Anyone tried Falken Wildpeak on a Disco assuming they do 18”. Have seen many good reports. Currently have Bridgestone D697 which I couldn’t be more happier with. Prices do vary greatly.
I like the Falkens. Mine are 17 inch so can also get as an LT tyre at 245/70R17. They are a good priced tyre. The slightly extra height is good, I don’t notice any road noise (but do have a roof rack which I do hear), and they drive well on the highway in wet and dry conditions. Yet to truly test off-road.Quote:

I had the first batch of D697 Duellers delivered in Aus on my D4 back in the first year of ownership, then fitted a second set... Were good, however had problems with the sidewalls.Quote:

In the meantime, the wife got an L320 RRS with 19s and we threw those awy and fitted my old 18" Simmons wheels and a shiny new set of Falken AT3Ws... again the experience has been excellent.
I'm about due to replace my rubber again and wil be going to Falken in the same size to enable commonality and ability to share spares etc across three vehicles (my D2 project is being reduced back to same diameter from the previous 33.3"s as it wont need them).
Falken At3W are an exceptionally good performing tyre. If they made a 19" for those owners it would sell pretty nicely here in AU
Please provide an update in a while as to your impressions of them. Plenty of 19" owners will no doubt be interested in another option.Quote:
