    Buying tires today in 265/70/17 standard load.

    Stuck between Duratracs and Wildpeak AT3W.

    Falkens are considerably cheaper and still look badass.

    Help me decide!!

    I've had Duratracs and loved them, but for the money I'd go for the Falkens

    I see you’re 2wd, so probably not doing much off road, which is one of the strong points of the Duratracs.

    :wave: Hello there Montana! From Butte, but I live in Gillette, WY now. Always happy to see a MT face in here.

    Staying on topic though... I've got the Falkens on my rig. Very happy with them. Would purchase again.

    Yeah. I mainly like the look and of AT tires. I’m leaning towards Falkens. Everyone who has them seems to love them.

    Yeah I paid $920 for my set in 2014, load C though. They’re okay on the road but get louder and louder over time. I’m thinking the Falkens are nearly as good off road and better for everyday road use.

    Wildpeak AT3W > Duratrac. I've run both on work trucks and I'll never go back to the Duratracs, especially for the price point.

    A lot of excellent real-world experiences. Both are good quality tires, which one is best for you depends on your needs.

    See Build Page
    How do you like these 2 months later?

    My Cooper ST Maxx need replaced soon. Love them. But, considering 17s and 34-35" tires. The Falkens were recommended to me. Cheaper than the Coopers.

    My Coopers have taken a beating and no issues though.

    Replaced the original Rugged Trail with Falken-Wild Peak. Drove in some rain and mud several times and wasn't disappointed. Only had them on for a little over a week, so too early to give an in depth report. Even this early I can tell you they are better than Rugged Trails. We shall see.
