We have Falken Wildpeaks on the D4 (albeit in 20" rims, haven't quite jumped to the 18" rims yet).
They are fantastic on the wet tar and give plenty of grip on dirt roads and ride well on hard and soft sand. Had them for only about 8,000k's so can't yet comment on their longevity.
Would definitely fit them again.

Just arrived: 2012 D4 3.0 HSE, the journey begins again ;-).
Gone: 98 Disco 300tdi Auto, and some extras
I run 265/65/18 BFG Ko2 on the front and 285/60/18 Ko2 on the rear which have the same rolling radius. The additional benefit is that 285/60/18 is the size on 200 series land cruisers. KO 2’s work well for me living at
Point Lookout on Stradbroke island. The extra width let’s me float on sand.
Also running the Falkens & very happy.
Just fitte d the Falken as well after 1 cooper stt failed and 2 were very close to failing on our way to Perth from Darwin.
Only done 1000ks in them but they were very good in the wet windy conditions coming down from Geraldton . Like the look of them as well , plus the ears are a lot better without the constant drone of the coopers stt.

I was very interested initially in the Falken AT3W's but moved away from them due a number of reports regarding poor wear and sidewall punctures.
They are also a 'P' rated tyre ((P)assenger) as opposed to an LT.
I was also interested in them because of low noise level and good on wet bitumen ..... and I could have picked them up for a good price.
Decided to go with the Radar Renegade RT+ as suggested by Tombie and they should arrive this coming week.

Interesting comment regarding the sidewall strength. They are available as an LT and have them on my D4. Have used them on previous vehicles with no sidewall dramas at all, as others have said very happy, in fact it is sometimes required to drop a few more psi than normal

Never seen a report on AT3Ws having sidewall issues. The sidewall is insanely strong on them.
I’d have them again after this tyre.
