BFG's KO2 or Falken Wildpeak AT3W

Thank you sir!

 

The E rated is 10-ply.
Sidewall-2 ply

 

no problem man!

 

I had 265/75/16 ko2s which only come in e. I was kinda forced into getting them and thought they would be ok. I really like the size and didn’t want tthe drop size for c load in the ko2. After a couple months living on a washed out dirt road I was a bit over the stiffer ride of the 10 ply. I also had felt upon my first few weeks of purchase that I didn’t have as much get used and go but I was ok with it. After driving around town and bouncing down my road I decided to make the switch and sell my ko2’s and purchase the Falkens. Within the first day I immediately noticed a little more pickup with the lighter tire and not as stiff with the suspension. I also got a 70 dollar rebate. I loved the ko2’s and n my tundra when I had it, but I am very excited about the falkens. Interested to see how they handle this winter. Also a bit happy in getting a little mpg back as well. Even though I’m not too picky about that. Running 265/75/16 p. Stock

 

Wildpeakes AT3w...

 

Are the Falkens mountain snowflake rated?

 

If no off-road then Atw3 4 sure! P rated!
I've had both now.
Good luck
That is all.

 

Yes
Snowflakes need not apply

 

I just got my Wildpeaks and could not be happier. They look good and seem to be planted in the rain. Still have to test a little more.

 

Looking at LT 285/70R17 AT3W. Anyone using these in the Pacific NW.....my offroad is gravel and blast rock logging roads. Sent an email to Falken; they recommended the LT version. Have a few concerns about tearing and chipping of lugs with the soft rubber. Email stated,"Our tires do not have a cut/chip compound, which minimizes the tire's tread from breaking down over constant gravel use".

 

Currently running 285/70r17 Nitto Trail Grabbers M/T at almost 67lbs a tire on a 2017 TRD Offroad with a OME BP51 suspension plus extras. The weight only seems an issue driving on Hwy through mountain passes(need more power). Hence I don't have issues putting an Lt version of the Falkens on my truck. Just don't want these tires to self destruct prematurely while off hwy.......


At3w look awesome as well as the mt01,

 

Looks great...those OEM TRD Pro's with no spacers? What size tire?

 

Falkens 285/75/17 and currently a $70 rebate on them!

 

I have the Falkens on my 4runner and am very happy with them. They're quiet, comfortable, and very competitively priced! My 4runner is by no means an offroad rig but has seen some mud, light trails during camping trips, and fire roads. They have served me well in the rain as well. I have taken them snowboarding in heavy storms and while they're not studded snow tires, they got me to the resort and back while many either had to pull over or turned back. Going on 15k miles and there's still plenty of thread left!

For my Tacoma, I think I really want to try the Ko2. Only thing really stopping me right now are the E load range available in 16s. I would like to stick with the stock 16s or possibly order a set of 16in Pro wheels.

 

What size are your Falkens and are you running a lift? truck looks good!

 

Thanks!

265/70/17

No lift!

Zero rub after I took off the little front mud flap looking things.

 

Yes

 

Have 2 sets of the Falken’s . 265/75 16 for winter and 285/70 17 summer !

 

Ive had a terrible experience with my falkens. Im getting rid of them ASAP

 

What’s the problem
