Falken WildPeak AT3W Questions & Answers

As I understand it they are LT spec and made in Japan

No, can get both in P and LT spec and come from Japan or Thailand factory. Only LT are 3ply sidewall.

They will do absolutely fine for your needs but for the sake of fuel economy you're probably better off going for a highway biased tyre such as the Wildpeak HT

Thank you

yep

No idea, have a look on the manufacturer's website?

Falken has 3 production facilities in Japan, plus production facilities in China, South Africa, Brazil, the USA, and Turkey.

Hi Gareth, I have currently 95000on ours and they will have at least 15k-20k left in them. They have worn really even with the pressures I run. I will go another set without hesitation.

Hi Bernard Thats an astonishing amount of ks 'what pressure do you recommend ' i have a Nissan Patrol

I bought my AT3's from Beaudesert Tyre Store.

Hi Jason, thanks for that, were they 235/60/R18s

Your assumption of 2 ply sidewall is incorrect from a construction point of view. From a lamination perspective they are 2 ply. Remember it’s 2 ply overlapped. The tread of the A/T3Ws feature a six-ply construction that consists of two layers of steel, polyester and polyamide.

The AT3W use a unique tread continued sidewall ply design, therefore the 2 ply sides are multiplied giving 4 ply sides. I’ve never seen a sidewall failure on a Falken AT3W

Thanks for your reply..But what about tread ply? Are they 4ply also or something different?

“...six-ply construction that consists of two layers of steel, polyester and polyamide...”

not a question I can get an answer to either!

Just look at the sizing chart on the Falken website. If it has LT next to the size then it's Light Truck, generally, the 18" & up sizes are not LT.

I'm sorry I cannot give you any technical info as per your question ,,, all I can say is that I have had a few brands of tyres on my Troopy over the years including the Dunlops you have ,, plus ,, B F Goodrich and Coopers on which I toured Australia on some pretty rugged terrain. I was happy with the Dunlop and Goodrich tyres, disappointed in the Coopers and so far I am happy with the Falkens albeit I haven't done any serious off-roading yet. For a rugged looking tyre they are very quiet around town but I cannot give you any thoughts on 4WDing, although my tyre supplier has given me great recommendations. Give em a try and good luck.

If you stay with the same size tyre there is no change to any aspect of your vehicle. If you change the tyre size you will need to stay withing any legal constraints applicable, here we are allowed 2 inch larger diameter for example. Then you will need to check whether larger diameter and/or width will foul the wheel arch - steering wheels have more movement. If there is any fouling you may be able to panel beat, adjust steering lock etc. or you may need suspension modification. Best place to look would be on a Ranger owners forum.

my mate put 285/65/17 on his 2019 Ranger wildtrack without any mods or lift

On the road I run 38psi and depending on conditions as low as 18psi.

Thanks

I run coopers on 48psi on a dmax very good mileage
