New Falken AT tire (A/T3W)

[T4R_KAI]

I came across some C ply 285s....are they real or mythical like a unicorn? Falken doesnt even show them as an option on their website.

Reached out to tire buyer and they showed me the way. Apparently they are OEM for the new Jeep Gladiator in that size.

62 lbs? No dice.

was just about to say that.

How do you make a C-rated tire with a shallower tread heavier than an E-rated tire with a deeper tread :der:

Good point....must be Jeep logic?

I posted a pic of the gladiator recently in this thread showing the C load so I’m not surprised they came to market. Thank god! C is perfect for our rigs but 61lbs?!?!? What in the serious hell?

Anyone see any deals? I'll be ordering this weekend. Currently leaning towards 275/70r17 to get C load range, but bouncing back and forth with stock 265/70r17 SL.

The Jeep is my main off-road toy, but the 4R gets some action. Next month we will be driving from TX to Canada, and stopping in Moab. It has also done BBP/Imogene Pass and a few others.

I bet its not 61lb. The KO2 in 285/70/17 is 51lb .... lol

The same size E load Falken is 59 lbs so it’s fully plausible since the Falkens run heavy except in SL flare.

Discount Tire is doing a 10% rebate.



I have 45,000 miles now on my 265/70r17 SL A/T3Ws, and they are still doing great. We just got back from Moab last month, and they performed perfectly...

Great pictures and awesome to see the SLs hold their own in MOAB and aired down!
