255/85 R16 Owners Experience

I have 16x8 0 offset wheels on my truck as well. I've been looking into going 255/85 16's on my truck. What size lift are you running? Did you have to get the cmc? Your truck looks great!

 

where did you find the at4ws in that size?!? I ordered mine from tire rack a month ago and they keep pushing the delivery time back saying they are back ordered. I’m in Virginia

 

I got them from @Discount Tire back in February when there was stock available.

 

dang, I guess I just missed it because now they are back ordered everywhere

 

Falken did a soft release and didn't account for the immediate demand for that size. We saw 80 units dwindle to 0 in the course of 3 days.

 

any idea when more will be available? Not sure why they would do that considering how popular the at3 was ‍♂️

 

Falken has set a solid ETA at late second quarter. So late June.

 

I also got screwed by tire rack today. I’ve had mine on order for 3 weeks and got an email today saying that they are back ordered for an indefinite time. Any other suggestions on what tires to run? I can’t make it to Late june.

 

I’m in the same boat, and I really wanted the falkens. Can’t even find the at3ws because they discontinued them. I don’t want to run an MT either because I do more on road driving than off road and don’t want the noise that comes with those, nor am I doing technical off-roading. Sucks there aren’t more AT or hybrid options for this tire size

 

Seems like I am stuck with either an m/t or the cooper st/maxx which are 70 dollars more per tire compared to the falkens. As well as not 3 peak rated. Or going to a smaller tire size.

 

I know most are looking for an AT but I've got a set of used Geolandar's I'd like to sell.

I actually just ordered a set of geolanders. They seem like a great tire and an acceptable alternative to the at4w, also 4 lbs lighter than an at4w in the same size

 

Yeah, I liked mine but it just became apparent that I was getting no benefit from an MT and all I really wanted was that size but in a more appropriate AT spec. I had also hoped I'd maybe go down in weight by doing that but clearly that's not how it worked out. Unfortunately both me and my truck have been out of commission ever since I got the new tires put on so I can't really even give a good comparison yet. Only thing so far is that the AT4W's are so nice and smooth and quiet. I don't remember a big change going from AT3W to G003 but the change from G003 to AT4W felt pretty big. I think this might just be in my head though.

 

Just got my Wildpeak MT's. 255/85R16. Discount had the best local price. Look great.

 

Thank you for your business and support, we greatly appreciate it. The Taco looks great with the black wheels and rugged Falken Wildpeak M/T's.

 

Shout out to your local store in Draper Utah! Team did amazing.

 

We appreciate the shout out. We will forward your kind words to the store. It's great they where able to get you taken care of.

 

Your truck looks awesome! I'm looking at doing the same size tire on my truck. Are your wheels 16x8 0 offset? Did you experience any rubbing issues with this setup? Stock UCA'S? Thanks!

 

hey thanks! Haven’t been on here in a bit. No CMC required for this setup. I’m on Bilstein 6112/5160 lift. I did run them for a bit on stock TRD OR wheels but they will be tucked with the +25mm wheel offset or whatever they are. Cheers!

 

Thanks! How much lift do you have up front? I have about 1.3" of lift up front and I'm trying to determine if this will work with my current setup. My wheels are the same offset and width as yours.
