There are FAR better tires than the Falkens unless you're on a tight budget...but, you did just buy a $75K truck.
I have had Faulken before. A very good tire.
I put the 295/70/18 Wildpeaks on my Tundra after having Ridge Grapplers and KO2s. The wildpeaks are my least favor of the 3 looking. Just not as aggressive as the other 2 but have out performed the other 2.
Happy that you have had a good experience. They like them too over on the Subaru forums...more for looks than anything and they're cheap! However, I typically go by Tire Rack Road Tests and what others on Truck Forums say, and there's a TON of tire info on the Inet everywhere. The latest tire review I read from a highly reputable publication that did this recently (wish I could remember where I read it) stated the BFG KO2 is "the" best tire for both off-road and highway driving. The TOYO AT3 was also an excellent performer. I almost put Ridge Grapplers on my 2021 RAM. I would NEVER put Terra Grapplers on any vehicle. But, after reading several reviews and speaking with many that did install the Ridges, they ALL stated that they were HORRIBLE in wet weather and I live in FL where we get dumped on heavily in the Summer. I don't buy tires for looks...I buy them for SAFETY. If I were going to buy tires today, I think I'd land on the BFG's.
I have had the Toyo’s bfg’s and faulken and the faulken where the worst looking but performed far better than the other tires for me. Faulken was way better in the snow and the wet than the Toyo’s and lasted waaaaay longer than the bfg’s. I don’t believe 300 plus a tire puts them in the cheap category either but everyone should buy whatever tire they want and I hope it all works out for you.
Wow. Same experience here. I actually did install them because I was tired of paying so much and thought I was saving a few bucks with them (as I had tried the KO2 and Ridge grapplers) and have been blown away with performance. Agree, that they are not the best looking. I like the ridge grapplers the best and Ko2 the second best. But the ridge grapplers wet performance almost scared me. Again from a stop in wet roads, my back tires would spin almost every time and the Tundra (2021) is kinda sluggish. If there was a ton of torque I’m not sure who bad they’d be.
Very interesting to hear such positive reviews on the Falkens. Thanks for sharing your personal experiences guys!
I’m running 295/70 R18 Mickey Thompson a/t and no issues with stock rims.
Depends upon rim offset and width, tire width and height, how your truck sits stock, etc.
got cha!
Got cha.
Lifting won't solve clearance issues for tires bigger than 34.5 inch tall. The stock tires on stock wheels are close to 34 inch already. Even 0 offset will get close to rubbing above 34 inch tires. Any negative offset will rub some above 34 inches. Check out my thread on trimming. It's easy.
