Tires Falken or NANKANG

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

They are cheap and as good as the main brands. I have been using mine for three years no problem at all.

I have always had a great experience with Falken tires. I’ve recommended them many times but I do wonder if something has changed in the last few years to their formula or manufacturing process?

I replaced to OEM Falken ziex100as as they were horrible in snow on my Mazda.

These came stock on my Tacoma TRD Off Road Hybrid. AT3/Wa, 18” wheels. They have only 2 ply sidewalls and are trash. A 1/8” stick punctured the sidewall yesterday. Don’t take them off road.
