I use tghem on subaru forester since few months and they are great, and what's funny, in general I have 2 years history of using them, I installed them as my "all season tire" for alfa romeo 159, with FWD drivetrain, they didn't transform fwd car into offraod monster, but made it possible to push it to the limit in mud or snow, normal tires in mud or some snow get jammed up rapidly, wildpeaks clean themselves and dig for traction, and I use them all year, on hard surfaces they handle like average tire, offroad they are surprisingly good, I also had mud terrains installed on forester for daily tires, however they didn't give as big advantage in mud, basically it was easier to go through easy / average mud pits, but in super hard mud pits they sucked anyways, switching to wildpeaks made driving less noisy and I didn't notice any difference in mud, because as I said, I haven't spotted any "borderline" mud pit to test the tires in, either I go through it like butter, or I get stuck and there's nothing else that can help except for towing
It's great to hear from someone that's had some decent time spent on these tyres and it's good to hear that they work on front wheel drive non-offroad cars as they do on 4x4's. 😀 It's also interesting to hear that your train of thought regarding mud terrains is similar to mine in that they have a very narrow window when they work really well. All the other times an all terrain can do the job just as well if not better without half the noise. 😀 Thanks for your detailed comment @howabout2138 👍 - Scott
@@ScottandAlana4x4 only mud tires type that "really works" is simex / landdragon pattern, basically 15cm high tread depth, but then it's not a tire anymore, but a mud pump, I have those on my other offroad nissan and they're unstoppable unless you stop in the middle of pit, every other "normal" type of mud tires are as you said, just giving you the edge over competition, maybe if you tried running 2 exactly same cars through one mud pit but one having some super expensive greatest and newest mud tires, and other one average all terrains, the mud tire one would probably go a little bit far but not much
Also this tyre is three peak rated for winter driving and there are not many all terrain tyres that are. Thanks for the info I just subscribed and will be looking at the the rest of your videos.👍
Hi Stephen 👋. As much as I was aware of the three peaks rating of the tyres, I hadn't really taken it into account and didn't realise that not all, all-terrain tyres don't come with that rating as default. A really good point that you make. 👍 Thanks for subscribing. Hopefully you will find one or two more videos that you enjoy. 😁 - Scott
I've got the Wrangler A/S on 19" rims and found them great for grip in most conditions but as they've aged (~5mm left) they have become exceedingly noisy above 30mph...giving a noise akin to a wheel or diff bearing on its way out. Dont really do much off roading, other than up farm tracks and into fields with the horsebox.
Hi Andrew 👋. I have seen this sort of behaviour with tyres that they start off well and end up super loud towards the end of their life. I'm hoping these Wildpeaks won't head down that road and get annoyingly loud. 🤞😀 Farm tracks and into fields with the horsebox is still more off-roading than a lot of people do with their Freelander 2, and therefore, you can more than justify a nice set of all terrains. 😉😄 - Scott
I don't know if this will help you or not, especially this late after this video posted, but I'm in the USA and these tires come with 15/32" tread depth in truck/SUV sizes such as 275/65 R18.
I bought Pirelli Scorpion Verde's all round when i got the car in October, after one of the now unavailable Goodyear Wranglers that were on it picked up a 21mm socket on the road. I wasn't ever planning to use it for anything other than to be a car. Now i want to use it more off road... I really want to get some of these, but I'd be killed.
Picking up a 21mm socket in the tyre is a bit random. 😅 Although it would also be handy to undo the 21mm wheelnuts on the Freelander 2. 😄 Just do what we do and have 2 sets of rims. That way, you can put the off-road set on for when you want to have fun and then forget to put the road tyres back on after. 😉😁 If it helps, you can even say that Scott and Alana told you to buy All Terrain tyres for the car. 😂 - Scott
@ScottandAlana4x4 wounder If it was there own socket from doing there on wheels up🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 it's how alot of people seem to loose there locking wheel keys🤔
Thanks for useful review. Are you still happy? Some reviews mention a poor wet performance. Which one would you recommend for occasional trails and camping in 235/55/R19. I’m choosing between Falken AT3WA and General Grabber AT3. Winter usage is no more than 5-7 days in a year, the rest of the time is 25+ Celsius. (I’m from Cyprus)
You're welcome Wheeling Cyprus. 😀 I'd say we are only a quarter of the way through their life so far, and we are very happy with them so far. I still hold the crevat that we have no idea what they will be like when they are into their last 20% of life as I know some tyres can get noisy and the grip suddenly drops off. 😁 It depends on what type of driver you are as to their grip in the wet. We have no issues at all with them, but we don't exactly drive like we are race drivers when it rains. 😄 I would choose the Falken's over the General's but that's only because we have no experience of the General Grabbers. Over here as you'll see in the video there is a small price difference between the 2 tyres which is what steered us towards the Falken's. 😀 I wish we only had 5 to 7 winter days over here in the UK. 😁 I wouldn't mind a bit of Cyprus weather right now if you can send some over? 😅 - Scott
@@ScottandAlana4x4 thanks, I would love to send you some hot days, because it is about 40 Celsius here last month and it going to more in August) I’m driving slowly most of the time, playing with the consumption reached 5.8 to 100km. Grabbers here are 50 eur more per tire, so it looks that it’s worth to try falken)
@WheelingCyprus Ooooffff, I'm not sure I want that much heat actually 🥵. I start complaining when it gets to high 20's celsius. 😅 I really don't think there would be much between the General Grabbers and Falken Wildpeak's, so I'd say save the euros and give the Falken's a try. 😀 - Scott
@@ScottandAlana4x4 my factory fitted Bridgestone is wearing out already, so I will have to buy a new set of tires soon, will try to review it also! Thanks, cheers 😊
Love the review! Based on it (and couple more), I just got these tires (235/60R18) for my 2009 Volvo XC90. I was wondering, what pressure do you run them at for what scenario (generally, compared to the OEM recommendations for your vehicle)?
Hi Ducho 👋. Thanks for the comment 👍. For our Freelander 2, the OEM pressures are 32 psi all round. When these tyres were fitted, we initially set them to 32 psi. After a week or so, we decided they just looked overly soft, so we upped the pressure to 36 psi all around. We keep the pressure at 36 psi no matter what we are doing. Whether we are doing a 3 hour road trip or spending a whole day at an off-road pay and play day. As I mentioned in the video, we did once drop the pressures a bit while we were off roading to see if it made a difference, and honestly, we didn't notice any difference. 😀 - Scott
@@ScottandAlana4x4 Thanks. I'm asking this because one review I watched mentioned that "if you don’t deflate a bit below the OEM tire pressure recommendations, then it becomes dangerous on wet (like a 7 years old all-season dangerous), if you go above OEM pressures then you are playing the Russian roulette on wet." It was for a much smaller tire size on much ligher vehicle (Dacia Duster 😁), though.. I've been running these for a month now, but it's still too hot and dry here in Bulgaria to test them on wet.
@@DuchoChanev When it comes to wet driving on the road the tyres have been great considering they are a tyre that has to work well on-road and also well off road which is never going to be an easy task for someone that designs these tyres. The one thing I do bear in mind which I mention in the video is for all I know, the terrain response could be stepping in on our Freelander 2 where the tyres lack and we just don't notice it. Maybe on a Dacia Duster with it's less sophisticated off road electronics compared to the Freelander's, it might show the tyres for what they actually are. 😀 As for off-roading in the wet, we have been super lucky and had a lot of dry conditions when we have been off road. But when Alana took the car through some thick, slimey, deep mud on an off course, the car and tyres pulled itself through to the otherside so they cannot be too bad in that respect either. 😁 I think the main thing being that we haven't noticed any odd wear in any of the tyres yet and that's normally the biggest giveaway that the tyres are being run at the wrong pressures. 😁 Hopefully you'll get a small bit of rain in Bulgaria sometime soon so you can put your tyres to the test and let me know how you found them. 👍 - Scott
Can you compare the Falken tyres with the Yokohama tyres, particularly in terms of grip on wet tarmac? Any opinion would be useful as I could not find any comparison of these tyres.
Hi Jakub 👋. It's hard to compare the Yokohama Geolander we had that was towards the end of it's life Vs a brand new Falken Wildpeak as it's not really fair. Overall though, there wasn't much in it when it comes to general day-to-day driving on-road. We do feel like the Wildpeaks give us much more traction off road. But again, that could be more down to old Vs brand new. 😃One thing I will say, if someone come up to us and said, "I will give you 1 free set of tyres but you have to pick between Geolanders or Wildpeaks." I don't think there would be any hesitation and we would take the Wildpeaks. 😁 - Scott
Hi Some Dude 👋. On a day-to-day basis during general driving, we haven't had any issues with these tires in wet conditions on the Great British greasy roads. 😁 Although I'm sure if you did a braking test with these verses, a high level pure road focused tire, the road tire will win. But as soon as you go off-road, you're going to be in trouble. 😃 For us, you'll see that we do a decent amount of off roading. So we are willing to give up a bit of on-road performance for the greater off road capability of a tire and that's where this tire is a great middle ground if people don't want to or cannot afford the enhanced premium of the BF Goodridges. Both Alana and I drive quite defensively when we are on the road, so I don't think we have had to do a full on emergency stop at any point with these tires on. Although Alana generally leaves her braking a little bit later than me, so she uses the brakes a bit harder. I don't think the ABS has ever jumped in to help her out in the wet where the tires have given up. 😁 Hopefully that answers your question a little bit? 😃 - Scott
@@ScottandAlana4x4 Thanks for the details. Currently I use Nokian Outposts on my Prado, and I found them too slippy when braking on wet roads: I slipped several times when braking moderately on wet roads, in a straight line and going less than 40 km/h... So I am quite interested in the Wildpeak AT3WA.
@@somedude3423 One of the things I always disclaimer with is that I have no idea how many shortcomings there are with the Wildpeaks that are masked by the Freelander 2's, quite complex terrain response system. So these tyres could react in a whole different way on another car. 😃 If you do go with these tyre's in the future, feel free to comment back on this video to let me know your first experiences with them. 😁👍 - Scott
Could you please tell me why your falken wildpeak at3w are different from the falken wildpeak at3 w in the US ( different tread patterns). Thank you in advance
Hi Kostis 👋. Until you left that comment, I didn't know there was a difference between the US version Vs the UK. Although I did notice over in your part of the world, you have Wildpeak AT3W, whereas we have WIldpeak AT3wa. Maybe the "a" is what makes the difference between the European version of the tyre compared to the American version. Other than that, I have no idea why there is a difference. 😀 Thanks for highlighting this, though 👌😁. - Scott
Not got my fl2 yet saving up bit doing lots of research so my question is as u have mentioned in other videos tyres sizes etc been mixed isn't healthy for thr 4x4 if u can avoid it which I agree with ... do these tyres fit in the spate wheel well aswell?
Hi Ashley 👋. This is actually a very good question with not a simple answer. The reason for the not simple answer is that we don't really plan to use a spare tyre. I know that sounds crazy but bear with me... 😁 In short: I think that a 245/65/R17 on a full size rim _should_ fit in the spare wheel well as it is quite roomy in there and a 245/65 isn't that much difference in size compared to a 235/65 overall. The long version: To us, a new spare tyre would only be any use when the other tyres are still fairly new. Once the tyres have been 50% used on the car, using a spare tyre could be risky. If you've seen our recent "what to service" video then you'll already know about the following. In our minds, if you have 6mm left on all the tyres and get a puncture on 1, you'll be swapping it out for a tyre that could have 12mm of brand new tread on. The Haldex _could_ then be working all of the time because it's seeing 1 tyre rotating at a different speed to the other 3 and trying to correct what it thinks is a wheel slipping. I have no evidence to support this claim so I always say that people should make up their own minds as to what they do with their cars. But plan A for us is we always carry a *good* quality puncture repair kit so hopefully we can plug any punctures there and then. Plan B would be that we either use our AA breakdown depending on where we are or we take the gamble and use the spare. We currently have a 235/65 in the wheel well right now and do plan to get a 245/65 Falken Wildpeak fitted to the steel wheel that we have kicking around and have that in the wheel well. Whether or not we would use it when push comes to shove would depend if we are traveling 10 miles or 110 miles. 😁 - Scott
@ScottandAlana4x4 I have tyre worms etc so would be a last ditch attempt but still think it would be worth carrying one .... pull the haldex fuse?pull the prop? If your stuck at the too of Scotland with a twin axle caravan or on a bad green lane the option would be nice lol
@@ashleywright1991 Yeah you right about having options and I guess the best bet would probably be to pull the haldex fuse if you did need to get yourself out of stuck.
