Best AT tire I've ever ran.

[IdowaJeeper]

I love tires! I love the science and the tech behind what makes a great tire, and what makes an awful tire. I have been driving some sort of 4wd vehicle off-road for over 40 years and have owned dozens of vehicles and ran dozens of tire designs.

I loved trying the latest tires in search of the Holy Grail of tires; a tire that performed above average in all terrains such as mud, snow, ice, sand, rocks, and on the street. It had to be relatively quiet, wear like iron, look cool, and not be ridiculously overpriced.

Such a tire does not simply exist. You can't have a tire that grips well on ice and packed snow, yet still wears like iron. A rubber compound that grips well on ice is so soft that it will wear quickly and tear easily on rocks.

Also, a tire that is quiet on the street cannot be good in the mud. If it has voids large enough to resist hydroplaning and shed mud, then it will be noisy and rough riding on the street.

Anybody that knows anything about off-road tires knows this.

Then I discovered a tire that was my unicorn. A tire that when mounted on my 2019 4Runner, exceeded all expectations. It did incredibly well on packed snow, deep snow, ice, and slush.

Then I road-tripped to Yuma, AZ and found that it was pretty quiet and handled well on the freeway. I took it out in the desert with a Jeep club and tackled deep sand, sharp rocks, and brutal trails. Amazingly, the tires did not get cut up or chip, or chunk, or show any wear.

I ran those tires for 40k miles or so before I traded in the 4Runner for my Tundra. They still had over 60% tread. Amazing! So I bought another set for the new Tundra. Those tires have given the same phenomenal performance in all terrains and weather.

So when I bought my new JL and needed some 35" tires that would do well in everything, of course I ordered a set of the best all-around tire I have ever ran...

These tires are the best kept secret in the industry.

I made a couple of amateur YouTube videos of them. One when I first put them on in the winter, and another after finding them amazing in the desert...





And at about 25k miles...

Perhaps a good tire, the long lead in story keep them guessing presentation however was IMHO

finding falcons are pretty good. Set of commercial grade on my RV, on my G Cherokee a set of wildpeak at3w, very impressive ride. Quite, smoother, takes hits smoother. When the Ko2 run out, I'm trying a set of 35's

No video proof. Just a meme.

Sounds like somebody is a paid spokesperson that did not make enough on YouTube

So far even though I have not driven my Jeep on anything else, my Falken WildPeak Mudder tires are doing well on road, rain or shine. The only issue for the wide tread is road noise. But it's not as loud as other mudder tires.

Whose the shill?

Tough crowd...

Not a shill and not paid. I just have been super happy with my tires and thought others would like to know of a great tire.

But, I guess some folks here get triggered by other people liking something different than they do.

Besides, do you really think Goodyear is going to pay some fat guy with horrible video editing skills to promote their tires?

I just switched to falken wildpeak at4w on my pick up. I’ve put a couple hundred thousand on at3’s and have been thoroughly impressed.

OP came on here calling a tire "Best" People jumped on him right away haha.
Honestly I thought he would say Baja Boss ATs...

Glad you like At4w, I think I'll try wild peak r/t as my next tire in 38.

So you’re enjoying your free tires?

I appreciate you taking the time to post. I'm in the market for tires for my 1500 crew pickup. I'm coming from a R/T type tire and want quiet/fuel economy. I was looking for these after you posted, but could not find them on the Goodyear site. Are they a new or a discontinued model?

Glad you like them, but 1, they are load range E and too hard for a wrangler. 2. The tread blocks are too close together and certainly pack with little rocks even worst than the K02s.

You want a good Goodyear tire, try the Duratracs. I’m certain they do everything better.

Not really... Just air them down appropriately. A chalk test indicated that I need to air my E-rated Discoverer AT3 LTs (my fave tire) down to 22-24 lbs on the street. A side benefit to that is I don't need to air down all that often when I go off road.

My thoughts are that the "C rated only" lore comes from lightweight CJs, YJs, and TJs. My JLUR is around 6000lbs when loaded up.
