Falken Wildpeak AT3W vs. Duratracs

OP what did you buy?

 

I've had the AT3s on for a year...LOVED them. Wear awesome...zero road noise, super smooth. Best balancing tire I've ever owned. I came from Duratracs.

I just swapped them for the MTs....as I'm going to be doing the Red Clay Rally next month...we'll see how they are compared to the all terrains.

 

I've had my AT3s for about a year and 12,000 miles. Still look, sound, and ride like new. I'd buy them again.

 

Sorry to bump this old thread but I am stuck with the same decision, Wildpeaks or Duratracs. Those of you that love the Wildpeaks are you running the SL or E rated?

 

I'll bump as well. I have Duratracs now, getting close to needing new tires. 6 years and over 55k miles on the DT's so I'm pretty happy with how long they lasted, how they look, how they performed. I will say that in rain on canyon roads in the corners, my rear end seems to be a little more loose than I'd like. And I wouldn't mind a little less road noise. Have been considering the Wildpeaks for my next set, just wondering what sort of lifetime people have with them. 55k is awfully hard to walk away from, have been great tires.

 

SL Rated here

 

I got 56k out of my first set of wild peaks I could have ran them more but wanted to swap them out before winter and when there was a sale

 

I'm rolling Wildpeaks currently. They are pretty quiet on the street and are wearing well. I've heard that the Duratrac's do pretty well in snow. Wish the Wildpeaks did a little better in snow, but they do get the job done...

 

That's a weird looking Tacoma.

 

The Tacoma has STT Pro's...

 

I pulled the trigger on the Wildpeaks 265/75/16 SL load. Got them for 115 each so it was hard not to get them. Only been a week, but I love them so far.

 

I just ordered. And by the way, if you're ordering online America's Tire won't let you order unless you have a vehicle that comes stock with them. I couldn't make it to the store in time to pay in person and wanted to get the discount. So apparently I'm buying these for a Silverado 1500 truck.... $818 with the certificates.

 

mtnears, Thank you for your purchase. We apologize you couldn't order them online for your vehicle, if you encounter this in the future you can reach out to us in a PM. We're happy to set-up an order for you.

 

In your experience, which tire is best suited for what needs?

 

And the dude above that said Duratracs strong point is off-roading... idk. I've heard/seen/witnessed a lot of them getting sidewall punctures on trails. I'm inclined to think the AT3W are just as good or better on/off road, especially if you get the E-rated ones.

Basically, get the Wildpeaks. Great price/performance/styling.

 

FWIW.. The complaints on the DTs suffering sidewall punctures are the C load ... the LTs do not have this issue..

 

DT, can you match the 114.00 ea deal, at this time? Ski

 

Just seems......The Falkin WP3's have more favorable responses than the DT's

I ended up with GY LT Ultra Terrains for the '05 recently

 

PM coming your way shortly.

 

DT. Can I get them as well for the 114.00? 265/75/16
