Wildpeak AT3W

What's up everyone? Anyone have any longer term ownership of these tires and have any thoughts? I've narrowed it down to the Ridge Grapplers and the Wildpeak AT3W, and talked to Discount Tire. They would do around $830 out the door for the Falkens, and $1080 for the Nittos. They would also do $400 tire credit trade in on the stock Michellins. We do mostly highway, with some off-road once a month or so. We live in a four season area with rain, snow, some ice occasionally. The Falkens appear to be better in rain due to the siping, and also carry the snowflake traction symbol, and have a 55,000 mile tread warranty. The Nittos I don't know much about, I hear everyone likes them, but don't see much about how they do in rain. They do look cooler I would say, although that doesn't mean a whole lot. Enough gibberish, what say thee?

 

My bad, tire size I am looking at is 275 70 18.

Overall, I hear only good things with the Falkens.

 

I hear nothing but good things too, just wanted real world experience from people on here.

 

I haven't tried these tires but just based on your driving conditions I'd say the Falkens are what you need.

 

I ran the falken on my f150, I know don't judge me. I have nothing but good things to say. Rode great with low noise, good in the rain, decent traction in dirt sand and mud. No snow or ice feedback, live in South louisiana. Not to mention they are priced very well. When it's time for new tires if they offer the size I want I'll be buying them

 

I have Falkens, and I am very impressed with them. I would buy them again when my current pair needs replaced.

 

Anyone with Ridge Grapplers have any input on how they do in rain?

 

Toyo At2 here ......sorry for no info on what you looking for

 

No long term info but i have had the wildpeaks for a couple months and really like them. When my jeep needs tires i am getting wildpeaks for it.

 

Nice thanks for the info!

 

I have about 3000 miles on my set now.

Highway they are smooth, snow/ice they chewed through it very well. Wet pavement they haven't slipped yet.

Gravel and loose rock doesnt get picked up very much either.

 

Nice thank you for the help!

 

I've got the ridge grapplers and I really like them. I only have about 1500 miles on them, but they ride good and haven't had anything bad to say about them in the rain.

I was also between those two tires you are looking at and the price was very hard for me to get past on the Falkens. In the end, I went with the Ridge Grapplers because I was finally able to buy some new wheels to go with them and I really had my heart set on these when they came out before. I think they are the perfect amount of aggressiveness to compliment good road manners also and smooth ride and I finally bit the bullet and got them. With that said, if I had been keeping my stock steel wheels, I probably would have gotten the Falkens and kept on trucking. I will also possibly be putting the Falkens on my wife's grand Cherokee in the next couple years unless something else comes out by then.

 

The Falken are priced well for sure. Only heard good reviews.

 

Ran the Falkens on my Jeep and had zero issues or complaints. When stock Michelins wear out I will be getting the Falkens for my tundra

 

Thanks for everyone's responses. Leaning heavily towards the Wildpeak due to the fact we get a true 4 season climate, and they seem more set up for that. That being said I think the Ridge Grapplers are much cooler looking for sure!
