FALKEN WILDPEAK AT3/W CONCERNS

That's terrible to hear about the AT3Ws. I was considering those tires after my KO2s wear out because they are not good on wet pavement.

 

Ghosted by RSG!?

 

Other than snow its pretty dry in Colorado, well see how it goes

 

Maybe not ghosted but i called 4 times with no answer, never had that happen with them

 

?????

 

Probably didn’t mean to quote you

 

I think you will be Happy with the BFG's. I am running the LT265/75 R16 size in the 10ply and have no issues with them.

 

What psi where you running on average?

 

If you’re asking me, i ran 35 psi all around after a chalk test

 

Good to know, there are always good and bad experiences with all tires, im hoping for a better tire experience this time

 

Discount/America's Tires is a great company. They offer a really nice warranty on their tires, something like $25/per and you can get it replaced for any reason if it goes flat or blows out even if it was your own fault. I always get that warranty on my tires through them, but last time I did not and sure enough I blew out one of my brand new ST Maxx one week later. Cooper didn't do anything for me and I thought I was screwed without the warranty through America's Tire but they allowed me to retroactively purchase it as long as I got it for the new tire they gave me. So I got a new St Maxx for ~$50 and it's protected.

 

Who are you asking?

 

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. I literally just bought my ATW3's..I'll keep a close eye to them now. Thanks for sharing.

 

they were a good tire, but falken can fall in a hole

 

OP @Doozy4212

 

Glad I did not buy these. I remember around 25 years ago when this brand showed up and they were much cheaper than some of the main brands. Right away you could tell that they were not a top shelf tire by any stretch. Appears that not much has changed...SMH

I just got new tires, was seriously thinking the AT3by Falken. Went with New Goodyear UltraTerrians. Seen a lot of mixed reviews on TW about the Falken regarding balance issues. I hope I don’t regret the Goodyear’s. So far so good, only 400+miles, fingers crossed.

 

Yeah, it was a hard pill to swallow but you live and you learn. If i can get 40,000 out of the KO2s with no issues I won't regret the purchase.

Never had balance issues but clearly the construction needs work. I've never seen tires do anything like this and I showed it to my Dad and my Grandad and they both said they never had either. It's a bummer it had to happen but it was a learning experience.

 

Every tire will slip and slide depending on the situation. Got a set of ko2s on my truck then swapped it over to the 4Runner. Currently have 48k on the tires. To me, the ko2s are a great tires. Driving habits will cause a lot of problems with any set of tires.

 

For sure, I have respect for the weather, I drive gentle so I'm not all too worried. Excited to get them on!
