Packed with Technology | Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

If you had to guess or even calculate, what type of MPG hit are you taking? I have the same truck with the Toyo stock tires and mulling over tire purchases. These tires are almost a good 10 pounds heavier per corner.

 

I would say 1 or 2 MPG but that’s with the winter fuel mix.

 

I love these tires. I bought a set in 265/75 r16 in the standard load. They rubbed a bit on my stock suspension, but a bit of trimming quickly took care of that.

They handled a blizzard we had a few weeks ago with 0 problems. Over a foot of snow through out the course of a day.

 

Yeah I got lucky with free shipping that time. It also helps that I’m in Anchorage.

 

Just found a local place where I can buy 4 of these tires aligned and installed for $900 bucks. Going to check the tire out in person to see if I want
to pull the trigger.

 

Seems a little expensive, unless you are buying 5.

 

Or E rated

 

I wheel.
I will take E over P any day of the week.
I had Toyo A/T 2, P-rated and got a slice in a parking embankment like a razor blade was there. Was that clean. Never found it

I have never had an issue with E rated. And I've put them thru hell.
But I will admit they are louder and heavier but peace of mind is where its at.

 

This $900 price is for 4 tires mounted, installed & aligned. If I order them from Discount Tires they are $730 delivered and I would still have to pay someone to put them on my rims and truck.

 

So it's gonna cost you $170 to get that done?

 

Cheapest quote I got for mounting, installation & alignment is $230 from a local Tread Quarters. So even if I bought the
Wildpeak online you are looking at $730 delivered plus $230 puts me at $960. So I found another tire shop that sells the
tires mounted and installed at $816 so I'm jumped on it. I'm tired of driving around town trying to save a few bucks that I
will spend on gas. Either way going with the Wildpeaks instead of the BF Goodrich All Terrains will save me about $300 bucks.

 

Holy shit man what a rip off! Discount Tire does mount and balance for $64. As far as alignment,I typically don't do it unless it's been awhile. Even then,I've got an alignment guy who does a bang up job for $60.

 

You could always try calling shops rather than driving around burning up gas

 

Did you stick with stock size tires?

 

I'd keep lookin'

sounds wayyy toooo much

 

Hey that’s dirt cheap for me in Alaska! Lol

 

LT265 70 R17 with Method Wheels. At 33 PSI MPG 16/17

 

Yeah buddy I got the Wildpeaks 285/70/17's mounted up on the SR8's today. Like we have all read pics don't do this
tire justice. Just rolled around town today and I really like the tire so far. Should get on the highway some
tomorrow. All the guys at the tire shop were talking about how nice this set up looked.
