Falken wildpeak owners still happy?

Absolutely love the WildPeaks. Don't know where you are, but if snow is a factor they're hands down the best off-road tire for snow I've used.

 

Been running Wildpeaks on Tacoma. Pleased with them so far. I don’t recall what mileage I put them on at but have at least 50k on them. Have them on wife’s 4runner with 55k on them. Will replace again with Wildpeaks.

 

I recently had Discount put on a set of 265/16 Wildpeaks based on stuff I read on here. Discount had great service, low price and no drama. Tires have a nice ride @ 32psi, they came @ 36psi, too high for the weight I normally carry. They's slightly louder then toyota's OEM tires which is to be expected, not annoying like some others. I like their road manners (cornering) and they didn't let me down during allot of recent offroad driving in Utah. My last fill-up was 19mpg around town so no significant loss in MPG but I can tell I'm spinning a little more rubber then I was, it's not significant enough to notice after driving with them a couple times.

 

@ridefreak than you for your business, we appreciate your support. We are glad you are liking the tires.

 

i'm on my second set of wildpeaks, got 52,000 miles out of the first set and they saw everything from silt in baja, to rocky/shale in california, and snow/mud in southern utah, not a single complaint there. they also had a lot of tread left, i just decided to get new tires when i got new wheels for the truck. i will say my new set is much noisier than my first set was, it creates a hum that almost sounds like the engine is at a higher rpm than it is

 

I have run run and really like BF KO2s for almost 10 years, never had an issue in the rain, worked great out in the bush. It was time for some new tires so I thought I'd see what all the hype is about with the Falken, picked up some new takeoffs from a Jeep Gladiator for cheap - 285 70 17 C load.
The Falkens are chubby tires, weighed in my garage a KO2 is around 51lbs, the Falken is 62 lbs, same size and load range.
The Falkens are a bit quieter on the highway, they do ride smooth as well.
I was wondering how they would look mounted up but they don't look too boring so thats good.
MPG is still good, considering I went up 10 pounds per tire, on the highway doing 60mph (speed limit here) I'm around 20mpg, and combined around 17.
Winter is coming so I'll be able to see how it handles snow and ice.
Would I pay full retail for the Falkens, probably not, but Jeep takeoffs are cheap and most of those guys want 35s or 37s off the lot so there are plenty on facebook marketplace, craigslist.

 

What PSI are you guys using to get even wear?

Getting a new set soon and have been running them at 32PSI and had a bit of cupping.

 

cupping typically isn't caused by tire pressure. I run them at 32 also.

Goodyear-Tire Cupping

 

This. Went from Cooper 10 plies. Unless you are offroad in very tough terrain with heavy loads and modified suspension, they make no sense. They will rob acceleration and increase stopping distance/brake wear on DD. The Falken Wildpeaks are a good multitasker.

 

Have about 40-45K on mine. 6/32" left. 50/50 pavement/offroad(no 4wheeling). Rotate about every 6K miles. 35lb all around.
You can tell they are good tires because the price has really gone up since I bought them when they first came out.

 

Are there going to be some good Black Friday deals?

 

Any info on AT4W release date?
I can’t find anything.

 

I reached out to Falken a while ago and asked. This was the response I got via email:


So, maybe late spring 2024?
