Today on the channel we take an honest look at a very popular all terrain tire on the market: the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. I have had these in a LT35x12.5 on my Toyota 4Runner (35" tire) for the past few months and have used them in a large variety of conditions. Being a hybrid tire, the Wildpeaks have done most things extremely well and in my mind are quite the complete tire. Being a very popular tire, and decently expensive, these tires are in my opinion an A tier tire when it comes to All-Terrains. Weather you have a jeep, a Toyota, or a full size pickup, I hope this Falken Wildpeak AT3W tire review helps you to make an educated choice when picking up your next set of tires.

Thank you for a great review. I am on my second set of 35x12.50 20 AT3W’s, on a 2018 F250. I got 60K miles on the first set and 12k on the current set. I travel from N. Texas to NE Washington state different times of the year, including the winter, across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. The AT3W’s have been by far the best all around tire I have run. They have been awesome on snow and ice and off road on my ranch in WA.

My wife had AT3W put on here 4x4 Nissan frontier and she was happy with them so when my Silverado 1500 4x4 needed new tires I put a set of AT3W on it as well and I absolutely love them. No road noise, awesome grip In all weather and didn’t affect MPG at all. Would recommend these tires to anyone with a mid or full size truck that wants all terrains.

They were very good tires, I tend to do several big mile trips in nasty weather every year. Most of the trips are towing. The Wildpeak tires are the best at nasty, snow, rain and off-road that I have run. That’s why they are on all my trucks. I’m running F-rated 35x12.5x18 on F350. Running E-rated 285x70x17 on my F150.

I bought a set when Falken first came out with these for my jeep. 29in $80 each. Total was 500 something with a lifetime warranty. I ended up giving them to a friend that needed tires. I was moving up in size. I do miss the look and feel of them but they have since more than doubled over the years. Great tire and they still have lots of life on them.

Just put a set of these on my ‘17 f350 and I’m very impressed this far. I’ve always been a KO2 guy but my last set wore out incredibly quickly, leading me to search for other options. Snow performance is my primary motivator for an AT tire, and the AT3W does incredibly well. As well if not better than the KO2 which I found to be the best of the bunch. Tread life is still yet to be seen, but performance so far is exceeding my expectations.

I am on my second set of these tires. I drive an 18 Tacoma (BP51s, NitroGrear UCAs, 488 gears..etc). I live at the base of Snoqualmie Pass and usually go out for about 10ish hours on one of my days off (1-2hrs hwy, 8hrs offroad). These tires are fantastic. They are great on the hwy and especially when it's wet or snowy. I air down to about 9 PSI offroad religiously, and I have never got a puncture, flat or done a bead. I never want for traction, unless it's really deep mud. But for reasonably muddy trails, this tire is great. My first set went to 70,000 miles (I do rotate at 5,000 miles). And I am around 40,000 on my current set. In my opinion, you can't find a better all-around AT tire. And you get what you pay for. When you are on the trail or a really snowy pass, you're not going to care about that extra $200 bucks. But you will care about the extra traction these tires provide.

On my third set of Wildpeak AT3's on a 2019 Tundra. I get about 50k per set so far. They have seen every kind of road and off road condition besides deep sand and slick rock (need to get to Utah someday). I've got lots of tow miles on them as well. My toy hauler fully loaded with water, gas, atvs, etc is around 7500lbs and no issues so far. No road noise and no change to fuel economy for everyday driving. Prices seem reasonable for what you get for your money. Previously ran Ko2's on my rigs but much happier with the Falkens. Great tire at a great price.

I'm on my third winter on my f350. The first winter they were great. I have an incline to my shop and in slippery conditions I could backup in 2wd. 2nd year not so much. Once the tire wears down it gets harder. They're still alright in 4wd but the siping doesn't work as well from the stiffer tread.On the plus they wear like iron. I'm right around 70,000 and slightly over 1/4" of tread left. Almost bought a new set for this winter and was going to run out the ones I have this summer but decided to run them. The tire does stay true, especially on a straight axle. When I take them off to rotate they stand up on their own. The only way to get the best winter performance is to get a winter tire. They just have a lot more sipes and the compound doesn't change. The wild peaks are a decent tire and would buy again.

Great feedback! I am on the same boat as you - you cant replace a dedicated winter tire, especially a studded one. While the Wildpeaks do a great job, they aren’t a “true” winter tire. Though I am curious about the improvements in compound and siping that the AT4W has come out with. Thanks for stopping by!

I also have the OEM/factory 33" AT3Ws (on my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon) -- one day I took a total of 110 pebbles (yes,I counted them) out of them. Amazing. Mine still look god (after just over 3 years of ownership, but only have 26K miles on them) so I'm not sure how long they'll last. But when they DO need replacing, I may get AT3Ws again and pass on the new AT4Ws...unless the AT3Ws are discontinued by then. But also by then they may have AT5Ws! Who knows. ;-) I think they're more @ home in CO (snow/blizzards, occasional rain, mountain passes/trails & forest service roads off-roading)...not so much here in too-hot almost-all-year-long West TX (no snow, little rain, mild off-roading on gravel/rocky/dirt roads and sometimes deep desert sand) -- or central FL (no snow, just rain and NO off-roading to speak of -- I don't do mud!). Yeah, CO is my Gladiator's best home for sure... -- BR

Great question! Realistically, you get a very comparable tire. With the Toyo, you have a little bit of a lighter tire but also not quite as built up shoulder. Both are excellent tires; however, I went with the Falken over the At3 due to the AT3 not quite having the same shoulder design and appearing a little bit less aggressive. Cant go wrong with either!

Falken AT3W owner here. It works very well on pavement when there is snow. However, when it comes to > 8 inches of snow, Falken AT3W does not have good lateral control. I won't get stuck but my steering wheel is out of my control.

Great points! It can be hard to find a tire that isn’t a dedicated snow tire that can perform in those deeper conditions. I’m curious if the AT4W will be better!

It’s hard to say exactly how much it affects it as I can’t control for too many factors, but I’d say it’s about in line with other 35’s!

These are great tires but not my favorite. I ran a set of General Grabber ATX's and found them to be as good or better especially in the snow. Can't say you lose out either way though.

I wanted to put 35’s on my 2022 gladiator Mohave it came with wild peak 33’s, I didn’t want to change the factory rims to 12.5 from 11.5. So I couldn’t get wild peaks in 35’s and did Toyota open country’s, I miss the Falkens wild peaks, they are better in the rain and snow. I made an expensive mistake

No stress! Im sure you’ll get your mileage out of those Toyo’s and have a great chance to move up a size in the future. Until then, drive those 33s hard!

@looseaxles I went with the recommendations as well as the comparisons between the Bah ha bosses against the falken wildpeak AT3. I will admit my Wife was right and I was wrong. I should have stuck with the Wildpeak AT3. But, my next purchase will be the AT4. The only thing. Good about the Bahha bosses was they looked sick. Well looks definitely don't ✂️ it. My truck is a 2017 Ram Rebel. The size of the tires are 285/70-17. Most of these youtube gurus promote the tire company that give them the most cut back.
