After having some difficulties in the snow today with the Outback’s stock tires, I came home and started researching alternatives. This was a fantastic review. I’m sold.
Glad I could help. I love these. Haven’t put them in the snow this winter yet, but hopefully soon. I miss the traveling.😒
They’re great in snow. I had a set on a Gen1 Ridgeline.
Just want to thank you! I followed your recommendation and absolutely loving these Falken tires. No increase road noise noted. A complete stranger gave a compliment within hours of installation today.
I have these tires on my XV Crosstrek and they are absolutely great.
I have a 2013 XV Crosstrek and in need of new tires. Came across these because I was looking for something a little more rugged yet good on the highway.
@@abefroman70 definitely the way to go. Just be warned of a small mpg drop
I would like to see how the crosstrek looks with those tires
@@gilchevy it'll be a while but I can do a video here on you tube for that. Again it'll be a while because I'm in another part of the world compared to where my crosstrek is.
I put these exact tires on my 2015 Subaru Forester with some Liquid Metal rims and it looks like a whole new car! In the rain they perform exceptionally well like I go through a puddle like butter when before it would only slow me down and try to pull to the left or right! No more! I can't wait to see how it performs in snow!
Nice! They perform well in the snow also, so you won’t be disappointed.
I’m about ready to replace mine, but hoping I can decide on some new wheels before I do. So we will see.✌🏾
Just got these installed on my '21 Forester Sport. Absolutely love the look and the first few drives with them were great. I went with the 225x60r18, so same width but 1" taller. Can't wait to get them off road.
Nice! I’m still loving them. Actually about to do an update vid.
I think mine are about an 1/2” wider while yours are about an 1/2” taller. So you have an even smaller gap in the wheel well right? And your Speedo is a little more off than mine. I can’t imagine we would be able to tell the difference though.😂. Let me know how the off-roading goes. Don’t forget to air down, it will make a big difference.👍🏾
@@Lucrativesoldier Yup, that's why I went with a little taller tire. I gained about 1/2" ground clearance so when I air down I don't go too far below the 8.7" clearance that the Foresters have. As for wheel well space I really don't see a difference. I know there's less room but it's minimal. My other offroad toy is a '06 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. That's for rock crawling.
@@adamk2778 I would say add a lift to get a little more clearance, but you have the Jeep for that.😂👍🏾
Do you rub with 225 60 18
@@adamk2778 can you upload a pic of the 60 profile in your forester? Im considering doing the same...
My wife's '17 Outback can't get out of the driveway this morning😡 So here I am researching tires. Well done review, thanks for the info!
Sorry to hear that. But glad I could help👍🏾. Thanks✌🏾
I will be ordering a 2023 Forester Touring as soon as production begins and I plan to immediately upgrade to A/T tires. I've had the Falken AT3W on my previous truck and I loved those, so the A/T Trail was the natural choice for my upcoming Forester. They have excellent reviews across the board, but it's nice to see a first hand account of how they work on the specific vehicle I'll be putting them on. I was also curious about upsizing to 235s and you answered that question too. Thanks!
Thanks! Nice! Yeah I’m still loving the tires, and need to do an update video, but just haven’t had the time. But I’m working on it, so hope you are subscribed.😁✌🏾
Thanks for the post! I also went to MTs CZcams and got the scoop on finding the best price on the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 225/60R17. Thanks for the suggestions. I saved ~$76 today! Thank you!
You're welcome! Yeah MT was a great help. Its always good to save some $$$ lol. Glad we could help out!
Much better traction and appearance than the all-seasons. We’ll put these (stock size) on the Crosstrek. Thank you, sir.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them.
Just picked these because of you and all I can say is THANK YOU!!!! I love these tires and give the look I was wanting AND that same day we got 8inches of snow and it handled AMAZING never slipped or disappointed if your looking for tires spend the 1k for these you won’t regret it. Also idk how true it is but the tire place told me if I went any bigger then then stock I would mess the bearings up so please let me know if anyone else had heard this
Thank you!👍🏾. Glad you’re loving them too. I’m almost due to have mine replaced. Only change I’m considering, is going with a smaller rim bigger tire. And I haven’t heard any bearing issues, nor have I had any.
@@Lucrativesoldier good to know (about bigger tires) and keep the grind up man iv been enjoying your videos
@@CTMMONEY19 thanks! I’ve been lagging on posting new content, but I’m going to get some up soon.👍🏾
@@Lucrativesoldier hey man we all have lives lol
@@CTMMONEY19 😂right! Thanks!
Thanks for the shout out to my channel!
The tires look great! Nice rims too.
For me, coming from the Ecopia tires, handling is way way better with the wildpeaks, those Ecopias were super spongy.
MT no worries. Always happy to help others out. My way of showing my appreciation for your help with saving $200 on my tires.
I’m loving the Wildpeaks. The oems ZIEX I replaced with them, were excellent. But I’m loving the more rugged look of the wildpeaks.
Raised their prices on the tire!!!
Figures, it was a deal while it lasted, looks like several places raised prices.
@@MTsubfly
Bummer. I havent put them on yet. Ugh
I hear you. There are a lot of other great tires for the money as long as you're OK going with a all season tire. These all terrain falkens Have great looks That many all season tires do not offer though they are great tires check out the Toyo Celsius tires and the line of Nokian tires to, I might do a update video soon if I can get to it
Ive been using these in the snow and mud all season now and you are right to praise these tires. They are not as good as snow tires in the snow but are better than most all seasons and I never felt out of control in any conditions even while sliding or drifting in deeper snow. In soft dirt and mud after the snow melts i get plenty of traction as well. This is on an eclipse cross awd lol. Next winter I will use winter tires on different rims and get more mileage out of these Falkens in warmer months. and not going to use them for another winter after they have many miles on them but thats my preference it snows tons here
Thanks for that feedback. Just barely seeing it. Right, I’m noticing that people who live in places with snowy seasons, have a dedicated set of snow tires. On my next video update, I will point out that these are good for visits to the snow, but not a true snow tire. Thanks again!✌🏾
I’ve been considering these for our 19 Outback. I’m convinced now these are the tires to get for the Subaru. Looks like a nice drive with beautiful scenery. Very nice Subaru!
Thanks! Yeah you’ll love them. Not only does the performance improve, so does the look.😍. Enjoy!
What a high quality and thoughtful video. 10/10
Sleeping bag operator thanks, I appreciate it!✌🏾
Nice vid brother! Exactly the review I was after, glad you did both snow and off road trail. Beast of a Subie too! 🤙🏾 Thanks for sharing
Bro those tires look awesome. It makes the car look bad ass. I think I’m gonna get some for my forester
Subie Snail thanks, I love them. They make a big difference. And for the price, you can’t beat them. I’m not lifted...yet😁 but these give it a nice look until then. Let me know if you end up getting some.👍🏾✌🏾
Just love your videos and being a Sport owner myself and I am somewhat of obsessive with keeping my car clean I especially liked your Sport is so clean even with snow on the ground. A true enthusiast and someone who takes pride in their ride. Keep up the good work, love watching the add ons and upgrades. ✌️ I just upgraded to the Ironman ATS suspension and just loving it, I bet you would to.
Thanks!👍🏾. Yeah I love my sport. Gotta take good care of it and keep it clean.😁Glad you mentioned the suspension upgrade. That’s what I want to do next. Ironman is one of my considerations. Flatout suspension is my other. It’s nearly twice as much as the Ironman kit, but suppose to have ridiculous off-road handling capabilities. Probably won’t use it to its full potential. Lol. So what kind of improvements have you noticed with the Ironman kit?
After watch your video I order a set for my subie 2021 so excited 😁
Nice! Come back and give your opinion after putting some miles on them.👍🏾
I have a 2015 Forester Limited on a 2" lift running a set of Falken Wild Peak tires sized 235/75R15 on LP1 wheels. They give an awesome performance on and off road, I'd buy them again.
Thx for the tip. I’ll definitely use 235/55/18 on my forester. However I lifted my forester with eibach lift kit spring 1.5”.
Thanks! I will be upgrading the suspension soon also, and may try going up a size on the tires. But I will post a vid when I do.👍🏾
Hi Terry, haven't seen any new videos on your channel lately. I know the whole virus thing and the lockdown brought many things to a standstill. Just hope you and the family are doing well and I am looking forward to more Forester videos when things normalize a bit.
Take care!
Sirgromulus thanks for reaching out. Hope you and yours are well too. We are doing good. Just staying busy. I’ve been meaning to do some vids, but honestly, the Sube has been getting some long needed rest.😂. She hasn’t sat this long since I drove her off the lot.😂. I’ll be doing a small mod vid soon. Just been waiting for it to be time for oil change, etc. probably just do it early.😁
Thanks again! Take care✌🏾
Thanks for sharing, i just got my 23 subaru forester sport and im on the hunt of at tires. U definitely sold me here. 🤙
Thanks! You can’t go wrong with these tires. Excellent performance and price.👍🏾
Many thanks for producing this video, for your wisdom, and for confirming my purchase of Sub and Falkens.
Thank you! Im glad I could help, and I appreciate you taking the time out to watch and comment. Enjoy!
I liked the thoroughness of this video so much, I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the review, this is exactly the information I need.
AWDfreak thanks, I appreciate the comment, and subscribe. I try to keep track of everything to help others stay informed and know what to expect. I’ve been getting a lot of mixed questions and info about the CVT, so I’ve decided that will be my next vid in the next few days. Thanks✌🏾
I've been looking at these tires for a while, and I'm glad to finally see a fellow subie sport owner posting a video about them! You're actually the reason I got my forester sport, and will probably be the reason I get these tires Haha. I'd probably stick with the stock size though since 90% of my driving is city driving.
Jess thanks, that’s nice to hear! Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I’m still enjoying mine.
I’m probably in the same category as you, 90% city/highway driving. To be honest I don’t think the size difference makes much difference. I know I try to adjust my driving habits to match my mpg expectations. Lol. Either way, you’ll love these tires.👍🏾✌🏾
I love these tires!!! Installed them on my Outlander and Tacoma
Sorry, somehow missed your comment. I agree, I wouldn’t change them if given the opportunity. Great value.
Very Thorough review! I have the Wildpeak AT3 in 245/65/17 and have been pretty happy with them. I might consider these when it comes time to replace.
bruceyyyyy thanks! Yeah I’m very happy with them. And for about half the price of the K02’s, you can’t go wrong.
@bruceyyyyy
you're an expert in subaru stuff
I wanted to ask you; How do these compare against some Nokian Wr g4 in the snow for an outback?
good option for someone who cant swap tires twice a year and lives somewhere like Colorado?(Not in the mountain area ofc)
@@NemoTheGlover I honestly don't know. I've never ran those tires.
I know dedicated snow tires are better in snow and no one really claims otherwise.
But all the all season, all weather, all terrain stuff really muddies the water.
bruceyyyyy just wondering if you ran the 245/65/r17 on a Subaru Forester and what year? I’m trying to see if they fit for my 2020 Subaru Forester with a 2” lift
@@Dageruins I have a 2017 Outback. It can run 245/65/17 stock but I also have a 2" lift.
Those tires look incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I love them!
Thanks man! This was a super helpful review. About to buy a 2020 Forester and was looking for a good tire/wheel package. This sold me on the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. Going with Sparco Terra wheels :)
Emily Weidner nice! Glad I could be of help. I just did the 2” lift, so I’ll be looking for new wheels too. Will go with same tires, just different size. Enjoy!
Excellent video! Thanks for the work you put into it and the great info! Going to put these bad boys on my 23 Crosstrek sport. Subie wave back at ya! LOL
Thanks! Let me know how you like them.👍🏾✌🏾
Got these tires on my 2018 Rav4 XLE best tire ever.
Steven V thanks for the comment. I love them!
Can't wait to get a set of these for my 2015 Outback this Fall!
Great review!
man you've convinced me to put these ATs on my 2015 Subbie.
Glad to hear. You'll love them!
Good all condition shakedown on these. My choice has been made. Cheers brother
Thanks! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.✌🏾
Just got a set on my 2019! They do look amazing 235 is the way to go
most tires do great when new...it's after 10k miles that a tire really shows its worth as well as at half tread. both my Nokian wrg4 and conti dws06 are below half tread (about 43k mi each, and both do good in the wet and less good in the snow but manageable. however, road noise has increased on both and I get wawawawa sounds at low speeds....bearings are still tight, no play.
I did an update video. Hope you check it out.👍🏾
Thank you for the great video. You helped me with my tire decision.
Glad I could help. I will be doing an update video soon. Enjoy!
Tires look nice. Another factor that may affect mpg from computer is the slight speedometer error due to changing diameter. It's pretty minor though. I calculate < 1/2" change in diameter.
80srockerable thanks! I figured the slight difference in the speedo, but not the mpg for that reason. Since there were multiple vehicles on this trip, I was able to figure at 80 mph on the speedo, I was doing 81-82 mph. So not too bad. Thanks
I got the 235/60/R18's and have no rubbing. The little lift is nice as well.
235/60/18's in the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails? If so, I will have to go that route next go around. Plus a lot of people are interested in knowing whether they'll fit without issues.
Yes sir. They were out of stock on 225 so gave 235/60 a shot and have no rubbing.
Matthew M wow! That’s great to know. I will probably go that route next time. I wish you could post pics.😒. Thanks for the update.👍🏾✌🏾
Terry Farmer I follow you on Instagram lol awkward_awd
Matthew M thanks, I appreciate it.✌🏾
Nice man they look sick love how aggressive the tread looks! We needed that recovery on film for the team man. I got the Geolandars on mine @2019forestersport subie wave ;) ✌️
YourQuestMyQuest Thanks! Yeah I’m loving them. How you like the Geolanders?
You know as soon as we drove off from helping the guy out, I thought about how I screwed up not getting it on bid.😩😂. Hopefully I don’t forget next time. Lol
Subie wave✌🏾
Love the sport but without the tuebo stickin with mine for longer time. Saludos
This is nothing but eye opening for me. I thought putting all-terran tire ruins fuel economy and all over performance of the car, since it adds up huge amount of weight due to most of them need bigger/heavier wheels then stock one, and I bet that ruin the air flow too.But hey, you proof me wrong. Thanks for great review!!
Thanks! Yeah these are very close to stock so no big hit on the mpg or the vehicle. I love them!
Saludoa from Chile, i am looking to change my tires of my forester xt 2015 [changed the awefull duelers hl400] .wish by the time to change to de 225 55 18 of geolandar g015 very nice review but bought bc of stock michelin laritude cross 235 55 18.
Now i am betwen falken or the g015. Both have great looks and 235 eildpeaks have the edge in wide.
The o ly problem i see with 235 [i had that problem is that u cant put on snow chain in case uts really need it. Bc there is ko much space between the wildpeak and the structure.
Saludos from chile!
Thank you! I love getting interaction from all around the world.
The Wildpeaks are my go to tires. I love them, and just bought a new set. I sized up a little, and to be honest, I didn’t think about snow chain clearance. At the same time, I’ve taken my Subie in lots of snowy conditions and never needed chains. I also don’t live in a snowy area, where I must deal with the snow. When I’m in snow it’s either for fun and or vacation.
Let me know what you decide.✌🏾
I am looking for the same set. Just what I needed.
Front wheel drive F150? 🤷🏼♂️. I’ll be getting these when I replace my 2020 OEM set. Thank you for this review!
SubieN8 lol right!
Nice, you’ll love them.
Thanks for the sub and comment!✌🏾
I just wanted to confirm that these tires are 235 as the stock tires are only 225. I wanted to make sure that they would work, I’m picking up my forester sport next week and want to upgrade the tires.
Yes! Just installed 235 on my stock 225 last week.
I think I’m gonna get the 235/50r18 for my Mercedes E550 coupe LoL. Either that or I need to buy a work truck for when I work on the road. I have adjustable coilovers so can raise the car if needed. But you made a good point about having enough room in the wheel well
Lol well they will definitely help. Not sure how they would look on your E550 Coupe though. Lol. Might be a new trend.😁
Thanks!
Cooper CS5 ultra... Are my favorite for a Forester sport all year round
Thanks for this tire review Terry! I will keep these in mind when I replace the OEM tires on my 2019 Sport. I know there are not many choices in an A/T tire for our Subies with the 225/5-18 size but I was wondering if you considered the Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 all-terrain tire? They seem to be popular with Subaru owners and get great reviews.... but I do believe they are a bit more expensive than the WildPeak A/T Trails.
Keep up the great wok and enjoy your Forester!
Thanks for the watch and comment. I did consider the Yokohama Geolander A/T G015, along with the BFG K02's. But the Falkens seemed to be a quality tire, with a pretty decent price difference lower than anything in comparison. Plus the OEM tires that came on my Forester Sport were Falkens, and I was already impressed with how well those performed in all the different environments.
Im loving the Forester! Hope you are enjoying yours just as much as I am. Thanks
Love the review, I have a silver Forester Sport. Researching tires when the stock ones are ready for replacement. Thank you for showing the possible rub issue. I was considering sizing up. Love the look of black but MAN does it show dents and dings/scratch, I’ve had a few black vehicles. So opted for Silver also I’m in Phoenix and it’s too hot for black.
Sorry, I somehow missed your comment. Yeah thankfully they don’t rub at all, so I’m glad I didn’t try to squeeze the next size up on. But now I have the lift, so now I’m thinking about rim and tire options. Lol. Definitely be going with the same tires, just bigger size.
Yeah the black looks great for a day or 2 after a wash, then everything shows.😂
Great video, really enjoyed it and the Falkens really are a nice look on your Forester. I am considering a 2020 Forester and was wondering what options were available for A/T tires, as I love to get back on unpaved mountain roads/forest roads/blm roads. I really thought on your highway shots that road noise might be an issue, as that is a hefty tire, but it certainly did not sound like it. I am curious as to the mpg penalty, if any, going with what I am assuming is a heavier A/T tire vs. the stock Falkens. Thanks again and great work--your Forester looks great!!
Jmaninaz1 thanks! There are a few A/T options. The other popular option are the BFG K02’s. They come at a higher cost, and that was my deciding factor. The wildpeak is an overall great tire. No obvious increase in road noise. As for MPG, that’s hard, because I don’t stick to a driving habit, so many factors come into play with my MPG. There probably is a slight drop, but I’m thinking, not that much. Hopefully others can chime in with their experience with the tires. Thanks
The KO2’s are a truck built all terrain causing a significant decrease in mileage, power, wear out your suspension a lot quicker with the weight and as well be significantly louder as they start to wear. You definitely went the right route and saved a good amount of money with the Falken AT Trail.
Nice review!!! Can’t wait to slaps these tires on my Atlas.
Ian Yong thanks! Yeah hopefully you love them like I do.👍🏾
Good stuff, thanks a ton. These seem to be the tire for the forester.
Thanks! Yeah I love them. I’ve gotten over 40k miles out of them, and about ready to buy a new set.
Damn! You stole my thunder! I'm getting those put on tomorrow!
Oh. You had 'em on a while. I just got to the point where I needed new tires on my 2013.
The Wired Fox 😂 sorry to steal the show. But now you know you’ll like them. Lol. Let me know what you think of them.👍🏾✌🏾
And no, I just got them out on a couple of weeks ago. With that trip, I have less than 2,000 miles on them.
From what I've seen in Forester forums most people seem to think the 17" wheels are better for off roading than the 18". The Wilderness trim also comes with 17" wheels unlike the other higher end trims. I wonder why that is though? Is it just because having deeper sidewalls gives you better grip?
How many miles on your forster sport? any major issues with the tranny or anything?
I’m currently at just over 74000 miles. Haven’t had any major issues. Still running strong.
@@Lucrativesoldier keep me posted. I may end up getting a sport.
@@RangerRickTV 👍🏾. I love mine. My parents got the Ascent and hate it. It’s been nothing but problems for them.🥺
Thanks for the vid! Cant wait to get these put on my sport!
Mike Nickles thanks for the watch and comment! You’ll love them!👍🏾✌🏾
I have them on my 2005 CR-V and they are excellent!
Great content, very informative.
Thanks I appreciate it!✌🏾
I went with the Defender T+H 225/60 R17 99H SL BSW. Loving them so far, my mpg dropped about 2 mpg from the stock bridgestone I was on before. Yet my winter traction is the best I have ever experience with an all season tire. I highly recommend them, this is on a 2014 Forester by the way in Minnesota!
Kartboarder22G Nice! My OEM tires were the Falken ZIEX ZE001 which we’re really impressive all around. I think they picked a great tire for the vehicle.
Since I’m only in the snow occasionally, a good off-road capable tire was more beneficial for me, since I do more off-roading than snow driving. As for MPG, I try not to think about it, since so many things will affect it, including just driving habits.😒
@@Lucrativesoldier The Forester is already very efficient, impressive. Yea my off roading is very minimal. Bryce is my fav. park in Utah so far. Most offroading I've done is harts pass washington
Kartboarder22G yes it is. Bryce is amazing, and we’ll be going back in the summer to experience the difference. We also love Zion. Hard to pick a favorite.😁
Hopefully we’ll get up to Washington sometime in the near future to check out Hart’s Pass.👍🏾
Hope to have a rooftop tent by summer to expand our adventure range.😁
@@Lucrativesoldier Yeah the Wife Likes Zion the best. If you go in the summer go when you can camp there in your roof tent and when they have an astromomy showing at night going on in the park(pray for good weather and no clouds) You'll be blown away. Also yes I recommend Hart's pass go for it and camp when you get to the camping area near the top you'll see where the camp guides house is. Get the video rolling people will want to see this stuff.
Kartboarder22G ok cool. Yeah that’s exactly what we were thinking as we were driving thru and all the campsites are snowed over. Lol. What are the temps like in the summer?
We almost took the hour drive to go back at night for the star gazing, but didn’t.😒. So can’t wait to go back in the summer.
I will have to work Hart’s Pass into the travel plans. Love to check it out, and definitely get some good vids. Thanks 👍🏾✌🏾
Just got a 2024 Sport and looking at getting new wheels and tires for winter/light off-roading and keep the OEM for summer. What’s your 4 year updated opinion?
I see you found my update vid. lol👍🏾. I will post the link for others. Thanks!✌🏾
czcams.com/video/nC6kPpU3sOw/video.htmlsi=IUyhmRHRJ_JMtU7n
I'll admit, I had the audio turned way down because I'm at work - so you've probably covered this subject, but how is the (paved) road noise with these? I've heard nothing but great things about these tires but I'd like to know how loud they'll be. I have a 2021 Forester Sport so that's as close as it gets to your ride!
lol Well I appreciate the honesty. I get it all the time where people ask questions that I answered in the vid. lol
Theres no increased road noise, which is a huge plus. I have over 20k miles on them, and still looking good. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.
Wow! I was just searching for this tire on the interwebs, as I have to replace our 08 Outback tires, and they're goofy size. Finding decent "semi off road tires" for this outback is crazy, just on - road tires are available.. I have been doing a bit of midwestern offroading, not anything serious or mud, but def. need some good tires. Thanks for the review!
Glad I could help. Thanks for the checking it out, and the comment. You won't be disappointed with these. Im loving them.
Great review
Thank you!✌🏾
Your videos helped me with my purchase. Been following you for abut a year now. Thank for the videos. Btw, which tow/recovery kits you using?
Sorry I’m just now seeing your comment.😒. Not sure why I didn’t get notification.
Thanks, glad I could help👍🏾. I appreciate the following. Currently for tow recovery I just use the stock shackle, and a Harbor Freight Recovery strap. I haven’t been doing much off tossing, so haven’t been too worried about it. Plus I’m thinking about adding a winch kit, so we’ll see.
Good lookin all the way around. ESP on those STI wheels. Gunna buy some for my ‘15 OB
David G Perfectdaycalendar thanks! I’m loving them. You won’t regret it.👍🏾✌🏾
I have 235/60r18 on my Forester but it's the hankooks. These will be my next tires most likely.
Good video bro !
al sarp thanks, I appreciate that!✌🏾
Terry Farmer I just got the 2018 xt ... are those the tires you recommend? ... I’m coming from a Tacoma and the stock tires are not gonna cut it for my outdoor life lol
al sarp congrats! Yes I definitely recommend these tires. IMO they are the best bang for the buck. When these wear out, I’ll be getting a new set.👍🏾
Hi Terry, I have a Subaru Forester Sport 2019 White and I'm looking for tires and came across your video. Btw. I love the tires and I'm planning to go with these, but do you recommend lifting the car since when the space when turning the wheel is pretty close. Please let me know your thoughts.
1sylex nice! No need for a lift. I never had any rubbing. I did recently lift mine though, but not because of the tires. I just wanted more clearance to do more trails.
@@Lucrativesoldier Thank you Terry.. Looking forward to my new tires...
Thanks for the video. Did your ground clearance increase from the stock 8.7 inches?
I have the same wildpeak 235/55/19 on my cx5 carbon edition. They look really nice but ride quality is bad. I also lost about 2 mpg and the car feels a bit slower.
Oh wow!!
How did you get him out of that snow?
Is this after the hitch?
Did you use straps to pull him out?
i'm genuinely curious how you pulled it off.
=]
I did have the hitch installed, but I used my front anchor point and rescue strap. If you go into your spare tire compartment, you’ll find a long bolt with a loop at the end. That is your rescue bolt that screws into the frame in one of two locations. One in the front, and one in the rear. I actually might do a quick vid on that today, so people know about it.👍🏾
Dang, just bought some Yokohama Geolanders. I would have saved $200 if I went with these.
Awe man, sorry to hear that. The geolanders are good too, but yeah, $200 savings is nice. Lol. Well now you know for next time.
Very nice Video, I am currently shopping for a new set of tires for my Subary Forester! My stock came with 225/55/r18s so did your car came with the same size, did you switching to 235/55/r18 meant you changed rims? and did it affect Eyesight or any of the Subaru tech?
Thanks! I went with a slightly larger tire size on oem rims. I did an update video showing that I changed rims and went with an even bigger tire. Eyesight was not affected.
Thank @@Lucrativesoldier, let me look for that video so I can make a decision real quick. Thanks for your reviews, you sort of address concerns of regular folk like myself! Keep it up man
@@PeterKoech001 you’re welcome! Yeah I get a lot of questions, and I’m like, honestly, the video can tell you more than I can remember.😂. Thanks!
Nice video - I need to get the Forester first though.
Thanks! If you can, get a 2020 or 2021. The eyesight is better than on my 2019 model.😩
F-150 front wheel drive lol never seen one of those before.
Tim Carnes 😂 right! I’m guessing it was 4x4 and the front was digging in. I was just excited to successfully rescue them.😂
Oh it's a thing!... 😉😂🤣
Great videos man! Did you do anything with the spare tire? Any thoughts on that?
Also wanted to confirm no issues with rubbing if the car is packed with a heavy load or hitting bumps
Thanks! I left the spare stock. One reason is it’s just that. If I had a matching rim, and had it mounted on the back hero style, then, I might have done the spare. But even then, they say if all your tires don’t have the same amount of tread, it could ruin the CVT. Thankfully I haven’t had to deal with a flat.(knock on wood)
And no, haven’t had any rubbing at all.👍🏾
@@Lucrativesoldier thank you!
i have a crosstrek and i was gonna get 60r but since i watched how close those 55r, im for sure not getting 60r haha
Nick DeVary lol yeah I’m sure that won’t be good.😂. But you’ll love them in the 55’s.
I just bought a 2021 sport any issue s
With rubbing while turning , bumps?
I may go with 235 55 / 18s. Thanks
Absolutely 0 issues.👍🏾
Thank you
@@Bhill-jo2wg you’re welcome!👍🏾
Great video Im putting these on my 2020 wrx pretty soon but my size is gonna be smaller lol 225/55r17
Softroader-WRX Thanks! Yeah, these will look nice on the WRX, and will make sure you get to where you’re going.👍🏾
Terry Farmer yeah these are nice looking. They look pretty aggressive for the size. Making an offroad wrx build well more like a softroader lol.
Softroader-WRX nice! I’m hoping to do a lift in the near future to make my Forester a bit more capable. These vehicles are impressive.
Terry Farmer yes they are lol I already have a 2” lift kit installed on my wrx. It’s just making the decision of what size and what tire I want to run.
Softroader-WRX what lift did you go with? I just ordered the 2” ready lift kit.
Was that cabin in Dick Creek Village? If not, looks just like it.
lol you have a typo, but yes that’s Duck Creek. Love it there❤️
I was like…this dude sounds like he’s from LA/SO-CAL🤣
😂You know it!
@@Lucrativesoldier lol! You said one word and I already knew🤣
@@November8th 😂
Just got a set on my 19 Sport and immediately felt the ride difference. They are so much softer riding than the OE Ziex001s, and seem quieter too. Now, should I be THAT guy and take it back to have the one tire mounted serrated side out flipped to match the others with the raised side out...
Glad you're loving them. They are definitely an improvement over the stockers, which impressively handled all conditions IMO. And Yeah, I would be that guy. lol. It would bug me every time I look. lol. And, that was their mistake, so it should definitely be corrected.
Terry Farmer I wouldn’t say the stocks didn’t handle things, but at 18k they weren’t inspiring confidence. I’m gonna give them a call and get set up to get the single tire fixed. At least it’s just the one, honestly I’d probably have asked for all 3 to be fixed if it was the other way around.
@@717dash_cam I hear you there., I took mine almost twice as far before replacing them. lol. But that's because I mainly was driving city and highway, in good conditions.
Look at the good side, it will be quicker just doing the one tire. ;-)
@@Lucrativesoldier Very true! I did mine because I still have 2 years left in my lease and I'd rather get tires now, instead of needing to replace them for state inspection 6 months before my lease is up. At least this lets me get some winter use out of them. Now that I've said that, we're either going to get 10 feet of snow or nothing. Either way, the softer compound already saved the day. Had a toddler run out in front of me within 2 hours of them getting installed...
Only issue is, one bump and these hit your wheel well
Negative! They have never hit or rubbed the wheel well.
good day!
been researching bout trail terrain tires for my forester too and i came across your page. so i was set into getting the 235/55/18 like you but the tire shop i was going to was trying to discourage me into getting a wider one. so question, have you had any problems with your turns even after a year?
I have had absolutely zero issues with these tires. No rubbing at all, at full lock both directions. And I’ve gotten over 50,000 miles on mine now, so they lasted a lot longer than the oem tires. You can’t go wrong with them.👍🏾
I have Wildpeak At3W's on my F150. Plowed through snow in Illinois last winter w/ np. Just bought 04 Grand Cherokee for work and hunting in winter. Can't decide whether goin with AT Trails or At3W. Does anyone know if fuel economy is negligible? Like that you gain 10,000 more tread expectancy. Any thoughts???
Nice! I would go with the less aggressive AT Trails if you’re going to be doing a lot of commuting. I think the AT Trails put a little dent in mpg, but I think slight changes in my driving habits do the same.😒. I will say with about 25-30k miles on mine, I’m still in the green with tread wear.😃
Looking to get me a 2020 Subaru Outback. Going for the same tire but keeping the same size as original. Going with a Ready Lift 2"
Nice! I have the ready lift 2” lift installed, and love it. But now I’m ready for some bigger tires. Lol
@@Lucrativesoldier You don't want to go to big. I came across this article about bigger tires on these cars.
How to Modify Your Subaru for Off-Roading.
@@broinsocali I agree, then you're asking for problems. I think the size im at now, is just enough that it doesn't throw things off too much.
@@Lucrativesoldier well then sir I wish you good luck and safe travels. Maybe I'll catch you on a trail run after I get my Outback
@@broinsocali definitely! I want to start doing runs ones a month, so we'll see how that goes. You'll be invited.
Great review, thank you! Can't wait to get this set of tires for my 2021 Outback Onyx XT next week. Just wondering if it's overkill for daily commute during summer :-)
Sorry, I’m sure I’m too late on responding.😒. But these are great on your daily driver, although my commute has been greatly reduced over this last year. But they are holding up well.
@@Lucrativesoldier Thank you. I've got mine, very happy.
@@namlam941 congrats! Glad you are loving them. They are truly a nice upgrade from OEM. Enjoy!✌🏾
Nice Forester really sharp with the black rims on black paint with the red accents it looks really sporty. Did you notice a difference in road noise from stock tires? What about when you hit a pot hole do these absorb better than stock with a thicker tread? Im think of getting these or the Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 tires on my new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL in stock size 225/55/18. Whats your thoughts?
K McKenzie thanks! Well, I don’t have any experience with the Geolanders, so I can’t really comment about them. But I love the Wildpeak. No noticeable difference in road noise, and a bit more dampening on the road. I will definitely be getting another set once these are done. No regrets.
Great video and LOVE these tires...I’ll definitely be getting these for my RAV4 Adventure once I need new tires. Low key wish I had gone with this over the RAV. Should’ve spoken to you more before making the decision. Oh, do you have any advice for getting rid of some mild spider webbing on black paint?
Thanks! I love the tires. When its time for new ones, ill be getting them again. Only thing I might change is, putting them on aftermarket wheels.
The Rav4 looks nice, but I was too stuck on Subaru to consider it. lol. But I love my Sube. It can handle just about anything I throw at it.
As for the paint, I just ordered some clay bars to do my car with. It should take care of the webbing, but I'm not certain until I try it.
What part of AZ are you in? Might have to meet up for a Forester/RAV4 challenge vid if you're up for it. I find myself out that way every now and then.
@@Lucrativesoldier Dude, for some reason I don’t always receive notifications about comments, etc...and I know it’s been quite a while since we talked but I’d love to do a collab/challenge with you. I’m in the Phoenix area. Still Loving the RAV4 and actually getting these tires this week, so I’m looking forward to seeing how they perform.
@@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog no worries, CZcams is like that. I often stumble upon comments that I never received notification for.😒
Let me know how you like the wildpeaks👍🏾 I had a RAV4 on wildpeaks park next to me. Looked nice! Not sure if it was a showdown, or a camaraderie thing.🤔😂
We’ll have to put something together soon. It will be fun!👍🏾
@@Lucrativesoldier heck yeah man...I’ll definitely let you know and yep, we’ll definitely have to do that✌🏽😀✌🏽
Nice review! I am between these and the continental contact terrain at for my Ridgeline. Continental look less aggressive, but I’m a little worried about mpg loss.
Thanks! I can’t tell you anything about the continentals, but I love these. I think they dropped mpg slightly, but for me, I think my driving habits have the biggest impact, so I don’t really worry about it. Lol. I’m completely satisfied with the overall performance and quality of these tires.👍🏾
@@Lucrativesoldier thanks for the quick reply! I also do some towing, so I see lower mpg and think also a slight loss of power which makes me hesitant. I’ll probably still go for the great look of them though.
@@ScruffyCityFishing no worries. I try to stay on top of comments, but I don’t always get a notification.😒
Yeah I don’t think they’ve made my vehicle more sluggish than it already is.😂
@@Lucrativesoldier I’ve never driven a Subaru, but I have a friend who went from a matrix so a cross trek. He loves it, but definitely complains about it being slower than his Toyota.
@@ScruffyCityFishing lol yes I’ve gotten use to it. Keeps you out of trouble, but at the same time, gets you in trouble.😂. But I love it for everything else it’s good at. Lol
is that just new tires? everything elase is stock?
At the time of this video, yes just new tires. No lift.
What’s the road noise like in the dry compared to winter tires? I drive highway but also country roads that are broken and potholed. I would like a tire that can handle the bumps and not flinch when I hit a pot hole. Can anyone tell me?
Thanks for the review. Do you have any updates on the tires? How are they holding up? Road noise also?
Thank you! Been trying to get an update vid edited, but been super busy. Currently have 50k+ miles on the tires. They’re about ready for replacement, but not in a rush. Now they’re worn down, they’re a bit louder, and not as smooth. But I will definitely be replacing them with the same tires, just maybe a little bigger. Not sure yet.👍🏾
@@Lucrativesoldier Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. Was thinking about Wildpeak or Geolander 015.
@@whoakhonga6780 I have no experience with the geolanders, but I will be happily purchasing the Wildpeak again.👍🏾
Falken do not list this tyre on their website so it does not exist.
The forester tyre size is 225-55-18 so why didnt you get that size?
You are mistaken. They are listed on Falkentire website. Download the size sheet. You’ll see it at the bottom of page 1. I chose this size because I wanted a bigger tire. Check out my update video to see I went even bigger with the next set I purchased. The bigger the tire, the better. Better for off-roading, and a smoother ride on road.
hi sir, can i set this 235/55/r18 falken to my oem 225/55r18? (2020 forester limited the silver rims one)
Yes you’ll be fine.👍🏾
Hey was up. I’m 6’2 and was wondering how’s the head and leg room in the Subaru sport your currently driving? Love the vids man keep it up!
JMan007 How’s it going? Thanks! well, I’m only 5’10”, but it seems pretty spacious. With the seat as far back as it goes, the pedals are just in my reach. I probably sit about 6” closer. I also probably have about 6” of head room, with a slight recline. Take one on a test drive, I think you’ll love it.
I’ll be posting a 42,000 mile update soon, so be on the lookout.👍🏾✌🏾
Terry Farmer thanks. Was thinking about investing in one. Was looking for a car that’s is good with gas mileage.
Man tire sizes are confusing. I’m about to buy a 2021 forester sport. I want a little bigger tire but I do t want to trim anything. I drive a lot on the pavement so I’ll prob just go with what size you went with. I’ve been reading some people go bigger on the middle number. Like 225/60 or 65??
It definitely is. It took a lot of research to finally decide on the size I went with. That middle number is basically a percentage of that larger number. So I did 235/55 which means the tire is 235 width and the height is 55% of that width.😳. Don’t know why they chose to do it that way. Lol. But with these exact tires, I would recommend the same size I went with. Good luck!✌🏾
What type of lettering is on the other side of the tire. I wanted to put these on my forester. It says black raised letters. But what is on the other side of the tire. I wanted to know if it was raised white lettering, no lettering or flat black lettering. I called discount tire direct but they said they didn't know.
are those rims plastic dipped?
No those are the oem wheels that came on the vehicle.
