hello from Falken Tires

315’s or 35x12.50’s on a 1st gen require tubing the firewall and other issues. A 35 pizza cutter would be ideal.

 

Use your words.

 

For the same reasons I went with 285/75/18 instead of the typical 35x12.50/18 or 295/70/18; the two biggest advantages are a substantially lower weight (less rotating mass/unsprung weight) and that a tall and skinny tire is able to "tank track" better at decreased off-road pressures. This isn't to say that a wider tire doesn't serve a purpose, there are absolutely situations where wider is better, but as an overall, the skinnier tire will work just as well if not better. Looking back at fairly famous off-road competitions globally, the "pizza cutter" (tall and skinny) has been the go-to choice for many years (this isn't' to jump on the "this is how it's always been done so we keep doing it" bandwagon at all, just saying it works)

 

Sorry I’ve been a part of the derailed thread. I know more about the tire industry than I want to, but nobody cares, nor do I. Apparently I know nothing a Cooper tires lol. Not to mention the struggles they have had with all their investment in China factories and the tire tariffs.

That said, for those that care, every tire sold in the US will list a Dot number. That gives you date of manufacturer plus it will also identify the plant that made the tire. If you don’t want a China tire, than just ask the tire dealer to inspect the dot code before install, they can even request matching date codes from the distributors.

but what do I know. Back to you Mr E.

 

Is that supposed to be me?

All I know is that you seemed to reply without reading the comments you quoted,thats all?

It came across to me as somewhat condescending as you were asserting the same things already mentioned by the factory man.

You tire knowledge had nothing to do with my comments at all.

 

Weighing the purchase of a Gen 1 Tundra to use these tires, or sell them off to a current Gen 1 Tundra owner....

 

Welcome Robert from Falken. Your comments are going a long way towards nudging me towards your tires. I appreciate the open and honest communication.

 

I have address the matter with the user.

Feel free to post questions on this thread. Or tag or @ me on threads that need attention that I may have overlooked.

 

No rub on the factory UCA at least on my truck. It is close but no contact.

 

Love my Wildpeak AT3s on my V8 4Runner. When my current tires wear out I will put a set on my Tundra.

 

Got the new skins installed today.

 

I almost did the same thing but ended up finding a new set on eBay. Depending on the size, I’d check there before settling for another tire.

 

Walmart has 275/65/18 in the Wildpeak A/T3W on sale right now for $188 a tire if anyone is looking for a sale

Just want to give anyone considering Walmart for tires. Note that Walmart will not provide tire after service/warranty if you do not purchase their optional warranty coverage. While you may save some bucks, you could most likely get your tires price matched or close to it with your local tire shop or authorize online vendor. From experience, Walmart may ship you wrong size tires and won't accept returns once tires are mounted on a wheel.

To save you from future headaches, check with your local/favority tire shop & see if they can get aggressive with pricing against Walmart or Amazon listings.

 

Got my Wildpeaks mounted up. So far so good!
How can I get some Falken decals?

 

Go ahead and send an email to inquiries@srnatire.com . Marketing will be handling your request.

 

Big fan of Falkens Wildpeaks AT3's...Very impressed so far with mild offroading to my deer stand... Great both on and offroad.. Happy camper!!

 

Put Wildpeaks on my 16 Tacoma. Very pleased with both wet and dry traction as well as low noise.

 

hello all. Hold off on sending emails to info@. I'll check back tomorrow on a proper email that goes directly to marketing.

 

I had wildpeaks on my tacoma. The only AT I will buy from here on out. Looking forward to getting some for my tundra.

 

Thanks for being here @Falken QA !


I have some AT3W’s on my GX470 and I love them.
When my Tundra is ready for new tires thats what I will be going with.

 

I second the local tire shop. I did all my "shopping"/deciding here and all the big online retailers, but when I was ready to purchase I went to a highly rated local shop. His price on the Wildpeak was better than anyone else out there...unfortunately they were/are on back stock. I wasn't in a rush since I was waiting on wheels too. But now my wheels are here and I'm sitting on a set of Icon Vector 5s waiting for some 285/75-17 wildpeak AT3ws. I don't "need" tires so it will be okay, just don't love the stock michelins.

 

email contact updated for sticker request

 

Thanks @Falken QA! I put an email in.

Edit: got an automated bounce back. Email address is no good.

 

Same

 

proceed with

My apologies all. inquiries@srnatire.com

I was too quick to reply back. I have tested myself and have not received any bounce back

 

Did anyone ever get a sticker? Or a response?

I've seen nothing come out of emailing them.

 

Love my AT3’s, would buy again in a heartbeat.
Glad to have you on the forum!

 

Nope. I received an email asking for my info at the end of October but have yet to receive anything in the mail.
