Tires Falken or FEDERAL

Falken wildpeak at4s. I have had mine for a while and love them on and off-road.

With regular tire rotation I used the tires that came with the car for 65000 miles. I think the brand was Falken. 2019 Forester. My driving is mostly city driving in New York City, which has rough roads.

My 2019 Crosstrek Limited made it to 90k miles on the original Falken Ziex tires before it got close to the wear indicator. Probably coulda done better if I rotated as often as I was supposed to

I ran 265/70/17 Wildpeaks on my stock 2018 for years and had no major issues with them. They are a bit heavy and my personal experience was they did not balance the best, but maybe that was addressed with the AT4s.

I got 60k out of Falken Wildpeak A/T. Only rotated them once, probably could have gotten 70k if I rotated them more frequently. Mostly highway miles.

Just did an 8k mile road trip on new Wildpeak AT4Ws and they were excellent for everything from freeway to up the side of a mountain. Nice and quiet, drives easy, and three peak mountain snowflake rated.

Wildpeak AT trails have been great for me in South America.

Had AT3s on my Tacoma and they were good tires but I only got 40k before they started really sliding in light rain. Switched to Pirelli Scorpions last month as they were $180 vs $211 for the AT4 at Discount. Pirellis are very quiet and smooth so far.

In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.

I don’t know about Falken AT/4, but the AT3’s were the worst tire I’ve ever owned.

Bad enough that I’d never consider a Falken product again. Punctured easy, (three flats in 30,000 miles, first one within 4,000 miles). Rock grabbers and rock throwers. Terrible in deep snow.
