Looking for a quick review on Falken Wildpeak MT tires

[SpeedyKevin]

Is a BMC needed to run this size?

I like that the lugs on the Falken MTs have a sipe on them.

I just had to remove the mudflaps. Using stock wheels

There isn't a lot of M/t threads all I have found were A/t's. I was looking for these Yokohamas Geolanders and Grabber X3's reviews/ real work issues and everything I can find is A/T tire and that is not what I was looking for. The problem with this site is, everything is all over the place.

Its a forum, what do you expect lol. You could make a thread linking all of the tire threads if youd like. Sticky quality right there!

Damn I live down by the beach and close to a Jeep dealer and nothing is for sale in my area. But then again there is nothing except half lifted Silverados.

I've had them for around 30k miles. First impressions when I got them, I really enjoyed them. They were quiet, they look good for MTs, and they performed well offroad. Mud isn't a problem, obviously, sand performance is great, and getting up rocks and going down steep technical sections were handled well. Snow performance is iffy on the MTs. MY buddy was on 50k miles on his AT3Ws and handled the snowy trail fine, but I was slipping and sliding everywhere. Going up to Mammoth with the MTs, I did not feel as planted as I was with the AT3Ws or even the stock duratracs. I know a lot of crawlers have complaints of the MT01s chunking after their first trip. I experienced minor chunking, but nothing major and nothing that I didnt expect. Now, after a couple years, I can say, I will be thinking about going back to AT3W Es after these bite the dust, but if I can find a nice pair of Jeep takeoffs for the right price, I would probably go back to them and finally rotate my spare into the mix so I wont have 1 brand new tire on the back of the truck.

Thanks Kev!


I looked on Craigslist and FB Market Place found 1 guy (a tire shop) with a set on jeep wheels wanting a Grand. I might be able to talk him into just selling me the tires but doubtful.

Will keep an eye out for some.

After 30K miles how much tread do you have left? Do you do mostly city or highway driving or 50/50?

I like these Falken M/Ts so much that I plan to get them again after my current set goes out.

A few mm past the first wear indicator. I don't have a tread wear gauge. Current driving is probably 70/30 on/off road. Mostly freeway driving. 70-75mph. 38-40psi. Rotate every oil change (7k oic) cross rear to front, and straight front to back. Loud MT noise a few hundred miles after rotation, but levels out after. These tires aren't "quiet" but they dont sound like some bro-dozers out there.
