Falken Wildpeak A/T4W Tires | NOW Available at DTC

[lightsout]

The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W is here at last and the new A/T4W is shaping up to outshine its immensely popular A/T3W in every respect. This includes tread depth, weather protection, and on-and off-road performance.

Previously only available on the Wildpeak R/T and Wildpeak M/T, Falken has introduced their three-ply DURASPEC technology into the A/T4W (available on select sizes). This construction is stiffer and thicker compared to it's 2-ply counterpart, to endure harsh off-road conditions. No matter the terrain, from smooth highways to rough paths, this all-terrain tire will keep you safe and secure. The three-peak mountain snowflake weather indication and weather-focused tread composition and pattern give it the ability to tackle almost any weather condition.

If you've already got your hands on a new set of WildPeak A/T4W tires for your Jeep Wrangler, we'd love for you to share your initial impressions along with a picture or two!

-KEY FEATURES-

• A brand-new rubber tread composition ensures your tires provide long-lasting comfort on the road.
• Falken introduced their revolutionary 3-ply DURASPEC Sidewall Technology. This technology is only available on certain sizes.
• The new staggered shoulder blocks and projecting sidewall lettering work together for an extra grip, even on tough conditions.
• The latest Heat Diffuser technology releases trapped heat from within the tire. This provides even more stability. Whether you're towing or carrying a heavy load.
• Increased tread stiffness and a sturdy build allow for greater load capacities and tire pressures than A/T3W.
• The tread pattern is both familiar and amplified. It has 3D Canyon Sipes and a silica-enhanced compound to improve performance and traction in snowy, icy, and rainy weather.

Any Hope for a 18x37?

Any Hope for a 18x37?

Haven't heard any news on 37" tire in the 18 as of yet.

 

[lightsout]

If FedUp will do their job and actually make my delivery today, I will start my long term review with these tires tonight. I bought the 35x12.50R18 size. They're listed at 72 lbs. That's a few lbs. more than competitors' tires but not awful.

I'll have a review vid up on my channel tonight or tomorrow. The change in rubber compound makes me nervous, but I will find out soon enough if they are as good in the weather as the A/T3W.

18's never get any love and it was Discount Tire that talked me out of 17's when I bought rim and tire package originally, Hard to find decent A/T 37's for 18". While available in the R/T those are 82lbs and not 3-peak... I can find 35's in most brangs for 18" but 37's are limited.

Well FedEx delivered 3 of my tires. Sigh.... my issues continue.

Discount Tire is amazing, as always, and they are helping me as we speak. At least I can get some real pictures and video of this new tire in a 35" later today. It's raining hard at the moment, will get to it a little later.

I'm liking what I see. The A/T3W LOOKS better aesthetically but the A/T4W does have some nice upgrades. Duraspec sidewalls, two different sidewall designs, added rigidity in the tread blocks, a warranty, 3 peak mountain snowflake rating, etc. etc. This particular size is a "HD Spec" size, which means it's even more robust for use on a full size HD pickup truck, which is exactly what I'm going to do. Instead of fitting these to a Jeep, I'm going to fit them to my F-250 Powerstroke so that I can really beat on them this year and see how they hold up to snow, rain, cold, heat, and towing heavy trailers to off-road parks. Time will tell if the new rubber compound can perform as well as the A/T3W tire does, despite the mileage warranty. Usually higher mileage warranty = harder rubber compounds = less friction = less traction. Will that be true here, or did Falken work magic?

(1080p version of the video is uploading, should be viewable in better resolution later tonight)

Your real-life review will be of interest to me, as I'll be replacing tires in the next couple of months. Thanks!

I want to upgrade to 285/70/17 on my Sport S.

The OEM tires are the Bridgestone Dueller AT, and they are SL rated and weight in at 38 pounds according to Tire Rack.

I love the look for the Falken Wildpeaks, but in LR C they are very heavy at 65 pounds, not quite double what my stock tires weigh. I see the Toyo A/T III in LR C only weighs 56 pounds.

Would I be asking for trouble with the Falken Wildpeak AT/4 on my otherwise pretty stock Sport S? I do some moderate off-roading occasionally but maybe the AT/4 is overkill? The Toyo's seem to be well regarded too and come in at 10 pounds lighter. Decisions, decisions...

Yes, if nothing else that would put you over the 85 pound limit for the spare tire + wheel on the tailgate, which means you'd need to add reinforcement or a different tire carrier. Falkens are mid-grade tires at best and I think in the past, though I have not confirmed, part of it is they use heavy steel plies instead of lighter high-tensile steel like other manufacturers do. I really don't understand why so many people buy them. I buy U.S. made; not everyone cares about that, but in any event, there are lots of other, lighter choices out there.

But the best choice of all is to find someone selling the KO2s off their Rubicon and score those for cheap, much less than buying new tires.

Just about every tire comparison test and review demonstrates these tires are better than KO2s in nearly every metric aside from weight, especially in the wet, but even with things such as on-road noise. People are buying these tires because they are _better_. I've owned both, back to back, and have personally experienced the differences in performance and road noise, some of which are striking.

The weight is about the only downside I've seen noted, and if you compare them with the MT BB ATs, which are probably the closest competitor, they are better on-road tires (less noise, better traction) in most daily conditions, slightly worse off-road and in certain types of snow, and about the same weight at the MTs, so they are competitive in-class with equivalent A/T tires in this size.

The Falken A/T[34]Ws aren't competing with KO2s, those are a tier down in performance, they are competing with the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts.

Oh man, I hadn't even thought of that angle. Thanks for pointing that out, that's probably enough for me to drop them from consideration and go for a lighter tire.

For wet performance I was thinking more like the General Grabber ATX, Toyo Open Country A/T III, or Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S as alternatives to the Falkens. I agree the KO2 aren’t the greatest in wet weather, according to all the reports.

I moved recently to Greenville SC, and we get a lot more rain here than in Denver. Wet/rainy performance is important now. I have also heard the KO2s aren't the greatest in wet weather.

I have 315/70/17 Wildpeak AT3 and AEV JK Borah wheels with NO tire carrier reinforcement. NO issue for the 6 months I have had them on the tailgate!

No is sayin you can't, they are poining out that is exceeds the weight rating of the tailgate without additional support. As other have experienced with exceeding that weight without support over time the hinges will start to sage also placing more weight on the latch mechanism. It is more like a cancer to the tailgate especially with more offroad use. At the very least you need a sparetire relocation bracket which also adds even more weight.

I have seen multiple versions of that "limit", including that the 85 lbs is weight beyond the stock wheel/tire. Lots of people put stuff on the inside of their door (grills, etc), so it seems unlikely that simply increasing the weight of the whell ad tire would cause a problem.
The bigger issue is making sure there is tight contact with the tire stop so it doesn't move around - that would certainly cause stresses on the door.
