I’m happier with the Falkens, to be honest. Quiet on the road and show less wear.
AT4W - 265/75R/16 stock SR suspension.
Initial weekend thoughts:
- I sit slightly higher with these bigger tires. Just barely enough for me to notice though as I look over my steering wheel. I previously had on the stock 245/75R/16 HW tires.
-MPG’s don’t take a hit on regular roadways up to 45 MPH but getting on the freeway is when I feel some resistance. The truck feels heavier/slower and MPGs are reduced by 2-3 MPGs on the freeway as I’m accelerating more frequently to reach and stay at my desired speed.
-There is virtually no road noise difference from the stock tires, at least not what I’ve been able to tell so far.
-I feel the road more, speed bumps feel more sensitive for example.
-The A/T tread is picking and throwing up some rocks from the road.
I’ve only had them for the weekend so far but I love the functionality of these tires and they also add that desired aggressive look I have been longing for. I’m excited to take these off pavement real soon.
with the Falkens on, the traction is a lot better than the stock Hankooks.
I just got new tires. Went from MT Geolandars to Wildpeak AT4W.
I miss the more aggressive look of the MT but I’m loving the smoother ride of the AT4Ws.
I have Falken Wildpeak AT4W LT285/70R17 on mine and with the rims they weigh about 92lbs each and I’ve had zero problems.
Falken Pro G5 A/S in Southeast Wisconsin. Works well for me all year around.
Falken Wildpeaks are a good value AT compared to some other brands
I got slightly larger tires (I think 235/65/r17 but could be wrong) but they fit and look nice. Falkan wild peaks, they’re 3 ply and slightly heavier so they’re basically a money sink. Worse fuel economy, more road noise, more expensive to purchase. Buuuuut… Look cooler, better off road / snow performance, less likely to pop from impact.
I put Falken Ziex (65k) on a Honda Civic 10th Gen. didn’t even make it to 40k. Never again. Rotated every oil change (5k). I know the heat had something to do with it (Florida) but the streets here are smooth as butter.
I replaced to OEM Falken ziex100as as they were horrible in snow on my Mazda.
