Default Tires

Has anyone had any experience about falken tires? Specifically the wildpike a/t? Or has heard any reviews of the tire or brand? Thanks guys

Falken Wildpeak tires were pretty much a copycat of Nitto Terra Grapplers. The Terra Grapplers get a ton of good reviews. I was going to get them for my 20's, but they were backordered, so I went with the Cooper Zeon LTZs. I'm actually glad that it all happened like that.

Go to the Discount Tire website and put in the tire size you want. There are a lot of people that review the tires on there based on a 5 star system.

It's risky going with that size, you may have to do some noticeable trimming.

I've order tires online (discounttiredirect.com) for 2 vehicles, never getting the warranty. I'll take the risk.

I've never gotten tire warranties. Places I go to for flat repair charge $10.
