In this video, I'm reviewing my Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires after having them on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma Off Road for 20,000 miles. These tires have been awesome for me so I wanted to do a falken wildpeak at3w tacoma review video to talk about why I like them so much. This Falken Wildpeak AT3W review will talk about why I picked these tires and how well they've worn after 20,000 miles.

I was always a BFG K02 guy, been running them on my trucks, and the work trucks for years. But when I bought my Taco this spring I couldn’t get them, and after seeing reviews on the wild peaks decided to try them out. They do not disappoint, and have totally converted me. Absolutely love these tires; function and looks that are just amazing.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Nice!! I really like the look of the KO2s but some people I know had bad experiences with them blowing out on the highway so that's why I didn't consider them.

[@asymsolutions]

@@KnightWheelsMedia I currently have the same tires for the reason kimber mentioned. Due to comute, my buds on K02's and duratracs will be around the same mileage this winter. It'll be interesting to compare them all on 3rd gen tacoma DCSB's. Granted they are of different sizes (stock+, 32, and 34) and different trim trucks (Sport, SR5, and Offroad). So I won't considering I'm the one on 34's and with a locking diff, I may or may not be able to make more use of them over others. On the flipside my snow experience is mostly with crossover active-AWD platforms with upgraded rally level reserve damper systems (audi & subaru) being paired with dedicated winter tires. So I'm interested in seeing how a part time 4x4 system without limited slip differentials in the rear and center deals with the stress of intermittent dry road traction to snow traction with "all-terrians" compared to my previous experience.

[@DoubleJabSlipRightHand]

I'll run ya head into a wall.

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

I was planning on buying BFG KO2s, then started reading several problems people were having with them including even something as basic as balancing. I hear nothing but good things about the Wildpeaks, so am planning on giving them a try for my Toyota 4x4 Pickup.

[@BCRichWarlock08]

I have always had toyos in the past but when i bought my jeep gladiator the wildpeaks came stock. So far i love them , not too noisy and really grippy offroad. I like them so much that i sold my 33s and upgraded to 35s

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Nice, good to hear! I wish these would come stock on the Tacoma.

[@solayluna]

Just installed 245 75 16 wildpeaks on my 21 AWD Transit 250 and loving them in -23 C with deep snow over frozen rain then turned to slushy ice due to Southern Alberta extreme variation of roads in only few hours from Chinook winds over the Rockies...they will be put to the test!

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Nice! Hope they work out for you

[@jerryjohnson9531]

I have 31,000 miles on my Falken Wildpeaks. Pro's: Quiet, great in snow and very good in wet. Con's: Mine are worn out at 31,000 miles and I don't drive off-road and rotate every 5,000 miles. Also, picked up a nail in mine right after I bought them. I can't decide what to replace them with though. I may buy the Falkens again but only because I am afraid of the wet handling of KO2's.

[@Mario-hg3pm]

Great review. I have the same tires with 36,000 miles on them. Almost all of the miles on them are Interstate driving just got them rotated yesterday. They told me I have 8/32 left on them and they said that when you Buy them they come with 13/32 on them when they are new. All are Wearing evenly and I’m not even at the halfway point yet on tread life yet. They have been a good set of tires. Haven’t Slid in the rain or slid in the snow and dry traction has been good to. Start to buy the Goodyear dura tracks The only reason I didn’t get them the supplier didn’t get them in time to them there mistake made me a believer in these tires. I was going to have to take off another day off work to get the dura tracks so I bought what they had in stock. From what I hear the dura tracks are Louder tire at highway speeds and these tires are petty quiet even at 80 miles an hour. I have a ram 1500 with a hemi so I don’t hear these tires at all. I been happy with the tires I bought and when I need a new set of tires I’m going to buy the same ones they have been a great set of tires.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Good to hear!! Thanks for watching/commenting 🤙🏼

[@jayare895]

Dude I thought the same for rain traction. I’m also in south Florida (Miami area). Easy 65mph in the rain without worries. I did opt for the 265/75/r16 since I’m running stock wheels and plan to stay stock. Also didn’t want to deal with rubbing issues.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Nice!! 🔥

[@jaredmontgomery8934]

I just got my wild peaks replaced with new ones. I was rotating them every 6000 and probably few times went too long on getting them rotated. But they said at shop that after seeing and learning how the tires wear. That it's a every 3000 mile rotation on the falken wild peaks that will give you the longest life out of them.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Interesting yeah more frequent rotations would help. I think I did it every 5k

[@micahradnich8257]

leveled my '14 2wd F150 and put 305/65/18's on the stock FX2 18" rim. First set I took them off at 67k miles, and resold them with 9/32" still. Then bought another set. Bad A** off road performance. I aired down to about 16psi ish and they handled Rocks & sand to the point where I followed my buddy in his XJ down a jeep trail and never needed a yank. Another new Rubicon with BFG's was getting stuck in the sand and I just floated through. THESE NEVER LEFT ME STUCK! Quiet on the road and great in the rain unless trying to steer with your right foot ;)

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Love to hear it 🔥

[@devildoc6749]

came across your video , looking for some reviews on AT3's. Ironically, I have a set of Coopers, and decided to change to the AT3's since I am going on a road trip soon, I wanted the 275's but with the current outlook on the price of gas, I decided to sacrifice a smaller size to 265 70 17 and not 275 70 17. I ended getting a sprint Booster and overall happy with the way it works. Appreciate the reviews.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Nice! The truck will be plenty capable with the 265s on it, great choice.

[@americanmilitiaman88]

My tacoma is stock with stock good year kevlars. They have been good. I live on the wet side of Washington. They do great in snow and rain. Im going to the wild peaks. Most off roading is just dirt gravel logging roads.

I have 33x12.50R15 Wildpeak AT3W's on my 1992 GMC Yukon (w/ 3" body lift) for a little over 2 years now. I've been very pleased with them. Today, when I stopped to get the mail, some guy was there getting his mail also. He saw me pull up, and as I got to the mailbox, he struck up a conversation about my tires. He asked, "How are they on ice and snow?" (it had started sleeting/freezing rain and the streets/roads were turning to sh*t). I told him, "Great!" Which they really are. I've had no real traction/control issues with these tires. Lock it in 4 Hi, and GO, but drive sensibly! I live in southern Minnesota.

I’ve had 3 pairs. First set on a Frontier, then an F150, now a Tacoma. Great tires. They last. Good grip off road. Good in the winter. Decent price point but that seems to be going up just like everything else in the world!

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Yeah it's crazy to see how expensive they've gotten since I posted this video haha

[@inthismomentcb]

I thought I would comment here because this is a relatively new comment, I have read recently that they change the tread compound on the newer models of the wild peak, so have you gotten the same type of performance out of your latest set as you did your first set? I live in the Midwest probably get a lot of significant snow and I don’t really want to pull the trigger on a new set unless I know they’re gonna be just as good as the old ones.

[@shaolinf4]

@@inthismomentcb I’m also in the Midwest (northwest Indiana, good amount of lake effect snow). I can’t speak on longevity because I bought a 20 Tacoma and they were already installed so I’m unsure on the mileage. Truck only has 30k on it currently and I haven’t seen a winter with it yet.

[@chrisb-br5nx]

Well, just as the new model comes out, I finally pulled the trigger on the tires, before they were discontinued. I really hope I don’t regret it. We’ll have them installed this week.

Knight, thanks for the video. Funny thing you mentioned the Nittos. I actually have a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 on my Taco, 285/75/16. I tried them out for the first time yesterday at Citrus and my taco did great out there!

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Nice!! Did you have any rubbing?

[@Meowhsss]

@@KnightWheelsMedia I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 4Runner and they are terrifying in the rain, hydroplane constantly, switching out to Wildpeaks right now

[@dokilar1]

I'm glad to see such glowing reviews. I've never doubted Falken tires, I've grown up over the years around people who have had some kind of Falken tire but never owned a set for myself. The first set I bought for my truck was a set of Kumho Road Venture's and that was due mostly to price point and availability (during covid). While I wasn't disappointed in the Kumho's they didn't seem to wear very well on my truck. I had about 40k miles on them and don't think I would've made it another 5k without them becoming racing slicks... I actually wanted to get a set of these Wildpeaks the first time but nobody where I lived could get them for weeks on end. Last week however I procures a set and I must say I'm genuinely surprised with how aggressive they look for an AT tire. They have the slightest whine driving down the road but it becomes unnoticeable past 55 mph. We get our first real shot at some winter weather this week so I'm hoping we get some snow so I can test them out for myself. I've driven in rain with them a couple of times and they seem to handle well. I hope mine look and last as long as some of the reviews I've seen at 20k and 30k miles.

[@chrisb-br5nx]

Well, since this was a recent review, did you get that snow? How were they? I’ve been on the fence about them for a year and finally pulled the trigger and bought a set last Friday will have them installed next week. Be great to know if your experience was good in the snow I just hope I don’t regret this ha ha

[@dokilar1]

@chrisb-br5nx believe it or not we did get a bit of snow. Not as much as they forecasted but I'd say a good 3-4 inches, roads were covered for several days, backroads anyways. I can honestly say I'm impressed with how they handled. There were a few instances in which I would've had to use my 4 wheel drive with my last set of tires that I didn't with this set. I can also attest that they handle wet pavement much better than my last set. We've had in excess of 5" of rain over the last week and a half and there are spots in the highway on my way to work that I normally pay close attention to. They handled those spots flawlessly. I paid $1079 mounted and balanced for my 275/60/r20's and I am thoroughly impressed. I got about 2500 miles on them (I drive a lot...) and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Yeah there’s a bit of trade off with the more aggressive style being slightly louder than the typical AT tire. I think the Wildpeaks are a good middle ground between AT and MT.

[@chrisb-br5nx]

@@KnightWheelsMedia I wanted them, but I seen that they recently are going to discontinued them since they’re coming out with a new version. Not really any reviews on the new version yet obviously so I decided to go with the general grabber is there tried and true for me anyway have them installed next week

[@Pencil-Eating]

Thank you for this review. I have a 2017 F-250 with the 6.7 powerstroke turbo diesel and I am considering getting these tires since my buddy who also has a diesel said the K02s don’t wear very well. Wondering how these will do with how heavy this truck is. I had a tundra before and ran Toyos. This truck rides high so I think I can go bigger than the stock 275/70R18. I don’t even have a leveling kit on it but I think I can go 285s without rubbing.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Yeah a lot of people have also been saying the KO2s are hard to get right now due to supply chain issues. I'd definitely recommend these tires to anyone!

[@tacoma_jon]

I run the same exact tire. Same exact size. Love them.

Going on to my second pair. And I love these tires. I go to the snow, trails and daily driving and they’ve been great in everything. The one thing I will say is that when tread is low they are a little loud.

Agree. Mine did start to get louder around 30k or so

[@inthismomentcb]

I just ordered my first set of wildpeaks earlier this afternoon I'm super stoked to see them arrive hopefully on Monday. I am a little scared though about whether I should expect some rubbing and how well these tires perform on the highway since I drive to Florida 2 or 3 times a year ?

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Best tires I've ever owned for rain/mud and daily driving. They were very quiet until around 30k and even still weren't bad. As far as rubbing, that depends on your tire size, wheel offset, etc.

[@daveho204]

I’ve had these for 2 yrs about 20,000 mile as well. Wore down from 13.6/32nds to 9. Loved them up until last week when I noticed all 4 tires were developing cracking along the tread lines. One shop said this is a manufacturers defect and said to go to a shop that sells them to initiate warranty. Currently going through this process. I have records proving rotation, and alignment. I’m religious with keeping psi right. Not sure what the outcome will be but be aware and look out for cracking.

Interesting. Maybe weather related?

[@daveho204]

@@jelv.4142 long story, short…never buy tires online. Even if you save a few bucks. The online retailer won’t help you one bit in a warranty scenario. Local shops (understandably) won’t help either as you didn’t buy from them. Thankfully, Falken stepped up and warrantied me directly after I sent them service records, images, and had a shop measure tread depth with a report that didn’t cost much. They also needed proof of disposal by the shop I got the new tires from to make sure I didn’t resell the old ones. I’m on a new set and was reimbursed by Falken on a pro rated warranty. Tires are great. I’m hoping it was just an odd defect in that batch.

Looking at these in 285/70/17 for the 4Runner. The ONLY hesitation I have is the weight - compared to other AT's in that size, they are HEAVY (the C-load tire comes in at like 64 lbs, and the E-load is 59?). If I'm going that heavy, I may as well consider MTs.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

True. Honestly I would almost consider these to be like a hybrid AT/MT because of how chunky & heavy they are.

One reason they are so heavy is because of how deep the tread is compared to their competition.

Bf goodrich 116Q is 50lb the wildpeak is 65lb in the 285/70 17

[@tuckerhiggins4336]

I just got them for my 4runner, but in the 275/70r17 size, load range C. Weighs like 57lbs

[@shannondixon3767]

Man I want this EXACT tire but the 275s from Falken are heavy! 57 lbs. Any they're only C rated! Heavier than every E Rated 275. If I'm going from a stock Goodyear Wrangler at about 35 lbs. that adds over 80 lbs. to my total weight. Have you noticed a big decrease in your MPG??

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Definitely haha they take a toll on MPGs big time. But they're solid tires. They seem to hold up really well.

[@kennethbecerra7362]

The tire selection for 275 is not that big and from the research I have done so far Toyo AT3 Load Range E weight 51lbs. I was going to get the Falken'sbut they just weight too much especially for a Load Range C. I bought my taco with P265/70/17 with American Racing wheels for a total weight of 73lbs. I figure I go with LT275/70/17 Toyos (weight 51lbs) + Black Rhino Rapid Wheels (weight=23lbs) = 74lbs. Mathematically I shouldn't feel too much of a difference in the MPGs right other than a stiff ride?? Any opinions/recommendations are much appreciated. @knightwheels love the channel , content and the rig

[@LuisAngel255678]

What tire pressure do you run and how did you determine it would be the best?

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

I was around 40PSI if I remember correctly. Look up the chalk test, that's one way to check.

[@keithfreeman4015]

Replaced the GARBAGE KO2 tires on my raptor with these. Amazing!!! Sand.. mud… ice… snow… best tires I have ever owned. Put them on my wife’s Jeep GC TrailHawk and mother in laws Kia Sportage. They are the bees knees.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

I've heard to stay away from K02s. Great choice with the Falkens 👍🏼

[@CrazyGreek80]

I can't decide between these or the Ridge Grapplers?

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Both great tires. Maybe just go with what's available or maybe which you think looks better. I'm obviously a little biased towards the look of the Wildpeaks haha

[@WayneWatson1]

It's a good thing you didn't end up with the Terra grappler g2s. When I bought my Tacoma, those came on mine and I hated them. After 20,000 miles, they were crap. I lost traction on wet roads all the time. Just giving the truck a little gas starting off from a stop, lost traction. Going around curves, it would fishtail. I finally got to where I could get new ones and I went with the Falken wildpeak at3w after a ton of reviews. When they took the g2s off, they said they were dry rotting and hard and they were always driven on and only 4 years old. I'll never buy Nitto tires. The wildpeaks haven't disappointed me. I'm running 265/65/17s

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Wow that's wild. Hopefully the Falkens fare better for you!

[@pjduff2duff153]

Dude I had the same thing happen with my nittos. Hoping the wild peaks last longer and don’t loose grip as easy in rain.

[@WayneWatson1]

@@pjduff2duff153 I love my falkens

[@Meowhsss]

I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 4Runner and they are terrifying in the rain, hydroplane constantly, switching out to Wildpeaks right now. Only 24,000 Miles on the Terra Grapplers and 4 years old.

[@WayneWatson1]

@@Meowhsss my Falkens have been amazing on wet roads, snow and light to mid mud. Everything I have thrown at them, they haven't let me down and I only have a 2wd tacoma. Imagine if it was 4wd. Nitto will never be on any of my vehicles

[@inthismomentcb]

I’m wondering if the new ones are just as good as the old ones because I read that the new ones have a different thread compound the sacrifices their performance. so anyone who has bought them in like maybe the last 18 months or so are they just as good? also for those worried about how much they weigh, yeah it’s definitely an issue, here’s something you can do to the gate that way, take off your muffler and replace it with a straight pipe and or a glass pack muffler that will reduce your weight by about 25 pounds.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

haven't really heard any complaints lately

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

nice Falken tires!

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Thanks!!

[@alvinfisherii1341]

This is going to sound crazy but I got the falkens installed back in 2016 And I’m Still riding them and they have over half of the tread life left - road noise is pretty noticeable now but honestly the investment was unreal and the performance has really given me peace of mind, finally going to get another set though the road noise is almost swamper level Although might see what happens on a rotationlol

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

That's awesome. They do last a while! I had around 30k on them when I sold the truck and they were just starting to get a little louder, but the treads looked almost new.

[@Datroothstr8100]

Does it get good MPG I am going to put. 35s or 37s on my H2

[@brianclark2790]

Ive always ran toyo's at's and have had really good performance from them in all weather. I was thinking of trying the falken, but heard in other reviews that falken changed their compound and that they arent as good as the previous tires

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Yeah I've heard mixed reviews about that, not quite sure about it but definitely possible given all the manufacturing craziness post-2020.

[@harryforks6708]

@@KnightWheelsMedia Is it possible that you reviews have been muddled between the AT3W and the AT3WA? AT3WA is definitely not as well rated as the AT3W from the reviews I've read and watched

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

@harryforks6708 possible some are confusing the two. I believe the AT3WA did not exist at the time this video was created

[@brianmartin1139]

Good video. I am sad to hear that these rub at 275/70 on the Tacoma. I was thinking of a similar setup on my 4Runner. I will have to research it some more.

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Keep in mind it will depend on the offset of your wheels. If you're using the stock Toyota wheels with a positive offset, the 275s may not rub. Also, I believe the 4Runner may have a little bit more room in the wheel well... just don't quote me on that lol

[@ismael2191]

Yours tires is C1 load or SL load?? And how many ply??

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Honestly can't remember anymore, but I believe I had the heavier tires.

[@aaronfields57]

Honestly I've been looking at tires based on the look of the tread because I want the siping to go out to the shoulder of the tire

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

The siping is great. They work very well in wet weather conditions.

[@aaronfields57]

@@KnightWheelsMedia winter is the most important for me

[@patriotsleepercell4060]

Thinking about getting the same wheels. Are you happy with them?

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

100% no complaints. If you need to find a flaw, they're on the heavier side so MPG will suffer a bit.

[@MrDonuts10]

Didn’t wanna do any excessive cutting but still cut the crap out of your bumper to install an aftermarket one lmao

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Haha yeah but when I got the tires I wasn't planning to do that 😂 also the main thing was I didn't wanna do a CMC

Unfortunately don't remember at this point, I believe they were the SL load though

[@judgedredd2199]

Quick question!!!! Is good on pavement? Is quite?

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Good on pavement & pretty quiet though it's louder than stock. They will get louder over time as well.

[@JB-pk1jx]

I’ve owned two sets of these tires and they always pull hard to the right

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

Interesting on what vehicle(s)? My truck pulls right but I just attribute it to being out of alignment from off roading and stuff.. wonder if it's the tires lol

[@Chilinoploopy]

@@KnightWheelsMedia it's just both your trucks. Feint end issues. I'm on my third set of wildpeaks and none of them pulled either way.

[@paularcus2029]

Did you get the 10ply rated ones? Or the 4 ply?

[@KnightWheelsMedia]

I believe I ended up getting the 4ply because they were a bit lighter & better for daily driving.

[@ajayvnaik]

Is there a way to tell from the tire on whether it is a 4 or a 10 ply, Thank you

The Wildpeak AT3W is better then the Nitto g2. Micket Thompson Baja boss at are awesome too. I run p265/75r16 SL on my taco. 32” is perfect size. 33” rubs.

Yup, same reason I went with the 32" was to avoid the rubbing - but I still had some due to the wheel offset.

Surprised to hear that. Mine had over 30k on them when I sold the truck and still had about half of the tread left. Maybe you had a different load range or something? Btw, I've heard nothing but bad things about K02s so I would recommend looking into them more before buying. Some comments on this video talk about it I think.
