Just checked pricing there today 4/25/2021 and they are priced at $115.18 per tire plus shipping! Still a great deal, hope this helps someone! Stock size 225/60R17
Thanks for posting these vids. Your helping out more people than you might think.

As of 11/26/23, they are now 190ea for the 225/60/R17. Crazy how prices spike that much.
I came back just to post. I was gonna get my tires through mavis and they were gonna charge me 660 for everything. I paid 507 for the tires and 81 to get the tires put on. Total 588. You saved me 70 dollars, Thank you!!!!
Thanks! Congrats on the new tread! Whoop whoop!
I watched Terry Farmer’s TH-cam video that pointed folks to your videos. I did a little research and then went to Discount Tire today and they price matched the Discounted Wheel Warehouse price ($107/tire when in my cart... thanks for that tip too! $125 when not in the cart and $125 at Discount Tire) on the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 225/60R17. You saved me ~$76 today. Thanks!!
Thanks man! Glad we could help! It's crazy the tires popularity took off! When I bought mine from discount wheel warehouse they were like $85 each or so! Crazy! But glad you were able to save some money!
Hey brother, thanks for the tip I just purchased the wildpeak at trail for significantly less then discount tire. I got quoted 900 but got them for 675 shipped.👍
Going to swap out the stocks for the Falkens as soon as I get my new Forester. Bought them for $355 plus tax and shipping at wheel warehouse compared to $580 at Discount Tire. Doesn't look like discount wheel warehouse has the discounted price on these anymore so I'm happy that I got them while they were on sale! All thanks to you my friend!
Maybe they watch my videos then change the price...
ive got em on my grand marquis and can still throw the car around pretty well. decent stuff
I got this tires about a week ago on my '17 Toyota Sienna AWD they are very light compared to the Run Flat Tires that are factory and didn't last long. I am very happy and pleased so far didn't need a lift only 1cm. spacer not totally required but just in case went from 235/55/18 to 235/60/18. The van rides better stops faster compared to the extremely heavy useless RFT.
Thanks so much for great share and videos! I have an 16 Forester I got a few months ago, with 41k Miles; looking for new tires soon... so had Geolanders last year on Caravan, after monster snow year.. they were great, but pricey. Now with Subee AWD; all 4 need to match, so thanks again for all your research, and information! All the best to you and all in the New Year! Cheers from the PNW :)
Thank you for sharing & kind words! I'm totally happy with the tires, especially on dirt/gravel roads.
All great info! Thank you.
Great update vid! Thanks for the shout out! This vid almost makes me want to buy another set while the getting is good.😂 Glad you got your Sube back right, and it wasn’t worse than it was.👍🏾✌🏾
Thanks bro! The video got a little long and dry... but maybe it helps someone.
MT it’s hard trying to keep a vid interesting when there’s nothing exciting going on. Lol. You have some a-holes out there who act like they’re forced to watch your vid all the way thru, and leave crappy comments. I just scratch them and keep it moving.😂. The more we do, the better we get.👍🏾
Lol! Good point taken!
Tires look good and nice price. Debating between these and the new Michelin Crossclimate2 for my Subaru 🤔. Thanks for the update!
I’m thinking of equipping these tires onto my 09 Subaru FXT with no lift.
You mentioned that your mileage went down in your city driving and was wondering how much it went down. Great video, by the way--appreciate your work in putting this together!
Thanks, yes it went down and varies with how much city acceleration is done. I'd say around 3-5 mpgs. But keep in mind I came from a very light eco tire, the a heavy all terrain.
I believe this tire is a bit larger, and would make your odometer indicate lower than actual miles. Tires of the same size do vary by a noticeable amount.
$152 for 225/55/18. I’ll stick to buying them at my local shop since it’s about the same price they’ll have them for. So much for a “discount” but thank you for the heads up nonetheless.
Thanks, yea unfortunately tires with a larger rim diameter usually cost more to manufacture. In my videos I am adressing stock tire size for my vehicle 225/60R17, and I just checked again on DWW today, at $107.76 per tire plus shipping. Not near as low as they were at the time I purchased. I would suspect there is a high demand for these tires now, driving prices up. I think you will NOT regret your purchase though, I'm still ours! good to support local -always! Cheers!
Just paid $150 per tire now days. No install yet. You got a smoking deal.
I have the TOYO Celsius on my legacy and they are great only bad thig is longer breaking in rain but not that bad
I have the same tires in my 2016 RAV4 and my MPG’s are also down but I have no regrets too.
Totally worth it! Thanks for subscribing! They look good on your Rav4!
AT2WA lo llevan los Dodge RAM 1500 bighorn,backcountry,built to serve,rebel,etc
yeah but those are 17.. I just got the 225/55r18 version for $151 a piece from ebay. No taxes. $604 total for 4 tires shipped. I'll be installing this in my 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander with factory rims.
I had the very same accident ($7K in damage in my case) during a sudden Winter storm catching me out & about in a hilly residential area. It was my right-front tire though hitting the curb! I was in Subaru Crosstrek XV (2014) BUT it had the OEM All-Season tires on it.
Goes to show no matter how good the AWD/4x4 system is, if you have "inappropriate" tires on it can't save you.
Right now my Honda Pilot AWD (2016) has Continental TerrainContact AT tires on it. When I get my 2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2 in March, it comes with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs. After they wear out will decide if I want to stay with them or go with another brand AT (and 3-Peak) rated tire.
The Falken Wildpeak will be one of the tires on my Short List. Probably something General makes also.
I usually use Discount Tire...but of course will try to get the best deal on new tires no matter where I get them.

That's sucks! Definitely unexpected loss of traction.
For your Colorado, consider the Cooper AT34S, I put them on my truck, lots of snow driving, and snowflake rated, 65k mile warranty, good price, made in USA. I have a video review on my channel on them on my truck, one of my earlier videos, but I really recommend them.
@@MTsubfly Okay...will add the Coopers to my Short List...even though it will be a few years before I'll need to replace the DuraTracs, and who knows what tires will be out then...and which are top-rated.
Thanks,
-- BR
I've been buying my tires at Discount Tire for over a dozen years they buy the cheapest tires I can get in for around $90 I get a warranty free tire rotation and if I get a flat tire they fix it it's all part of it 90 bucks of Tire including tax
90% people looking for tires don't shop around. They jsut go with what is available and convenient (while gettting other services) when they need them!
That's pretty much what I did at Costco when I bought the Ecopias. Of course their spiel was how good they are, on sale, we sell a lot of them.... BUT now I know from research there are far better all-season tires for the money. But where I live, I have found having the Falken AT a tremendous value, and they have been performing great. Only drawback is some MPG's lost.
Great review, heads up though usually when you get noise intermittently when you turn/load up or down on a corner in my experience had been a suspension bushing(s) whereas a wheel bearing will get loud constantly with speed. Lmk if that helps good luck.
Nhan Quach, it sounds like a dull, wha wha wha, when loaded up in a corner, not a continuous sound. My thought was only a few rollers were dinged in the impact, making it a pulsing sound. Its stayed the same for 500 miles.
The lower control arm assembly was replaced (ball joint/associated bushings) no sign of damage to strut. What else could it be? Are there more bushings? Hmmmm.
MT There could possibly be more bushings, only way is to take the tire off and look at the bushings for rips, cracks and tears. Some cars have an upper assembly also.
@@nhanquach4388 thanks, I will look into it more.
Dang, just checked today and the Falken Wildpeak AT's are $105 per tire if you add them to your cart on DWW. Still less than $145, but it looks like I'm a couple weeks too late for the smoking deal!
Their prices suddenly have been going up and down a lot. Not sure why.
@@MTsubfly Yeah, makes me wonder if I should snag them at $105 while I can, or hold out for a lower price and just check daily. I'm not in a rush or anything.
It must be based on their stock on hand, and demand. Demand for them has been high. So if you like the deal, it might be best to snag them. But try calling them, ask questions. My shipping was lower when I called them vs online.
good content, next time if you see yourself in a situation where you start to slip like that throw the car in neutral then counter steer
Any new links ? Can't find any under $140 right now. Looking for 255/55R18. Think I missed the deals. Great video btw.
That's tough, tires usually get pricier going up in rim size. I looked around for it and the best I found was priority tire had $141.99 free shipping.

Regarding my factory size 225/50/R17 they are still on discount wheel warehouse, click add to cart, and the price goes down to $105/tire.

You might have to go 255/60/18
Hi Mark. I watched this video and your older one about the tires. Just to clarify is your Forester completely stock? No issues with your car since you switched from using all season?
No issues, stock, stock sizing
@@MTsubfly thanks!
Wildpeak A/T is much different from Ecopia A/S which are road tires only!
Just wanted to check something - sometimes when tire resellers price tires so low (often at walmart and costco), they're buying from a lower quality batch of tires. I almost purchased my Toyo OC AT3's through a site similar to this, but after reading up on the tire reviews, many people who paid the discounted rates had tires that shed tread or wore unevenly. Do you think this could be the case for these Wildpeaks through discounted wheel warehouse?
No I don't think so at all. My tires looked high quality, no visible defects, have been driving great, and wearing great too. Zero complaints.
@@MTsubfly man, thanks so much for putting this guide up. Decided to check with discount tire to see if they'd price match them, turns out they did! Saved me $300 on a set of these for our outback
@@Adamman217 SWEEEET! Well worth it, you are gonna love them!
Hello, i have 2011 outback 17” wheels original size.... the factory size tire is 225/60R17.... can i put your tires falken a/t 225/60R17 with out lifting my suby whit spaicers??? Thanks for letting me know
If you have stock car height, stock wheel size, then stock size tires should fit fine.
Can a 65 series still fit?
They might. There are other guys that have clearance issues without a lift. It's your risk. In my opinion there is no real need to go to a larger tire, you are going to be straining your engine/drivetrain more, and get even worse fuel economy. If stock All-terrains on a Subaru wont get you where you need to go, you need a different vehicle, or you are looking for a certain "look". Check out Terry Farmer's video, I think he went up a size and almost had a little rubbing. Goodluck!
Dam i got mine from discount tires and paid 789 bucks for mine :(
AT3WA da muy buen mejor mpg y es casi tan bueno en off road ,es mejor en carretera !!
