    Falken Wildpeak AT3W

    Just got new boots for the fridge (2016 D4 TDV6)

    Falken AT3W’s In LT285/60R18

    Issues:
    1. minor rub on reverse full lock right. Nothing on left lock and nothing when moving forward. I’ll find the spot, break out the heat gun and make some space in the wheel well liner (minor).
    2. Had to remove heat shield from exhaust rear as it prevented the spare from fully seating when raised. I’ll fabricate up something in alum sheet that fits better and allows clearance.
    3. Factory hitch receiver interferes with spare. I’ll either move to a Mitch-hitch or (more likely) shave off 5 mm from the back of the receiver. Spare tyre is deflated to fit (yes, I have an under-hood compressor)
    4. Speedo is 4kmh pessimistic at 100kmh (ie I’m doing 104 GOS measured with a Speedo speed of 100. Will address with my GAP tool.

    Review:
    1. Feels great on road at all speeds. I’ve had K02’s (agricultural), D697’s (nice but puncture easy and get noisy after 50%) and Cooper ZEON (crap all round) .. hated them.
    2. In sand? Dunno but they’re safe to 8PSI on the Compo’s so should have a great footprint
    3. On rocks? Dunno but I’ll find out soon when I give Mundaring powerlines another go
    4. In mud? I’ll never find out!

    Bit exxy $395/tyre fitted and balanced but currently there’s a 4 for the price of 3 offer which was pretty good. I got 5.

    With these bigger tyre combos are people running at a higher ride height setting (ie +30mm) all the time and if so, do you have the wheel alignment performed at that or standard height.

    I notice when i raise my car to those heights i have some negative camber on the rears and wouldn't want to prematurely where the tyres if the higher height is the norm for clearance...

    Cheers

    No but they’re brand new. After 20,000 kms we’ll see. The K02’s drones from new.

    I’m guessing that is why you put those Coopers straight back onto Gumtree. Assuming you we’re the person that bought the Compos from Gumtree recently.

    Yep. They did nothing for the car except make it feel less refined.

    They are hands down the most popular tyre on the MQ and MR Trito forums. Cheers

    That is an infinitely better looking vehicle than the D5 or new Defender.
