These are quieter on the road, but that could be the more luxury cab interior. I don't feel or hear vibrations like I always did in my brother's 4x4s back in the day. They seem like a decent overall tire. They handled mud okay, and don't track up the grass on my properties, and did okay on some snow and ice recently.
I've had the wild peaks for years and love them, ill probably replace them with another set. That being said I do a fair amount of snow driving and trail driving in the summer.
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers (similar to Falken Wildpeak) on my 2017 FXT Touring, and have Michelin CC on my wife’s Lexus RX, and given your situation I’d say the Michelin CC would do the trick and be a more comfortable drive with better MPG.
I’m in Maine tried them both, liked the wild peaks so much I put them on my wife’s suv, and my sons crosstrek. They are my all time favorite and incredibly high quality.
Tires are on, I went with LT285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT4W in C load range. They are a legit 34x11.5 and are pretty heavy since they are the beefier Duraspec sidewall, coming in a 68 lbs, but still C load range. So tough, but with a smoother ride and potentially more flex than an E rated. I wanted to stick with the factory wheels, because A) they look great B) I don't want a higher scrub radius for clearance and wear/ tear, C) saves money.
Falken Wildpeak AT4.
I use them on the trails all the time, they’re great. Better on snowy pavement than my buddies KO2s as well
Falken Rubitrek. I don't go off road much so they are as aggressive as I need, but with better road manners.
Have them on a RAV4 TRD and they are nearly the same as the Falken that were stock, both are not really a truck winter tire in my opinion.
I’m seeing the same thing on mine, not to mention my side walls are cracking on one tire. I am at about 60,000 miles so there technically out of warranty but still the fact that I’m seeing dry, rot and cracks all over the place is ridiculous. I’m in Maryland, it’s not particularly hot. But overall pretty disappointed in the next set of tires isn’t gonna be Nitto.
40k is a pretty good run for the OE Falkens. I recently replaced the same OE tires on my Crosstrek at 24k. They had been already performing poorly in the wet for a while.
