Falken wildpeak at3w 25000 mile hard use review!! Watch before you buy!!

[@xjinit]

Unless you engage the center locking diff, the rear is putting down more power even though it's "all wheel drive."

[@NigelNaughton]

Rotating your tires properly is key. I've been on several trips west to Moab, Black Hills SD, ect. From Minnesota. Mine have been absolutely amazing! Works great in snow, gravel, sand ,etc just like yours. And yeah, really quiet too. Mine are the same size in a 1997 Land Cruiser.

[@b-lew777]

This one or ko2?

[@alexrodriguez6437]

Such a good tire. Good on and off road. Quote on the street as well.

[@mikekay213]

Looking At them in LT specs, been on ko2s for a while, so 1) How is the puncture resistance 2) How have the sidewalls faired with rocks, Puncture’s/cuts

[@kriscsr3958]

Nice, thanks. i just purchased a set and look forward to not worrying about punctures like I currently do with my F150's factory all seasons.

[@catlinbeasley2041]

How did they do for ya? ‘16 f-150 is about to get some

[@kriscsr3958]

​@@catlinbeasley2041 So far, so good. I don't do any major off roading (my truck's only a rwd), but these tires, and my locking rear diff, have gotten me out of some soft stuff where my OEM's would have just spun. The main reason I bought these is for puncture protection, because I often drive down some pretty rocky roads with sharp, fist-sized rocks. Before, I was stressed, waiting for the low tire light to turn on. Now, that's not a concern. Regarding on-road driving, like all of the reviews state, they're very quiet and didn't seem to affect my gas mileage too much. The grip is fine, considering I don't take corners too fast and the braking seems fine too.

[@russgould707]

I have this tire in 33 12.50 15 on a Samurai. I also have a set of old style geolander Mt Plus that I switch back and forth between. The samurai does way better in gravel and loose Rock with the AT3Ws. The ride is better with Falkens at street pressure. The ride is way better at lower pressures with the Falkens. The only thing the old M/T Yokahamas are better at is thick mud and deep snow. There is one really steep gravel road that I go on that I need four wheel drive with the M/Ts, but can do it in two wheel drive with the Falkens.

[@erikmartinez7078]

Awesome review, I’m on the market for tires, I’m trying to educate my self before buying something I will regret. Thanks for the review I’m pretty much sold on these falkns !!

[@jerryjohnson9531]

I bought Falken Wildpeaks about 2 months ago for my '18 Toyota 4Runner. They are the best A/T tires that I have ever used. I just got back from a 1,400 mile trip into northern New Mexico. Very little road noise, mileage drop only .2 of a mile from highway tires, and they have great traction in all conditions (especially snow). I also get a lot of compliments on them!

[@erikmartinez7078]

Do you by chance drive in snow and such? Looking to put these on my frontier.

[@drobs7279]

@@matthewking4470 I previously had 10ply BFG AT KO1 tires on my Frontier which were horrible on ice. These Falkens seem to grip better for me on slick stuff. I think they would be perfect for your Nissan. I have the P-rated Falken AT3W on both my Frontier and 4Runner. They are a lighter tire compared to the LT Falkens and closer to stock weight. I find keeping the tire weight close to stock weight = better fuel economy.

No all wheel drive means all wheels drive. Unless you have an adaptive AWD like old suzuki's have or some newer models have. But most AWD means all wheel are moving

Not a fan. I replaced my BFGs with wildpeaks after watching a few reveiws. While I got 3 full years out of 2 different sets of bfgs I'll be lucky to get 18 months out of the wildpeaks. They work fine on pavement, better on wet pavement than the bfgs. They suck in snow and ice compared to the bfgs and they are 2/3 worn out going into only my second winter. Never again will I purchase falcons or put any faith in youtube tire reveiws.

[@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218]

bdd1469 I really hate to hear that, how many miles are on the tires? I’ve had multiple sets and have installed multiple sets on customer builds and have had not one complaint.
