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.
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.
@@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.
I'll run ya head into a wall.
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.
What tire pressure psi are you running?
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
Nice, good to hear! I wish these would come stock on the Tacoma.
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.
Interesting yeah more frequent rotations would help. I think I did it every 5k
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!
Yeah it's crazy to see how expensive they've gotten since I posted this video haha
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.
@@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.
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.
Thank you. I'm in Tampa so I understand about the torrential rains at a moment's notice. I care about hydroplaning, wet braking and clearing water.
The tires were great in the water for sure
When I Bought tires it came down to Price $30 difference Ko2 and Wildpeak I chose the Wildpeak and didn’t regret it at all! Great off road Performance and great ride On the road !
Nice, glad they're working for ya!
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!
Nice! Hope they work out for you
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.
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.
Nice!! 🔥
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 ;)
Love to hear it 🔥
I'm narrowing down tires for my 05 4Runner, this one is at the top of the list. Thanks for the review
No problem 👍
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.
Good to hear!! Thanks for watching/commenting 🤙🏼
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.
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
@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.
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.
@@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
Great tires I ran 2 sets of falken wildpeaks on my truck they lasted me almost 4 yrs each they're awesome just finally decided to change the look on my truck and went with the nitto ridge grapplers
How have the ridge grapplers been so far?
Curious if the extra price of the nitro is worth it. I love my wildpeaks but I’m nearing 50k miles
You ran them? What's that cool internet slang?
@@KnightWheelsMediadon’t get them they sucks in rain and snow, I live in snow state those tires get stuck in snow
I run the same exact tire. Same exact size. Love them.
Nice! Thanks for watching
You run the tire?
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
Wow that's wild. Hopefully the Falkens fare better for you!
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.
@@pjduff2duff153 I love my falkens
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.
@@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
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.
Nice!! They're great tires.
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.
Nice! The truck will be plenty capable with the 265s on it, great choice.
I’m a Fl man to and I just pulled the plug and bought a set of these after hearing your and another RUclipsr say they perform great in the rain… thanks
Nice I hope they work out for you!
any updates ? after a year
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.
Good to hear. No snow experience but they were great in the FL rain!
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?
What happened? What did they say?
@@KnightWheelsMedia doubtful, I’ve lived in the same climate all my life. Never had an issue like this before. Up in Canada so we see all four seasons.
@@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.
I loved mine, I ran mine for 31k miles on my Tacoma before I traded it in. About to order a new set of Wildpeak's for my new Tacoma.
Nice!! Love to hear it.
@@KnightWheelsMedia I had them on my Silverado, put 60k miles on them before it was time to change them.
@@Eric.Estrada can't ask for much more than that man haha
I have the nitro terra grappler g2s and I'll say they aren't the best. They are great on the road though. Looking to get the wild peaks next
Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!
I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 4Runner and they are terrifying in the rain, hydroplane constantly, switching out to Wildpeaks right now
I have the Wildpeak’s on my GMC Yukon 265/70/17 at 30,000 miles they are cupping on the inside of each tire and are getting loud with a groan sound. Most of my use is on highway. I will be replacing them with Michelin Defender LTX MS2 265/70R17 116T tires
Sounds about right - hopefully the Michelin works better for you!
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
Did your second set do as well in the snow was the first ones?
@@inthismomentcb yes, they did very well. I Was in and out of Tahoe all Winter and we had a great winter with lots of snow
I love mine i have the 35s and there awesome. Very quite too. I hear now that some people saying one side sticks out more then the other side one side is supposed to be more aggressive I'll have to check that out later.
Might be the case but I never noticed honestly
@KnightWheels I looked yesterday and yes for sure one side has the letters raised out much more. I had no idea.
It was these falkens or general grabber ATXs for me. Went with the grabbers. Might give these a try next time if I swap. Nice video 👍
Nice how do you like the Grabbers?
@@KnightWheelsMedia can’t complain. Like you, looks of the tire was a big factor. I liked the white letters out on my white Tacoma so I chose the grabbers haha.
G2 wear out fast on dirt roads like 15k miles is all falkens are awesome
Gotcha 🤙🏼
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.
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!
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.
I've heard to stay away from K02s. Great choice with the Falkens 👍🏼
I am about to put these tires on my mini van (2018 Chrysler Pacifica) to handle the harsh Alaska winters. 245/50R20. Hope they don't rub. 😁
Good luck!!
@@KnightWheelsMedia got them mounted and balanced today. So far rides great. Fits perfectly. I'm sure it would be better if my vehicle was AWD.
Great video! Always a like from me!
Much appreciated!!
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.
haven't really heard any complaints lately
Looking at getting these. I have a 2020 Tacoma off road and the stock tires are dogshit in the snow. The Goodyears are coming off before next winter, likely going with these. Great review.
Thanks! Definitely recommend the tires.
Which do you think is great in over all.. Falken Wildpeak AT3W or Michelin CrossClimate2? for SUV.. Fair amount of snow. East Coasr
I have not heard anything about the Michelin's so can't really say unfortunately
Im getting the 295/70R18s Wildpeaks on my Ram 2500 next week. The local shop had to order them.
nice!
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??
Definitely haha they take a toll on MPGs big time. But they're solid tires. They seem to hold up really well.
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
Looks good man!!
Thanks boss!
just ordered a set of these in 245/75/17 for my 2017 JK, got a good deal, 209 a piece, lowest I have ever seen them off Walmart site
That's awesome!
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 ?
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.
How do like those icons? I’m think about getting the bronze. Is that what you have. I have the magnetic gray too and I think it matches really good.
Yes the bronze. They’re great 👍🏼
Is your Tacoma lifted? I'm interested in these tires but not sure what's the largest I can do on stock suspension without the lift?
Yes I'm lifted 2"
Check out Tacomaworld there are a lot of resources for that question. It also depends on wheel size/offset. Typically with stock wheels, you can fit 265s without issue and maybe 275s
@@KnightWheelsMedia Thank you 🙏
Are you thinking about another tire when these wear out?
Haven't decided yet! I'd love to try something else but it's also hard to want to do that when these have been so good to me haha
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, absolute junk.
That's crazy. Hopefully the Falkens are better!
i just got them on my Taco yesterday just in time for winter season
Nice! Hope they work out for you
Put a set of 225/55/17 on my outback. Really liked the looks of them. After 2 years they have developed a lot of road noise, to the point, I’m thinking about getting something else
I didn't notice any increase in road noise until around 30k. Probably a consequence of the aggressive tread pattern.
I think going with a less aggressive tire would help with road noise, but would hurt traction.
All tires do that when they wear down
@@KnightWheelsMedia I was wrong. Had bad rear wheel bearing. Tires were fine.
@@tuckerhiggins4336 I was wrong. Had a bad rear wheel bearing . Tires were fine.
@@stevedp58thanks for being honest
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!
Nice!! Did you have any rubbing?
@@KnightWheelsMedia I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 4Runner and they are terrifying in the rain, hydroplane constantly, switching out to Wildpeaks right now
I have the Yokohama geolander at on my rd1 the tires are great except for one thing side walls are too soft with my lifted suspension. The wild Peak AT3 will be my next set of tires.
Interesting. Hopefully the Falkens are better for you
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
Yeah I've heard mixed reviews about that, not quite sure about it but definitely possible given all the manufacturing craziness post-2020.
@@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
@harryforks6708 possible some are confusing the two. I believe the AT3WA did not exist at the time this video was created
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.
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.
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.
So what did you go with??
Bf goodrich 116Q is 50lb the wildpeak is 65lb in the 285/70 17
I just got them for my 4runner, but in the 275/70r17 size, load range C. Weighs like 57lbs
Are these tires the lt version or the p rated version. Thanks great video.
Great question!! Not sure how I forgot to mention that haha these are the LT rated tires
@@KnightWheelsMedia thanks for the info. Nice tires and rims...
What made you get the lt version tire. Was it just for better off road. Stronger tire.
@@kimcapone4791 Just availability honestly. I'm not sure they have this size with P rated tires. But I went with C load since they're a little lighter than if I went E load.
Lt or 10 ply have a deeper tread pattern
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
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.
Does it get good MPG I am going to put. 35s or 37s on my H2
your audio track is so deep based my bose speakers just started making a nasty noise.... first time that happened ..
you're the first to mention that so maybe an issue with the speaker? not quite sure, it doesn't sound too deep on my speakers
Trying to make sure I get the correct tires from the shop just curious if these are the 116T or the 123's AT3W???? Also how much of a decrease did you notice on the mpg? Big difference???
Sorry I'm not sure what you're referring to with 116T or 123. Mine are the C load 275/70R17 AT3W
MPG increase was significant due to the tire size and increased weight of the wheels I put on.
My 2012 TRD sport came with 265's ko2's and I loved the look of them when I saw them on my truck, however, driving in rain sux. I've been watching videos about this tire and love the look of em even more than the ko2's and love the fact that it handles better on wet roads, also I wish these came in 275/70 /16 because I'm looking at getting some black wheels in 16's, so I might just need to get the wheels in 17's, unless you know of a tire that resemble these Falkens in 275/70 /16🤔🤔
not really, but I've heard good things about Nitto tires & they have some good looking options
@@KnightWheelsMedia thank you, I'll check em out 👍🏽
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
The siping is great. They work very well in wet weather conditions.
@@KnightWheelsMedia winter is the most important for me
Thinking abt these 275s for my runner as well. +4 offset pro rims w/ 2" lift. Would be perfect without any trimming and chopping. Do you feel the difference of the weights since these are 58lbs a piece? Thanks
felt it at the gas pump that's for sure haha
I can't decide between these or the Ridge Grapplers?
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
What tire pressure do you run and how did you determine it would be the best?
I was around 40PSI if I remember correctly. Look up the chalk test, that's one way to check.
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.
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
How many ply do you get for your Tacoma?
Unfortunately don't remember at this point, I believe they were the SL load though
Bought these and just disappointed how fast they have worn out. Looked nice but should have gone with KO2 . The look of the tire got me but at least I tried them. Won’t be getting another set of these.
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.
nice Falken tires!
Thanks!!
Do you have a lift kit running the 275 70 17 tire?
Yes I'm on the Eibach Pro Truck Lift (link in description) which gave me around 2" lift
Nice Taco 🌮 & review video 👌🏽😎🤙🏽
Thank you!
Thinking about getting the same wheels. Are you happy with them?
100% no complaints. If you need to find a flaw, they're on the heavier side so MPG will suffer a bit.
I’m looking for a tire that offers a good 60/40 split i.e. 60% on road/40% off road. I’ve seen how some ATs are more aggressive than others and more suited to the latter. I live in Colorado and am looking for (moderate) weekend trail driving. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I’m driving a 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx if it helps. Cheers.
I would say the Falkens are more on the aggressive/off road side. Maybe look at the Cooper Discoverer ATs
@@KnightWheelsMedia Thanks. I’ll take a look!
I have those exact wheels on my 4Runner. Did you have any problems with balancing? I getting steering wheel shimmy around 60mph. I’ve had them balanced 4 times, and someone said it was the wheels because they are lug centric, not hub centric. The shop I bought the wheels from said they didn’t have problems mounting them on 4runners or Tacoma’s. The tire I am running now is the general grabber atx, but I’m thinking about trying these since the grabbers aren’t balancing
Haven't had any issues with balancing but I also don't care enough if they're slightly out of balance haha
@@KnightWheelsMedia lol! Fair enough! I’m 99% sure I’m gonna switch to falkens, just to see haha
My Trd pro 4 runner has steering wheel vibration at 60. Will not go away per Toyota.
I’ve owned two sets of these tires and they always pull hard to the right
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
@@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.
How’s the noise on road?
Overall good. They started to get loud around 30k or so but nothing crazy
Quick question!!!!
Is good on pavement? Is quite?
Good on pavement & pretty quiet though it's louder than stock. They will get louder over time as well.
Pretty loyal to my Duratracs but not the company. I'll take a look at these when it's time. Thanks
Thanks for watching!!
Yours tires is C1 load or SL load?? And how many ply??
Honestly can't remember anymore, but I believe I had the heavier tires.
*haha The gurl with the Manicured Eyebrows picked these tires on Looks Alone and No One is Surprised!*
Lmaoooo what are you so mad about? 😂 🤡
Didn’t wanna do any excessive cutting but still cut the crap out of your bumper to install an aftermarket one lmao
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
Ur left eye is more shut than the other . Same here
Haha unsymmetrical 😂
I read that these are heavy tires, does it actually matter? does you fuel economy suffers?
Yes unfortunately
@@KnightWheelsMedia tnx for the reply
Are these LT tires
yes
Did you get the 10ply rated ones? Or the 4 ply?
I believe I ended up getting the 4ply because they were a bit lighter & better for daily driving.
Is there a way to tell from the tire on whether it is a 4 or a 10 ply, Thank you
What load did you go with?
I wanna say C if I remember correctly
What is the tyre noise like?
Wasn't bad until around 30k then they got a little louder
What dimension rim are you running
17x8.5" 0 offset
how is the road noise from tread?
Didn't start to notice until around 30k
@@KnightWheelsMedia thanks. that seems to b the norm. new quiet and as wear they get louder
Bumper info
It's the Backwoods Adventure Mods Hi-Lite Bumper. Check out this video I did a few weeks back: ruclips.net/video/9fg9ljSfubM/видео.html
I will say this. I liked the Falken Wildpeaks. But, no way dod i ever get 20,000 miles. At least not here in Central New York. Great tire but milage is very questionable.
That's interesting, maybe different asphalt types or driving style. In this video the tires are at 20k and you can see they have a ton of tread life left.
Not sure about trusting tires made in Thailand.
To each their own I suppose, they're great tires though
These tires are heavy as hell slow down my truck and killing on gas…
Definitely heavy lol when I made this video gas wasn't very expensive
hows mpg?
With bigger tires like this? Terrible lol
Heavier wheels and tires really killed the MPG. I was getting around 14-15 before tuning
How quiet on a scale from 1 to 10
Kind of a sliding scale. When I first got them a 4 and after about 20-25k it was up to a 7
just got my
Nice!
Weren’t driving during Covid? 😂ok
well yeah, during 2020 I no longer had to commute to work every day. So I was driving significantly less than normal.. as most people were
These tires are TRASH if you wheel in sharp rocks. I cut 3 side walls, 2 to the point of failure, just running trails in Colorado.
Wow I haven't heard that before. Have you had better luck with different tires?
I dont care what the tread patern is how about telling me how the tire performs
Try actually watching the video next time bud. RUclips has this pretty neat feature where you can fast forward to the part you're interested in. I know, mind blowing!
Are they quiet?
Not terrible for essentially being mud tires
TRD_tacotom says waduup!
Thanks for watching! 🔥
