Default 35x12.50r17 Falken Wildpeak AT

Can someone please measure the height and width of this tire? I'm about to purchase these tires but want to make sure they are a true 35" tire.

Thank you in advance guys!

At 32 psi under load they stand just under 34". They are about the same height as a km2.

Better side walls. If you are looking for a solid tire that performs well on rocks but is quiet on the road it is a great choice. I ran them at 10 psi on the rocks because they have very stiff sidewalls and never lost a bead. The weight really isn't that much of an issue once they are rolling. I even hung my spare off the stock carrier for 4 months without a problem.

They do pack up in wet sand and I've heard they aren't great in mud though.

This should give you an idea of what I've put them through.

Nice pics and thanks for the info! Thats pretty much what everyone said to but wasn't sure if weight was that much of a deal breaker.

They are heavier which as pointed out above is larger attributed to stronger sidewall, but the tread pattern also has an incredibly low rolling resistance so you will usually gain MPG versus other AT's and definitely versus MT's.

There are a couple of threads with more details on MPG from the Wildpeaks.

The price is hard to beat too.
