AT Tire Comparison Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs Toyo Open Country ATII vs Falken Wildpeak AT3W

[@jaredbauer3058]

Falken Wildpeaks are the price/performance leader at this point - hands down. Great dirt and snow traction, quiet road performance, 55K tread warranty, aggressive styling. What is not to like? It seems that the reviewer simply has a personal preference for Toyo or Nitto, rather than providing any real evidence that the Falkens should be avoided.

I just purchased a 2019 Toyota TRD Pro. OEM tires were Nitto P rated RGs. Afte three days, I purchased Falken LT rated AT3Ws. I do not notice any difference in road noise, at any speed, up to 75mph. No issues with balancing. This is my second vehicle with the Falken AT3Ws in both a P rated tire on a 2015 Jeep GC, and now the TRD Pro. Love the tires.

@bdanielcal4608 Well, I see you have nothing better to do than trash me from a comment I left two years ago. Live in Midwestern Wisconsin and have driven in plenty of shit conditions, and have never ended up in the ditch. I was directly comparing two different tires on identical trucks and reporting the differences I observed. The rubber compound of the falkens seems to stay more pliable at lower temperatures when compared to nittos.

To do a tire comparison you can't be familiar with only 1 tire. Thinks that wildpeaks are cheap and only including because other people like them. Toyo has to be the best because I don't stock them, but they own nitto. If anyone's wondering what's on my truck? Wildpeaks, great tire good price!

[@jg4719]

Have you actually had these on your truck? I have run all three tire brands and had the Toyos, a different Nitto (Exo Grappler), and the Falkens on my Tundra. By far the least highway noise is the Falken. The Falken is also far superior to the Toyo on snowy/icy roads and I have run both tires through multiple winters in the high sierras. As far as wear patterns and longevity go the Toyos and Falkens were very good and nearly the same. The Nittos I had were pretty fast wearing and much more uneven than the others. Anyhow, your review sounds like it's based on preconceived opinions of the tires. All three were good tires but when you factor in the very good pricing of the Falkens and superior road noise and winter traction it is the hands down winner. I will be replacing my Falkens with an identical set when the time comes.

[@CampusautoCo]

I have had the G2 but not the Falkens.

[@heavilymeditated2263]

Personally have owned all three tires & on different vehicles. Put them on my 2012 Trail Edition 4Runner & 2018 Tacoma Off-Road both vehicles are 4x4. Have driven them from Southern California through most of Northern Utah & in between. Driven all three in snow, sleet, rain, fast highway speeds in dry weather, fire dirt roads overlanding, heck even on the sand in Pismo Beach, California. All three did what they were supposed to do, BUT there's ONE, for me at least, that stood out the most & after over 150K of driving split between all three. I pick the Falken Wildpeaks. Simply bcuz it did everything the other two tires did, but at all star levels. It's was less noisy, better grip in snow, better performance in the rain, cornering in dry weather (won't say how fast I've taken them LOL) & as a bonus better MPGs. nothing wrong with the other brands. Just that the Falken Wildpeaks AT3 really passed the real life test with me.

That said, the performance on the Nitto has been amazing.

Great video 👍🏻 . I recently purchased the Nitto Grappler G2 tires for my 2016 Ram 1500 sport put on 20 inch stock rims . Once I get over 70 mph - 80 the truck has a noticeable shake . I can see the passenger seat actually shaking. You can slightly feel the shake in the steering wheel. The truck originally came with the Goodyear Wrangler SRA tires and I had a smooth ride . I have friends with the Nitto G2 tires on their Ram trucks with no issues. I thought easy fix the wheels just need to be rebalanced but I went back to the tire shop 2 times and they rebalanced the tires but I'm still getting that shake . Do you had any ideas on correcting the shake ? Tire shop said it's an all terrain tire that's how they are . I've owned numerous pick up trucks and all kinds of all terrain tires on them over the years and never a problem like this . I'm at the point where I'm thinking I'm going to take a $1,000 loss and get rid of these tires that I just purchased in end of October which would be a shame . I feel like I got ripped off 😕. I appreciate any suggestions thank you .

Try your local Firestone, they have RoadForce balancing machine that would help with the vibration. The experience of the tech who's performing the wheel balance is very important too!

Robert Perks , I'm sorry your having issues but I would bet that one of your front tires has a bubble or bulge. have you tried to put the back on the front and front on the back yet ?? if not, try that. you can also try a spare tire swop out one by one until you find the bad tire. full size spare recommended !!!

[@repz0611]

Tim Schutte Hey Tim I've looked at all the tires and don't see any bulges . The tires have been switched around with no results. I've been working a lot but I'm going to see if I can get the tires balanced for a 3rd time but on the road force machine. Thanks for the advice though. Hopefully something will work.

No Falkin fan boy here..actually never even thought about them or considered them until you made your fan boy comment. I said WTH..let me try them. I drive about 30k per year and on these HD trucks its hard pressed to get 40kmiles out of any of them...and I have been following you for years and have tried almost every major manufacturer. I have had 3 different Toyos, 2 Nittos, 2 BFG KO2 and even 3 mud terrain. The Falking I have now has 32k miles and I will definitely get another 15k out of them. The only thing coming out is the KO3 and my previous experience on HD trucks have not been good, even though I have a set on my golf cart and Audi... Us fan boys stray (BFG) when a product is not up to par. For now the Falkens are the best all around, best wearing tire for a HD truck that I have found.

I had Falken Wildpeaks on my 2016 ram 1500 4x4. I put them on at 41,000 miles I ran it 3 years and then traded it in. the mileage was 122,000 miles.... thats right 81,000 miles on those tires. Now I rotated them religiously every 4-5000 miles at Discount Tire where I bought them. Every time they pulled them they checked the pressure and balanced them. Oh so I wondered if the dealer put new tires on before they sold it.....nope I checked their website and blew up the picture and they were selling it with those same tires. So it still had tread enough to pass inspection. Buying my next set of Wildpeaks next week.

Driven both the Falken and the Toyo, Falken wins hands down in my opinion. Seems like a brand bias more than a real tire comparison. Almost no OEM runs toyo or nitto, maybe for a reason. Heard great things about the G2 though.

[@CampusautoCo]

Fair enough!

[@driveintherain]

One thing that sets Falken apart from the other two tires is that it has severe snow rating, which is great for us who need serious winter traction out of an AT tire. I consider both Falken and Nitto in the same league, maybe Nitto has the slight edge since it does offer more options for truck enthusiasts. But overall they are both great tires, they both started gaining reputation in the1990's, so yeah I wouldn't say Falken is the inferior one here. I was amazed by the good reviews I heard from people using the AT3W so I went ahead and bought a set. I was considering the new General ATX but feel like it's a little too aggressive for me (90% on pavement).

[@CampusautoCo]

I think we are on the same page on that.

@@CampusautoCo yeah man totally, just wanted to point out the snow rating. Love your videos keep it up :)

Driven from salt lake to Southern California to visit fam, I’d say more than 10x’s now since I got the truck in 2019. Reading the other reviews, I don’t get about hearing the tires being loud, mines have never made the tire sounds from start and present, sound and feel normal. They’ve been good on dirt, snow and rain here in utah. Hold up good against nails too, I’ve had about 7 so far, patched up and hit the road!

[@markgottfried6867]

I had two sets of KO2 on my Ram Ecodiesel and they were okay. They did not excel in anything. Punctured the sidewall twice last summer and fishtailed all over this December in Montana. After as much reading as I could possibly do it came down to either General Grabber ATX or the Falkens. Ultimately, I ordered the Falkens even though they were more expensive than the Grabbers ATX. I am hoping for better snow performance and better longevity than the KO2. Time will tell.

[@CampusautoCo]

Let me know how they do!

[@markgottfried6867]

First impressions after driving over 2000 km in snow cover roads of BC and Alberta with my new Wildpeaks. I went up a size to 275/65/20. Also the KO2 were in stock size and 8 ply as opposed to the Falkens being 10 ply. The added weight is exactly 10 lbs. That is a substantial weight gain. One thing I have noticed immediately in that regard was the effect it has on braking. It certainly takes more effort in applying brakes. I obviously don’t have exact measurements but I wouldn’t be surprise to see an increase in stopping distance. Quietness: is on par or little better than the KO2. Wet traction: there’s is not a hint of hydroplaning. KO2 were similar. Snow: Falkens are better (IMHO), not staggeringly better, just better. I have to say, though, that the temperatures were around -27C (-17F). No AT tire (snowflake rated or not) will do great in those temperatures. I have never run a true winter tire on my truck, but I suspect that it would be the time when one would notice a difference. Fuel economy: don’t have the exact number but the added weight does obviously have an impact. Right now I’m happy with the purchase. However, I’m not sure if in the future I would stick with the taller sidewall or go back down to the stock size.

[@ghosttownsentinel5288]

@reelcanuck I would take this reviewers recommendations with a grain of salt, to be honest. I was running BFG KOs and recently KO2s on my Land Cruiser (for over 5 years combined). KO2s are awesome tires and are worth every penny. However, if you want tires to 'look' off-road without being mud tires, then Falken has the looks, even more than the KO2s. Seriously! Go to a tire store and see it for yourself. Falkens have deep treads and meatier, thicker protrusions on the sidewalls that will make your truck look mean and rugged as hell simply standing in the mall parking lot! I got a set of Falken at3W tires last week, and in one week of driving on them, I must say, I am loving it. They don't feel any different than the KO2s in road manners and noise.

[@joemathis5200]

Add my two cents. I've run two sets of Falken AT3W tires on a Jeep with V6, and RAM 1500 with 5.7L. Both superior to every other A/T tire I've ever personally owned/run, or experienced. Great offroad trails, dirt, gravel, smaller rocks; Great on dry and wet (vastly superior on wet) and quiet. Great handling. Did I say quiet? Wears well. All season rated; great for snow also. I will recommend to anyone for any rig; get the correct tire for your use and be happy. If you are doing a good bit of mudd'in or crawl'in than step up to a M/T; can't say the Falken M/T is better than some others. Never used them.

These tires should be better.

[@BeanoNoir]

AT3Ws have one MASSIVE advantage. You can say things like:" Look at them big Falken tires! Look at these Falken tires! Those are some big Falken tires!" Although as someone who knows tire compounds are one of the most important components, the high silica in the Falkens will make them superior in wet and slurpy conditions, and will also increase their wear life. They were only cheap for a time because they were the new kid on the block. They've become so popular now though (especially now that they scored the deal with Jeep), that the price has skyrocketed due to demand. You don't have to like them, or their aesthetic, but at this point they've gone toe to toe with the kings of the biz and won. They may very well be the most popular tire of a generation. Just like the Grand daddy BFGs did in the late 80's and 90's (and for those over 45, still to this day) and the Geolandars in the 2000's, The Toyo's in the 2010's..... They are magnifique*. To be honest, the last few years some mediocre brands have unleashed some awesome rubber. Hankook probably makes the best city boy A/T tire in the Dynapro, displacing the old guard Bridgestone REVOs. Kumho, yes, the same came with the Kia Kumho, now has three excellent Tires in the Road Venture series (AT51, MT51, MT71,) and who can forget the titans? The Wrangler Duratrac vs the Firestone Destination MT! If one or the other wasn't wrapped around some gaudy 24 inch rims on every other cocoa butter cowboy special cruising down the road, would we even know what to do with ourselves then?

The weather is very challenging on everything. I use to run Good Year Duratracs. These tires perform about the same and that's really well. I stop buying the Duratracs as they got expensive and wore horrible. They scalloped horrible by 50 000 km. I use to get 100 000 km out of them. The Falkins didn't scallop and wore to 95 000 km. I have a new Ram 2500 5.7 and run 37 inch Cooper Pro SST for hunting season and trapping. Then I put on my Falkin 33 inch for fuel mileage.

[@bryantitus6634]

Im on my second set/vehicle with the wildpeaks and can say for certain that they are tremendously good in wet road conditions and equally good in snow. My only experience with the toyos was on a 2/3 worn set I had on my FJ cruiser when I bought it, but based on that limited use, Feb '17-Oct '17 I was not disappointed in the least. I don't know of anyone on a personal level that runs terra grapplers currently. Surely someone has in the past, but they no longer do if they had. I work with many others who run wildpeaks and nobody seems to have anything negative to say about them. The toyo at2s I feel were better wearing, albiet slightly, and somewhat quieter, but running p-metric vs the LT wildpeaks I put on after. The wildpeaks are tremendous in the snow and the wet but I feel that when new, they Toyo would be equally good in the wet and nearly as good in the snow. Neither tire would I hesitate to run on my vehicles. That being said, when I'm shopping for tires in my area, I can find LT rated falkens at a much lower price point than the Toyos and don't feel the performance difference matches the price difference by any means. Currently my p-metric falkens on my tacoma are wearing down to close to what the toyos were on my FJ when I bought it, and coming into winter, I should see a pretty legitimate apples to apples comparison with when I first ran toyos. I'd run either before a terra grappler, and a terra grappler before a KO2.

The non LT tire is better in the wet it uses a silica compound. I have the Non-LT at3w and have had massive grip in the snow(13") and went up a small hill of ice with no problem. I've heard some complaints about the LT model not having as much grip in the snow and rain. Also I went in loose sand and light mud no problem. My only concern was off road with lots of rocks. I wasn't too concerned but I feel like the LT would of been better for that situation.
