they aren't the most agressive "looking" tire you can get but hell if they don't perform really well. we ran a set and they not only are awesome on the trail, they will actually boost your mpg as well.

Love the wild Peaks!

They are great on and off road. Very quiet and smooth on the highway too. And in my opinion the price could not get much better!

I'm looking into getting a set of these for my JK in the 37/12.5/17 size. Most of my driving is on road so the smoothness and nice ride quality are definately positives.
Any additional positives you can add? How did they seem to wear for you?

Thanks

they are definitely smooth and quite on pavement and, like i said before, yielded maybe 2 extra mph. so far, they seem to wear like iron and if i recall correctly, falken offers a 50,000 mile warranty on them. off road, they work incredibly well too - rocks, sand, snow and surprisingly, even in muddy terrain. if there is a downfall to them, it's was my friends giving me crap about the way they look but, none of them could argue how they performed.

I had a set on the 2006 TJ I just traded in 3 months ago for my JKU. I had about 10,000 miles on them and they did not seem to show any wear at all. I have 5,000 miles on the ones on my JKU now and they show no signs of wear compared to my spare.

Nice to know, thanks for the info. Was looking into a heavy mud terrain but in all honesty...for how much I do it I think I'd sacrificing to much ride quality and noise. I agree on the appearance but...well it is still a big tire...lol.

Do you know how the tires tend to run? How true to size they are?

Thanks

I think they look more aggressive in person than seeing pics of them. Oh and my 285/70/17 measure a little over 32"
