Falken at3

[laney]

So who has used the falken wild peaks at3 and what ks are you getting out of them what are they like in the wet and do they make much noise on the black top thanks.

[Tombie]

Do a search mate. Several running them.

[laney]

Done a search no one has really given an answer as to the km they are getting.

Excellent in the wet, dry, and dirt on the D2.
A bit squirmy on the work Trytoo, but they are 75 profile vs 60 on the D2.
Outright grip on the Trytoo is so far above the OE Bridgestone's in wet and dry cornering and braking it isn't funny

Can't give a mileage figure, I'm lucky to have done 10,000km on the D2 ones so far.
Probably 20,000km on the Trytoo.

I have a set probably done about 15,000km very impressed so far. Dealer told me they may be a bit loud on the highway but to be honest i can not hear a thing.

I have heard others say they are garbage on other utes, ect, and they say in the wet is the worst. I am wondering if its got something to do with 2wd vs 4wd because my are brilliant in the wet too

[OldGuy]

They are my tyre of choice with our D4 on 18's, only done about 10,000 with this one and great so far. Another prevoius vehicle, had 70k on the Falkens a lot on dirt roads. Fantastic in all conditions including in the wet on the black top. At this point l will be sticking with them.

On my D4 we’ve just rolled through 50k and plenty left…

This is in 265/60 18 which has less tread than the 16” sizes.

It's the best wet weather AT I've used.
If you overstep the mark, breakaway is nice and predictable. (I tend to drive a lot harder/faster than the average punter)

275 55 20 on my RRS just over 20K about 1/3 worn, definitely the best AT tire I have driven on the road wet or dry. Noise is better than most ATs also. I don't care if they don't last as long as others as I prioritise grip over longevity when driving a 2.5t 500hp wagon.

That is exactly the way I roll but seldom do I see it mentioned in tyre discussions. The vast majority of comments revolve around tread wear.

Yep…

Never go cheap!

They would be people who are driving the car, and assuming they are comparing these tyres to others. One I know of was the brother inlaws boss (electrician work ute) under normal driving in wet weather he claimed it was the worst tyre he had ever used. Claimed it was horrible underbraking and general driving in the wet. A bit of a background on the bloke, he grew up racing all sorts of things from bikes to cars ect and owns a few pretty nice muscles cars. Also when I did some research before I bought them I did come across a few others saying similar things. Me I reckon they are brilliant in everyway.

Also I don't know how hard/fast and average punter drives so I cannot comment on whether you drive harder/faster.

[gavinwibrow]

Only trouble is they don't do them in 19", nor do Toyo, so looks like I'll have to stick with the Pirellis.
Maxxis and Wranglers are the only other 19" options I've found in my initial searching so far.

[ramblingboy42]

mine have about 50k on them, there is an odd 697 on rhrear, and cooper spare neither which have quite as much milage but look so much worse and let go in the wet which the wildpeaks don't do unless provoked.

they (the wildpeaks) still look in very good condition and much quieter than any other tyre I've used

I don't normally make recommendations for vehicle products , but for a really good all round a/t tyre , I'd say yes.

Ex-race driver here, raced karts then cars.
Was employed to test and setup clients cars in a previous life
Oh, and the SC gets turned off in the ute in the wet, too.

Thanks all

Currently running with a set of Falken AT3W's and, as others have mentioned above, brilliant in every way. Just shy of 10K km at the moment, with tread wear so far being minimal, but performance on wet bitumen and loose gravel is just brilliant. First real decent set of tyres on the ol girl since I've owned the vehicle and I wouldn't hesitate sticking with them in future if they continue to be manufactured...

[@JamesHughes]

I run them on my work Navara. Done 80ks so far and they probably have a good 20ks left in them.
Mainly highway usage but I do do a fair bit of corrugated roads as well.
Perform well on the beach and don’t have a problem in the wet.
I’ll be changing to them on my landy when they are due
Hope this helps.
