Packed with Technology | Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

Mine showed up on the doorstep today.
I'll post some pics in the morning after they are on, even tho it will look just like the 20 other trucks in this thread with pro wheels on AT3's lol

 

Check your tire pressure. I am running 34.

Adjust your mileage using the tire size calculator at the bottom of the page.

 

Are you also running the same size on stock rims?

Discount tire set the pressure to 36... I will chalk test on Sunday and see how it looks and then adjust from there.

Looks like the speedometer is only off by a little bit... At 50mph I'll actually be going close to 52mph. Will that also affect the mpg readout? I guess that would make sense... Doing more miles per hour so getting more miles per gallon?

I'll manually check by calculating the miles i get from a full tank and how much i fill up and then compare against the trucks display.

 

Sub'd for my possible next tires.

 

So I'm not usually fan of discount tire and all the kids they have working there, but I figured bought the tires there and wanted to get the certificates anyways so I would let them mount them.
Everyone is super cool and friendly, awesome service for a busy Friday morning.

And then ...they come out and tell me that they broke not 1, but 2 of my sensors swapping them out

DOH!

 

Damn that sucks bro... Did they replace them? Have to order?

This was my first time ever using discount tire but they mounted and balanced the wheels without issue...

They did however keep 2 of my chrome N2 valve caps and replace them with plastic grey caps... it was the 2 on the passenger side so i didn't even notice until i got home... Maybe that was the plan?

I called them about it and they said it was an accident... And i could come pick them up anytime... But it's an hour away from me... So I'm not rushing back...

 

They didn't have any, the dealer down the street apparently didn't either. So they finished up and sent me on my way. I'm supposed to come back later today when they have the new ones so they can install and calibrate them.

I'm pretty sure they are going to be whatever aftermarket sensors that the company uses. Which are probably the same mfg as what toyota uses but not OEM.
I'm not sure how I feel about that if that is the case, but I'll just go back and see what happens.
I'm a pretty easy going customer when it comes to this stuff, so I'm not going to worry about it untill they give me a reason to.

They did mount all of the wheels and re-mount the stocks without scratching anything, so at least I've got that going for me.
Hopefully they can do it again when they put the new sensors in.

They also plugged the stock tire for me that took 2 nails, which I appreciated. Even tho I was confused about it considering the place I usually go to said it couldn't be done.

 

Got it wrapped up this afternoon
Definitely agree with with everyone else that picture don't do them true justice.
Much more tuff looking in person

 

I've been running the Falkens for about 2k now. So still pretty new, but I do like them so far. Quiet on the road and I think will be good for my off road needs. Had good traction in the rain. Still need to test them off road.

 

Just got my Wild Peaks installed this morning, P265/70/17. Paid $120 per tire, tough to beat that price. Installed with the raised lettering on the outside, looks very aggressive for a p-rated tire.

Spending the extra money I saved from not buying KO2s and getting some other mods done.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have the tread wear issues a lot of other people are talking about.

 

Took this photo today after nearly 6k miles of some of the most abusive conditions you could subject an all-terrain to. These are 245 E loads on a Ram 1500 used for law enforcement patrol. If they continue to hold up and perform as they already have, I may have found my new fleet tire. Just wish they were US made.

 

Got My wobbley out of round tire replaced today. At 5k on a P rated 265/70/17 tread measured 12/32 . Falken covered it 100%

 

Figured id update....

Finally got around to chalk testing tires... Discount Tire had me at 37psi all around. Too much pressure. Chalk only wearing off in the dead middle.

Reduced pressure to 34psi.. Much better but still a Little high... I'm thinking 32psi might be perfect for the chalk test... Funny enough that's what is listed on my door jam...

However, i didn't test 32psi yet... While chalk testing i got a call and had to go help a buddy. So I'm still running 34 for now... They ride great at this pressure.

 

Anyone gotten these in a P265/70/17 or 255/75/17??

 

I do. 265 70 17

 

Same

 

Is that a P series tire? Just wondering if they still were as bulky tread as a LT or not

 

Post a pic of it man

 

I'm thinking of upsizing from the stock TRD Sport size of 265/65/17 so I was wondering what hit to MPGs and general performance you guys noticed (since you guys both have TRD Sports as well)? I'm not too concerned, just curious.
Also, did you guys have to do any trimming to fit this size? I have a 2.5" OME lift so I'm thinking I would be okay but I'm not sure.
