Packed with Technology | Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

So I read through falken's warranty and it seams that it is only valid if you have proof of rotation. If you do your own rotations what are you supposed to do?

 

same question here.

 

Yep I do my own rotations religiously. Already talked to @Discount Tire Direct and I'm on their quick west list and they said they will honor the warranty once I get down to 4/32nds tread, I have to call and take pictures of the tread and tires and they will credit the money off my next set of tires. Mine are perfectly even all around no cupping! I check the tire pressure 2 times a week and keep it at 35 psi!

 

This must be a P load issue, my LT's started with 17/32 and after 14k I'm still at 13-14/32. Maybe different compounds?

 

Must be! Pretty sure they use silica in the P rated ones and not in the LT ones!

 

So we are looking at about 30000 miles roughly for these tires . I think they are rated for 55000 !

 

I'm figuring I'll make it to somewhere around 20-22k miles. I only have 4/32 to go till they are below 4/32 and I already have 10+k miles on them

 

Side note @ChadsPride must have like super human reflexes to be able to like something 10 seconds after I post hahaha

 

They are, I'll be lucky to get 20k out of them. Seems like every 1,000 miles I put on them I almost loose 1/32nd tread.

 

Man ..... should I go with Falken or Nitto ? This is driving me nuts

 

I've had Nitto's on my Tacoma for 4 years now. Couldn't be happier. That being said, I'm going with the Falkens next.

 

Have Falkens now and probably going Toyo next.

 

After these I'm probably going to go back to my LR C duratracs. Ran a set for 8,000 miles and only 3/32nds of tread was worn off of them!

 

They were a tad noisy but I'll take a little hum over this crazy tread wear, changing tires once a year is ridiculous.....

 

You mean the same set for 4 years ?!

 

Yes...I only have 21,000 miles on them. Put them on my Tacoma when it had 400 miles on the odometer.

 

I had a chance to test these tires out again on a little adventure the other day. Loose gravel roads, light mud, super thick clay mud, slushy snow, some fresh snow, and some gnarly, rocky trail. I was impressed with the traction in all cases other than the really deep clay mud hill that I couldn't make it up. Granted both the other guys with me didn't make it up this hill, I actually made it the furthest and they were both in FJ's with M/T's. (Toyos and Goodyear MTR's respectively, the MTR's are pretty worn though) I am still liking these tires and will continue to provide updates.

LT265/75/16E

 

I just switched over from the General Grabber AT2's to the Wildpeaks last week and I could not be happier. They ride great on the road and have lots of traction in the dirt. We'll see if i get close to the 55K they are rated for but I'm really liking these.

 

Well saw this yesterday.
