Packed with Technology | Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

I'm experiencing the same as you. I just got mine installed last week, same size, SL load. They are at 35 PSI and I've got some crazy bounce. I've never done a chalk test before, but I'm planning on dropping the PSI a bit here soon to maybe around 32 or so to see if it helps smooth it out a bit.

 

I have 265/70r17 SL load. I experimented a bit when I first got these installed. I settled on 30 psi for my winter weather and as the tires warm up they get to 31 or 32.

 

Do you guys fell like you feel the road more with these tires? I have about 1500 miles on mine. 265/70r17 standard load. On certain parts of my commute I seem to feel a shake only sometimes, and at varying speeds. Sometimes I feel it during stop and go at slower speeds, and sometimes I feel it on the highway at higher speeds. It doesn't feel like an out of balance shake but more like a hop if that makes sense. Feel like the whole truck has this shake when it happens. Its very minor but just curious if anyone else notices this. I have read a ton of balance issues but it just feels like I feel more of the road. My previous tires were cooper adventurer(budget pepboys tire) I feel like they were much smoother but I never had them in cold weather either. I have cold tire pressure set to 32 front and 30 rear.

 

Man when did these get so expensive, I remember buying them for around 100 bucks a piece a couple years ago. Now that it's time to replace them they are 180! For that price I might as well explore other brands.

 

$180 USD doesn’t sound bad. I had to pay $250 CAD each for an SL here in Ontario. LT was $300+

 

Picked up 5 of the 265 70 17 SL on sale for $150 each off Amazon and I couldn't be happier! I think they're like $170 now.

 

Looks sick. Are those FN FX wheels? Matte gunmetal? Or OEM toyota?
Also what load rating tire did you go with?

 

These are OEM wheels in glossy grey.
For the tires, they are 115T. Is that the right thing? I don't know much about tires.

 

Just caught a drill bit in my falkens. Barely made it to discount tire. Brand new tires too!!!

 

Yes the 115 r correct. That’s what I got from Discount tire direct

 

I had the same thing. Found a long screw through mine right between the tread. I just had a local shop plug it. Sucks when your tires literally have 2K on them

 

It was a brass drill bit!!! Discount tire plugged it for free. Back on the road. Pays to order from discount tire direct. The warranty is a tread warranty. It was great they got me in & out in 2 hours

 

Yes it definitely pays to order through discount and get the warranties. Had a big ass bolt puncture my tire and almost come out the side wall, luckily was 10min from a discount tire shop, made it there before it could go flat. Was a newer tire and got replaced with a new tire

 

So far I’ve pulled a 5” deck screw from the side of the tire, a sheet metal screw out of one of the lugs and countless rocks. These tires kick ass.

 

Hello all, I had a set of LT265/75/16 put on my TRD OR. Is anyone running these? What psi are you running? Thanks!

 

That's what I am running. Guy who put them on set them to 40ish, I experimented and had them at 32 and it seemed good. Dealer pumped em back to 34 and they get to 38 once warm. Might be a little too firm still but I am too lazy to fuck with it right now.

 

I don’t know how u off-road guys do it! I don’t think I could go with 16” rims. They seem so tiny. Does the SR5s have 16” rims too?

 

2010 SR5, yes, 16 inch

 

After 11,645km (7235 miles) my SL Wildpeaks have worn from 14/32 to 10/32. Hoping it tapers off and they wear a bit slower in the lower portion of the tread but I guess we'll see!

 

While I personally have 17" wheels, the argument is that the smaller wheel = more tire, so better to air down with a larger contact patch off road and on rocks, better float in mud, etc. etc.
