    With 85000 people potentially watching this, you did a huge commercial favor to Falken, my friend. I hope it gets back to you from Falken, you guys deserve it. Cheers!

    I'm from Winnipeg, Mb we get very cold winters, I put falken wildpeak AT3W on my 2nd gen tacoma. I currently have 148 300 km on them and they're maybe 50%. They've seen more logging/ washboard roads and ice roads than pavement. And I've only rotated them once...... best tires ever.

    I’ve been running falken tires on my land cruisers and other toyotas for years. Wonderful tires and I just put a set of the RT on my 96 troopy and am loving them so far

    Good to see the Toyota made it back home safe.
    With every new video along your journey I kept expecting a flat or blowout somewhere along the way, but it never happened. Very impressed with the Falkens good choice.

    Fronts typically wear faster but your diligence in rotation seem to ensure they are wearing evenly. Great tires with longevity, nice choice!

    I'm from Duncan and I followed you on your posts, I was amazed at the crazy places you and some of the treacherous road conditions, I can't believe you never had puncture and that the tires as still good for awhile. PS loved your pictures and videos.

    I'm a Goodrich fan. Mostly sand aired down. My ko2 in 275/70r18 are E with 3 ply polyester sidewall and 3PMSF rating. tread is 3 polyester, 2 steel, and 1 nylon. 50k tire. Made in the USA. $245 US. Plus mount. $22. my 6th set on my 4x4 Quigley Ford 350 van. Looks like these tires are in play. Impressive ware on your tires young man, in part due to your driving, taking your time on sharp rock. Not a lot, if any, of chunks missing on the video you showed. I like the sidewall height, cushion. And congratulations on the engagement. Come on Falken! Best adventure video on youboob

    is a remarkable and insightful journey into the endurance and performance of these tires. The way you document the challenges and successes over 1.5 years on the Pan American Highway is truly impressive. It’s a testament to both the durability of the Falken RT/01 and the spirit of adventure that drives such incredible journeys.

    I was just at ARB in Brisbane last week talking about tyres with the guys. We put on mud and all terrain Bridgestone tryes on our truck, just done 34,000km on them. Cheers Rolanda ❤️

    Great review! I just finally got the opportunity to order my rims and tires for my build in my Tundra! I had to put the Dobinsons suspension all around and then purchased a bumper from Coastal in B.C. Now that I have the clearance my Falken Wildpeaks A/T4W will fit perfect on some bronze Shok by fuel.. sooooo looking forward.. lol 3 weeks away for delivery! so hard finding a 5 x 150 rim.. Loved the look of a 5 spoke or 6.. you inspired me there! cheers you two..

    Watched the whole series and my girlfriend and I actually commented to each other we didn’t ever think you mentioned getting a flat. Heading down to get a set on my Prius after seeing what these tires do haha. Seriously great tires though !
    Still can’t believe you’re only at 80ish k subscribers???????

    I have these on my WK2 Grand Cherokee, 25k miles in the last 8 months and only lost about 3.5 32nds. Zero complaints so far from all the abuse i've put them through. I also have a set on my 2019 Cherokee. 👍👍
    I did have one puncture....a large carpenter nail, but the tire only lost like .5 psi per week until i got it professionally repaired.

    What is the plan now? Will you run them all the way back to North America? Or get new ones in a few months?

    Great, real-world tire review. While you may not be getting paid by Falken, thet should give you a lifetime supply of tires for the rights to this video. I try to look at value by how a product does its job as well as the cost of failure. Given the places you guys went, tire failure, and repalcement, would have been a huge issuse. No tire failure is very valuable in any common drive, but in your case, it would be hard to put a value on it.

    Now to decided between the RT vs new AT tires to replace my Falken mud terrains on the 4Runner 🧐

  • @Golden-69
    @Golden-69 Před měsícem

    TY Matt, this is the video I have been waiting for. I have been looking at 38" why because they will fit😅 wish they made 16" rims for this size i want. I like more meat on the ground.

    I like those Faulken tires.
    I laught watching you read an imperial tape measure in mm then converting it back to Freedom Units. 😂. Your math seems right anyhow.

  • @gavinwilliamson3944
    @gavinwilliamson3944 Před měsícem

    These tyres were on my short list.
    But they dropped off due to being only 2 ply side wall. I know that's to give them a better ride and grip.
    Just, not tough enough. Too drive on outback roads with confidence.

    Thanks to the Jeep Gladiators guys selling their stock 285/70r17 Falken Wildpeak M/T for cheap. Pick up a set of 5 for $500.

    I'm glad they have held up for you. I was concerned for you both when you bought them for your trip. Personally I will never buy another set of Falkens. I have had 2 sets of AT's and 2 sets of street tires of theirs and all four sets have ended in the sidewalls bulging and I have a coworker that had the same issue. Falken refused to replace any of them. You have definitely put yours to the test but I will never buy their tires again.
