Falken Wildpeak RT

[RedRunner_87]

I didn't see a thread on this so I wanted to post it. I haven't been too impressed with Wildpeak AT3W's but I am semi-interested in these. If they come in 255/80 or 255/85R17's I will take a looke

Looks like a nice RT option, I'd imagine it will be quite good in wet weather like the AT3Ws as far as RTs are concerned.

Another option coming out, Toyo RT Trail: The Open Country R/T Trail is an On/Off-Road Rugged Terrain Tire. | Toyo Tires
Apparently, it sits between the AT3 and the RT.

That looks like a nice tire. At first I was confused because I thought they had an RT, but this is a different RT in the line up. Winter traction looks good! Hopefully they come out with a skinny option. I would love to see more options when I have to get tires next year.

I was in the other boat and enjoyed my AT3W's. This might be a great option once my Terra Grapplers wear down.

I have to replace 2 tires due to tread chunking. My buddy has replaced 3 tires due to the same issue. I don't know if it was a bad batch or what, but wasn't too happy about that. Luckily the Discount Tire Tire Cert program replaced them for cheap. But still a hassle.

I'm personally very happy with my wildpeak ATs and they've been through hell, so i'm surprised to hear about your issues.

I do want to ask, because its something that I've seen a lot of in various forums, but Discount tire seems to the be source of a lot of complaints about tires from our American friends. Is this just a coincidence or is Discount Tire a known lower quality tire and/or workmanship?

I do like the tread pattern and the style of the Falken RTs you linked. I'd really like to go with a MT tire on my next set, but being from Alberta, i'd have to run a set of dedicated winters if i did that. My preference is to stay with an all around AT tire, so maybe this new RT would be a consideration.

Discount Tire is just a chain tire store, so I don't think they would have effect on tire quality. I love Discount Tire, they offer free life time balance and rotation. You can also buy "Tire Certs" and they will replace your tire no questions asked for a deductible...I think it is like $40 now. So I replaced almost $600 worth of tires for $80.

I really like the tread design of the RT's. I am hoping for some tall skinnies out of them since they already have 255/80 in the AT3W's. I was hoping to jump up in size but this might make me stay with that tire size.

I'm interested in these in 285's when available.

Love the look of those new Toyos. Wish they were out when I got my Maxxis this summer.
