Falken Wildpeak A/T4W - 5,000 Mile Update

I'm not exaggerating when I say that these are the best tires I've ever had. #tires #offroad #trucks

[@its.j.crane.]

Same experience so far with my set on my Outback Wilderness. They are much more comfortable over small bumps, potholes, etc. Was surprised given the 3 ply design and warranty period. Size 235/65/17

[@devellwilson7099]

Hey 4- LOW, thank you for your review, it helped me decided on my purchase for these tires' thanks bud.

[@Deuce_Dufresne]

Love my AT-3Ws on my Tacoma, will get the AT-4Ws when they eventually wear out. Very happy with them on/off road and in the winter.

[@architypeone8646]

I'm running Falken 285/70/17 AT3w's on my 2000 4Runner and have about 40K miles on them. The tread depth still looks better than 50%. These are the best tires I've ever owned. I used to run BFG's and the Falkens are far superior in the snow, rain, dry and off road. I'm not a mud guy, so they haven't been exposed to a lot of that. I've had a few close calls on dry pavement and they have shown excellent traction in heavy braking and evasive maneuvering. Great tire...I'll certainly buy them again.

[@Cortezuma]

I’m thinking about putting the same size on my 4Runner. Torn between AT3W and AT4W because as you know the 4Runner is a bit underpowered and the AT4W is 7 pounds heavier per tire I think. That’s my only hang up. Either way I’m glad to hear they’re working out in this size on a 4Runner. You get any rubbing? What’s your lift?

[@architypeone8646]

@@Cortezuma I have a 2" lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks and Old Man Emu springs. I have a -10 offset on 17" x 8.5" rims. I also have the wide factory wheel well flares. I had to trim a small wedge on the front of the bottom of the flares approx 1/2" x 3" tall. The plastic wheel well liner sticks out about 1/2" to cover the pinch weld and I get a slight rub only in reverse at full lock of the steering wheel on the pinch weld bulge. It wasn't bad enough to do any modification to the liner or the pinch weld especially since it is only in reverse. I recommen the -10 offset wheels to help with clearance on the upper control arms. I also installed SPC adjustable upper control arms to help get the alignment close to factory spec. Had a vibration at 60 mph and installed a front diff drop to get the axel angle closer to stock...that solved the vibration. Diff drop kit from JEGS was about $35...2 long bolts and 2 spacer washers.

I made the switch from Toyo ATs to the new AT4s. My Toyo were wearing a lot faster vs the AT4s . I’m loving these tires on my tundra hybrid for towing

[@wessowell6616]

A longer warranty is more often than not just a sales tactic. 70% of customers never use their warranty is todays tire market and the manufacturers know that. That being said I’ve always been happy with my wildpeaks. Great bang for the buck tire.

[@carl2591]

One thing i find is you HAVE TO insist on adjustment of price on miles if the tire are at the 2/32 mark and are under the warranty miles.. If you are are at 55K on 60K miles at 2/32 where is not a lot of discount.. but at 30K on 2/32 there is almost half.. They will not make the adjustment you HAVE TO make them adjust..

[@hillcountrydev]

EXACTLY. when the weather gets shitty and you need stability and traction (the whole point of a tire lol) you cant beat the Falkens

[@jayhenry3709]

PU AT3W in 2018 for 05 GMC 1500 4X4. 40k miles amd 7/32 left. Just put AT4W on my Duramax 2500HD. Best tires I have ever owned!!

[@LoneStarNomads]

I had the AT3s on my F-150 and after they get about 50,000 miles on them I want to go ahead and got new ones. Unfortunately Falken tires were on back order back closer to like 2020 - 21. I got some nitto recon grapplers and I'm not really happy with them. I got the AT4's on our Bronco now and we have two or three thousand miles on them and so far we love them

I'm between these and the new KO3 for my 2012 F-250 farm truck. Sadly by 2012 fusion and 2017 forester also need new summer tires this year, so that's gonna suck. Not sure I'll put ATs on my fusion though 😂

[@charlesb4267]

In the next video you should show a method of how to remove paint overspray on a tire sidewall. I am fairly sure gasoline will remove it but that isn't the kindest to rubber, there are probably less aggressive compounds that can be used. Never tried liquid buffing compound other than on the wax type marker used to mark tires.

[@4-LOW]

I didn't mask off the tire because paint won't stick for long. The rubber releases the overspray naturally.

[@charlesb4267]

@@4-LOW Interesting, that has not been the same experience I have had if I didn't mask perfectly, also have seen purpose painted sidewalls in stripes to allow one to see the tire turning ( winter time with frozen brakes on a trailer ) and that paint just hung on. I would imagine it depends on the properties in the paint. On the other hand had they been worn out tires ... then it wouldn't matter in the least as the tires would hit the scrap tire pile. Masking tires is a total pain in the butt though, I'm sure you know all about that LOL.

[@dirtrider2234]

What’s your trailer weight?

[@chrisking6695]

The wildpeaks are too heavy and hard hence why they last long. Think about it in an off road context, though. I’d rather have a more pliable and soft tire that airs down well and molds over rocks and lugs instead of a harder tire that lasts 65k miles.

[@preacher031163]

Are these rated at the 80 psi ??

[@Gurn-xh5fg]

​@@noahd4039 Lol. Since you asked, my ex US Marine MARSOC Raiders 2007 Oshkosh MTVR AMK23 armored 6x6 gun truck IS a heavy duty class 8 truck. The tires are 53" tall. We look DOWN into 18-wheel tractor-trailer rigs on the interstate. I have to be careful at stop lights, because if I'm stopped behind a light-duty pickup like that F250, I might not even be able to see it, and I don't want to risk running over it accidentally when the light turns green. The MTVR is powered by a 732 cubic inch (12 liter) CAT intercooled turbodiesel with 1,550 foot-pounds of torque. You could put two "deuce and a half" 2-1/2 ton 6x6 trucks in the bed of our MTVR, and we'd still have several tons of payload capacity left over. You could load down a 5-ton 6x6 truck to it's maximum payload capacity by putting 10,000 pounds of stuff in it's bed, and then put the maxxed-out 5-ton 6x6 truck in the bed of our MTVR, and we still wouldn't be over our maximum GVWR.

[@4-LOW]

Why do Ram 2500s get Heavy Duty badges?

[@Gurn-xh5fg]

@4-LOW The same reason Ford puts "Super Duty" on their light-duty pickups- to get people to buy them. Light duty trucks are class 1, 2, and 3 trucks with GVWRs up to 14,000 pounds. Medium duty trucks are class 4, 5, and 6 trucks with GVWRs up to 26,000 pounds. Heavy duty trucks are class 7 and 8 trucks with GVWRs over 26,000 pounds. For example, my ex U.S. Marine MARSOC Raiders 2007 Oshkosh MTVR AMK23 armored 6x6 gun truck is a heavy duty class 8 truck with a GVWR of 62,200 pounds. The double-beadlocked runflat tires are 53" tall. The 732 cubic inch (12 liter) CAT intercooled turbodiesel has 1,550 foot-pounds of torque. We look DOWN into 18-wheel tractor-trailer rigs on the interstate. If I pull up at a stop light behind a light duty pickup like the one in this video, I may not be able to see it over my hood, so I have to remember it's there so I don't accidentally run over it when the light turns green.

In a standard size E rated 285/70/R17 these things weigh 10lbs more than KO3 and TOYO AT3 that’s 40lbs of extra rotational force and drag your trucks are trying to turn. Not only MPG is suffering. Your entire drive train and front end is suffering too. Sorry guys but I like lighter tires that do the exact same thing.

The KO2s are my third set since leaving Goodyear Wranglers. Typically get about 40-45 on the KO2s before they start getting noisy as hell. Time will tell, but so far, I really like both tires. New Michelin Cross Climate 2s on my wife's Camry. Got 50k on the first iteration of the Cross Climates. To be honest, the Michelins are better than either off-road tire in wet weather and are pretty dang good in snow. Just don't have the ground clearance on the car to really have fun in the snow.

Would your tire pressure be off if the tire wear is worse on the edge? The Falkin M/T are less fun in the rain than the A/T3W.

[@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?

[@nickberger3655]

I noticed that they felt a little squirmy on the highway in my ‘21 Tundra TRD Pro. I was coming from a stock Michelin LTX A/T tire which is pretty tame though, so I’m not really sure if that had anything to do with that. I have about 5,000 miles on them now and I don’t really notice that issue anymore. I’m not sure if it had to do with letting the tires wear in, or if I’m just used to the handling characteristics now.

I notice when I switch lanes sometimes truck feels like it’s sliding over. Def could do better on the highway.performance

Nice truck, tires look great, interesting to see how the 4s work out for Falken

[@TheOMEGANOX]

I’ve had my AT4W’s for about 3k miles now, just rotated today since it was oil change time. Truck is a 24 Silverado 3500 Duramax SRW, weighs 8k empty. I pull 20k with it getting my machine from site to site at least weekly. Last tires I had were Yokohama geolandar X-AT’s, the rears didn’t last 10k. I have to run the rears at 70psi or the truck throws a low pressure message, even at that psi the Yokohamas sidewalls would pooch out a bit with the full tongue weight. The AT4W’s don’t budge. That’s something I need when pulling close to triple the weight of the truck. Same goes for the stability in cornering, I run 60psi up front and they show very little flex under side load while supporting the weight of that Duramax. Another big deal for me is the ratio of off-road grip needed to rolling resistance and wear. I think these AT4W’s are probably the industry leaders in that regard, it’s a true AT but with RT grip, in fact I think the only reason anyone would choose the RT01’s over these is for a more aggressive look. All in all, I’m thinking these are the bees knees for my truck and my application. I know a lot of off-roaders were upset that they made a much beefier, heavier and stiffer tire than the AT3W’s but that’s exactly what I needed, before these came out I wouldn’t even consider the AT3W’s.
