Love this tire, but if anyone is considering them, make sure they road force balance them when installing. Took me 3 trips to discount tire to get the vibration sorted out. The tech said he “doesn’t know why they didn’t road force balance them the other two times. These are known to be difficult to balance, especially for Toyota’s.”

Just put these on today in a 275x65R18. I am a bit surprised at how quiet they are on the road. Love the profile as well. I went to a 4x4 specific shop here in town and they had zero issues balancing them and I also had an alignment done as I added the Bilstein 5100’s all around.
Pressure is current at 35 psi but I may go up to 38 after I ride with them on a bit more.

Just did an overnight camping trip with my kids to big bear lake from corona on the Falken atw3. About 146 miles round trip. Did part of the trail off Knickerbocker rd 2N08, maybe 10 miles, in 4x4. Filled up the tank before heading out and reset the mpg numbers. This is a great tire.

Correct...
As an update, I have a little over 2k miles on mine now, and if anything I only love them more, especially after a fun weekend of trails... Previously I was running 32psi on the street, I only aired down to about 25 while off road and when I aired back up I decided to try 35psi and see how that goes. I'll report back after a few more thousand miles

I’ve only had mine for about 300 miles. The shop set them to 32psi and they looked a little flat to me. I increased them to 35. They feel great.

Online tire size calculators are great for looking at dimensions.

Also consider that the same sized Falken has a less rounded profile than the stock tires

You are welcome!
That was from my own 4Runner as I wanted to record how the new and old tires compared. It really underscores the fact that for numerous offroading scenarios a Falken P-Metric AT3W is hands down superior to any P-Metric street tread tire but some people get really frantic over that reality, LOL
Any of you here primarily city/highway driving? Are you happy with them? I'm searching the best looking AT tire for a truck that doesn't do hardly any AT drivingexcept maybe a dirt road now and again
Almost all of my driving is city/highway. I am pretty happy with them overall. Been great in the wet and snow. I have about 20k on them so far.

Went to San Diego for the day yesterday. 210 miles round trip. Averaged about 70 mph on the freeway with ac running on the way back. Got 21.3 mpg on the wildpeaks

I've seen the same for long steady freeway runs. It seems that city driving is where we take the hit on MPG with all terrain tires

It's almost time for me to replace my BFG KO2s'. How do theses Wildpeaks handle in the mud? I do not wheel with friends but hunt alone a lot. Getting stuck on the shoulder is not a option by yourself.
