Falken Wildpeak A/T4W Review | Driving Impressions, Details and Rivian Specific Info

[@drewkramer5625]

I've had these on my Silverado since the beginning of February in north eastern Wisconsin. A few small snowfalls we've had, the tires performed excellent! Im extremely happy with them!

[@sharpie132]

Thanks for that info

[@AmpdAdventures]

Even with the range hit, after driving in a snow storm this weekend I like knowing my truck is prepared for anything and these tires seem to cover that “drive anywhere” functionality.

[@kF-mj9uz]

I just put these on my jeep after using the KO2 that were super solid these are so grippy and quiet very happy with these 🎉

[@theeory1]

I spent 48 hrs reviewing tires for my old reliable H3 and kept coming to these tires. Looks ultra sharp, rides smooth (so underrated) and so far they are performing well on snowy roads (Alberta, Canada) - it’s okay on ice, does spin a bit if you try to book it off the line but it grips paved road like nobody’s business and think it will perform well in the rain. I am overall very happy 4.4 out of 5, but I’m superficial when it comes to the look and they were some of the best looking ones to me on the market.

[@gaeldebeaumont6256]

Great informative video with beautiful shots of the Alabama Hills. I learned some things about tires too! Keep rocking it!

[@ChargeOverland]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!🤘🏻

[@lanceharpe205]

Thanks for the review! I was considering these as a replacement for the pirellis, but with an 11% range hit and for how often I off-road and on the types of trails I'm hitting in the northwest, I think I'm going to stick with the stock tires. Much appreciated man!

[@ChargeOverland]

Sure thing! Glad you found it useful 🙌🏻

[@rlaracue]

KO3 are lighter and less aggressive. I would suggest those as well. I love the Falkens and have the RT01s on my 23 Tundra. I am looking at the R1T and R1S atm. If I go for either I will be looking at the AT4s, KO3 and the Baja Boss ATs.

[@johnganshow5536]

@@ChargeOverland Did you see the Rivians in the car lot on fire? 150 burned & melted, once the EV's catch on fire foam or water won't extinguish the flames...

[@BrockSheets]

Thanks for the great review and comparison to the OEM Pirellis! I've got the Falken Wildpeak AT3W on our R1S and I'm averaging about 1.74 mi/kWh after about 7,500 miles. I've had the vehicle for about 4-1/2 months, so I'm guessing our cooler temps in that time (Boise, ID) are why we are struggling to see above 1.8. Hopefully in the warmer months, we'll see a bit better range due to the battery operating at warmer temps.

[@davidg5965]

I've just been looking for a good Falken At4w reviews regardless of what type of truck, I have a gas f150 but love the rivian in terms of electric trucks 👌 great review, thank you!

Those tires look awesome! What a great rig you’ve built buddy!! 👊🏼👊🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ChargeOverland]

Thanks Greg! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@joelo.3590]

Great video!! Been waiting for a detailed review on the AT4s on a Rivian. A bit of a hit on the range but a significant gain on off road performance. Planning to pair this set with the BR Voltaics. I wish Falken hooked you up with a discount code for your subscribers 😁

[@ChargeOverland]

Thanks! I wish they did too ;)

[@danb821]

Watching your channel was probably the tipping point for me pulling the trigger on my R1T. Keep the great content rolling! One quick question. When you refer to the OEM Pirelli, was that the All Season or the All Terrain? Thanks!

[@ChargeOverland]

Thanks and awesome to hear you got an R1T! The OEM tire I was referring to is the All Terrain 👍🏻

[@jsvallee567]

i got the at3 right now on my 01 tacoma and they are way better than the ko2 i ad before .. mud snow gravel road and rocks they perform just perfect for what i do with them ! so yeah i easy to say for my next set i will try the at4 !!

[@walkyourbike]

I’m pretty much 99% sure I’ll be getting these for my 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk soon. Great review!

[@ChargeOverland]

Cool! Thank you🙌🏻

[@kdcarver]

Bought a set a month ago for my 2011 F150 FX4. I'm disappointed in the highway driving performac. The tires require a lot of driver attention to keep the truck on track compared to the Bridgestone Dueller Revos I had on it previously. I have to make small adjustments as if the steering is loose. I've had the car aligned by the top independent alignment shop in the area and the suspension checked, so this is not the issue. Has anyone else experienced this with these tires?

[@jacksonmccone9918]

I’m in the warranty process on my 35x11.5s for this and having a hop at varying speeds. Came from AT3Ws on the same wheels and suspension setup with no issues.

[@andresescobedo3140]

My stock 08 sierra drives perfectly fine.

[@johnmcalisterjr3913]

Nice looking tire i have brigstones from the factory 275/60r20 on my gmc at4 1500 .I would like to get a replacement to look a little bigger but dont want to put a lift in my truck looking for a bigger tire to replace my original tire to a little bigger with no rubbing issues any

[@matthaze7906]

Long way away from my future lightly used R2 I plan on purchasing around 2028 (maybe buy new) but been looking at these tires for my current 2017 jeep Cherokee. Think I’m going Kumho at52 or I hear the Yokohama geo15 are very quiet. My #1 choice is Michelin Defender LTX platinums for the noise and gas mileage but the only make them for 20” rims. Really fascinated in the tires sidewall protection and hear it handles mud and snow well but find it a bit hard to believe Anyway really enjoy the channel! Be sure to check out Californias Lost Coast overland Trail (Usal Rd from Usal beach to kings peak rd over to mattole rd and come out near a rivian adventure network by the Safeway near hwy 101. Would have some AMAZING drone shots of the lost coast.

[@ChargeOverland]

Lots of good tire choices out there for sure! Thanks for the recommendation on the Lost Coast trail I’ll have to add it to my list of spots to check out🤘🏻

[@matthaze7906]

@@ChargeOverland Just saw a rivian out here driving on the beach, tried to tell them take Usal but doubt they did, they were legitimately interested tho. Ended up with the Yokohama Geolander GO15 which heard are very quiet but off-roading could be better. One review said “Better than A/T tire on the highway, Better than a H/T off-road”. Oh yeah you can drive in the beach here in shelter cove after usal. Locals maybe a bit odd though an actually off-roading Rivian and not a mall crawling family 😂

[@adiaz316]

Did you have any consideration for the BFG A/T KO3? If so, what weighted your decision towards Falken?

[@TheArtofDisruption]

Where weight is a consideration, the KO3 makes a lot of sense. They are only available in limited sizes currently, but the AT4W is REALLY heavy for this class. Good for for an HD truck or if you’re going to be towing heavy, probably not ideal for an EV IMO

[@ChargeOverland]

I’d heard great things about the A/T3Ws and wanted to give Falken tires a try - with the weight of the Rivian I’m hoping these tires end up being more durable than some of the other tires in this class

[@2shoestoo]

The weight, no can do on my 4Runner I will wait for the K03

[@tinor.9252]

Why isn't anybody talking about the RT 01s? I bought these tires for my nissan titan pro 4r x, and they are incredible.

[@yalkmata1246]

Great video. Thanks.

[@rickwhitfield7617]

U r going to run that heavy FWP 4W tire on a Rivian? What is the weight variance from the stock OEM tire to that beast?

[@michaelschnitzer4054]

Seems they’re they went more highway friendly with these.

[@Infantry4Life.WarFighters]

I love wildpeaks and will be getting the at4 on Friday

[@motom8962]

Excellent, practical review. I appreciate you covering db's but also mentioning drone. Most cover the loudness but not the pitch of the sound. Our R1S is a Sedona, AZ vehicle that requires off-road-ability. We are rock slider equipped but stock Pirellis not inspiring confidence in the survival department off-road. I am definitely waiting to see more on the KO3's as they become more widely available as they are potentially a little lighter. Question... The A/T4W's you reviewed are the E rated tires which I believe are the 80psi max and thus heavier tire. The LT version is the 50psi max tire, lighter, but I haven't been able to ascertain whether the LT version is suitable for Rivians. Most tire shops won't mount unless load capability is adequate. Do you have any information on that topic or is my question a misguided concern?

[@ChargeOverland]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed the review! As far as the mounting the LT version I don’t personally have info on that but maybe someone else will drop a comment if they do👍🏻

[@jeffreychow8853]

It sounds like the range comparison was with used Perelli's, how many miles were on those tires? I wonder if the reduced tread and thus weight, made the comparison even more stark and not quite comparable. It would be similar to how people change tire brands and remark how much gripper the new brand is when some or all of it is the switch from a used tire with little remaining tread to a brand new tire. The change in experience being largely going from old to new rather than brand to brand. Thanks for the review regardless. I've had the AT3W on my van for 4 years and debating on getting the same or AT4W's.

[@ChargeOverland]

Good question for sure! I’ve been logging the efficiency on all my major trips since I got the truck so I had plenty of numbers to compare to over the life of the OEM tires. I’d think the increase in weight and also more aggressive tread is a much more likely reason for the efficiency hit👍🏻

[@preacher031163]

U have a completely new sidewall they added another layer.. it is now a 3 ply sidewall...u should be able to airdown without tire shimmy

[@vsidharth]

Hi Steven, do you still have the wildpeaks on your rivian? I completed 33k on the wildpeaks on my Model Y. Rotated every 10k miles. Now with even the slightest rain, i loose traction on turns in street and have to take turns very slow not to skid out of control. Not sure if its cos of the weight of EVs. Just a heads up.

[@ChargeOverland]

I still have them on my truck yes👍🏻 Tires definitely wear quicker with EVs. I would check your tread depth it sounds like you might be towards the end of the tire life

[@canoeshoe]

Are these C or E rated?

[@mercurials54]

Thinking to purchase AT4W, can’t afford Rivian but drop in efficiency makes KO3s a better fit for my gas guzzler 😆

[@mitchsargent5543]

Nice review! I'm curious about these for my next set o shoes, but asl the KO3s.

[@TheArtofDisruption]

KO3’s are much lighter if you’re putting them on an EV

When is your next trip on these tires?

[@ChargeOverland]

I’m sure I’ll be out with them again soon - currently working on the full video from Alabama hills trip and will be posting that next!

[@rvboyett]

I think I'm going to pass on these for my R1T. I've got a Wrangler with A/T3Ws that I can use for the more challenging trails. I'll stick with Pirelli for now since range is more important for me at this point. I rep from Falken once told me they were working on an EV friendly AT, but that was over a year ago and I haven't heard a peep from them since.

[@ChargeOverland]

Would be cool to see a more EV focused tire from them for sure!

[@Japplesnap]

That's a big hit to efficiency. With a gas powered vehicle, no issue. But with a battery electric vehicle, I can't do it.

[@trailrunnah8886]

At least the Rivian has the power to turn them. I can't imagine how bad my 4Runner would be with 65lb tires on it.

[@ChargeOverland]

Fair enough I definitely see the range hit as too much for some people which is understandable

[@GrassyKnollLawnCare]

That’s why you don’t buy an EV LOL. Unless you wanna drive around town they are worthless

[@RonaldSkancke]

You say 400+$. I was quoted 205$ pr tire just yesterday. 235/85/16.

[@ChargeOverland]

Tire size makes a big difference in price!

[@ferdiemazon3627]

Stock Rivian 20's = 86 lbs Aftermarket 20's with Wildpeak AT/3W = 99 lbs Why do the AT/4W weigh so much more?

[@TheBowerbird]

Sidewall reinforcing and general tire strengthening = weight.

[@RonaldSkancke]

400+ per tire! I was quoted 205$ mounted and balanced per tire just yesterday. 820 plus tax. South Dakota price.
