Falken Wildpeak Issues

Definitely a good price on these tires. I'm looking at the Hankooks, Nittos, and Falkens. Heard good things about the Hankooks and am currently running the Nittos in 265/65/17.

 

Cooper AT3 4 s ? Or maybe the contintal terrain contact A/T

 

Fallen AT3W tyres here, bout a month on em, no shakes at all.
The Taco is picky about tyres. Depending on lift type, wheels, and condition of bushings, you may find a shake as these AT tyres are a bit more aggressive than something like a Revo.
P rate at 30 psi.

Check your rigs mechanicals.
Not saying tyres don’t have issues, but, there maybe other issues that the tyres have amplified.

 

I've had the Falken Wildpeak AT3s in 265/75/16 for just over 10k miles and had no issues. Also used the Hankook Dynapros on all my work trucks and haven't had any issues with them either

 

Same issue... and came up with the same solution. I will say I like how the falkens felt at low speeds and in the rain. Couldn’t figure out how to balance...

 

Yep, anything below 50mph and they were great. Above that, they wobbled so bad. Im very happy I swapped them for another brand while I still could at discount tire.

 

Cooper AT/3 LT or XLT

 

My Wildpeaks were a wobbly mess on Ray10’s even after multiple road force balances. Now after driving on them for the last few months they are vibration free like they have broken in or something. Idk if I would get them again. Doubt it honestly but they look great great, great snow performance & price.

 

How much is too much weight to balance..?
One of my wild peaks took 3 oz...
The others were 2 or less.

 

I'm having the same issue. Around 65+ mph. Running 265/75r16 on methods. I have re-balanced about 4 times. No wobble for about a week (280 miles), then slowly the cab shake gets worse.

 

Day two and I’m noticing some shake at 70 on the freeway.
Not too bad but definitely there.
May ask them to remount with the yellow dots on the valvestem and rebalance as they didn’t do it the first time when I requested it be done.

 

So I called America’s tire and they said the yellow dot is kinda hit or miss as about 50% of the time the yellow dot is the heavy spot on the tire.
But they told me to bring it in and they would line up the yellow dot with valvestem and then road force balance them free.
So tomorrow I’ll take it in and hope that takes care of it.

 

If they are going to use a road force balancing machine, they should go ahead and force match the tire to the wheel.

 

Thanks I’ll mention that to them.

 

Same issues here. I've tried a lot of different options from reading countless hours on this site. My vibration starts around 45-65.

Since August last year, I've gone through 8 Wildpeak tires. First bought 4 from Amazon, then returned 4 and new ones were sent as a swap. Discount Tire in Lima, OH did the road force balancing twice. I've also had them balanced 2 times before that (at a dealership and a tire shop). Plus, I've had an alignment. Everyone I speak to keeps saying it's my tires, as I've never had this issue until I put my Wildpeak's on. Spoke to Falken yesterday, they said to get my tires changed to whatever I want, anywhere, and send them the receipts proving I changed tires. Also to bring my old tires back home and print my original receipts and swap receipts, they’ll ship them back to their facility via FedEx for free. Said it could take 30 days to get my refund for my first 4 tires, but they will prorate it depending on how much tread is left… They only have about 3k miles on them, so we'll see what I get back.

I'm getting KO2's installed Friday morning.

 

This
I hear lots of people saying they were road force balanced. Makes me wonder if these tire shops are just checking road force and rebalancing or actually force matching the wheel/tire assembly.

I need new tires and hopefully don’t have these issues with whatever tire I decide on.

 

I just spoke to falken as-well. They are going to be sending me new tires. Hopefully all goes well.

Glad you were able to get money back and some new tires.

 

In my case I think they did both

in my case I think they did both. After the fist balance job they did not match the yellow dot to the valvestem as I requested and I ended up with a vibration so they said they would road force them free. They told three of my tires were out of balance so they rebalanced two and the worst one they remounted it with the yellow dot on the valvestem and then it was good. When I looked the first time all the weights were lined up with the yellow dots suggesting that falken was correct saying this is the lightest part of the tire.

 

I had the same experience. I went through several sets of wildpeaks and they all had a wobble from 50 to 60 mph. After a month and eight trips to my local discount tire, I switch to BFG KO2s and couldn’t be happier. I’m really happy discount tire worked with me and I wasn’t stuck with Wildpeaks.

 

I had multiple sets force matched and they still had a terrible wobble. I don’t know what was wrong with the wildpeaks I kept receiving but they were terrible.
