  • All the history, detailed specs, and entertainment I could ever want in a tire review video. You're awesome!
  • @thor2767
    i live in Lake Tahoe and I've been loving my Wild Peaks. this has been an incredibly tough and HEAVY winter with over 628 inches of snow and the Wild Peaks have taken me up and over our mountain passes and taken me through even our heaviest and worst road conditions of the season. I've had 2 sets KO2's before i got the Wild Peaks and they where a massive disappointment in the snow compared to the Wild Peaks.
  • @WW-wf8tu
    Perfect information. Specific to my interest and tire picks. 100% agree with your assessments and why. I have never had KO2's, but have been aware of them for quite some time. Eager to try them out. Cannot wait for my stock Dunlops Grandtrek to wear out so I can make the switch. Not that my Dunlops have been bad. In fact, they have been WAY better than anyone gives them credit for. Quiet, good mpg, long lasting, good in the rain, fair in the snow, good on the dry dirt. Mud they just are not going to work out for anyone. After 4+ years of all year round use and all terrain use, they have impressed me. But I could use something a little more seasonal. More weekend adventurous.
  • I"m on my second set of KO2s on my 2014 FJ TTUE. They run smooth and quiet. The first set I got roughly 60K. Looks like this set is gonna get about the same. I purchased a 1954 CJ3B last fall and I'm gonna put KO2s on it when the General wear out. I tend to go with what works. Great video. Thanks, RT
  • @wannabeangler
    I bought some KO2s for my Ram 2500 and they do fine. Like you said, no tire will work in everything. We can mistakes by not taking precautions. Great video.
  • @TUNDRALU
    Thanks so much for this info! I have just looked into a 2 and half inch lift on my 2015 Tundra.. so the next step is my rims and tires. this was a big help!
  • @GoodkatNW
    5k on our Falken AT3W's now. They've been fantastic in every possible condition (deep snow, rain and ice, freeway driving, rock, sand, silty dirt)
  • I have had all these tires, you’re comments are very bang on! For my climate in Alberta the falkens are the one I keep buying an recommending, they are really great in the winter
  • I have loved my AT3s on my f150. The weight does hurt my mpg but I'm currently at 70k miles and still have lots of tread. This will be the first set of tires I've ever owned that will be replaced due to age and not worn out tread.
  • I love my wildpeaks. Great for road trips and daily driver. Good in Colorado in snow.
  • @drodNY
    great comparison. Loving the Falken Wildpeaks on my 23 GMC Sierra 1500. Had them on my last truck too. Never failed me.. Also had the BF TAK02, which is another great tire. Both handled well in NY winters, and very capable as a daily all-season tire. Can't go wrong with either one. I have no experience with the Yokohama so can't say anything about them.
  • @magmomwise
    I have been running the Sumitomo Encounter all terrain tire for the last year and a half on my 08 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4wd. In winter this tire is a winner. Overall it has been a good tire .
  • I have absolutely loved my wildpeak at3s. Have put hundreds of thousands of miles on them. Have had them on ram 1500, Tacoma, ram 3500, been in every condition and have had zero complaints
  • @sonsoffishes1
    I have a 2010 lifted Sequoia running 35's and love the AT3W's. I came from Nitto Exo Grapplers (which were actually a pretty awesome tire that lasted 75,000 Miles with 7/32nds left) and also KO2's. This YouTuber is spot on with his analysis. I live in the Pacific Northwest so good wet and snow tires are a must. I also tow a 7k lbs RV and drive a lot of deep mud Forest Service Roads while fishing. Both the AT3W's and KO2's aren't great at deep mud and u need to be careful not to get stuck if you don't have a winch. But otherwise, the AT3W's are outperforming the KO2's and on track to beat them on longevity by a lot. Also, I can confirm that I have had a Falken Rep a couple years back confirm the high turn ups in the side wall making it 4 ply which is actually thicker than 3 ply on other tires including Ko2. The part that is 2 ply is heavily protected by the large side lugs so you're really only at risk on a very small amount of side wall. I can also confirm that these are not squishy tires in the slightest. When towing I'm completing solid. I felt more squishy in the KO2's than these. Both my brother and I have had KO2's and the life isn't nearly as good as it wears faster and you start with far less tread depth. If anyone wants to hear more about the Exo Grapplers let me know. They performed similar in mud, great in rain, slightly less effective in snow even though they have 3Peak Snowflake, super solid for towing, 3 ply sidewall, has the best look in my opinion, and outlast any other AT that I know of. The reason I switched to AT3W's is the increased snow performance which is critical for me.
  • @TheRealChappy
    I live in Buffalo NY. The wild peaks are extremely good in the snow, especially snow covered paved roads. Very close to a dedicated snow tire. Deep snow traction is pretty good too. After 5 ft of snow in November and a blizzard in December the falkens were really put to the test
  • I bought a 2022 rubicon jeep gladiator 1 year ago, it came with falken wildpeaks, 285 75 R17, no previous experience with this brand or tire. Its been good in Canadian winter, so good im impressed. The other conditions or tests haven't had time yet, but that it out performed Goodyear wrangler and Firestone destinations tells me something. The truck weighs 1250kg on the steering axle and 1250kg on the drive axle, evenly distributed. Havnt used 4x4 all winter yet, and I come and go from work at all hours of the day so road maintenance isn't always done. Very happy with them so far.
  • @edgrigsby8610
    I have Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my Ford Escape. I live in Michigan, so we get our fair share of snow and ice. I LOVE these tires. They are like claws in the snow. Never been seriously off road, but ive been in deep, loose sand and they did great. I have 65,000 miles on them. Still have apprx 1/8 tread left. Time for new ones for this winter. Getting another set...no question.
