Tires Falken or Vredestein

I have had 2 sets of Duratracs and 1 set of Wildpeaks. Wildpeaks are awesome, quiet tires. The Duratracs last way longer and are better for mud and off road but will be a little louder.

I have Falken Wildpeaks on 2 vehicles and love them. The KO3s are stiffer so you will have worse road feel on regular roads but better performance off road.

I have ran Falken Wildpeaks, BFG AT, and Pirelli Scorpion across a few different jeeps and trucks. I like the Wildpeaks the best. Scorpions were too loud and BFG were fine, no real issues.

I’m on my second set of falken wildpeaks at/4. I like them but I’ll be moving over to the wildpeak h/t02 as I’m not doing as much off roading as I used to .

I’m running falken wild peak at4ws on my 23pb and love them. Mpg took a small hit but she’s a farm truck part of the time so the trade off was well worth it.

Apex VS-5 17x9

Falken Azenis RT615K+ in 255/40/17.

Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.

12/30/25: Discount Tire- Falken WildPeak AT3W warranty replacements due to out of round with 4270 miles - replaced with WildPeak AT4Ws (2) - Road forced balanced FL- 8lbs with .75 inner left… FR 11lbs with 1.0 inner left - OOR AT3Ws 55lbs could not balance correctly- 50-60mph shake not present as of now

I blew my Falken at 8k miles. They're trash.

The Falken tires are indeed terrible. Mine needed to be replaced at just 18K miles. I recently opened a case with Mazda Corporate and they ended up reimbursing me for about 60 percent of my Michelin CrossClimate2s. The process was quick and their customer service was excellent.
