ALL NEW Falken Wildpeak A/T4W Tires in the 35x12.50R18 Size - Best New Tire of 2024?

3-ply Duraspec sidewalls, new rubber compound, more rigid tread blocks, next gen Heat Diffuser technology, and a tweaked look. Is it enough to keep Falken as the king of all-terrain tires? We'll find out! #falken #tires #offroad

[@4-LOW]

@falkentire You guys should give us a raised white letter version ;)

[@mountainsintomemories]

I second this!

[@underabigsky]

Unless u wheel one weekend not much white lettering left. They do look cool.

[@johnheath4305]

Listen but ignore 😊

[@Jassman3536]

Agree on the raised white letter and Falkin's are the best tires made to date

[@joshuaw2988]

Think these will be the ones I’ll get, but 450 a tire at discount tire for the 295/60r20 got me sweating lol

[@texaswrapanddetail]

Depending what vehicle, go 295/65/20 $385 tire

[@ronaldcobbley9668]

Very nice tires they will work very and perform the way they need too

[@armygreenfj3924]

Wish they would of came out with a white letter option

[@rvboondocker2559]

I get my 6 in two days. Excited!

[@JMHDKDKL22]

Great video, I followed your link from FTE, new subscriber! I also think the AT3W is the best tire I have ever ran.

[@CampusautoCo]

Nice video. I am doing my AT4W video today!

[@DB-qm4jx]

I agree about the siping on the sidewalk lugs. Definitely prefer it with the symmetrical lugs on the side.

[@shawnharvey9341]

I’m looking for a good tire to put on my dually, I haven’t seen these on one yet. I really like the look of the AT4w’s

[@supporterofsanity]

Raised white letter? Maybe on a retro build. So far I don’t see any reason to upgrade from the AT3w’s. Look forward to your review.

[@alexs825]

How does the compound compare to the at3w since the compound change? People mention around 2020 compound changed. I have 35s on my Tacoma and they leave a lot to be desired on snow covered roads. Fishtailed pretty bad in 4wd hitting a slick spot but I was going 45 mph. Good in loose snow and wet snow. They also slid a bit in Moab…more than my buddy on his same exact tire but bought 1.5 years earlier. I wonder if the compound is just the same updated one which is harder and provides less traction. Mine don’t seem to be wearing at all but the truck is really light for the ratings too off-road problems

[@getinthespace7715]

Got a version of the AT3W's on my ram 1500. Great on Ice and snow. Got 50k miles on them. But will be ready to replace them this summer. AT4W's might be in my future. 34's and 35's are EXPENSIVE though.

[@Frankandbeans250]

How are you liking your Falken Wildpeak RT’s so far? I just purchased a set in 275/60/20 and they’re a little louder and heavier than the AT3W. But great otherwise.

[@OneLeggedStormChaser]

I’ve noticed on this new gen that they got rid of the 3d canyon interlocking sipes on those outer blocks, now just straight sipes. This definitely makes me a little nervous that these may be not as good in the snow & ice as the excellent predecessor

[@tedwarkentin2211]

Is the compound in the AT4W tire the same as the RT01 compound?

[@fernandomartin624]

For the gladiator I'm thinking going 35*11.50r17 instead of 12.50 what's your opinion on that?

[@Markericak]

COOPER DISCOVERER AT3 XLT Can you try these?

[@adxangeles7842]

I did a little research and found out that this is an overall better tire than the KO3 but the weight, KO3 is lighter.

[@peteeberhardt3769]

What I am most curious about is their performance on the ice and in the wet. Hopefully it will, at the very least, be the same but I am hoping for better. Really, really hoping it is not worse.

[@thewhiskeycowboy-official]

From what I have been seeing, it's not as good... not bad, but not as good.

[@dee151]

How would these perform with gas mileage on a 31" tire?

[@Jc-bo1uu]

I don’t know, the new open country R/T trail hold the road really good and they hold and grip the road putty good. And they don’t have have a bunch of sipping on the trade and they don’t cheap or have chunking on the trade either. And they handle really good in snow and ice too, and there not 3 peak snow rated but they still do very well in snow and ice. And you don’t need a 3 peak rated tire in though states. You just need to keep tire chains or cables in your vehicle. But I have yet to chain up my truck with the Toyo R/T Trails. And they handle pulling my 12,000 pound trailer with no issues too. And they are very quiet on the road.

[@kevinstarski1598]

Falken still not making 3 ply (sidewall) tire in my stock 265/75r16...not even RT...Toyo RT Trail is 2 ply (in my size) and new Goodyear Wrangler Duratrek RT is not even found in my size...Not sure why Im trying to find an alternative to my (now even more likely) future purchase of Mickeys Baja Bosses.

[@noosh8316]

Great video! Is this specific size a Load Range E or F?

[@4-LOW]

F

[@noosh8316]

Thanks. It seems like hardly any manufacturers are making 35” tires for 18” wheels in E load rating anymore. I don’t need the 12 ply weight rating for my truck.

[@BROCK_WARHAMMER]

I hear that tire companies are now incorporating silicone into their compounds to help with the softness. It allows for them to have long lasting tires (based on tread wear) that also retain a great amount of grip. Idk if the AT4W has a new compound with silicone or not but it’s a possibility. Not to mention the full tread siping which everyone is including everywhere on the tire which definitely helps in cold and wet environments.

[@gkcamden9050]

You may be thinking of silica. Increased levels of silica help the rubber compound remain soft and rubbery and not transform the tires into rock-hard hockey pucks when temperatures drop below freezing. That and the sipes (little slits shaped like lightning bolts ⚡️) help tire companies to make tires that qualify for the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) rating.

[@4-LOW]

On the A/T3W, the standard sizes were silicon infused rubber compounds but the LT sizes weren't I don't think. At least not as much. Unsure how the A/T4W compound is created right now. Hope to find out!

[@mblake0420]

I like Goodyear duratracs, haven't found a tire that performs in all conditions like duratrac and they are lightest lt tires

[@4-LOW]

I've reviewed 2 or 3 sets of those over the last 13 years. All of them performed extremely bad in rainy weather. They're also noisy. Goodyear just released a new RT version of those to try and fix some of the problems with them.

[@jefftesch7478]

Duratracs were the worst All terrain’s I ever ran. Loud and absolutely terrible in the on wet and in the snow.

[@mblake0420]

@jefftesch7478 they are the best tire on the snow and I've never had a loud set at all. That's why they are so good, snow traction, mud traction, low noise and light weight

[@mblake0420]

@4-LOW I didn't see the same problems. I've had 3 sets, and I've only owned 4x4s, I live in the mountains and it snows. They are the best tire I've found and I've tried them all as well.

[@jeffkonst25]

@@mblake0420I’ve been searching for a new set and feel like half of what I read say they have horrible wet traction. I know these are peoples opinions and everyone drives different vehicles and have different tendencies like heavy on gas hard on breaks and so on. But to me they look like they would be everything and more for all weather conditions. I love the look. Reading a lot of them Is what worries me about pulling the trigger. I live in Buffalo, NY so we see everything sometimes in the same week lol. I don’t live in the city, outside of it and also have property to hunt/camp. I did notice though only in a couple sizes but a review of the K03? If this will be a new release wonder if they changed anything to fix the wet traction problem complaints they were receiving? Just wondering, I know shit about nothing lol, why I’m on forums and watching these videos of people with actual experience and knowledge. And asking guys like you your thoughts.

[@LvDirtJunky]

You need to give the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss At’s a run ….. I think you’ll have a new top tire

[@kevinstarski1598]

That's what Im going to have to get because seems like everyone else either doesnt have my size (stock 265/75r216) or they are not 3 ply

[@4-LOW]

That's one of the few Cooper-made tires I've not tried. But most of the Cooper stuff is all very similar. Just a different look. I just found out recently that Goodyear bought out Cooper, so odds are the quality will go downhill now.

[@LvDirtJunky]

@@4-LOW I hope not , put them on my wife’s power wagon . Been an amazing tire so far …

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@4-LOW The Yokohama GEOLANDAR AT XD G017 is also a good option and fairly newly available.

[@adrianbjones]

Trouble is that not many of the sizes actually have the 3-ply sidewalls. Why won't any manufacturer give us a C load with 3 ply in all sizes? Maybe the BFG K03 if we ever see it?

[@jcart011]

Is the siping full depth?

[@4-LOW]

I don't know that it's full depth, but it is deeper siping than a lot of A/T tires have.

[@lewisgarland4025]

Nitto has it as well my ridge grapplers have a 50 k warranty and this is my second set

[@Bacnow]

I almost bought some! But, alas, they are too heavy (compared to other brands) for my needs!

[@johnsilver7150]

I remember did you have Falken tires that were out of round, purchased from Simple tire ? Raised white letter is old fashion like pim stripes.

[@4-LOW]

The new R/T was out of round BAD. Got those from BB Wheels online and they were no help to me at all!

[@charles17508]

Ko2s smoke these in weight and weight makes a big difference when balancing sucker fish 🐟

[@johnathonuncapher7523]

god i cannot believe tire prices today. $1800 for a set of these installed on my f150.

[@jeremy8715]

Looks more like a 12" wide tire (section width) 12:11

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

Why change things that work I hope they got the 3w

[@kyleharvey433]

I heard the At3w will be discontinued soon so get them from discount tire before they are gone.

[@1020donny]

Why not even mention that these are made in Thailand and not the USA?

[@rjnoj-xb5kq]

They are just so heavy.

[@fatfreddyscoat7564]

That ring running all around the tyre below the shoulder looks absolutely awful … it looks like a stuck-ok retread has been undertaken. Aesthetically this tyre is a huge step backwards and this WILL cost them a lot of sales.

[@dubious6718]

Just more talking, no testing.

[@kevinr.9896]

Its too heavy

[@JR-ut1yx]

Agree that is one ugly tire😮

[@alexkova2563]

Unproven speculation on a tire you've never even tried is a terrible way to review it

[@4-LOW]

You would be right, if this was a review. But, it wasn't a review. The tires aren't even on the truck yet. The review will come soon. The point of the video is to give folks a look at the new tire, with some discussion included based upon my 30 years of experience with off road tires.

[@erichernandez2732]

@4-LOW Great review on tire specs. A/T 4W- (load range-F ) 12ply Plus 3ply- Duraspec sidewall protection.

[@lewisgarland4025]

They don’t have enough side and shoulder tread it’s more a ford Ranger Chevrolet Colorado tire
