Less chewing than the ko2 and better all around traction off-road

What ply?
Your alignment has to be perfect or these at3w will wear down quicker than anything
Finally got my set of wildpeaks... Been like two years lol
Nice beard
