Packed with Technology | Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

Those look good man. How have they been on road in the packed snow? I might Go Alaska next, heard it is great up there? What size are those?

 

Thanks man, they do good on the snow, but of course they aren’t the best on the ice in 2wd without a decent amount of weight in the back. Alaska is amazing man, I recommend it. It’s beautiful up here. It’s got a lot of intense wheeling and easy stuff as well. Summer is amazing if you overland.

 

265/70/17 here! Enjoying the tires for the most part. They definitely are louder than stock, which is expected. I've been getting vibes lately on the freeway...thought it was the tires, got them re balanced and they were 'good' so I just got my alignment rechecked as well because along with the vibes, it was pulling hard to the right on the freeway. Turns out one of my tires has a pull to it..shop switched the tires around and then it pulled to that side. Is that something that is warranty-able? My alignment has to be offset a bunch to compensate for the pull now.

Other than that, tires have done great offroad and in the snow I've tried them in.

 

Got a set put on a couple hundred miles ago. For winter conditions (snow and packed snow on road)
They are at least as good as the ko2's as far as stopping and grip. They are not as good as the toyo at2's gripping. The Toyo's are the best AT tire I've used of the three in the winter, they just sling stuff out of their tread very well. They are $50 more a tire on a 16 inch wheel, probably worse as you go larger, so you are getting some benifit for the price increase.

IMO, if you are thinking of these or k02, get these. If you are thinking about this or Toyo and don't mind spending a couple hundred extra, get the ToyoAT2's.

 

I think I am sold on these... I bought some ray10s in 17s and was going to wait for a lift to install them.. seeing the price on these I think I might have to try mounting with 265/70r17 first.
Anyone running the tires on stock suspension without major rubbing issues?

 

Lots of folks are running that size tire on stock suspension. The rubbing will vary depending on the wheels/offset. Stock wheels (+25mm for your stock OR wheels) will present little to no rubbing. Wheels with less offset (negative number) than stock will begin to have increased tire to plastic/frame contact.

With your wheels at 8.5” wide and -10 offset, expect some rubbing on the mud flaps and probably some on the plastic of the front wheel well. A heat gun, dremel, or razor knife will fix the issue.

 

Thanks, I will see where it goes. I might just have to do the CMC necessary before the lift.

 

I’d be shock if you need to go fill on CMC to get clearance for 265s.

 

not so much to just clear the 265s, I am getting a lift next year and go with 285s which would need a CMC, might as well do it now.

A friend of mine will buy my stock wheels and tires for the price of a new set of falkens, was originally going for KO2s, just saw these and they are looking good.

 

Gotcha. Yea for 285s you’ll need to cut it up.

 

Running them on our 4runner, great tire so far, except for the sand....Was expecting a bit more out of them there!

 

Thanks for providing first hand info.
For the price I am going to go with Falken.

 

No problem, I think you will be happy with them, they are a good tire and I don't regret getting them at all.

 

Great looking truck; the Holeshot looks awesome!

As for the pull, yes, this should be covered under the manufacturer warranty.

 

Thanks!

Gonna head down to Discount today and see if I can get a replacement tire ordered.

 

Good to hear man thanks.

 

Sounds good and I'm confident your local DT will take care of you

If we can be of any assistance from our end, feel free to shoot us a PM.

 

whats the MPG with P285 Vs LT285 or P265 Vs LT265 Report!

I have P26570r17 18 highway/15 City
3 in lift Fox.

 

So put about 200 miles on these tires since I got them. p285/70/17.

Thought I'd write something real quick since we got about 5 inches of snow here in Chicago the past 24 hours.

Drove through unplowed streets and freeway today where every car seemed to be sliding all over the place. Even without the 4x4 I was cruising along solid as a rock. Turned on the 4x4 and just passed everyone up no problem. Not even a slip. Super happy with these tires. For 33's shipped to my door for $600 bucks I couldn't be happier. Half the price of the ST Maxx's or Duratracs I was considering.

 

Yes these are very good in the snow. Just wish they came in load range C.
