I've put these on my 2018 Pathfinder 4WD 2 years ago, 27,000 miles. The OEM Toyo Open County that came on it only lasted 30K miles... I live in upstate SC & we get some snow in the winter, & I drove them in 6 inches of snow & never slipped or loss traction. They are smooth & quiet at 70mph freeway driving also.. These are great tires for a crossover/ SUV..
Good video! I have them on my Crosstrek and love them. I spend 5 months a year in Vt on snowy roads and they are fantastic!!! Great tire for crossovers.... Will be putting them on my Outback Wilderness as well....
been eyeing the 215/60r17 version of this tire for a mini suv. well, that mini suv doesn't have awd or 4x4 but i'm planning to do some light off road adventure and survival car. our place flood a lot, would be nice if i can climb to a higher ground. great video man
Appreciate the video. I live in SW Texas and looking for something for a 2022 Jeep Renegade that has to deal with occasional ranch roads and trails here, but most of the time on pavement. Rocks can be a problem off-road here.
I do have these EXACT tire, size and all. No lift. I am satisfied but not impressed. After about a year, but like 25,000-30,00 miles I’m already needing a new set. Tread did not last. They were great at first in rain, but now hydroplane A LOT! Main reason I’m replacing so soon because as a storm chaser tires are critical to be the best.
Have the exact same tire size on my 2021 Crosstrek sport. Anyone wanting to get rid of the true junky Yokies that come stock on the car will be impressed with these tires. They do well in snow(I live in northern Idaho) wet pavement, loose trail DG, and dry pavement. I lost about One mile per gallon and have not noticed any increased road noise over stock tires. Subaru should consider these tires for stock tires……..
Beach driving experience with 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i w/ CVT in Gearhart, Oregon is hard pack sand is doable, soft pack sand is doable, and in between sand is doable. Yokohama Geolander G91 did well normal inflation rate, BFGoodwich KO2 did well normal inflation rate, and Cooper Discovery AT3 4S did well normal inflation. The Subaru awd system is confidence boosting, but the driver must exercise objective logic when playing around off trail. The awd system is a bit tough to utilize in an advantageous way when stuck in slush surrounded by ice, being stuck in a levy with much snow/ice, going up certain hill angles accompanied by unpaved road, and doesn’t like snow chains on ice roads(pulled a Tony hawk worthy spin once with those on some Ko2s).
When I had my Forester about the only thing I could rely on where the tires. I have the 2014 Subaru Forester XT model and I had so many mechanical problems that I had to get rid of the vehicle. Pretty much after the last year I had it I had spent $6,000 to keep it on the road and when one thing broke something else would creep up and give me the middle finger. But overall I did like the tires since I traveled from Houston to Colorado all the time and they were perfect in snow.
What kind of issues did you have with it? I had to have an intake sprocket replaced but I'm mainly worried about the transmission going forward. I've heard it's a bit of a weakness.
On my SJ, I have a 235/70/16 which is 29" tall tire. I run them on a 16x7 +35 wheel and they fit on stock suspension. However, if you go any bigger than a 29" tire in overall diameter, your rears will rub in a very bad way. the 235/65/17 will be the biggest tire you can run without issue assuming your wheel offset isnt too wacky.
I have 225/65R17 Ko2 on my stock ‘15 Foz 2.5i CVT. It really revealed the lack of tolerance the OEM wheel bearings has for heavier tires as all the wheel bearings were slowly being tapped out and covered by extended warranty (literally worth its weight in gold). Is this a shared experience with your setup? Do you know of any company that produces stronger wheel bearings?
I saw your video where you had the Nitto Nomad Grapplers, how do the Wildpeak AT Trail's compare to those? Would you prefer one over the other? My main concern is tread life expectancy and actually on-road performance more than anything in the snow, slush, and I don't do anything too aggressive offroad in my Forester but I do occasionally go on some forest service roads.
You might want to reconsider going to a wider tire, which will add weight, and have less traction weight on the ground patch. Narrower tires are better for general overland use, which seems to be most of your driving. Check out the videos on running pizza cutter tires for overland driving. Cheers
I drive a Toyota Rav4 AWD and lost about 1.5 mpg, but it's understandable considering the kind of tire that they are. Falken even rated the tire fuel efficiency on their website. They gave it 3.5 out of 5.
The 65 in your tire size means the sidewall is 65% as tall as your tire is wide. The 235’s will be both wider and taller
Thanks for clarifying!
I wish it was the announced way, but the description is our shared reality😂🥂

The Open Country's lasted 50K miles on my Rav4 Adventure 3 years
2014 xt 2inch lifted rough country struts all aroubd wrapped in the wildpeaks stock 18 size love the tires

Did you see a loss on MPG at all over the stock tires?
I have these on my AWD 2022 Transit 150, real quiet for the tread and have no issue reaching customers anymore
I have 30g on mine mostly off road north Arizona. These tires never fail 😊😊😊👍
Love those Sparco Wheels. I paired mine with Falken AT3W on my 20 Crosstrek.
I have a Toyota RAV4 hybrid and I want to get the Falken wildpeak at3w was wondering if it has mess with your gas mileage cuz I commute a lot everyday
I got those tires 2 years ago excellent grip and handling
Good to know👍🏼
Handling? Do you notice handling in spirited driving?

Looking into these for a P2 XC70, this video definitely helps, thanks!
Same here! Any word on them if you did go with them?

You may have just sold me on these, got the exact same car and want to get something for driving through canyons and ski resorts for this winter.
@@TeamMasterFunky you won’t regret your purchase…..
How about little greasy SE Idaho mud?
I have a set of wildpeaks on my cx5. They're awesome
Nice work at BIBE.

A lot of folks I know who have run these have complained they wore out faster than expected.

Me too! The XT was a major failure for me.

I just put these on my 22 bronco sport, and I got 255/55/18 no rubbing no lift
I like those tires. 235 50 19 will go on my Mercedes crossover.

Did you add any underbody skid plates like for gas tank & transfer case??
What did they do to your fuel economy on the highway?
I'm interested in this tire since they now come in 265/45r21.
Do you like these wild peaks or the nitto nomad grapplers better?
use 245/65/R17
May I have the wheel model and offset? Those are beautiful
These or NITTO nomads which ones are better?

Should i buy 225/60-17 for my 2018 subaru?
For your friends who run the same size without a lift, you mentioned they are snug do they get rubbing?
Would also like an answer to this!
Was your mpg affected?
How bad are these in snow?
For a daily driver I would not take the MPG hit that comes with those tires.
Cheers
People are reporting a 1-2 mpg difference. Literally less then 5 dollars difference per fill up
Any loss in mpg?
i have them on my ford explorer and lost some mpg but gained a lot of traction
I drive a Toyota Rav4 AWD and lost about 1.5 mpg, but it's understandable considering the kind of tire that they are. Falken even rated the tire fuel efficiency on their website. They gave it 3.5 out of 5.
I like these tires but in my region these are toooo expensive I can buy much better tires even cheaper than these!!!
TNX for video
I would like to know plz
What PSI do you air down to?
I don’t believe I aired down that time. Would have helped out
Light duty but not lighter than KO2s.
