FALKEN WILDPEAK TIRE LONG-TERM REVIEW REPORT | 4-year trial |

I got my first set of Falken Wildpeak tyres in late 2018. I've since fitted them to three more 4x4s including the Dream Tourer, the Range Rover and my current Troopy. These are my conclusions.

I wish they sold 255/85 R16 of this tyres in Australia…

[@4xoverland]

So do I.

[@Keithygeorge]

I use that size with the Toyo MT. I love it.

[@dx80cruiser]

The perfect tyre size, have it in the toyo

[@MarkRose1337]

And they do make that tire in that size

[@Maedetto]

@@MarkRose1337 yes but not for Australia

[@JSJensen]

I fear you don't have enough ks/miles on them to give a long-term review. You've had numerous sets, diluting the distance on each set. So many tires do great for the first little while. It's after 15,000miles/24.000kms where the true value shows.

[@zoezoe610]

I have Falken Wildpeak AT3s on my 200 series and have done 82,000ks on them with much of those ks towing 3T and still have 9mm of tread on them. I will buy them again.

[@MarkRose1337]

Their AT3W are popular as a year-round tire here in Canada. Not as good as a true winter, but one of the better all terrain tires in the winter.

[@steph9445]

Agreed. In Calgary I have K02 on 2 vehicles, and a set of at3w on the 3rd. Id say they’re about the same in performance. The k02s looks much nicer from the side imo

[@Bisonmaczr2]

After running 4 sets of KO2’s on two different vehicles; then switching to Falken AT3W’s, there’s no comparison IMO. The Wildpeak’s outperform the KO2’s on snow and ice. They also lasted much longer. Better ROI. I’m done testing tires and will stick with Falken on all my vehicles. Should mention I have had 3 sets of Wildpeak’s on two vehicles. Currently running 35’s on my truck.

Nice review. That is why I always run one tire line - BFG K02 - on all my Land Cruisers since the early 1990s. Not saying they are the best tire. They just provide me solid and consistent service for my purposes for 30 years. Glad you have had similar experience with the Falkens.

[@charlipetersen819]

I have been running the Wildpeak AT3s on my Amarok for a couple of years now. They have performed absolutely great 👍 both in rocks, gravel, rain and snow ❄️ the only situation where they struggled for grip was on pavement with packed ice - but to be fair only a studded tyre will perform well in that situation..

[@CraigMurphy]

Been very happy with my Falken AT3W on my Discovery 4, zero issues and about 55,000 km on them, still plenty to go. Great tyre.

[@philg2468]

As an outback Australian traveller all my life, I think 4wd tyres are much better these days. 30 years ago, we were fixing punctures every trip. These days we can take a group of 10 vehicles on a desert trip and nobody gets a puncture.

[@shorestyle17]

I've been using the wild peak all-terrain's on my Pajero for the last four years I can safely say they're one of the best tires money can buy I get a lot of compliments on watt tires those are they look great where I live it's very bitchy and Sandy and they perform excellent

[@PeteFromOZ]

Thanks for this review Andrew. It’s great getting your opinion on such an important piece of equipment. Please continue with these reviews when you have such positive experiences.

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and use of these tires. Your integrity shines in the ways you talk about the products you actually use.

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Price and Ks there useless to me unless I know what Ks you get out of them in 3 to 4 years As not all of us buy a new 4wd every 2 years. I use cheap $200 Chinese AT Tyres I get round 55,000ks out of a set Towing a 5m Boat or small wind up Van Ive never had a flat tyre with them in nearly 10 years on my sortys, few different names of the tyres but all Chinese, Done Cape York many times towing and the wilder side tracks, and around 300, 000ks of black top and other dirt roads,.

[@Vanisl4runner1]

I haven’t experimented with Falken’s yet. I’ve been using Toyo, open country AT2 or AT3 for the last three sets, and have nothing but good things to say about those. Previous to that there was some coopers, firestones, BFG and Goodyear. The Toyos and the coopers are the only tire I’ve never had a flat with and up on Canada’s roughest overland route, the Dempster highway, which can be any number of things depending what time of year you drive it, the Toyos held up stupendously. They also held up on the rough tracks of Vancouver island, which our made with blast rock. I’m very interested in Falken tires after this video though, but I’d still want to stick with Allterrains because of the snow conditions we have in Canada. I express your concerns with wet road driving with mud terrain tires, but would like to add that they suffer in snow and ice too. Even some of the ones which proclaim they’re good for mud and snow.

I’ve been buried up to the frame in my 2 door Jeep jk and have been able to claw my way out. I plan on switching to the mud terrain next set. They have been an amazing tire. 50k on them with tons of life left.

I have the Falken Wildpeak AT3W on my 2017 Discovery and I drive A LOT! The first year I owned the car I put about 22,000 miles on it. I LOVE the tires. I've been in snow up deeper snow, mud, rock, sand, river crossing, long long highway trip on pavement and they track sooo sooo well. I will most likely get them again.

[@FJaypewpew]

I chose falken over bfg once I read about the large difference in wetweather performance Maybe next time or in a few years I’ll get a used set as spares if I ever go on a big wheeling trip just to see if there’s a difference but I’m very happy with the falkens so far And my first priority with the tyres was safety and I wanted an all terrain

[@bhi7165]

My Falken AT3 tires have been great for me

[@dadventuretv2538]

Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws in LT285/70R17 C came OEM on my Jeep JTR. Loved em. When I went to 35 x 12.5 R17 E I went with em again. Once again love em. From pavement to beach sand to mountain mud and rocks, they’ve been great. And they have been very good in the snow in the mountains. They actually deserve the 3PMSF rating. Prefer the load range E- bit stronger and I don’t mind more of a “truck” ride. I may never buy a different tire again. Lol

[@frankcavill2206]

I chose these over the BFG's, I've had them on my 100 series Landcruiser for 2 years now and I'm very happy with them, would consider getting a set of the AT's if needed.

[@timokuusela5794]

I used to have BFG AT:s on my Hummer H3 here in Finland. Now I have Falken MT:s. Comparison of the two: BFG:s have better steering feel, a LOT better. Falkens have almost no at all. But, on wet cold asphalt, Falkens, even as MT:s, have astronomically better grip than the BFG AT:s. Perhaps Falkens have softer rubber compound or something, but that just is so. My friend bought BFG AT:s, and after first fall rains, asked me what tyre pressures I use, as he almost crashed his Land Cruiser, felt like ice. I told him that "wellcome to the club"... In the winter, MT:s are almost useless, AT:s are not as good as real winter tyres, studded or not. Falken MT:s are not for novices in the winter, as the almost complete lack of steering feel makes them dangerous. AT:s also have better grip on any kind of snow. But off roading in Finnish forests with tree stumps everywhere, moss with mud and tree roots underneath, the Falkens are just brilliant. The biggest surprice was the noise level, new Falkens were just as noisy or silent as the BFG AT:s. And, here in Finland, the BFG:s are about a third or more more expensive. I would have bought Falken AT:s because I do not use special winter tyres in the winter, but just then they were not readily available. So, great off road, good grip on wet Finnish asphalt that is coarse because of studded winter tyres here (still better than the BFG AT:s), dangerously bad steering feel, great looks, three ply walls, better ride than the BFG:s, and when parked, they get worse "set" than usual, but it goes away when they warm up. Will buy again. Best tyres yet. I have 48 years of driving experience, my other vehicles now are Blazer -79 with lockers ( I made into a Hummer H1 lookalike), couple of Volvo V70:s for my son's family to use, a Taunus -82 (Cortina 5) with 5L V8 I swapped in to replace the 1.6, a VW kit car Bonito, couple of bikes, and a T 55 tank, 2-4 L/1 km ... :D

Interesting. i would ask about the traditional BF. They say it is stronger but a direct comparison...?

Do you have experience of Michelin XZL- probably in 255/100r16?

[@kcspeed9980]

I have used the complete opposite end of falken’s product range, their extremely performance track tires. The common theme with the brand is that they a catering towards the “enthusiast”. I have heard of stores of tires that had manufacturing defects but falken always made the situation right. I am looking forward to getting new sets of their a/t tires for my 4Runner and Chevy 2500 to replace oem equipment that is just sub par. Keep up the great videos, I hope falken reaches out to you, from the reps I have met an track events they are wonderful people to work with.✌️

[@janhbhugo5085]

Andrew thank you for this report ! I have found it very helpful and informative !

[@Lordoftheflatbush]

Just bought a set of 5 of these 35 inch bad boys for my 2002 Lexus LX470. First impression: very aggressive look, softer ride (compared to BFG AT same size), zero vibrations. Price of 5 including mounting: €1966,- which is crazy expensive. Update after 5k: fuel consumption is up by 20% which is way more then expected. Tyre noise is much louder then expected when compared to Grabber X3 I had before. These tyres are really rough and rugged. Biggest drawback: they are extremely heavy. Like 10lb PER TYRE compared to the BFG AT’s in same spec. Don’t underestimate the extra strain on your suspension. UPDATE: I sold the Falken MT’s and switched to pizza-cutters: 235/80/17 Yohokohama X-AT

[@kevinstarski1598]

Pizza cutter 🤔

[@incomingshell3268]

I found them useless in the wet on bitumen roads....Almost dangerous, absolutely no wet weather grip.....So I would agree, but when are you most likely to lose control and have a serious prang, It will often be in the wet....I've had other aggressive tread tyres that haven't lasted as long, obviously a softer compound, but they weren't as terrible in wet weather..

[@benmmm7359]

That’s what Andrew stated. Also, the clue is in the name. Their AT model is much better for the blacktop.

[@Splagnate]

I have the AT3W’s and they are the best tyre/tire I’ve ever owned! They have a 50-55,000 mile tread wear warranty but have put at least 40,000 miles on them and have more than half left! They are a brand I trust now.

[@peterj5751]

It’s interesting that many people complain about the KO2s wet weather performance on road because I have found them to work very well for what they are on. Landcruiser 200 series on wet and dry roads. Maybe the weight of the 200 series just works with them better on-road. The comparison with the Falken MT and the KO2s on-road is very interesting to me.

[@peterj5751]

@@landrover1155 true, the 200 series has AWD and is a much more modern design than a 70 series but I’ve read similar comments about the KO2’s wet braking on other vehicles like the JL wrangler and the Ranger Raptor. Yet on my 200 series and my Prado before, I have found the KO2 to be at least comparable to other less aggressive AT tyres. Of course, they cannot compare to higher performance road tyres but then 3 ton of Landcruiser can’t stop anywhere as quickly as a lighter sedan anyway. My comment was really only trying to add some counterpoint to comments about the KO2 having particularly poor wet braking as compared to other similar tyres because that isn’t my experience. Suffice to say, that if the Falken MT’s match the on road performance of a KO2 with better off-road performance and a cheaper purchase price, I’d be exceptionally happy with them next time.

[@mikeedwards1682]

Funny you say we need to pay attention when driving on mud tyres in the wet. We have no control over the other drivers in the wet which create these emergency braking situations 🤔

[@haydenmtb4lif791]

The falken tyres are made in thailand now, will never be as good as the ones that are made in japan😢😥

[@kiho1995]

I've run two sets of at3w and can't fault them. Like your set I may have had one puncture but for roughly 70k km and going into the local tip numerous times (probably 3 or 4 trailer punctures) and the general abuse I dish out they just work well. Wet grip is something I've found to be quite good and they also seem to perform admirably in the mud for being an all terrain. I'm going to run another brand for the next set but only to see what the competition has to offer.

[@kevinstarski1598]

Where did he say he had a puncture?

[@johnwalker3263]

[@architypeone8646]

Running Falken AT3w's, (285/70/17's), on my 2000 4Runner and I've had zero issues for 30K miles. Did several trails on the Alpine loop in Colorado and was astounded at their grip, (at 20psi), and crawled over every obstacle without a problem. They have been excellent in the rain, snow and ice. I have not had them in deep mud, but they are fine in moderately muddy situations. I have a fairly steep hill to get to my house and I don't even need 4wd in packed snow and patchy ice to climb it. I will be buying Falken's when this set wears out, but they still have 50% tread depth....might be a while.

[@robertpao2931]

Happy to hear this review. Did lots of research before purchasing Wildpeak AT’s for my daughters Renegade. She does not go off-road but we wanted something good in snow. They track nicely and are pretty quiet. Happy so far.

[@nirfz]

If she doesn't go offroad and you want something decent and safe for winter driving, why not fit winter tires? Winter tires from reknown manufacturers are magnitudes better in winter conditions than any allterrain you can find. As a european the fixation on all terrain tires for onroad use throughout the year is a mystery to me. (they are worse than summer tires for half a year on road and are worse than winter tires the other half of the year, and aren't much better than running winter tires during summer on road.)

[@seanstenberg1559]

Thank you. A very thoughtful, and well delivered review I choose to trust! I’ve come to discover with extensive online searches and actual real-life conversations, this is a tire brand to purchase next. I’ve been a loyal BFG guy for decades now. (Dang! Decades…?) However, this specific video of yours solidified my decision to make the change! True Outback and beyond!! I’m from Northern California, but have been exploring my state’s deserts, mountains, beaches, and areas way further eastward. Thank you again!

Would be even better to have these Falkens in that size.

Great review Andrew - was tossing up between Toyo AT3 and Falken AT3W and, after watching your video and also the comments from other Falken owners, I will now be ordering a set of AT3W's - Thanks

[@johnossendorf9979]

I have respect for his point of view but it has very little to do with conditions here in New York State. It was - 10 farenheit /- 23.3 centigrade here this morning. We haven't had much snow here so far this winter but a few hundred miles away at the East end of the Grat Lakes the lake effect snow has set new records. I know from personal experience that I will always choose an AT over a MT for moderate Offroading and on road driving when ever snow and cold temperatures are a part of life for half the year. Most 4WD's do more snow plowing than Offroading in my area. Now a days I have two sets of wheels. Since I do almost no Offroading now, one set is shod with snow tires I purchased last year and the other with my old snow tires that I'm running for one maybe two more summers then it's Michelin Defender LTX LT Allseason tires for summers from their on out.

[@holden3083]

👍. Thanks for the update & honesty. Much appreciated. Why wouldn’t u mention the other tyre brands that had flats on the run? It’s not as tho your giving them a bad wrap, they got a flat…. There could be a 100 reasons y.. as we all know what’s written on the box / label isn’t exactly what we pay for or even get…. & now that the prices of everything going up & becoming quite ridiculous. It’s good to know in this case the other brands & where they a mt or at tyre? One of the reasons I listen to advice from people like u. Who use their gear in the real world & not just from a table or armchair. Hope your next trip goes better then the last. Oh by the way. How did that issue with Toyota warranty go?

[@LoneWolfOutdoorsChannel]

[@4xoverland]

they are noisier, will get less mileage and grip in the wet is poor, but are they are far stronger with better traction in most off road conditions.

Thanks for the review Andrew Some queries... 1. Which of the two sets (wide vs narrow) performed best in the environment. 2. How would you compare the BFG with the Falken (excluding the price though over here it's not that bigger difference. FYI Falken tyres are available here in SA. though it seems to be more focused on the AT than the MT. cheers.

[@rojphe5080]

On my second set of Wild Peak A/T3 285/75R16.Currently have 25000 + klm on them ,rotated at every service 5000 klm and have only lost 2 mm of tread from 14 mm brand new. Combination of bitumen, gravel and off road around central queensland and the gulf. The AT3 have handled everything I wouldn't even consider changing to the MT. The first set had done 65000 + when removed and probably had another 15000 klms in them going on the wear rate.

[@davidmilledge221]

Because my rig unfortunately spends more time on the black top I use toyos cause I work 4 a living and drive it to work in all weather conditions 6 days a week so I need a good reliable budget tyre that's still good for 4wd on them lucky weekends that come around not very often

Had one stake last year off road at Cashmere Downs on the north side of Lake Barlee, fitted a single plug, then climbed Mt Forrest and Mt Elvire and it is still going. Also changed out my factory-fitted spare for the same Falken tyre several years ago, but I haven’t had to take a wheel off the vehicle in anger. Touch wood… May try the MTs, but AT seems to be fine for my needs.

[@AirsDream]

Thanks for the thoughtful review. My Jeep Rubicon JL Unlimited came with Falken MTs on it. Yes, pavement wet grip / ice grip is not the greatest. But this vehicle lives on a Wisconsin farm and spends a lot of its life in low range, with diffs locked: off road, sand, dirt, rock, mud, deep snow, over logs, the tires are pretty unstoppable. Zero punctures, so my plug/compressor kit sits in the back, virginal, unused, but ready. Wear? Can’t tell yet … got about 35k miles on ‘em and I’d say they’re good for another 20-30k. (but likely won’t) consider replacing them with ATs when the time comes, just for on-road noise reduction … I’ve rented several Jeeps with ATs in western U.S. - in e.g. Death Valley, and they’re MUCH quieter on paved road than are the MTs. But then again, I’ve never gotten stuck while on pavement; I’ll trade on-road quiet to get off road traction most any day!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Thanks for the upload - these are super popular these days so good to see a real world report

[@damongroves6130]

Interesting, My tyres are 245/75r16 cooper st maxx's and my p38 hasn't had any issues with traction loss on wet roads (or anywhere else for that matter) but has some chunks out of it over the past few years of ownership including a good amount of Tassie mud/rocks. As I understand it a softer compound reduces the wear life of the tyre but allows more effective grip. Which given (as you mentioned) I, like others, look forward to the purchase of new tyres seems like a win win for me

[@ruboaris]

You should look into Mickey Thompson BAJA BOSS A/T in 255/85R17. I think you will like them. They are made by Cooper and it's the only tire available in that size.

Love my 255 80 R17 falken AT3W. They have been great on the road, snow sand and rocks. Very popular tire in the US

[@ldsk938]

unless you have contacts the general public is not aware of you might have a difficult time finding the falken MT in south Afrika. But if you do would you be so kind and tell us where you did happen to find them? thanks for the video, its always nice to watch your content.

[@mattsstuff1268]

Since Andrew won't say, did anyone else notice the tire brands sported by the other overlanders who had tire troubles?

[@fisherman6794]

Just be careful when purchasing and buy the light truck at3 tyre. The LT are stronger and come out with deeper tred from factory. I stuffed up and got the standard at3 and got 30k from them before they were warn out and also had 3 punctures in that time. I looked after them as well with rotations, alignments, pressures etc. My friend has the LT ones, although noisy, he has had no punctures and he's at 60k on them now with plenty of tred left

Hi mate just wondering what brand of jacket your wearing in Ur vid thanks

[@MrCharrrles]

good timing for me I don't care much about tyre brands but I think I'm sold on these but probably the A/T version

[@rvboyett]

I had the AT3Ws on my last Jeep and the Wildpeak MTs on my current Jeep. At some point I'll go back to AT3Ws because I just don't need the MTs and the AT3Ws lend themselves well to on road driving. I've also found them to be extremely impressive in rain and snow. I also have a Rivian R1T pickup. It has the 34" Pirelli Scorpion ATs but they haven't been nearly as impressive. Fortunately Falken makes a tire that fits my Rivian. I'll be getting those at some point.

[@marcusrwalker]

I have the Falken MTs and never had a puncture and I go off road and off track a lot. I just wish they made the size I wanted, 285/75 r17

[@discoveringwa2204]

You crack me up, I put my heart medicine second, my heart has had an overhaul and pretty good.

[@leftcoastoverland8750]

So you’re saying you prefer the Falken M/T to the BFG Km3?

[@overlandturtle4630]

Totally agree. My previous Toyo A/T tyres hopeless on the asphalt in the wet. Actually deadly. Fitted Falken A/T great tyres and excellent in wet. They also wear better. Will buy again.

[@RoyFJ65]

I agree with you that tires are the most important aspect of overland driving. Not to mention that it's a long-term commitment that one must live with for a few years. My Yokohama MT G003 has been like that for the last four years and 16000km over every kind of terrain possible except for snow.

[@cch201992]

I think the at3s are great I had ko2 and these at3s go at3s was considerably cheaper for a quality tire🤷🏼‍♂️

[@teegugeeno0]

Coincidentally, I just put the 2nd consecutive set of Falken Wildpeaks on my Jeep today. They’re fantastic tires.

[@DocGTO]

We love the Falkens. I run the AT on my daughter's Montero and the MT on my buddies Montero. The Falkens and Maxxis are our go to tires.

[@BriscoelabMN]

I’ve also had good results with the AT3W and the MT in 285/70r17. AT3W is really good in snow and ice. MT are great in gravel. Both are much heavier than other options in larger sizes though. But if they made some tall skinny tires, I’d get them again. Set on the new Micky Thomson Baja Boss AT 255/85r17 now. 35” and skinny! Also really like the Toyo atiii 35x11.5r17.

[@robertlanzetta]

The worst part of buying new tires, is not having to buy new tires.

[@paulvictor9368]

I really really would like to know the other brands of tyres that didn’t held up as well.

[@explor360]

I have the AT3W on my JT Rubicon and they have been pretty decent on some of our longer more severe trips but the issue I have is their weight. They are very heavy for their size and considering most Overlander’s end up installing larger tires that only adds to the degradation of the vehicles braking and street performance. My next set of tires will have a higher profile (70 to 76 series) and will go from a C load rating to an E rating. There are several manufacturers that will fit the bill AND still come in lighter…food for thought. Cheers Andrew

[@blairsmith5]

Can you do a review on the new bf Goodrich ko2 all terrain??

[@grantlouw3182]

I’m having endless balancing issues with my KO2s and the tyre shop has recommended I change to Falkens.

[@steveformosa5191]

Hi I have the Falken wildpeak 285/75 r16 and are one of the best tyres I have had on all my 4 wheel drives

[@JustinWorboysPhotography]

Always thought you were a bfg man Glad to hear the falkens are a good tyre …. Thankyou for the info
