Falken Wildpeak Issues

Have you used tire wax/restorer (to make it shiny and black) in the past?

I've heard it can damage tires as well

 

do have the date code they were manufactured?

 

Kumho Roadventure AT51 very nice tire.

 

I put Falken Wildpeaks on my 15’ Pro 4X which had a crazy vibration between 65-75 mph... had two different balance and alignments done to try to sort it out to no avail...

Drove me crazy enough that I was done with that truck after six months with those tires which led me to the Tacoma, so I should be thankful to Falken for showing me the way ...

 

That sucks they are rotting in a year, good luck on your next tires!

 

Interesting, here I thought I was going crazy about having vibrations on the Highway! I didn’t have vibrations until I put these on. 275/70R17 C load. Only during 55mph+ I can feel the vibrations. It’s not crazy bad but I can definitely feel it. I’m hoping it fixes itself after getting worn a little. I like how well they’ve performed in the rain, snow and on dry roads. They’re fairly quite too

 

damn. If you have time snap a pic of the date code and check the country of manufacture. Maybe there is a trend. I have one set from thailand and one set from china.

 

Is this just an AT3 issue or all Wildpeaks? I've been eyeing the MTs.

 

Ya. Not from anything iv done. I clean my truck regulary in summer. As i said above. My dad also has 4 wildpeaks. His purchased new in feb 2020. He never cleans his truck. So its not from user error. I know thAt. Will never buy a garbage falken tire again. All the hype everyone talks. I had to try them out. The way it goes i suppose. Bs

 

Thank you going either coopers. Or toyos

 

Best part is that they want me to spend more money on tires before they will do anything. Haha. They can kiss my ass.basicaly telling me if i buy one tire. They will warranty the other 3. And same with my old mans. If he buys one of the tires they will replace the other 3 tires dont even have 15k miles on them

 

265/70/17 - No problems. Ordered from discount tire direct. If u buy falkens off Amazon or other weird places be prepared. Different rims & or aftermarket rims will effect the “driveability.” Toyota installed mine no issues & my drive improved - GL everyone

 

That sucks. You could buy 1, get the other 3 and sell all 4 to help fund your new set.

 

Honestly. I thought that to. But i an 100 percent pissed of with falken. And will not support anymore of that bs. Il spend my money elsewhere.

 

And then i wouldnt have tires. Because they will instal the new wildpeaks. Which i would have to pay to have installed. “Again”. And then i would have to have them removed to sell them. And i wouldnt be able to sell them if its my daily. The only tires and truck i have. So that wouldnt work. To much fckin around. If i had another set of wheels that would be an ok idea. But i dont. Only set i have.

 

How long have you been running them? I would keep an eye on them.

 

3 months so far. I needed a winter snow tire that kept me from getting ticketed here in the Rockys. My wife loves them & they’ve been great in the snow. I hope they go the “extra mile” - I def will keep my eye on them but from what I can tell lots of the issues are with 16” rims/tires?

 

Ya. Not sure. Mine are 17s. And my dads are 18s. I was hoping that to. Because on here and fb. Its what everyone recommends. So sure enough i go to try em out. An just my luck. They are trash

 

I wanted nittos but they stop making the C rated tire. So I got my falken from the flash sale online

 

Kumho Roadventure AT51 comes in 'c' rated
