- These are everything you'd expect from a Falken tire. I'm loving them. More updates coming. I only have a few thousand miles so far but I wanted to update you on how they're handling terrible weather. #tires #offroad #trucks

Really appreciate the honest feedback man about 25 days ago. I had a set a BFGKO3 put on and they rode absolutely awful my f250 rode worst experience ever and the tread was not holding up. It was already falling apart and less than 2000 miles. I don’t recommend those but I’m very excited to get these falcon tires I should’ve went with them in the first place they don’t stalk them where I live so I have to special order them 45 day trial so they’re gonna swap them out for free
Good video. I love my AT3s but feel like they are wearing a bit faster than I'd like. Time will tell but when it's time to replace them, the new AT4 is top on my list. My experience with the AT3s in the snow is the same as yours, one of the if not the best ATs in the snow.
I had the old falken ato2’s on my old jeep and they were terrible had bad traction and i havent ran falkens since mostly goodyear and bfg’s. Going to give falken another go with the at4’s on my Tacoma
I’m getting mine delivered tomorrow from Tire Rack. They represented to be 4 ply.
Good review..thanks. My AT3's are coming to their end and I ordered the AT4's...just don't have my 37 12.5x20 size as of yet. Hopefully in about 1.5-2 months or I will have to get something else.
What size tire you running?
How’s the noise compared to KO2?
That is a beautiful part of the country. Where are you? I need to move out of the concrete jungle lol
How do these compare the to the Falken RT's in on road noise?
The R/T is louder on the highway for sure. Neither are terrible but the R/T is louder.
I have Toyo RT trail. If I switch to the Falken AT4 is it going to be a better ride or about the same??
The AT4s are the best out there so yeah
just got the at4w on my subaru and will be headed up to the mountains today to try them out. looking forward to the stronger sidewalls since ive punctured a few here on these Colorado trails. These weigh about 3 lbs more than the at3w (in my size) so we will see if I feel the difference.
update - went from 25mgp with the blizzaks to 22 with these. tires have been amazing, but they do pick up a lot of rocks in the tread
It's a heavier tire but it's also harder material which equates to better mpg vs softer material my guess its Close.mpg
@noctilucent7396 yep! and as an update , Tires worked incredibly well in a foot of snow. They did amazing in mud but have not taken them on trail yet. I am averaging .5 MPG higher with these than with my Blizzak snow tires. good buy for sure!
I've got Falken WP M/Ts in a 33" (LT285/70R17) @ 61.3#/ea on my Jeep Gladiator. Looking to move up to a 35x11.50R17, but wanting to hold down the noise & the MPGs. At Discount Tire, these A/T4s are $314.00 /ea @ 68.5#/ea. TOYO AT3s are an option at only 63#, but $368/ea. --- Feedback?
Have em never noticed em
How the noise on the street? Been heavily debating these between the Cooper Discoverer XLT. I only do about 20-30% off road.
Definitely get these over the coopers
I just had a 4 hour road trip today on these on my ram 1500 and it’s not bad at all
The absolute best AT tires on the market! Alas, too heavy for my purpose!
Go skinnier like 255, tall skinny is better for offroad anyway and drastically helps save on weight. Wide fat tires absolutely murder MPG etc.
Don't be afraid of the weight, the harder material they used will aid in getting better mpg for the weight
@@noctilucent7396 - That’s silly! For the size tire that i desired i selected Toyo AT3s (not a soft compound tire in E load) saved approximately 14 pounds per tire compared to the Wildpeak 4s. That’s a significant increase in rolling mass and its undesirable effects (poor fuel economy, sluggish acceleration, poor handling, poor braking etc, increased wear and tear on suspension, etc…)! A harder tire compound does NOT negate the effects of increased tire WEIGHT! Where did you find that erroneous information (which incidentally contradicts a century of proven science).
@Bacnow The harder rubber compounds help negate potential loss of mpg by reducing the amount of energy loss as heat during tire deformation. When a tire rolls its tread and sidewalls flex, causing energy to be converted into heat. This energy loss results in lower fuel efficiency. A harder rubber compound resist flexing more effectively. Minimizing the amount of energy loss and thus.... helps maintain better fuel efficiency.
@@noctilucent7396 - Most all terrain tires (which are typically load range E) sport a harder compound! A harder compound in a tire COULD grant you a very slight increase in MPG that may not even be noticeable for the average driver! An increase in weight (rolling mass) WILL result in a noticeable decrease in fuel economy, acceleration, braking performance, handling, etc… You should probably do some additional research (to discover what most of us have through experience) before spouting that nonsense!
Im Curious as to how it affected your MPG. Like others, I’m concerned with the weight. I have the ridge grapplers right now, but will be ready for new tires soon.
Diesels just shrug off the weight difference. Inconsequential next to the 8k weight of the vehicle
How was the towing experience, any better?
The sidewalls feel great! No sway.
@@4-LOW ordered my set last week and am looking forward to seeing how well they handle. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Buddy why don’t ya have a remote start ? If not what ya waiting on ? Start truck 20 minutes before ya go out then wala all warmed up when ya go out there ..👍
I would be looking into replacing the thermostat. These new diesels should need much if any of a warmup. I have a 2017 SD with the 6.7 bone stock and if I start it in the 20's outside and just get in and drive I'm well over 100 degrees within a mile or 2
Wish you were driving a Cummins
he wants to make it to his destination though
@@drivingwiththeboyz4552 haha 😂 we found the guy who drives an Altima!
Tired of people complaining about weight on these as if there is any MPG difference between the AT3W.
Another example of number watchers who don’t actually use the tool they review
Right there with ya. If a little extra weight per tire is gonna affect your rig that much then maybe it’s time for a different rig.
@@jasoncox2132 thank you! But I noticed it seems to be mainly jeep guys and that makes sense cause they’ve never been known for their power
@@OutdoorCanadians Yeah that’s probably what it is. Mine is a F250 6.7 diesel and I have had 90lb mickeys to 70lb nittos and I can’t tell the difference. Haha
Try changing your thermostat.
I WANTED gen grabbers until these popped up...
No thank you, the weather sucks!!!!
It irritates me when drivers dont take the time to clean off their windows. Its negligent and indicates laziness.
Falken lost me with the AT4 , almost 9 lbs heavier ! Per tire . Im out for new ko3's or toyo's
How bout Mickey Thompson baja boss a/t's?
@@mikeanderson7136 micky' s mite be in my running
@danz007, mickeys will absolutely be my next tire on my Raptor.
They are incredible tires.
I like you wanted the Falkens as well but that huge weight bump has me concerned.
I ran 2 sets of KO2's.
I liked em but didn't love them.
Jury is still out on the ko3...
What kind of grocery getter you driving to worry about 36lbs😮
2019 F150 4x4 and i work it , i know from experience that going bigger on tire size and increasing weight can and will cause premature ware on bearing and differential , not an engineer but know it also will affect fuel mileage but to each his own 🤙
Falkens downfall is the weight.
They ARE heavier. Just put a set of 31s on my '93 XJ. Love em!!
Doesn’t matter if you have a diesel
KO3's aren't much lighter.
Running a 3/4 or 1 ton it basically makes no difference when you have a Toyota or jeep that is the same weight as 4 tires then maybe
Weight only equals more traction.
WTF
Just because there is SNOW❄ in the ditch 🤡does NOT mean you are tresting the tires in the snow🤡
You do get that - Dont' Cha"???
