Fallen at3w avoid.

A6, they balanced fine even took it to a well respected independent tire shop all with the same results. Factory trd off road wheels stock tire size.

Hmmm.. im running them on the trd pro wheels no issues. The only slightly annoying thing for me is trying to find the correct PSI for daily driving. I would call Falken directly. Maybe the can set you up with a new set?

Best all around tire I have ever driven! 7k miles
Shimmy has happened to every off-road based tire manufacturer the 4Runner tends to be more sensitive
increases in tire pressures cured mine and rotate 3x a year
Search shimmy and you will hit everyone :vader:
But tire shimmy is :deadhorse: storyline

i did a lot of research on tires before I bought. Pretty much every make-specific forum has people complaining about Falkens being hard to balance and wearing unevenly.

FWIW, I went with General Grabber ATX, mostly due to the snowflake rating and white letters. they've been great for 5k so far. they suck on ice or on wet slush, but on dry or fresh snow, dirt, and mud, they're great.

20K+ plus miles on mine with no issues what-so-ever. Highly recommend them

Work for the nations largest tire retailer and we have replaced multiple sets of at3w's for out for round/ride complaints all on toyota vehicles for whatever reason they don't mesh with yotas.

The problem is obviously that OP bought knockoff Fallen tires instead of Falkens

I had the same issue with my Falkens until I had the stealership rebalance them...been perfect ever since. May want to go that route to see if this resolves your shimmy and shakes.

I have stock size SL load AT3W’s on TRD Pro Wheels. Made in USA.

On cold mornings I occasionally get a little shake at 55-65mph when first driven, my thinking is the tires develop a flat spot from sitting overnight and once warmed up the shake disappears.

These tires seems very sensitive to tire pressure. I’ve settled on 32psi all around as the most comfortable.

Been very happy with the tires overall through 5k miles.

Stock sized SL for over 45K miles on my 4runner. They do get a little "shaky" when cold sometimes but overall I've been content with them. They've gotten a tad feathered despite having been rotated every 5K miles but overall wear is uniform across all 4. Will probably put another set of those in 5K miles or so.

Can't wait to get rid of mine.

Me neither. Can't even rotate them because I have to keep the worst ones in the back or I'll feel it in the steering wheel bad. Both times that I rotated and rebalanced when they were close to new, it took three road force tries and the same ones ended back up on the rear anyway. So I don't rotate anymore but that's fine, the quicker they are gone the better.

HELLO TRY TIRE PRESSURE :target:
You will feel a HUGE difference

I have the 275/70/17 C rated tires.

Went to a tire shop who ACTUALLY knew how to use a road force balancer after having them installed at 1,200 miles.

Absolutely no issues since and setting them to 33 PSI. Perfect tread wear and no shake whatsoever.

Best part is the tires look darn near new. Depth gauge says I'm at 14/32 across the tread.

I put brand new falken wildpeak at3w on my trd 4Runner at 400 miles. I’m currently at 8800 miles, in that time span I have had my tires road force balanced 4 times. Yesterday, I watched as discount tire balanced all 4 tires and there machine said they were good. At 55-65 had crazy shake in steering wheel. Today they replaced all 4 tires for free with there house branded branded pathfinder AT. 4 runner rides great with Zero shake in steering wheel. Sales man said he has had to replace 4 sets of wildpeaks in the last 2 weeks and that he tells customers to stay away from them. I guess you get what you pay for.

I've had mine for about 8K miles and I've ran many, many different tires. So far these AT3's are the best I have ran. Very smooth on road. Amazing in the rain. Great in the snow. No shakes at any speed. I'm super happy with mine.

This^^^ Bought 5 - 1/29/2021, to replace the stocker Nitto's...
285/70/17 Wildpeaks E load range.

Discount Tire did the install and balance. No issues at all. Smooth ride (40psi) no balance issues. They DID take a large strip of balance weights on a couple, but they did balance out perfectly.

Amazing tire overall. Both on pavement and off. about 3500 miles on them now. On the buy again list, when needed in about 30K miles.
