Falken Wildpeak at3w 265/75 R16

I should add that I've been driving in snow and have a modified intake and exhaust. Some of my driving was over the speed limit. I was averaging 19-20 in the morning and with the new tires and wintery mix I'm getting about 15-17. I'm sure its partially due to my lead foot.

I'm actually super impressed with these tires. I went to a parking lot to do some donuts and couldn't even get the tires to break free without disengaging traction control. This rubber is as sticky as it gets in snow. Its really impressive. I haven't had to engage 4x4 once since I've got them.

 

Teaser.

 

Keep them pics coming! I know what tires I'm getting next.

 

265 75 16 on stock suspension. Awesome tires!

 

Drove up to the In-laws house yesterday, nearer to the Columbia River.
The street was close to being as slick as a skating rink! The Falkens did great at slow speed on the ice.

2.5 to 3 inches of mostly ice in the bed from freezing rain with some snow.
Calculated possibly in the 250 pound range or more, bringing the rear end down a bit, so almost leveled.
I should have measured then. Half of it has already melted.

 

Not sure which tire, but I will be going with the stock size.

 

Pretty sure I'm going with the Falkens. Just wondered if there's any difference between the 70s and 75s other than size.

 

Was looking for E-Load as they are more resistant to punctures. I think 265/75/16 - 265/70/17 is the perfect size for this truck.

 

After getting the new shoes put on today, these puppies arent going anywhere.

Love these my choice. Not second guessing it now.

 

42 vs 44 pounds is the biggest difference I see.

 

Same here. Don't believe there's any difference in the makeup of the tire.

 

The other 265/70/16 tire I am interested in is the Goodyear DuraTrac. On paper, the A/T3w wins out as far as I can tell (other than tread depth).
Falken A/T3w: UTGQ 660 A/B, warranty 55,000 miles, weight 42 pounds, tread depth 14/32"
Goodyear Duratac: UTGQ 500 B/B, warranty 50,000 miles, weight 44 pounds, tread depth 16/32"

 

265/70/16 is a 112SL; exact same size and load rating as stock
265/75/16 is a 116SL; has increased load capacity as a function of increased size

With a 265/75/16/116SL you can obtain the same load capacity of a 265/70/16/112SL at reduced PSI; 27 PSI vs. 30 PSI.

Good info. Thx!

 

Duratracs are good tires. They do get pretty loud though.

 

265/75R16 P about 5k on them handles mud pretty good did not notice any mpg loss either!

 

Are those at3w?

 

Yes

 

Do you have a lift or stock? Rubbing?

 

Rubbing?
