Questions for Falken Wildpeak Owners

Go with SLs. No difference visually and the ride is great. I got 35K out of mine before changing to a different tire (E rated STT). I’m back on Falkens in a 275/70R17 C-load.
STAY AWAY FROM E-rated TIRES!!!! They are way too stiff unless you are super heavy.

 

I had e load and liked them. They are firm on corners and I don't worry about ever popping one. I am getting some c loads on my new tires tomorrow, will have to see if its as big a difference as you make it out to be. But I've had e loads on all my cars for the last 4 years...

 

You are running close to the same setup I am planning, except I’m going with the OME shocks all around and HS 3 leaf AAL.

How are you liking the ride of your 887s? After breaking them in a bit, how much lift did they give you? Did you encounter any vibes or have yo change the front needle bearing with the ECGS bushing? I really like your truck!

 

Very nice! Thank you, for sharing! I’m definitely going with the SL version.

 

I’m running them on my Sport with no problems at all. P265/65-17.
About 5000 miles and like them a lot on highway and off-road.

 

To compound on my post earlier, My truck is heavy. Hence the E loads are fine. My truck is 5800lbs in DD mode without me in it. I weigh 225lbs, so over 6k lbs with me driving. Close to 6500lbs loaded for a trip.

 

I will anxiously await your reply. I think you are gunna kick yourself in the arse for not switching years ago. I know I did.

 

I have the SLs 265/70/16 (stock size). They balanced just fine and after about 3k miles still run and feel like new (as they should). Picked them up last November during a Black Friday sale for $99/ea. Couldn’t go wrong with that. Installed at my local Discount Tire.

 

Have had mine for about 25K... wear has been good so far, and I like the wet and snow traction. But I'm in the camp that has some vibration issues. And when getting on the freeway when cold, they seem to have to warm up to get back "into round". I also drive on a stretch of 10 mile gravel/ unpaved road, and these things seem to throw rocks like crazy. My rear fender flares are torn up (and I don't have much offset & I have mud flaps still)! They were very cheap, and the value is still good IMO, but I'll be trying something different next time.

 

I have the Wildpeaks and really like them.
They are quiet for an AT, look good, grip great.
I had no balancing issues. My set is even made in USA.
I would totally buy again

 

Duratracs have deeper treads and wider voids so they prob have more off road traction than the wildpeaks while the wildpeaks are said to have better road manners. I'm going with the duratracs, would've bought them already if it wasnt for the financial insecurity caused by this virus.

 

Where do people come up with this shit???

 

Because it says it right ON THE TIRE RATING! DuraTracs are only rated at a 500 treadware. The Falken AT3’s are rated at 600. On a comparative scale of tire quality between treadlife, wear, and other factors BASED ON UNBIASED DATA, the DuraTracs don’t stack up that well. Don’t be ignorant get educated...

Damn dude. The way to educate people is not by insulting them.

 

Not his job to educate. There's the info, do whatever u want with it.

 

Some people have thick skulls until they get hit over the head with documented unbiased facts. It’s exhausting how many people challenge every bit of info when people are genuinely trying to help others

 

I have 285/75/16 wildpeak At3w load range E. I love the tires they wear good once you find the proper pressure to run them at, pretty heavy duty and aggressive sidewalls compared to other at tires. I have about 6k on mine, they balanced great. Only issue is they are heavy but that’s what you get with load range E. I go off roading with my friend in a Tj with front and rear lockers he has cooper At3 tires and I have yet to get into a situation where he gets up and I don’t and I don’t have a front locker. Falkens are a great tire.

 

Just get 33s. I wish I never wasted money on 265s.

 

His stocks must've taken a turn for the worst. Lol only explanation

 

Check prices at Walmart, the wildpeak will randomly go on sale for a day(literally can change price day to day) and you can reach out to discount and have them match or beat it. I bought 2 sets in January, 265/75/16 for me at $118 each and 265/70/17 for my wife’s 4Runner at $91 each.
