Default New Tires

So I was browsing through my four wheeler magazine earlier and was reading the coverage on the Easter Safari trip. One of the JK's in there was sponsored by Falken Tires. I was just curious about their product so I figured that I'd check the forum. Does anyone sport a set of Falkens? If so, what are your opinions?

When someone says Falkens I think cheap low profile tires for Rice Boys back in the 90's.

Ok... I'll admit, kinda funny.

We (Falken) are certainly more well known for our high performance low profile tires. On a positive note, our high performance tires have won Consumer Reports tire review on two separate occasions. We build a quality product that performs well.

Today our company is 10 times larger than we were just over 10 years ago and we are beginning to expand our product offerings.

Our newest is the Wildpeak A/T.

We believe the Wildpeak A/T's are the best tire out there for the money, right now! The sidewalls are strong, they ride great on the road, and they are aggressive enough to stand up to almost any off road situation. They are obviously an A/T so the only real terrain that would be excessively challenging for the Wildpeaks would be mud.

We believe in the tire so much we put a 30 Day Ride Guarantee on them!! If you are not 100% satisfied bring them back to wherever you purchased them (within 30 days) and they will give you your money back! They also carry a 50,000 Mile Treadwear warranty. It is hard to find another A/T tire offering this kind of warranty.

If you pick up the September issue of Off Road magazine (on stands now) they just did a review on the Wildpeak A/T (page 74 & 75).

Let us know if you try them out! We would be interested in your feedback.

They wouldn't be on here if they weren't trusted as a good sponsor. Not to mention their wildpeaks actually look pretty good for the money. Keep bumping this, someone will answer...I believe there was even a thread a week or 2 ago for a give-away on a set of their tires

WOL is running 37'' Wildpeaks on Lil' Nemo. You should check out some of his threads. I remember reading a review he did and he has lots of pics too!

In my latest JP mag, lots of the JK's in the "JK Experience" article are running the Falken WildPeak A/T's...and these aren't just everyday JK's either, some badass rigs. From what it sounds like it is a great tire for just about anything. Looks to be great on the street too.
