AT Tire Comparison Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs Toyo Open Country ATII vs Falken Wildpeak AT3W
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- This is a quick comparison test I did on the Nitto Terra Grappler G2, Toyo Open Country AT2. and Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I would say that out of these three tires, I think the Toyo is the best. That being said, I saw that the new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is coming with Falken tires from the factory. Let me know what you think in the comments below. Hit that subscribe button.

“The Falken Wildpeak is very popular, people swear by them, they look cool, the sipping is done well for winter driving, they’re very affordable and I hate them” - This Guy
Lol
Falken Wildpeaks are the price/performance leader at this point - hands down. Great dirt and snow traction, quiet road performance, 55K tread warranty, aggressive styling. What is not to like? It seems that the reviewer simply has a personal preference for Toyo or Nitto, rather than providing any real evidence that the Falkens should be avoided.
100% Subjective opinion on my part.
Falkens are not cheap anymore. Theyre on par with Grabbers and BFG in price.
@@JT-gm4fk they are the most expensive
I HAVE A 2014 F150 4X4, BOUGHT FALKEN WILDPEAK TIRES ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. THEY HAVENT WORN DOWN A BIT! LOVE THESE TIRES!! VERY GOOD IN RAIN, DECENT OFF ROAD, AND THEY CLEAN OUT WELL. ONE OF THE BEST TIRES IVE OWNED!
Cool, Thank you for the feedback!
I agree 100% Wildpeaks have earned a lot of respect lately
I just purchased a 2019 Toyota TRD Pro. OEM tires were Nitto P rated RGs. Afte three days, I purchased Falken LT rated AT3Ws. I do not notice any difference in road noise, at any speed, up to 75mph. No issues with balancing. This is my second vehicle with the Falken AT3Ws in both a P rated tire on a 2015 Jeep GC, and now the TRD Pro. Love the tires.
I run the falken wildpeaks on my fj cruiser and I love them. I own k02, cooper and Toyo in the past but I will stick falken. The wildpeaks are monsters in the snow and rain.
I’m just at4 Wildpeaks on my GX460, they’re good.
Just got the Falkens.. made in USA ☺ and good price 265/70/17 all 4 installed $592 total
That's a heck of a deal! Especially for how good they are.
hickory guy , not bad at $150 each, installed, especially for 17s. I need 16s so hopefully I'll get a little better price OTD
@@timschutte8310hopefully so. check around. Prices near me ranged from that 592 up to 800 for my size.
Falken 265/70/17 on my 2019 TRD total installed $577
@@damnyankeerider5959 good deal. Love mine. Happy they are made in USA too
I decided on The Falken AT3W because I’ve heard good things of their performance in snow. Bring on the snow this winter ❄️
Sounds good. Thanks for watching.
Had Terra grapplers on my F150. Decent tread life but awful traction in wet or snowy conditions. Very impressed with Falken tires. Our whole fleet of F150s and F250s run Wildpeaks and they have been fantastic.
Nice. Thanks for the feedback!
I'm finding G2's break free so easily in rain. Not looking forward to snow. Need to switch.
You probably don't know how to drive in the snow like many many others and the 150 suck in the snow with any tire it's a ford . I have zero issues in 12 plus inches of snow over a dozen times a year with nitto terra grapplers on my wife's tundra and my ram 1500 . I work in a tire shop and they are hands down the best of this bunch but there are better tires also. name your price .
@bdanielcal4608 Well, I see you have nothing better to do than trash me from a comment I left two years ago. Live in Midwestern Wisconsin and have driven in plenty of shit conditions, and have never ended up in the ditch. I was directly comparing two different tires on identical trucks and reporting the differences I observed. The rubber compound of the falkens seems to stay more pliable at lower temperatures when compared to nittos.
I have the Faulkens on my truck and suv and I have no complaints they work great for everything I drive on and ai live in the country in northeast nebraska weather's always changing.
Awesome!
Just hit 55K miles on my first set of Toyo's Open Country - they are great and could go another 5K. I have been researching to decide what to go to next. I will be sticking with a second set on Toyo's Open Country.
Toyo’s were the best tire I ever ran on my Frontier they went great in the snow I got 60,000 out them and the ride noise isn’t that bad I really like them
I'm running the falken tires and love them!
I've had the Falken wild peak AT3W 245/65/17 on my 2004 jeep grand cherokee overland for 50k miles and absolutely love them,I rotate with every oil change (5k miles with mobile one synthetic)they are still within spec but ready to be replaced in next few thousand miles.i live in New Hampshire and iam a plow driver so iam always driving in worse possible snow conditions to get to my plow route to pick up my plow truck and they have always handled snow perfectly.i was always a BF Goodrich all-terrain TA fan but at the price of these at 111.00 a piece I had to give them a shot in would definitely recommend, I would give them 9 out of 10 only because of road noise but even that is not that bad.
I've got a limited of the same year and running the same size and love mine also. I live in Oklahoma and they have never let me get stuck in anything and I find them quiet. They look great and do the best in wet and snowy weather out of all the types i've ever had on it. I highly recommend them.
@@357sigshooter2,road noise is just highway but as I said not bad but noticable.
@@357sigshooter2 awesome name, my fav pistol caliber!
Thanks, mine as well. Right now I carry a 9mm but rounds running as fast and 124 grain, so it's still basically the same thing.
THANK YOU!!! solved my problem and got me off the fence!!
My pleasure!
Been running the Terra Grappler over the last 12 months and have been VERY happy. Living in the Rocky Mountains and being an avid outdoorsman I have thrown a lot at them and they haven't missed a beat. Just bought a new truck and looking at tires to make sure I don't miss anything. The Toyo certainly is intriguing as an option, plus the more aggressive look is a bonus for sure. That said, the performance on the Nitto has been amazing.
Glad to hear the performance has been amazing for you! I bet they have been run through the ringer out there.
When they start wearing they will be horrible in rain
I have Toyo Open Country AT2's on my 04 Tundra and I love them.
Awesome!
G ZAK Where do you live? I live in FL and just out together a lift/wheel/Zaire package with my local dealer and he recommends the Toyo ATII. Glad to hear you like them. I have a 2018 F-150. I really like the looks but don’t want to sacrifice too much in noise. Any other thoughts on the tire?
I too purchased Falkens and now consider them my tire of choice. The traction in snow and rain along with the ride quality combined with the fact they are not only a great looking tire, but one of the most affordable make it a no brainer to me.
Thanks for the feedback!
Falkens are the best tires I’ve ever had. I’ve used ko2s mostly and occasionally the Nitto ridge grapplers but the falkens are easily my favorite.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’m bout to switch to at3w from k02s
I agree, I prefer the Toto Open Country A/T II, great all-around tire on my Jeep Liberty. Only wish they offered their most aggressive tread on the metric sizes. Appreciate your reviews.
I was probably your first person (or close at least) to talk about how I love my Falkens, so I gotta say I challenge the statement of the Toyos being better in snow than the Falkens, which are Winter Rated--not just because I've tested mine here in Minnesota, but because Toyo came out with the AT2 AW in Canada (obviously a Winter Rated version of the AT 2), so even they know it needed an upgrade for better winter driving. Either way, thanks for being unbiased and reviewing a non-favorite tire of yours. A+ work!
Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.
Personally have owned all three tires & on different vehicles. Put them on my 2012 Trail Edition 4Runner & 2018 Tacoma Off-Road both vehicles are 4x4. Have driven them from Southern California through most of Northern Utah & in between. Driven all three in snow, sleet, rain, fast highway speeds in dry weather, fire dirt roads overlanding, heck even on the sand in Pismo Beach, California. All three did what they were supposed to do, BUT there's ONE, for me at least, that stood out the most & after over 150K of driving split between all three. I pick the Falken Wildpeaks. Simply bcuz it did everything the other two tires did, but at all star levels. It's was less noisy, better grip in snow, better performance in the rain, cornering in dry weather (won't say how fast I've taken them LOL) & as a bonus better MPGs. nothing wrong with the other brands. Just that the Falken Wildpeaks AT3 really passed the real life test with me.
Getting some wildpeaks put on my f150 later today
Great tires love them so far ..and Made in USA !
hickory guy They are made in Thailand.
I've had three sets of Toyos. One set of MT's and two sets of ATII's. Have gotten 70,000 plus miles out of each set. A bit pricey but great tires.
Awesome!
3 years later, I'm tire shopping and the nittos are the most affordable of these 3
I run falken. No noise with mine. No problem when wet
Are they quiet on highway?
Robin Sii yes running up to 85 nothing noticeable.
Thanks for the feedback!
I also have the falken on my ram 1500. I live in Wisconsin. Handles good in the snow n no noise on hwy even at 75mph!! I was worried beings they were cheaper then other brands and salesman didnt reccomend them but I totally recommend them to everyone
Thats what she said!
Interesting your opinion about Falken. Every review I've seen love the tire. In fact most comments I've seen like it better then KO2s from people who have had both.
That's because ko2s are one of the worst tyres from big brand . They are f garbage
Running the falkens in a 35x12.5r20. Super quite great on snow ice and rain.
Had Toyo and now nitto g2. Nitto by far for me. Quieter, decent off road, longevity have been outstanding. But I don't off road allot but pull a trailer quite a bit.
Awesome video. Thanks a lot. I’ll go with the Toyo open country ATIII. I am looking for quality and sound.
Cool
I just ordered my second set of Falkens! The first set handled fantastic in the Colorado snow!!! I got more than 55k miles on them but I made sure to rotate them with each oil change. They are very quite and handle greats in wet conditions! Love them!
Nice
No Falkin fan boy here..actually never even thought about them or considered them until you made your fan boy comment. I said WTH..let me try them. I drive about 30k per year and on these HD trucks its hard pressed to get 40kmiles out of any of them...and I have been following you for years and have tried almost every major manufacturer. I have had 3 different Toyos, 2 Nittos, 2 BFG KO2 and even 3 mud terrain. The Falking I have now has 32k miles and I will definitely get another 15k out of them. The only thing coming out is the KO3 and my previous experience on HD trucks have not been good, even though I have a set on my golf cart and Audi... Us fan boys stray (BFG) when a product is not up to par. For now the Falkens are the best all around, best wearing tire for a HD truck that I have found.
Like the video and info. Helps out when deciding on tires. I had to go with BFG ko2 just because they rule. Good looking tires though.
Thanks!
I'm on my second pair of Wild Peak At/3W. They are awesome in the snow and ice.
What
How is the tread life? Also what kinda vehicle? Looking to pick these up as my next set!
I had my first set on a 2500 Ram with a 5.7 hemi. I pulled them a 27 ft travel trailer and a atv on my truck deck. They wore really well, awesome in the snow and mud and I live in Canada. The weather is very challenging on everything. I use to run Good Year Duratracs. These tires perform about the same and that's really well. I stop buying the Duratracs as they got expensive and wore horrible. They scalloped horrible by 50 000 km. I use to get 100 000 km out of them. The Falkins didn't scallop and wore to 95 000 km. I have a new Ram 2500 5.7 and run 37 inch Cooper Pro SST for hunting season and trapping. Then I put on my Falkin 33 inch for fuel mileage. The Falkins actually better on ice a frozen snow then the Cooper Pro SST Pro. I'm always driving on gravel roads and deep snow. You will love these tires. I only buy the best stuff for my truck. I love my baby.
@@briggsjd2po thanks for the info! Thanks for helping my decision. I had 35in KO2s that would last 30k miles (48k km). They were horribly expensive. I just ran across the Falken's today and have seen nothing but great reviews.
Jason Briggs how many miles
I’ve put about 53k of highway and off road use on my falkens, guess what im about to purchase to replace them? Yep falkens, handle amazing in rain snow dirt. Super quiet and definitely the best looking of the three.
Right on!
Great review. I'm virtually on the fence between the Falken Wildpeak AT3W and the General Grabber ATX for my next tire choice on my 17' Taco TRD 4x4 Sport CCSB. I don't off road as much as I used to, but when I do, it helps to have a reliable tire that's able to handle the task.
Me too 👍🏽
Do the Grabber ATX
Christopher Mortlock Virtually on the fence; what does that even mean?
To do a tire comparison you can't be familiar with only 1 tire. Thinks that wildpeaks are cheap and only including because other people like them. Toyo has to be the best because I don't stock them, but they own nitto. If anyone's wondering what's on my truck? Wildpeaks, great tire good price!
.
I have had all 3 on my heavy Cummins powered Ram trucks and can be 100% justified in saying that the Falkens are the better tire. I have had them all in sand, snow, mud and through monsoon rain .. they all do really good. Where the Falken stands out is the quiet and stable ride along with the excellent tread life while towing heavy. This review was opinion based and not one based off actual use data. Nittos are to soft of a compound and the Toyos wear like they don't have a consistent belt layer in the carcass. My $$ is with the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws!
WeekendHOOKER I’ve only had the falkens but they were very quiet. Could barely hear them going down the road. My buddy had the nittos and they dry rotted after 2 years.
WeekendHOOKER , thanks for the honest info bro, so you say the Falkens are highway quiet ?? that's what I want. a good wearing, good compound tire that's very quiet on the road
@@timschutte8310 .. Yes Sir. I've had 285/70/17 and now have 315/70/17 and they are much quieter than the other two mentioned in this video.
Tim Schutte They are a little louder on concrete versus asphalt but either way you have to have your radio off to even hear them. I am getting them put onto my new truck tomorrow. I previously had them on my F1 50
I just got some Falken Wildpeaks at3w installed on my 2015 Tacoma Off Road 4x4. Only time will tell.
How are they doing?
@@CampusautoCo Love them! Great tires
I bought the falken tires 35x12.5x20, for my f150, I've got more than 50k miles on my tires. I've had Toyo tires and nito tires these have been louder than the falkens. I do alot of sand and highway driving and so far these have lasted me the longest. Rotate my tires every oil change . But I live way down south in texas dont know what kind of terrain you are driven in . But as for me in my opinion for the trails here these have been my go to tires. Other people my have there opinions about other brands . These are it for me
Thank you for your feedback.
AT3Ws have one MASSIVE advantage. You can say things like:" Look at them big Falken tires! Look at these Falken tires! Those are some big Falken tires!" Although as someone who knows tire compounds are one of the most important components, the high silica in the Falkens will make them superior in wet and slurpy conditions, and will also increase their wear life. They were only cheap for a time because they were the new kid on the block. They've become so popular now though (especially now that they scored the deal with Jeep), that the price has skyrocketed due to demand. You don't have to like them, or their aesthetic, but at this point they've gone toe to toe with the kings of the biz and won. They may very well be the most popular tire of a generation. Just like the Grand daddy BFGs did in the late 80's and 90's (and for those over 45, still to this day) and the Geolandars in the 2000's, The Toyo's in the 2010's..... They are magnifique*. To be honest, the last few years some mediocre brands have unleashed some awesome rubber. Hankook probably makes the best city boy A/T tire in the Dynapro, displacing the old guard Bridgestone REVOs. Kumho, yes, the same came with the Kia Kumho, now has three excellent Tires in the Road Venture series (AT51, MT51, MT71,) and who can forget the titans? The Wrangler Duratrac vs the Firestone Destination MT! If one or the other wasn't wrapped around some gaudy 24 inch rims on every other cocoa butter cowboy special cruising down the road, would we even know what to do with ourselves then?
Lol. This is awesome!
@@CampusautoCo Man you just got ripped a new asshole. Lol
Add my two cents. I've run two sets of Falken AT3W tires on a Jeep with V6, and RAM 1500 with 5.7L. Both superior to every other A/T tire I've ever personally owned/run, or experienced. Great offroad trails, dirt, gravel, smaller rocks; Great on dry and wet (vastly superior on wet) and quiet. Great handling. Did I say quiet? Wears well. All season rated; great for snow also. I will recommend to anyone for any rig; get the correct tire for your use and be happy. If you are doing a good bit of mudd'in or crawl'in than step up to a M/T; can't say the Falken M/T is better than some others. Never used them.
Thanks for the real world feedback!
Recently purchased a set of the Toyo's. Priced all the tires you show here and all so an equivalent Cooper tire. The Toyo's were only modestly more expensive and I like the look of them better so I went with them. They make a slight hum at hwy speeds but you have to listen for it so NBD. Certainly no yer, yer, yer going down the road. So far I like them very much.
Awesome!
I have the Falken AT3W on my Xterra in 33" and loved them so much got them for my Landcruiser. They're a hybrid AT/MT and have done great in nearly everything and imo beat out the KO2's I had previously.
Got my wild peak at 88,000 miles, now at 124,000. They’re a bit warned out but still a whole lot left going strong. Driven from salt lake to Southern California to visit fam, I’d say more than 10x’s now since I got the truck in 2019. Reading the other reviews, I don’t get about hearing the tires being loud, mines have never made the tire sounds from start and present, sound and feel normal. They’ve been good on dirt, snow and rain here in utah. Hold up good against nails too, I’ve had about 7 so far, patched up and hit the road!
Good to know. Thanks for the real world feedback!
Nice review. Toyo dominates the market here in the rainy, snow Pacific Northwest for a reason. With proper rotations they last very long as well.
I have heard that.
You’d have to get the Toyo A/T II-AW (obviously the winter-rated version) to complete with the winter-rated Falken. I live in Minnesota and we get more snow and ice than pretty much anyone and I can attest to their (Falken’s) winter abilities. I’d like to see a live comparison of both winter-rated tires, and wish Toyo sold that version here in the U.S and not just in Canada.
You guys would know more about snow than any one for sure! What I have noticed on both my 1/2 tons and 3/4 tons is the difference we not only get in wear with Toyos but in less tire noise when running them. That includes the Toyo M/T which gets used by many here. Also, most of my tires have been in the 35" size which may play a role as well. There are many nice/new lifted as well as stock trucks up here and one thing you will notice is that when these same people are feeling tight they buy General, Cooper, Falken, etc. but when they seem to be on top of their finances or back from Alaska, you see them running Toyos.
Sonny Mercado I agree; I wish the Toyo AT2-W was offered in the US.
@@thebeast9606 In ur opinion would Toyo III's (new) b same or better in strictly rain/ wet highway conditions?? Any suggestions. :))
I did a lot of reading and watching video reviews of AT tires. I ordered the at3w because they got very good reviews and are anywhere between $20-$100 cheaper than other at's. Even looked at the hankook dynapro which are cheaper but to many bad reviews about the sidewall coming apart.
Love the videos, keep them coming. Just one thing I think would help is giving all the benefits to them. Truck guys want to know if they are good for towing as well. Is there a warranty and what is the best bang for your buck. Also you should always mention what they are best in. Wet, snow etc. I have done my research but would love for you to do a video on the best all around towing truck tire. Wildpeaks keeps coming up and wanted to know your opinion. Thanks
I think that the G2 and the Falken would be better for towing. I have a 5th wheel RV myself and have had several truck and tire combinations. I had a 2015 Chevrolet 3500HD with a set of Continental Terrain Contact AT that did awesome. My current truck is a 2018 Ram HD with the OE Firestone Transforce AT which have been really good loaded up towing but lack in wet traction, ride quality, and I wouldn't dare drive them in the snow. Take a look at the General Grabber ATX and the Firestone XT as well.
I do around 1,000 miles a week on my AT3’s , all seasons in chicago and they are great
I have the falkens and I'm very happy with them so far.
Cool. How are they doing now?
Got the toyo at on the wife’s FJ they have done great ! Have a friend who has the falken at3’s he likes them on his z71.
Cool
I've had all 3 and it's the Falkens for me. For the money you can't beat them. They'll surprise you for sure.
are you talking about the P rated or the LT tyres, that also makes a difference on the tyres for off roading
I watch your every video. Can't wait for you Toyo open country at3 review. Toyo swear they are better than ko2, grabber atx and any other at.
Stay Tuned.
What would you recommend for a 2018 Titan XD that lives on 125 acres of sand and wetlands? I have stock general grabbers and I can barely make it up my driveway. I can't pull my livestock trailer around without digging in and getting stuck. Lt 265/60R20.
Try the BF Goodrich K02 or the Nitto Ridge Grappler.
Went with the Nitto Terra Grappler since Toyo AT 3s has been on backorder for literally months. Once they wear out Toyo AT 3s.
I had to choose the Continental Terrain Contact AT instead because of that massive back order.
I had Falken Wildpeaks on my 2016 ram 1500 4x4. I put them on at 41,000 miles I ran it 3 years and then traded it in. the mileage was 122,000 miles.... thats right 81,000 miles on those tires. Now I rotated them religiously every 4-5000 miles at Discount Tire where I bought them. Every time they pulled them they checked the pressure and balanced them. Oh so I wondered if the dealer put new tires on before they sold it.....nope I checked their website and blew up the picture and they were selling it with those same tires. So it still had tread enough to pass inspection. Buying my next set of Wildpeaks next week.
Good job.
Put 65k on my last set of Falken tires. Highly recommend
Thanks for the feedback.
Were you running the p-metric or LT? I'm wanting to pull the trigger on some just not sure about the p and Lt
The non LT tire is better in the wet it uses a silica compound. I have the Non-LT at3w and have had massive grip in the snow(13") and went up a small hill of ice with no problem. I've heard some complaints about the LT model not having as much grip in the snow and rain.
Also I went in loose sand and light mud no problem.
My only concern was off road with lots of rocks. I wasn't too concerned but I feel like the LT would of been better for that situation.
I’m in the market for new tires. Going back and forth between the Nitto ridge grapplers and the Falken AT3W. I do a lot of over landing type driving. I’ve never had the Toyo tires.
Get the Nitto.
Doesn’t like the Falken’s yet majority in the comment section that have run all three prefer the AT3W. Not sure what they have done to upset you in the past, but you truly need to stop being so close minded on the brand. They’ve started to become a very well known, high quality manufacturer that is really making a big impact in the market.
Meh
TRUMP2020 MY DUDE
Thank You 👍 this guy obviously has a grudge that some sort 🤔
Not wrong, his reply to anyone calling him out is "meh" got nothing else to say to people pointing out the obvious XD
What’s wrong with one guy sharing a different opinion than others? He’s not forcing anybody to buy the darn things? If you don’t like the show, change the channel.
Great channel. Thoughts on Toyo open country AT3 vs Cooper Discover AT3 for GX460. Size 265/65r17. Have TRD wheels if that helps. Thanks!
I’d probably get the Toyo. It’s pretty awesome.
Thanks for the info!
My pleasure!
In all my years driving, the most impressive tire I ever owned was a Toyo G2 Observe with microbit technology. You know the tire with nuts. I got 140,000 kms on them over 7 winters and still sold them when I sold the second X3 they were on. Amazing really. Expensive but great value. They defied logic. All three of these tires would be very good tires.
Awesome!
I’ve ran the Toyo’s, a set of BFG’s and currently running the Falken’s. I absolutely loved the toyos and the bfg’s. They are both fantastic AT tires. I was hesitant with the Falkens just because of the price point, but they honestly deliver the same results as the Toyos and BFG’s. Everyone has their own opinion and you really can’t go wrong with any of these AT tires. If you want to save some money go with Falken. If you don’t mind spending more money go with the Toyos. You can’t go wrong with either.
Plus Toyo has the new AT3 which is supposed to be much better.
Campus Automotive Inc Hopefully the new design out performs the old design! Either way you can’t go wrong with any of these tires.
They should be good. I just did a new video on them.
Campus Automotive Inc awesome I’ll check it out!
my gf likes the falken At, they are $137 vs $147.57 Toyo. her 1st set,90% hwy& city driving...we should be ok.
shes getting 16'' rims + 245/75/16s
I like your videos so I think you should try falken wildpeak at3 I have them very quiet hands down the best in snow n rain if get p rated tire different silicia compound best tire of three hands down
I would def like to do that soon.
One thing that sets Falken apart from the other two tires is that it has severe snow rating, which is great for us who need serious winter traction out of an AT tire. I consider both Falken and Nitto in the same league, maybe Nitto has the slight edge since it does offer more options for truck enthusiasts. But overall they are both great tires, they both started gaining reputation in the1990's, so yeah I wouldn't say Falken is the inferior one here. I was amazed by the good reviews I heard from people using the AT3W so I went ahead and bought a set. I was considering the new General ATX but feel like it's a little too aggressive for me (90% on pavement).
I think we are on the same page on that.
@@CampusautoCo yeah man totally, just wanted to point out the snow rating. Love your videos keep it up :)
I have the KO 2 kn my wive's Ram EcoBoost Diesel Half Ton. They are awesome in the snow and ice. Hopefully with the smaller truck they last longer.
They should.
Nice review! I'm currently in the market for tires. Torn between the wildpeak at3w and the new toyo at3. Big difference in price with the falken being much more affordable. But the toyo at3 looks Sick! Lol
Get the Toyo
Not in every size; compare 275/65R20, for example.
I just took my Toyo at3 back and got Nittos. The Toyos were loud and were not a good ride. To me the Nittos are so much better
I've got some bfg ko and I've put 77k on them thinking of getting the falkens
Meh
I just had the AT3W’s put on my 2011 F150, great for the money so far. I didn’t notice much noise from them and they also balanced nicely and provide a smooth ride. Just my .02
Thanks!
Ive been running the toyo a2 245/60/17 on my ml320 awesome in snow and rain just upgraded to 265/60/18 toyo waiting on kmc district to come from china best tires ive ever had on hwy off road etc cant go wrong with open country at2
@Greg Tastad on the newer hwys i can hear them the older not as much funny you ask i had to get use to it thought my truck was malfunctioning a couple of times lmao but for the most part they are quiet you have to listen for the sound if that helps you any
@Greg Tastad he is right in the snow i drove through everything people were stuck in i drove straight through (2002 ml320 Mercedes)
yea...buy those toyo's like i did....then try and drive in the rain down here in Florida...i don't know how many times i almost went sideways....screw those things....Falken for the win with traction in wet environments and sand
I've had many times down here in the rain in TX with Toyos not being able to take off at a light or stop sign without spinning out. I'm not impressed with them either
@@jet0577 just damn dangerous....heard they fixed the problems with the newer A/T III's....but i'm already too in love with the Falkens
Driven both the Falken and the Toyo, Falken wins hands down in my opinion. Seems like a brand bias more than a real tire comparison. Almost no OEM runs toyo or nitto, maybe for a reason. Heard great things about the G2 though.
Fair enough!
I look forward to your review of the new Toyo Open Country AT III’s. I heard that Falken is using a new compound, and now the new Wildpeaks aren’t as grippy as the “originals” (which I’ve had for three years). Since the new Toyo’s have the 3PMSF rating, I’ll most likely switch over.
Cool. Let me know how it goes!
Review on the Toyo at3?
Im on my second set/vehicle with the wildpeaks and can say for certain that they are tremendously good in wet road conditions and equally good in snow. My only experience with the toyos was on a 2/3 worn set I had on my FJ cruiser when I bought it, but based on that limited use, Feb '17-Oct '17 I was not disappointed in the least. I don't know of anyone on a personal level that runs terra grapplers currently. Surely someone has in the past, but they no longer do if they had. I work with many others who run wildpeaks and nobody seems to have anything negative to say about them.
The toyo at2s I feel were better wearing, albiet slightly, and somewhat quieter, but running p-metric vs the LT wildpeaks I put on after. The wildpeaks are tremendous in the snow and the wet but I feel that when new, they Toyo would be equally good in the wet and nearly as good in the snow. Neither tire would I hesitate to run on my vehicles. That being said, when I'm shopping for tires in my area, I can find LT rated falkens at a much lower price point than the Toyos and don't feel the performance difference matches the price difference by any means. Currently my p-metric falkens on my tacoma are wearing down to close to what the toyos were on my FJ when I bought it, and coming into winter, I should see a pretty legitimate apples to apples comparison with when I first ran toyos.
I'd run either before a terra grappler, and a terra grappler before a KO2.
Awesome feedback. Thanks!
The Falken wildpeak at3w is an amazing tire and for the price imo I’d pick them over the toyo any day, I actually run a set of at3s on my summer set and rubitreks for winter on my raptor,
Thanks for the feedback
There's no noise have them on two different jeep great tires
Yes
Thanks for the feedback.
Falken = amazing on my 4runner
Tried most all of them, and the Wildpeak at3w.... Fantastic. Awesome in snow, rain, desert, rock crawling etc etc etc I've never had one problem with the Falken brand. Whereas the other brands are kick ass as well. I have had problems more so with them.
I have heard alot of people that say the same thing about Falken. Truth is, they are a pretty good tire. My opinion is purely subjective.
What do you recommend for yokun 2004?
I had two sets of KO2 on my Ram Ecodiesel and they were okay. They did not excel in anything. Punctured the sidewall twice last summer and fishtailed all over this December in Montana. After as much reading as I could possibly do it came down to either General Grabber ATX or the Falkens. Ultimately, I ordered the Falkens even though they were more expensive than the Grabbers ATX. I am hoping for better snow performance and better longevity than the KO2. Time will tell.
Let me know how they do!
First impressions after driving over 2000 km in snow cover roads of BC and Alberta with my new Wildpeaks.
I went up a size to 275/65/20. Also the KO2 were in stock size and 8 ply as opposed to the Falkens being 10 ply. The added weight is exactly 10 lbs. That is a substantial weight gain. One thing I have noticed immediately in that regard was the effect it has on braking. It certainly takes more effort in applying brakes. I obviously don’t have exact measurements but I wouldn’t be surprise to see an increase in stopping distance.
Quietness: is on par or little better than the KO2.
Wet traction: there’s is not a hint of hydroplaning. KO2 were similar.
Snow: Falkens are better (IMHO), not staggeringly better, just better. I have to say, though, that the temperatures were around -27C (-17F). No AT tire (snowflake rated or not) will do great in those temperatures. I have never run a true winter tire on my truck, but I suspect that it would be the time when one would notice a difference.
Fuel economy: don’t have the exact number but the added weight does obviously have an impact.
Right now I’m happy with the purchase. However, I’m not sure if in the future I would stick with the taller sidewall or go back down to the stock size.
Falken wildpeaks at3 are monsters on snow excellent
Love the Toyo how soon do you think they will come out with the at3 thank you
I would expect them to release something soon. The AT2 is getting a little long in the tooth.
You sold me on the Toyo hopefully they're available
They are hard to get!
@@CampusautoCo They are firestone could get them for me in a week. Although I'm in FL and need to drive back to MN so I went with the nitto's they can get me on Tuesday. It sounds like they're the next best thing.
Hard to get ooh thats not good to hear how they goin sell?
The wildpeak AT3W Is better than both the Toyo, and the Nitto in rain, snow, and Ice.
I think the Open Country AT3 will be better.
@@CampusautoCo have you actually tested them? I have the Falkens installed on my Wrangler ive ran them for approx 12k miles and theyre the quietest, ATs ive ever ran on the highway / pavement. theyve performed great in rain, snow and ice. I think Toyo is just banking on brand hype with these Open Countrys
@@loganmcdavid2038 I don't think he does any testing. Just seems to me like he is giving his personal opinion on camera about "looks". Not any different than the other multitude of people TH-cam. Any given tire is either the best or worst just standing there looking at them guessing at performance.
How many Miles give You on a Tacoma 2016? I have Hércules mud tires and put alot gas on.. i want know if the toyo Open country give You good mileage..for gallon tks..
These tires should be better.
I've run all these and more and the Falken is the best tire overall. I love that tire. Will go back to it when these BFGoodrich tires wear out.
Thanks you for the feedback.
Why falken and not the others ? I’m trying to decide on one myself. Thanks
@@Rockdaground Why the Falken: Lower price, better traction, easier to balance, looks better, lasts longer. Basically, a whole lot more tire for the money.
I've run these A/Ts on my Jeeps/trucks:
Toyo
BFGoodrich
Cooper
Hankook
Falken
Goodyear
Mastercraft
Treadwright
Nitto ("Shitto")
Firestone
If you want the best rain/snow/mud traction, the smoothest ride, and the best performance in the A/T category the Falken is where it's at. In fact, they are so good that from 2020 and beyond, Jeep is going to start using the Falken A/T and M/T tires as factory equipment on the Gladiator and possibly the Wrangler.
Did you run p-metric or LT Falkens?
I like the Falcons as well and I was going to get the BF Goodrich all-terrain ta is but at $70 cheaper entire I had to give them a shot and I am very happy with how they ran going to get my second set soon I got over 50,000 miles out of the Falken wildpeak AT3 on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
The latest prices has the Falken in between the Toyo and Nito
Your videos are superb!! I have a 6000 LB SUV and want to put on a set of AT tires, the dealer recommended the KO2 and a tire store recommended the Nitto Ridge Grappler (285/65/20) over the KO2. I occasionally do some rough forestry service roads in east TN but mostly highway. Do you see any disadvantages with the Nitto?
Look at the General Grabber ATX or The Toyo Open Country AT3.
Of course they are recommending the most expensive tire lol. I highly recommend the Falken at. Do some research on all tires before you buy. Good luck.
Toyo Open County AT2 on my Ram Rebel reminds me of a song. (Slip sliding Away)worthless in rain or snow.
Wonder if it has to do with tire size vs weight of truck. I love mine on my 2500 Cummins, but I have a lot more weight over the front tires? I have run this tire for a while now and have always had good luck with it.
@@robertmaurer9879 Could be, I can tell the difference with the Falken Wildpeaks. I sold the Toyo’s to a guy with a 3500.
I hope they work better for him.
@@robertmaurer9879 how much experience do you have with other tires and how much do you drive in the snow?
Would like you to actually drive on wildpeak n do a wildpeak specific video they are much better than you advertised at3w is the truth in snow n rain believe me wouldn't use any other tire n they are super quiet n smooth on the road
My thoughts exactly!
I have the falkens. I run them in a 235/85R16 on my 1995 F350 Powerstroke and I love them. They really come in close with the BFG K02s. I know a lot of people that have had BFG and have switched to the falkens and now prefer the falkens.
Yes falken 1 tire
Do the Toro open country tire fit on 17 inch wheels?
Yes
Do a video on Hercules tg tire at tire
Falken wildpeak at3w all the way hands down better of the three
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE VIDEOS. HOW ABOUT A WINTER COMPARISON
Good idea. I have no experience with winter tires though. I have never even sold a set. I think i'm right outside the winter tire threshold.
I have a Toyota highlander. I'm going to start going to the mountains like once a month. Mostly paved roads but there are some dirt and gravel spots. Looking for something that will be good for everyday roads but perform in the dirt. Dont have room to get another set of wheels. Also do I actually need some AT tires?
Try the Continental Terrain Contact HT instead of the AT
Can confirm. Just had HT's installed by accident the other day, went back and had them do AT as I wanted on my subaru. The HT's were a lot quieter, less expensive, and I probably should have just stuck with them. the AT's will be great for the 2% of the time on rough forest service roads but probably not worth it 98% of the time
what tire do you recommend for a 2003 jeep wrangler Rubicon, tire size LT245/75R16 ,I'M having a difficult time finding any tire that size .
Try the General Grabber ATX
Sir. What tire do you recommend for a 2017 gmc Denali tire size 285 45 22. I live in south west Texas and only drive on the highway
I value your opinion, but i am curious to know if you have you used the these tires on and off-road? I had Falken's on my my off-road rig and they were by far some of the best tires i've owned. Very quite and comfortable on the road, and handled everything i threw at them off-road. I'm looking to upgrade tires on my 2019 Ram 2500, so that is why I am here.
Yes I have but I think the Falken would be better off road. I like the Toyo Open Country AT3
Just got pricing for tires 8/19/22… Nittos are the cheapest by a lot! Wildpeaks are $288, Nittos $235, Toyos $342. We have ran the Toyos for 5 years now and it’s almost time for new tires.
I drive my Jeep Wrangler exclusively on-road, sadly. Which gives best fuel economy and why? Thanks. This video is really helping me narrow down my choice. Trying to convince myself out of all-season SR-A in offshoot I start off-roaring. Thanks!
I'd say that there is a negligible difference in all the as far as fuel economy.
I have a wrangler and the falken tyres, they’re great I love them. Not loud at all and great for the road. Also great going off-road. Would definitely recommend.
Great video 👍🏻 . I recently purchased the Nitto Grappler G2 tires for my 2016 Ram 1500 sport put on 20 inch stock rims . Once I get over 70 mph - 80 the truck has a noticeable shake . I can see the passenger seat actually shaking. You can slightly feel the shake in the steering wheel. The truck originally came with the Goodyear Wrangler SRA tires and I had a smooth ride . I have friends with the Nitto G2 tires on their Ram trucks with no issues. I thought easy fix the wheels just need to be rebalanced but I went back to the tire shop 2 times and they rebalanced the tires but I'm still getting that shake . Do you had any ideas on correcting the shake ? Tire shop said it's an all terrain tire that's how they are . I've owned numerous pick up trucks and all kinds of all terrain tires on them over the years and never a problem like this . I'm at the point where I'm thinking I'm going to take a $1,000 loss and get rid of these tires that I just purchased in end of October which would be a shame . I feel like I got ripped off 😕.
I appreciate any suggestions thank you .
Try your local Firestone, they have RoadForce balancing machine that would help with the vibration. The experience of the tech who's performing the wheel balance is very important too!
Man I hate that for you. Try Hunter Roadforce Balancing or some Magnum Balancing Compoud.
Robert Perks , I'm sorry your having issues but I would bet that one of your front tires has a bubble or bulge. have you tried to put the back on the front and front on the back yet ??
if not, try that. you can also try a spare tire swop out one by one until you find the bad tire. full size spare recommended !!!
Tim Schutte
Hey Tim
I've looked at all the tires and don't see any bulges . The tires have been switched around with no results. I've been working a lot but I'm going to see if I can get the tires balanced for a 3rd time but on the road force machine. Thanks for the advice though. Hopefully something will work.
I just lifted my Jeep Wrangler (2.5”) I live in NY and do not do a lot of off road driving just yet, looking at hybrids because I love the look of a mud tire but want go daily and snow driving capabilities. Any advice on a Hybrid or AT that looks aggressive and good in snow?
I see a lot of Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the road and Yokohama has a Geolander X-AT that's good.
@@CampusautoCo yokohamas r the worst tires ive ever had they raor like a lion brand new! The traction is good though.
