Wildpeak vs. Ridge Grappler

Alright, that made me chuckle.

 

Dunlops

 

I don't have experience with neither, but the Fallen tires look BADASS.

 

In person, the Falkens are very impressive. I’m getting mine mounted up either Monday or Tuesday on my new Pro wheels and I’m stoked. @Lt. Dangle and @shakerhood are the ones who convinced me to get the tires, assuring me they were more aggressive in person than in photos, and they were absolutely right. I overresearched the tire issue to death, with the decision coming down to Duratracs and Falkens. The price of the Falkens drew me in but in no way do I view them as a budget tire. They are not. They are just excellent up and comer type tires that are fairly priced. I recall a day when Nitto tires were viewed as budget tires. Tires are simply better now in every way, so gone are the days when only the top 4 or 5 tires are the only “good” tires with everything else being an off brand.

 

Had the wildpeaks on my second gen and put em on my pro. I think for the money they are a fantastic tire honestly.

 

I've been pretty happy with my wildpeaks, as others have said they have excellent grip in the rain. They also have excellent snow and ice traction for a non-snow tire.

I burned thru the first 3-4/32nds of tread pretty quick but the wear has slowed considerably since that. Still, I don't think I'll make 40k miles before they will need to be replaced.

For the price they've been fantastic, the nittos seem pretty cool but for a daily with occasional off-road use they would be way overkill in my opinion.

 

Love my Falkens even thought Im about to jump ship to Ridges due to sizing/specs.

 

I run the Falken AT3’s here in rainy NW Oregon and they are fine for trails and what not, but aren’t for mud...technically no all terrain works well in the mud.

I have been noticing more road vibrations from the ruts the semis make as the tires get older but that is to be expected and I’m OCD at times. I’ve been camping and trail riding with them tons and they do fine. Price is good and they are 6-ply. I run them at 36psi while commuting. 265/75 r16

My next tire will be the Cooper ST Maxx in 255/85 r16 because that is the optimal size for road and off-road in the new Tacoma’s if you have a lift. A tad skinnier actually gets better mileage due to less frictional contact and being a 33” tire they only weigh 3lbs more

 

I love the look of the ridge grapplers and they were on my short list of tires to replace the stockers. KO2's were the other option. For the price I felt the AT3W's were hard to beat, luckily they have proven to be excellent. When the time comes to replace I probably will be between the same Falkens and the RG's.
