ATW3 comes in LT and none LT sizes. The none LT has the 2ply but the LT is a true 10ply (thats why the weight is higher but the tire compound is different so not as good in the snow)
All the history, detailed specs, and entertainment I could ever want in a tire review video. You're awesome!
Ahh thanks… I was hoping people wouldn’t get bored with the history tangent… I love history maybe a bit too much.
Perfect information. Specific to my interest and tire picks. 100% agree with your assessments and why. I have never had KO2's, but have been aware of them for quite some time. Eager to try them out. Cannot wait for my stock Dunlops Grandtrek to wear out so I can make the switch. Not that my Dunlops have been bad. In fact, they have been WAY better than anyone gives them credit for. Quiet, good mpg, long lasting, good in the rain, fair in the snow, good on the dry dirt. Mud they just are not going to work out for anyone. After 4+ years of all year round use and all terrain use, they have impressed me. But I could use something a little more seasonal. More weekend adventurous.
Thanks so much for this info! I have just looked into a 2 and half inch lift on my 2015 Tundra.. so the next step is my rims and tires. this was a big help!
A great review with good observations about the differences between AT tires and how the best choice depends on where one wheels
I live in central Alaska and both of our jeeps wear BFG KO2s which work really well in our long winters.
I"m on my second set of KO2s on my 2014 FJ TTUE. They run smooth and quiet. The first set I got roughly 60K. Looks like this set is gonna get about the same. I purchased a 1954 CJ3B last fall and I'm gonna put KO2s on it when the General wear out. I tend to go with what works. Great video. Thanks, RT
Excellent review and a no BS commentary, thank you!
I bought some KO2s for my Ram 2500 and they do fine. Like you said, no tire will work in everything. We can mistakes by not taking precautions. Great video.
i live in Lake Tahoe and I've been loving my Wild Peaks.
this has been an incredibly tough and HEAVY winter with over 628 inches of snow and the Wild Peaks have taken me up and over our mountain passes and taken me through even our heaviest and worst road conditions of the season.
I've had 2 sets KO2's before i got the Wild Peaks and they where a massive disappointment in the snow compared to the Wild Peaks.
My KO2's on my ram 1500 have never impressed me in snow. I live in Pacifia but am in Tahoe multiple times a year. I also only got 46K out of the K02's and honestly, two of mine are bald so i'd argue I only should have gotten 40K if i was paying more attention. Having some Wildpeaks installed. Hoping i like them more.
I live in northern Utah and we also got our ass handed to us this winter. My Falken Wildpeaks performed awesome.
How about ice?
@@JasonBedienthow is it?
@@JasonBedient 3:01 ❤
I have been running the Sumitomo Encounter all terrain tire for the last year and a half on my 08 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4wd. In winter this tire is a winner. Overall it has been a good tire .
Nebraska driver here with a gravel road addition Tacoma. Leveling kit being installed when I find the energy but appreciate the tire vids since I’m upgrading in the next few weeks.
great comparison. Loving the Falken Wildpeaks on my 23 GMC Sierra 1500. Had them on my last truck too. Never failed me.. Also had the BF TAK02, which is another great tire. Both handled well in NY winters, and very capable as a daily all-season tire. Can't go wrong with either one. I have no experience with the Yokohama so can't say anything about them.
I have had all these tires, you’re comments are very bang on! For my climate in Alberta the falkens are the one I keep buying an recommending, they are really great in the winter
This is good to know! I'm in Sask so I was wondering if I could even get these. I hadn't heard of em before. Do you know how they compare in price to the ko2?
@@redneck82 pretty similar iirc, integra tire dealers carry falkens an generally will have deals/sales as they’re individually owned
I bought a 2022 rubicon jeep gladiator 1 year ago, it came with falken wildpeaks, 285 75 R17, no previous experience with this brand or tire. Its been good in Canadian winter, so good im impressed. The other conditions or tests haven't had time yet, but that it out performed Goodyear wrangler and Firestone destinations tells me something. The truck weighs 1250kg on the steering axle and 1250kg on the drive axle, evenly distributed. Havnt used 4x4 all winter yet, and I come and go from work at all hours of the day so road maintenance isn't always done. Very happy with them so far.
I love my wildpeaks. Great for road trips and daily driver. Good in Colorado in snow.
Thank you for this video. I went with the WildPeaks for our Gladiator. They are amazing so far, especially living in Michigan.
How do they perform on the highway compared to stock tires? I'm looking into replacing the stock tires on my 2018 JL Unlimited. Some say they are loud...others say they are quiet.
@@impalakev compared to the stock highway tires, it's night and day off road. And they are very quiet for an A/T on the highway.
My wildpeaks are killing it this winter here in montana.
I have Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my Ford Escape. I live in Michigan, so we get our fair share of snow and ice. I LOVE these tires. They are like claws in the snow. Never been seriously off road, but ive been in deep, loose sand and they did great. I have 65,000 miles on them. Still have apprx 1/8 tread left. Time for new ones for this winter. Getting another set...no question.
Thanks for confirming my plans. Been researching and pricing wheels and tires for a while now for my VW Touareg TDI eventually. Had my eye on the Wildpeaks already but I also live in Buffalo so thanks for this!
Excellent and well thought out review! I live out in the sticks and do a lot of highway driving, minimum of 65 miles 6 days a week with a lot of days up to 180 mixed in. I've always ran the ko2's which have been great and wore well for me. With the increased amount of driving however I switched to highway tires which have been good. The problem is with being in the sticks, the clearing of roads and blowing snow makes the highway trash, then I've got 2 miles of dirt roads from the farm to the highway. So whenever we get any moisture, the roads turn to straight mud and I may as well be driving on slicks. Anyway, think I may give the Falkens a go this time. Worse case scenario is I'll only have to deal with them for a year if I don't like them due to the mileage I've been putting on lol. Sorry for the long comment and thank you again for the great video
Round 2 of Best AT Tire is out - Best All Terrain Tire Round 2 is Out Now - in this video we reviewed the TOP requested tires by YOU the Audience - th-cam.com/video/MYwexVQiHvI/w-d-xo.html - There are some good tires in here.
5k on our Falken AT3W's now. They've been fantastic in every possible condition (deep snow, rain and ice, freeway driving, rock, sand, silty dirt)
This comment right here is why I’ll purchase the Falkens next 👍
The production quality, info flow, methodology and reasoning are off the chart! OMG.
Thanks for watching... I am editing my review of the KO3 right now so watch for that this weekend.
Nice editing! Great video. You inspired me to get a Tundra with some of your earlier videos. I’m excited to get into over-landing this year!
I’m actually working on a Do’s/Don’ts overland build video right now… I have learned a bit these last two years… still love my Tundra!
You all have to check out the Hankook A/T 2 Extreme. They look great and have a luxury car feel on the pavement with great stopping and rain handling.
Excellent review! My son had the KO2s on his 2019 JL Rubicon. I was driving it a few years back and we got into a pretty good snow storm in central Missouri. I wasn't impressed with them. They were good everywhere else, but in my opinion, kind of sucked in the snow. I put the Falkens on my Tacoma last fall and you are correct, they are fantastic in the snow and have have good highway manners. They do have a softer sidewall, but they ride really nice. My son replaced his KO2s with Falkens, at my recommendation and he loves them.
I can avoid the really greasy mud, but I can't avoid the snow.
Now, we'll see how they wear!
Good video!
Hi. Just out of curiosity, did you air down and how old/worn were the tires? I think those factors play an important role how well they perform in snow, in addition to other factors like vehicle specific weight and such. My ko2's are 6 years old, only have about 1/8" tread left and rubber is quite hard. My FJ's front end wanted to drift left and right at times while in 4 wheel drive when driving up a 30° road recently in 2" of snow. It was interesting--first time using 4 wheel drive in snow. I've never actually ever aired down in snow before while driving my BMW or any of my previous cars, but am going to from here on out. Falken definitely have more siping, so that's a major plus.
@@nitroburn72 No, we didn't air down because we were on the highway and had hours to go. At the time, I think the KO2s had about 10,000 miles on them. I think the Falkens are better in the snow because of all of the siping. I think the BFG is a sturdier tire though.
I’ve had a great experience with the Goodyear ultraterrains
Had them on my tacoma and now on a tundra
Interesting about the Falken Wildpeaks. We run the A/T Trails on our Subaru Ascent. We've done numerous offroad trips (thousands of miles now?), including part of the BDR trails in Utah (through Moab as well) and Washington state. We've taken them through mud, dirt, rock, gravel, dry and wet, everything in between and they have been absolutely amazing. Performed far better than I ever expected, until..... last weekend, we took them with a group up into the fresh powder (about 18" fresh and actively snowing). A Toyota Tacoma was lead vehicle (we were first on the trail, so the Tacoma was plowing), we were 8th out of 9 vehicles and we were the only vehicle to get stuck (3 times!), had to get a pull out each time. Everyone else had zero issues. So in the snow, these were very underwhelming.
However, I am about to buy the Wildpeak AT3W within a day or two for another deeper snow run (probably closer to 2ft deep). I'm expecting a lot (of snow performance) out of the AT3W, we are also going from 245/60R18 to 265/60R18, so more sidewall and about 1" taller overall (29.6" up to 30.5"). Not huge tires by any means, but much deeper tread, slightly wider and taller. I think this will allow us to air down a bit more than usual too and also help us float on top of the snow a bit better.
We plan on continuing to put miles on our A/T Trails (spring/summer/fall) and use the AT3W for winters until the A/T Trails are used up, then just run the AT3W year-round.
Great video explaining these tires. I've had 3 sets of the older BF Goodrich all terrain T/A on my 97 k1500. They were good in snow and still had good manners on the highway and interstate. I tried some general grabber a/ts. Not as impressed with them on the highway but they do good in wet. When looking again I'll probably put the BFG up against a Mickey Thompson Baja boss A/T. The only thing is I don't think the siping on the Mickey Thompson goes as far down as the BFG.
Old Ko was legend. 31 was 18/32 maybe 19/32. 30 was 15/32 so not good. I can report new Bfg Ko2 is quiet but not as grippy. Not cinfidemce inspiring in snow. Old Ko was maybe best tire ever produced now gone. 13 years out last set still had lots tread crazy.
Had the Grabbers, not bad. Have the Baja Boss now, huge improvement! Almost as good in Mud as my old Interco swamper STX, way better on road!
Nice video, dude! It was a little difficult to lose my ego and go away from the BFG's this time around when I needed new AT tires for my 2500 Cummins. I've always been a huge fan of the BFG's and when the KO2's came out, I went full-steam ahead and purchased them for my F150 at the time. I purchased them again for my Cummins when the stock tires wore out, because they're such a good tire. As much as I loved the tread design, performance, comfort and road noise of them when they were new, I wasn't as impressed with them as they approached the end of their life-cycle. They became quite loud and the snow and mud performance really fell off sharply with them. I only got about 40-45k out of them too on the Cummins, but I guess that's not awful on an 8,000lb truck with some occasional heavy towing. I ended up going with the Falken's, and I couldn't be happier with them! I've been so impressed with the snow performance, that it's almost like a dedicated set of winter tires. Of course, I only have about 15k on them now, but I haven't noticed any appreciable difference in the performance over that time. As far as road noise goes, off-roadability, comfort and treadwear, that's also been quite impressive. At 15k, you'd barely be able to tell there's any wear on them. I'm not sure where they rank for price now, but when I bought them, they were a little bit cheaper than the KO2's too. Overall, I couldn't be happier with them, and I'll most likely buy them again when it's time to replace them (hopefully around 60K or so). 🤣.. I've recommended them to a bunch of friends when they've been looking for tires too, and everyone that's purchased them has been very satisfied with their purchase. I know we all get caught up in our camps of our favorite tires and brand loyalty, but if you're on the fence with these tires, just go ahead and purchase them. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all!.. And truly, if you're doing hard off-roading/crawling anyway, an AT really isn't even a consideration. But for regular daily driving and occasional trips into the backcountry, people should really give this one a try! I can't attest to the Yoko's, but you really can't go wrong with the KO2 or the Wildpeaks. The Wildpeaks definitely do take the top spot in nearly every category though from real-world usage!
Howdy! May I ask your opinion on which tire (between the Falkens and the KO2’s) was better in the rain/snow on the road?
Been running BFGs for years. Went to the KO2 when they came out ams they just make a good all around tire.
I don’t have a dedicated on road or off road vehicle, so these cover the bases pretty well.
I use them on my 4wd 2500 Silverado diesel, my 1993 full size blazer and 93 jeep.
All go off road some and on road some, all do well.
As mentioned, gumbo mud is a no go for the most part, but some mud, sand rocks etc they do well.
Yes I get stuck sometimes, but not often, I’m not “ extreme”. Hunting, fishing and camping mostly, as well as pulling a travel trailer.
Some of the other MAY be better, but for my money why try when what I have works.
Fantastic vid on the EXACT 3 I’m needing to decide on. We saw some Geolandars on a vehicle the other day and they pretty much had me sold THEN..
Great test, one of few US tests that seem to concentrate on terrain other than rock and gravel, very helpful. I’ve tried most of the popular ATs and as I live in Scotland, #1 is I need wet performance and performance at freezing. I’ve found the Falkens to be best for my needs (except deep mud) and far better than the BFGs. Thanks for pointing out that it’s matching the users needs, not brand that’s most important.👍
People love to fall in love with brand names... and then they aren't objective. When you lose those attachments you can really start dialing in your gear for sure.
First thing to do when a truck comes with BFGs is to replace them.
I’ve had good experiences with Cooper Zeon LTZ (now discontinued) on my D4 and Discoverer AT3 sport on a Ford Ranger.
Considering Maxxis Wormdrive or Cooper Evolution MT for my farm pick up (Navarro NP300)
Also in Scotland
@@spikef3813 Maxxis wormdrive or bravo at980 is pretty decent at mud in my case which is logging road that can have up to 15 inch of mud and clay after rain but the only downside is the tyre can have some small cracks at the sidewall. the sidewall cracks is probably caused by its only 8-ply rating but I think if you carry load under 800kg its probably good for you because I always carry 900kgs sometimes up to 1.2 tons of load which is probably the cause of the sidewall cracks.
Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT are now my go to tire for All Terrians. Still run BFG K02's on 2 of my rigs but will be switching to MT Baja Boss AT 100% after im tired of them.
Great information if I was looking for all terrain tires. I have all season tires on my Toyota Highlander AWD and had no problem in snow that was a foot and a half deep I live in New England so it's a crap shoot if it's going to be a mild winter or blizzards every other week. I park in a lot that doesn't get plowed so you're pretty much on your own when it comes to getting out of it. I used to put Toyo Open Country all terrain tires another one for consideration on all my true 4wd vehicles, they were quiet on pavement and they performed really well in snow too. Thank you for the information it's good for people to learn about all terrain tires and what the specs are for them.
Awesome video and appreciate the comparison, as well as the compelling argument of what works for you. Haven't had any BFgoodrich or Yokohama tires. Always typically bought cooper's for their price point and balance. I typically drive a lot of snow covered and ice covered roads out in good'ol North Dakota, haha. The Falken wildpeak at3w is in fact an awesome tire. Thank you for validating this and will seek them for my current needs.
In the next two weeks I have a Round 2 All Terrain Tire coming out... watch for that one... been beating up several more tires that will be covered... some good some bad
General Grabber ATX are really underrated feel like all the tires are mentioned are the Hyped up tires in the game.
I agree, I have BFG KO2's on my jeep; but went with General Grabber ATX's on my truck which does more pavement but pulls an off road trailer on moderate trails with ease - I'd would have put them on my trailer but General phased out that size
Let's leave them as the best kept secret. Don't want to pay more for a superior tire.
@@brentanderson1549 you’re right.
Had a set of BFG K02s and they performed below average, so noisy and wore out quickly, had a set of Cooper AT3 and they where ok but developed cupping way to easily and had to be rotated excessively. Currently at 40k miles on my General Grabber ATX and they have performed really well in multiple situations. I have towed and done a lot of offroading, including lots of sloppy deep snow, deep sand, mud and rough rocky terrains and performed great in all situations. Also plenty of highway driving towing my 4k pound trailer. Still performing well, but at about 35k, road noise got considerably more significant. Treadware and performance are still going strong, though.
Great video Nathan! I'd be interested in a future video that involves the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in your comparison of A/T tires.
I run Baja on my ram and love'em very comparable to K02, which I run on my frontier
Awesome video Nathan! Great comparison I may have to consider the Yoko's next time around. Thanks for sharing!
If you are in the mud a lot they are definitely an interesting option.
Thanks for the information, I really appreciate an unbiased assessment of these tires.

I have wild peaks, and I have to say they are incredible. Quiet as a passenger tire on a car, amazing in the rain, and have yet to get stuck in the mud. Haven’t had them in the snow yet, but from what I’ve seen and heard, there won’t be any problems there either. Will be getting them again when I need new.

I’ve ran them on a snowy trail (6inch) didn’t get stuck but it was also a service trail. Driven them on snowy/icey highways and also no problem, the only thing I know is I can’t suddenly turn or break in them.
@@victorsaenz9452 “suddenly” doesn’t typically go to well in snow no matter what tires are running.
I have loved my AT3s on my f150. The weight does hurt my mpg but I'm currently at 70k miles and still have lots of tread. This will be the first set of tires I've ever owned that will be replaced due to age and not worn out tread.
typical of sumitomo tires. especially 10 ply on a 1/2 ton
@@jacobmora2977 He didn't say whether they're LT or P-metric rated. The Wildpeaks come in both. He also said AT3 not AT3W so he could be referencing the Toyo Open Country AT3 which also comes in LT and P-metric ratings.
@@pacman1789 the title of the video specifies 3 tires and Toyo isn’t in there. In the sizes he’s likely running and for his specific application usage it’s very likely he’s using 6 or 10ply tires.
@@jacobmora2977 He didn't say what size he's running or his application usage though. I have an F-150 and I just ordered a set in 275/60r20, one size up, and I got them in the 115T because I didn't want the LT size on a 1/2 ton. I don't need the added weight and stiffness right now. More than likely he probably got it in an LT if he's complaining about the weight though.
@@pacman1789 almost every size that’s plus size from any full size pickup stock tire size is available in a 10ply. I recommend them because of higher stability, taller tread that usually wear really really well, and in any capacity for towing, off road or otherwise non standard freeway driving
I wish I had this video when looking for tires for my avalanche. I may have gone with the Wildpeak. I had a KO2 on my Dakota previously and loved them and thought they were good in the snow, but I wanted something more snow oriented. I wound up going with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S. They are actually really good in the snow though and I’m not disappointed.
Good content and explanations. Been using the BFGoodrich Radial T/A All Season Car Tire for Passenger Cars, (P235/70R15 102S) for my 2001 Chevy Blazer for roughly 15+ years. Was super disappointed that I couldn't find them from my local dealer here in The Bahamas during the pandemic. I was aiming for a more aggressive look in my tire's size. so I ordered the Yokohama P235/70R15 102T GEOLANDAR A/T G015 OWL A/S. So far, I'm pleased.
I recently bought a 2023 4Runner Limited so when I need to replace my stock tires I'll definitely be looking at the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac, Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus, Falken Wildpeak A/T3W, Terra Hunter X/T, Nitto Ridge Grappler, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T or BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2s.
I live in Buffalo NY. The wild peaks are extremely good in the snow, especially snow covered paved roads. Very close to a dedicated snow tire. Deep snow traction is pretty good too. After 5 ft of snow in November and a blizzard in December the falkens were really put to the test
I trust people in Buffalo when they talk about snow tires 😳.... It's like taking advice about warm clothes from Eskimos... They probably know.
They are good in snow until half tread or less
@@reidcar4 mine have been fine until about 1/4 left
@@reidcar4 What tires get better at half tread?
We had record snowfall this winter in SLC (this week's storm - which began April 3rd and lasted til yesterday included) and had the stock Wranglers on my Tacoma for the first half of winter and experienced slippage on poor, cold, icy days. Moved to the Wildpeaks in Jan and after enduring even more snow, these puppies flourished. Same roads, same condish, new treads and experienced the difference. Great snowboarding days to be had at Powder Mtn, Snowbasin, Snowbird and Brighton no matter what was going on in the sky... Great tires for SLC winters!
During the years in my RAM I have used KO2's, Discoverer AT3's and Geolandars, now I'm using Kenda Klever R/T and after one year of off-road trips I can say they are the best of the bunch for me, also they are very smooth on pavement.
I’m running the at2’s on my f150 and love them
My truck still has the factory tires. This video has been a big help deciding what I want for an all terrain tire.
Awesome - the whole point isn't to seel a particular tire but to just try and help people pick the right tire for you.
I run Pizza cutter wild peaks on my FJ and I’ve had nothing but great results and the tread is still looking extremely well after 1 and half years. I know the other tires are amazing but I’ll continue with falkens
I added Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's to my 2020 Trail Boss. Aggressive, but quiet on the highway. Great tire.

I have absolutely loved my wildpeak at3s. Have put hundreds of thousands of miles on them. Have had them on ram 1500, Tacoma, ram 3500, been in every condition and have had zero complaints
They are a solid tire.
I had a set of AT3Ws when they first came out. I was thoroughly impressed. Great on wet pavement. Fantastic wear. And found myself in a fresh customer during a rain storm down here in Louisiana... they did not let me down. Pretty true to size. Not all that expensive (at the time). Only downside I found was the weight. And I'm pretty much a Toyo guy.

I had the k02 over 60k miles and plenty of thread left great tire but picked up a lot of rocks, on my other truck I’m running toyos at2 extreme great tire too.
Awesome research and simple to understand. I am using Falkens simply because it provides me the best value for money (for my market, BGFs are so pricey and Geolandar is not commonly sold).

Very complete and accurate AT tire report. I have KO-2’s and your review is spot on.
Falken Wildpeak At3/w are my top choice, they are amazing.
I’ve ran multiple tires in the past few years on various vehicles. Toyo A/T II, Goodyear wrangler duractrac, general grabber x3, falken wildpeak at3/w and had some experience with others.
The wild peaks and duratracs have been my favorite by far, they last forever, arnt too loud, veryyyy good on ice and snowy roads & great on & off road. Wildpeak are my choice typically since the Goodyears are more expensive
Tell me what you think about this video... several of the tires you had are in it... did I get them right? th-cam.com/video/MYwexVQiHvI/w-d-xo.html
I have a 2010 lifted Sequoia running 35's and love the AT3W's. I came from Nitto Exo Grapplers (which were actually a pretty awesome tire that lasted 75,000 Miles with 7/32nds left) and also KO2's. This TH-camr is spot on with his analysis. I live in the Pacific Northwest so good wet and snow tires are a must. I also tow a 7k lbs RV and drive a lot of deep mud Forest Service Roads while fishing. Both the AT3W's and KO2's aren't great at deep mud and u need to be careful not to get stuck if you don't have a winch. But otherwise, the AT3W's are outperforming the KO2's and on track to beat them on longevity by a lot. Also, I can confirm that I have had a Falken Rep a couple years back confirm the high turn ups in the side wall making it 4 ply which is actually thicker than 3 ply on other tires including Ko2. The part that is 2 ply is heavily protected by the large side lugs so you're really only at risk on a very small amount of side wall. I can also confirm that these are not squishy tires in the slightest. When towing I'm completing solid. I felt more squishy in the KO2's than these. Both my brother and I have had KO2's and the life isn't nearly as good as it wears faster and you start with far less tread depth. If anyone wants to hear more about the Exo Grapplers let me know. They performed similar in mud, great in rain, slightly less effective in snow even though they have 3Peak Snowflake, super solid for towing, 3 ply sidewall, has the best look in my opinion, and outlast any other AT that I know of. The reason I switched to AT3W's is the increased snow performance which is critical for me.
what was your mpg difference between the k02s and at3ws?
I'm looking to get a 35 12.50 r17 A/T tire here soon and I'm torn between the ko2s and the exo grapplers, im coming from 33" Michelin at4s and want a more aggressive tire look. Most of my driving is on the highway, i occasionally see some mud or deep sand. but nothing the at4s cant handle so far. Which ones are going to ride smoothest on the highway and aren't super loud. I do tow usually about 6k lbs but i do rarely tow up to 25k
@@jleehomiefromtheway significant. I went with the 12ply AT3W's which are even heavier.
@@freddydavila9031 I'd say they are both super smooth. Both quiet, maybe Grapplers a tiny bit louder but so close I'm not even sure about that. Towing wise, Grapplers are twice as good. KO2's are a little squishy in my opinion and that's a bad thing when towing. Wet I'd give it to grapplers as well. Snow, KO2's are better. Looks, Grapplers.
@@sonsoffishes1 I think you sold me on the grapplers, as i almost never see snow, I don't want super loud tires but i have fully sound deadened my truck and have a full sound system so i shouldn't ever hear it. Im really only ever going to see wet conditions and towing with these tires. plus im going for looks
This is simply a very honest and thorough review! Appreciated, thank you!!
I am working on Round 2… should be out soon
Excellent comparison and review. Tia!
Thanks for watching… hope it was helpful.
I wish you would have covered road wear and noise a little bit more. I think the majority of us spend a lot more time on the road than we do on the trail, but it was a great review. I actually spend very little time on the trail, so my bigger concern is road noise & driving in wet conditions.
Sharp rocks out in the desert eat up tires . Puncture wounds on the sidewall were a problem until I bought 4 BF Goodrich KO 2 tires . No more chunking . Thick sidewalks help .
Great video! I appreciate you breaking down what tire is better at what terrain.

Pretty much spot on with my experience with the BFGs and Wildpeaks. BFGs sucked on my pickup when driving on wet twisty roads. The BFGs on our Jeep seem to do a little better in the wet but maybe its in my head. Off-road they are really good except in sticky mud as you said. The Wildpeaks are dramatically better in wet and onroad snow conditions and after 55k miles I still have 8/16 tread on a HD Ram that pulls our fifth wheel. Off-road I think the Wildpeaks are the same as the BFGs. Now for the Yokohamas, although it was around 8 years ago the Geolanders were the only set of tires I have had to return. Two of the sidewalls developed knots the size of baseballs. That's how I ended up with my first set of BFGs.
….THAT happened with 2 SETS of NITTOS..and I had a LOT of tread left yet. Burnt me bad..
I used to be a Bfg at fan back in the late 90's & early 2k. Something changed, they are louder now and the tread depth isn't there anymore. A few years ago I went with these and wasn't impressed at all. They were loud, didn't balance, shallow tread depth & threw rocks more. I sold them and went with Firestone destination xt and LOVE them! I've owned them on my previous 2021 Ranger 33's. Now my 2022 F-150 in 34's. They are amazing on the road and in the snow & Ice! They're quite a bit lighter than the others too.
When it came time to replace the tires on my Wrangler I wanted the Wild Peaks. However, at the time there was a shortage. Ended up with the General ATX and so glad I did. Best snow AT tire I've ever owned. This past winter I never needed 4WD, completely unreal to me. Blows away the former BFG KO2 I had previously had.
I had a set of grabber AT2 and put 107k miles on them and performed just as well as bfg . Now im rocking ATX’s. I live in Florida down here we got sand, mud, rain. They work extremely well.
I’m a Grabber ATX fan for life. I swear by them. I live in CT up in the mountains so I get a lot of snow every winter. Have them on both my 4Runner and my XJ. Never left me stuck anywhere in the snow.
General makes amazing winter tires. I had to drive to Northern B.C. in a blizzard a few years back so I bought a set for the family Chevy Malibu and I was flying all the way up there. Almost every other car that had made it up that week had studded rubber. Their traction and handling was definitely something to write home about. I currently run Goodyear Duratracs on my 4runner and I can vouch for them as well in icy/snowy conditions, plus they'll do pretty good on the rocks and in the mud.
Just wait till you get a chance to try the WildPeaks.
@@bryanbahling2877 How are those off-road? How do they compare to the rest of the line up when in mud or on the rocks say. I've never used them but they look like a serious winter tire.
Great chat. I've gone through a couple of sets of K02s and have not been happy with the performance. Not only did they not last as long as they should have, they had poor grip on the road, and I had a fault with the sidewall where bits started falling off. I'm looking at Falken Wildpeak's for my next tyres.
This is good advice :-) I used to run KO2's on my pickup because of awesomeness off road, but I spend 80% of my time on the highway. The KO2 picked up a lot of rocks, costing me about 5 windshields. They were also pretty hard in the compound, causing me to broadside in and out of roundabouts when it rained. I had to face that I was not such a bad ass off roader as I wanted to be, and I mounted some Bridgestone A/T's. Not nearly as aggressive looking and long lasting, but much better on wet roads :-)
Best tire review I've watched. Great job!
Working on Round 2 right now… trying to get it done for this Sunday
@OutdoorAuto didn't expect a reply! I'll definitely check it out. Will also subscribe. Having a wife and 2 small children, I find it very important to run the safest tire on our vehicles. I watch a lot of reviews. I am very impressed with the way you break down different characteristics of the tires and the importance of matching those characteristics to your own needs. I live on Gravel and have found it very difficult to find a review detailing how well tires eject rocks. Going from gravel to the highway for work each day, I feel sorry for anyone rolling up behind me immediately getting up to speed. We live in northwest Missouri and travel often to Minnesota for family. I need a tire that handles winter/ snow well. After watching your review, I like the Wildpeak AT. I'm excited to see your next video!
Great video going into the details!
BF Goodrich KO2's have wone over here in Wisconsin's harsh climate. I bought my Ford F-150 STX sport with approximately 45000 MI and put the KO2's on. I'm currently at about 115,000 MI and they look to have at least another 10 to 15,000 miles left on them. I hunt in some ridiculous north woods land that can have a foot of snow covering another 8" of mud, and have NEVER had any issues. I cannot wait for my next set, TAKE MY MONEY BF GOODRICH!!
Howdy! How are they in the rain on the road?
@@TheEleaticOne great, just got a new set!
@@Ben-xo3bjawesome! Thanks for the advice!
I run 255/80r17 toyo open country AT3s on my wrangler unltd rubicon. Absolutely love the performance and ride on and off road. Almost identical to the wildpeak.
255/80R ? Okay, I guess you get the height/clearance without the extra weight with that setup. That's worth consideration !
How did those tires perform in mud? I know it's an AT to stay there above, below or around the average?
@@wynnfamilyfishing1519 almost as good as my old KMs, better than average iow, ride quality and noise levels very acceptable. I don’t intentionally get in a lot of mud but i have pulled my fishing boat up wet grassy hills and pull a trailer with ATV when hunting off road.
BF Goodrich is my absolute favorite tire. I’ve had them on my truck for the last 5 years and I have not 1 complaint.
I have used Wildpeaks on my z71 for a few years and just got some Blizzaks last winter for a dedicated snow tire. While the Blizzaks are definitely better in snow and icy conditions, the performance is surprisingly close.
The Wildpeaks really surprised me 2 winters ago when we had waist deep snow on the roads, I was the only truck on the block able to escape the driveway and make it down the road before the plows eventually showed up. Had to put my foot to the floor to even budge but it kept crawling even up a slight hill, and that's when they were about 5/32 of tread left. My neighbors were amazed that I just hopped in and went with the 5.3 screaming while they were stuck shoveling out their trucks!
How close to Blizzaks would you say the WIldpeaks are? 80%
@@wolfeadventures If Blizzaks are 100% I'd say the Wildpeaks are 90% and good all seasons are 20-30% if all are new.
The Wildpeaks lost a lot of winter performance after the first quarter of tread wore down, I'd guess 70% at that point vs new Blizzaks. But even with 5/32 they would destroy a brand new all season easily in snow/ice.

Have the Wildpeaks on my Cherokee, absolutely love them and cannot recommend them enough. I was lucky enough to purchase them when they first entered the market so I got a screaming deal on them, under $90 per tire.
Oh wow... yeah... that was a great deal!
Dude yes I was able to do the same. Got all 4 and balanced for like 550 30in tires
@@michaelb2226 I looked the other day to get a set for a wj and I was shocked at how pricey they got
@@drechsla same. Ive seen them going for more than double of what I paid. I originally got them for my zj but I put a set of snowflake wheels on that are an inch bigger in diameter. Now need to get some fresh tires. It's currently sitting on some old matching tires and put the at3's on my blazer. I love how aggressive and rugged they look. I think they were originally $86 but with taxes and an extended warranty it came out to nearly 550. This was from Walmart
I've got a 2015 cherokee. I use the Yokohama's both for ATT, to my snows. Love them! Plus the durability
Good video. I do run the Falken Wildpeaks on my Chevy Colorado and my wife's Gladiator. Falken also makes a Wildpeak very similar to the Wildpeak you reviewed on my Subaru Crosstrek. That allows me to run a stock size tire on my Crosstrek and have AT type tread and performance. For me the Falken Wildpeaks are a good all around choice for me. I have also run the BFGs on my truck many years ago (pre KO2). My complaint about the old BFGs was the treadwear was not that great. As you closed, there are many tires out there for your off road/overland rig. You have to pick what works for your overall driving situation.
Great Video! Your dead on your review of the Falken's which is why I went with them about 56,000 miles ago. Will replace them this spring with another set!
I have been supe4 happy with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT.
Wild peak is all I run. Just had a new set installed on wife’s truck with new rims. Best tire I have ever used in snow. I’ve used bfg and the grabbers and I’ll go back to the wild peak every time now.
i own a set of the BFG KO2s on my 4runner and i can confirm they have balancing issues. I had to pay big bucks to force balance them due to their excessive steering vibration. I wished i would have known about this otherwise i would have bought something else.
This is a very good video Nate. Taking notes here...really good info.
Hopefully it was helpful... Thanks for watching.
I love north of Syracuse NY in the tug hill. I love the Cooper discoverer STT. Great off road, snow, and wet roads
They're a bit noisy but I actually like the tire hum.
I own all three tire types. Everything you are saying is very true. I hate my Yokohama's in the snow. The BFG's are the best in snow and ice.
A Half worn Yoko is flat out scary in the snow... we got stuck in a bit of a blizzard heading over the pass to Cedar City, Utah with worn Yoko's... and had to take it VERY slow.
I am driving with the Falken Wildpeak. Works well in both urban and offroad (desert) settings. As long as you rotate your tires and keep the front end aligned they will last you beyond the 50K rated lifespan.

I killed a set in less then 1 year, around 20k miles. They suck. I will never buy them again.
Mine lasted 30k miles and would never balance
33,000 miles for mine won't buy again
@@jeeves744 lol how did you manage that? improper weight rating or bad suspension?
Good review.
I know it's not an All terrain, but I mention this tire because I bought it instead of an all terrain, but the Milestar Patagonia M/T. They're cheap, quiet on road, great off road, and have a 50K warranty. They're probably bad on ice though. Just a guess since I live in SC and never see ice.
Always been a K02 guy, then a M/T Baja Boss AT guy after I tried them, but I have ran a set of Wildpeak at3w tires for a while now and WOW! They are sooooo good! Best tires I've ever owned and can't see myself ever going back. They handle amazing in snow and rain and they do great here in the extra chunky, rocky and sandy Southern California High and Mojave deserts(Calico, Cleghorn, etc.) Best AT's ever! Always hated the K02's in the rain, SCARY! The Bajas are good too, but don't like the sluggish handling, they're really heavy and they just don't handle as good as the Wildpeaks in the snow. They're on par with the Wildpeaks when off road and do ok in the rain, definitely better than the K02's! Wildpeaks are the total package and they're great as a daily as well. Good luck yo! 🤙🏽
I am in SoCal as well and was going back and forth between the Wildpeak AT3W and the Yoko X-AT and the M/T Baja Boss, for a Gx470 in a 285/70/17, what vehicle are you using the Wildpeak on? Your review hit the nail on the head for what i was looking for a tire, thanks man!!
@@broken4door Yo! Sorry for the late reply. I'm using them on my 3rd gen Taco. Use them pretty regularly. Just did Rattlesnake Canyon at Johnson Valley all the way up to Big Bear(took us 5 and a half hours to complete it including stopping to sight see a few times and grilling some food as well, so can be faster) and they handled all sections well, including the big ol boulders, hit my rock sliders pretty good more than a few times. Was raining at mid and top end of trail(2N02) and they handled it all well! Aired up and drove home an hour away from Big Bear after and it was all good! 👍🏽🤙🏽🤟🏽 I highly recommend these tires not just for overlanding and offroading, but as a daily driver, like my truck at least 2-3 days out of the week. You'll love them.
did you get the 6ply or the 10? They are both LT. and very heavy.
@@patriotsleepercell4060 I got the E rated wildpeaks. On their website it says "10 ply equivalent". Hope that helps. Yes, they're definitely heavier than a 6 or 4 ply tire, but not by much. I went with some 265/75R16's and they're only 11 pounds heavier per tire than the regular SL rated wildpeaks. Compared to the stock tires the truck came with, I can't really tell a difference in MPG's if you care about that 🤷🏾♂️. I was getting around 22-24 miles highway. Still the same. Now, I will say though, they are stiffer riding than the stock tires(nothing crazy), which I already knew before even buying them, being E rated and all. Acceleration feels good, the same as stock. I also have to mention that I run them at around 37 psi, so take it for what it's worth, if at all to you. The E rating really shines when I'm off roading. These little 32's are no joke and they can take a serious pounding, especially when I'm aired down to between 12-16 psi. Have not failed me yet and I am definitely happy. Will be throwing some 35s on her this year. Might go with something else, but not sure yet. I'll be swapping the stock suspension for a sick King setup with upper and lower CA's and the works. 🤘🏽
I’m 49 and always owned a 4x4 truck or Jeep since I started driving at 16. I’ve always put BFG’s “K02’s” on all of them…the tires do great in every condition.
They are a legend for a reason... Baja is a great test ground if you want to develop a durable tire.
Same! Since 1979
In the desert SW, there is no substitute. If you get a flat out there in summer, it could permanently end your adventure. Make sure it’s the “E” rated 10 ply sidewall😀🇺🇸
I love KO2’s but they are horrible in the rain. Other then that they do good in mud and snow
You don’t like 4x2?
Awesome video, amazingly edited
Nice vid! I run the K02s on my long travel SUV off-roader for desert/trail stuff….and Yoke Geolander ATs non X on the fam GX and Cummins, and they do quite well in the winter/snow/ice here. Each has their forte and neither tire has given me an ounce of issue.

I live in rural Colorado mountains from working and commuting on dirt logging roads to paved roads, I have never had success with BGF ko2 or dura trac Every set those I've had and seen in other trucks up here have massive uneven wear problems and tread dont clean/ clear out, and they wear out way too fast. Let alone suck mpg.
My personal choice is Michelin at2, after multiple sets that long out last bfg and dura trac. Thr michelin get even wear and my mpg doesn't suffer and do well on logging roads in winter and still very good on pavement and in rain or ice.
Should have also mentioned the Nokian AT - have a set of those and did a 300 mile off-road trip last October - they replaced a set of WildPeaks for two reasons - 1. they are significantly lighter (~10lbs per tire) 2. they have a full kevlar reinforcement, which was important as they there were lots of sharp rocks on this trip and no room for a spare.... Plus they are a lot cheaper and way better on highway.
Out of Production.
Were these the Nokian Outposts? I'm looking hard at those for my next set because of the light weight, kevlar, and great price for a quality brand. I haven't seen a lot of people talking about them though. How is there off-road performance?
@@wynnfamilyfishing1519 Cause they were made in Russia, so they stopped making them when the war started.
Tires Direct still has them and when I spoke to the rep he didn't say anything about limited stock or production issues. I was just trying to figure out how @ckm4535 felt they worked in muddy conditions.
@@wynnfamilyfishing1519 and I wrote why you don't see people writing about them.
Man, I'm from Texas and I'll be truck camping and skiing in Colorado this season and this video most likely just sold me on the Falken AT3W's. Not too familiar with driving in snow so I want the best I can get. Nitto grapplers that came on my truck were needing to be replsced soon anyways. Awesome review!
Thanks for the great thorough review!
Thanks for watching.
I run 255/80r17 Wildpeaks on my 2018 Pro 4x in load E. . I like that they're taller & lighter than 285's. MPG & acceleration are great, and it's a true 33" tire. I looked at K02's in 285 load C, but their reputation for being horrible on wet pavement scared me away. the K02's are probably fine if you live in more arid western states.
Man, the KO2'S stink in snow and wet weather !
Great video! Actual tire performance test and not just listing factory specs. Had the General Grabber ATx on my 4Runner (similar tread to KO2's). Ok, decent performance. Replaced them with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's. (Sort of a more agressive version of Wildpeaks). They have been great! Good snow performance, way better in mud and reasonably quiet. Would be interested in your opinion, have you tried them?
They are going on my white Tundra as soon as I kill these Yokohamas… pretty excited to test them… Mickey Thompson always made stellar MTs…. Definitely a great looking tire.
I have Falken WidePeak on my 2017 Ram 1500…they are great tires. Quiet, excellent performance on wet, snow-covered, and icy pavement. Plus, I only lost about 1 MPG in fuel economy. Still get 19 MPG Hwy.
Great video, I'm shopping for new AT tyres very soon here in the UK for a Subaru Outback. I always thought that the Wildpeaks were lighter than the K02, so this has threw a curve ball at me now. Actually I need to edit this as I just looked up the Wildpeaks and noticed that in Europe the Wildpeak is called the A/T AT3WA and the tread pattern looks very much like the A/T Trail.

I find mud terrain tires to be the best. The Cooper STT pros, Yokohama G003, Falken MT, BFG KM3, Mickey Thompson MT is good enough for daily or even pavement. I had plenty of tread left after 30k miles on my cooper stt, bfg km2 and my yokohama g003. As far as snow and all around performance the Yokohama G003 might be the best ive had on a truck.
I run the cooper STT pros on my power wagon here in Montana. Winter comes around and I switch to the cooper evolution since they're stud ready. All terrain doesn't work for me, especially in the snow and ice. I couldn't be happier with my STT pros though. They outperform any brand of tire I've run. They're even fine in winter but I had the evolutions prior to the STT so no point in wearing them out when I've got my winter set already. I switched from the Goodyear duratracs. Sorry but those tires are crap unless on dry pavement. BFG's were good where I used to live but lack in offload/offhiggway performance here.
@@maddawgnoll I’m definitely going back to Cooper STT Pros! My 75 K5 came with BFG KO2 but i want to get rid of them already lol. But however I’m really tempted on trying the the Falken Wildpeak MT.
I went with the Nitto Ridge Grappler for my Bronco based on a ton of reviews. Would love to see that tire involved in a test. They have been fantastic in all sorts of conditions.
yee same goes for the toyo at3
They suck on ice. I swapped my Nittos for KO2s living in Michigan's upper peninsula I kinda need good grip in winter.
@@JohnReyst That's odd. LiteBrite used the Nitto's on their artic expedition and had zero issues on ice and -20 degrees
@rugu6869 hard to beleive. They are hard as a rock. They are terrible in anything but dry pavement. Ok for the trail. Had 80,000km on mine and they had 70% tread left.
@@michaelsteven8281 heck I agree. Those tires are only good on dry pavement. Big disappointment for me and I see so many trucks running them.
I was and still am building my truck up, if something is damaged or about to break i do an upgrade.
A few months back my suspension and tires had a catastrophic failure and upgraded them, i was going to get k02 but with some help i tested other tires and found that another tire, (I blieve the km3), performed better in rain, I was close to getting them until i found the falken tires, they performed incredible. I got the falken tires and still love them.
