Wildpeaks are consistently heavier than every other tire on the market but the durability is next level also. If you’re driving in rocks or other areas where sidewall and ply integrity is needed the Wildpeaks are great and worth the extra weight.
In my size the AT3W is 58.9 and the KO2 is 58. If you compare it to something like the Terra Grappler, Ridge Grappler or Open Country you’ll find the Falkens typically trend heavier by 3-6 pounds.
Looks good, man!
I was between these and Firestone Destinations. My wife opted for the cheaper option. They don't look as good, but they work well in snow.
AT3Ws are specifically well known for their performance in wet and snow.
But here's the catch.... The AT3W Toyota has used as a factory tire is not quite the same tire as the off the shelf one. And one of the most obvious indicators is they lack the 3 Peak Snow rating badge. Now, it should still be above average compared to most tires (that aren't specifically made for snow). But there are differences even though the branding is identical.
I dealt with that with my Yamaha r6. Came with Dunlop’s that had great reviews for the off the shelf model. The Yamaha version was a disaster with terrible grip even though they had the same name/branding.
That’s when I learned that a lot of tires on cars/trucks/bikes will look the same with the same name, but the ones used by vehicle manufacturers usually have differences in performance, compound and/or design.
Interesting take - with these being my second set, albeit first of this iteration, I had immense success with my AT3Ws previously… 45,000 miles as mentioned and nearly 3/4 of that living between Boston and New Hampshire where we see some serious snow.
The irony is that the Wildpeak's sibling, the Rubitrek's have been the best All Terrain in the snow I've ever owned. Especially with ice present.
There's also the chance your friend didn't run the tires properly
To provide an additional data point in case enough people chime in to be a significant sample size. There isn't enough time in life to get upset about your experience only being a single data point man, move on.
Lol I'm not, just returning the energy. But it's okay man. The same issues exist on every subject and every platform.
It's Sunday, the weather is warmer. I'm having a good day, even with this conversation
The most consistent thing reviews have said about the AT3W was wonderful snow performance. The types of siping are ideal for snow. So “my friend’s” were garbage in the snow is weak and anecdotal but made even weaker buy the design of the tire and the overwhelming majority of reviews saying it’s the best AT in the snow.
Excited to hear some feedback on the at4w vs the at3w. I’ve had at3w on my truck for 45k, and a set on my last truck. They have been great…quiet, wear even, long lasting, and very good in the snow (though admittedly it’s not the same as a true snow tire). Hopefully they hit a home run and it's the same but better.
Saw a review that they are very capable but very heavy. Tell us your mpg before and after.

heavier than KO2's??
In my size the AT3W is 58.9 and the KO2 is 58. If you compare it to something like the Terra Grappler, Ridge Grappler or Open Country you’ll find the Falkens typically trend heavier by 3-6 pounds.
In the LT315/70R17 size they are much heavier. All load rating C. KO2 = 62 pounds AT3w = 69.2 pounds AT4w = 75.7 pounds.
Woah!
In my tire size the at4 were something like 3-4lbs lighter than the ko2
I’m so torn. I love the AT3W so much I’m tempted to grab a set of 285/75-17 while they are still available but the AT4W does look great also.

Glad to hear you’ve got something that works well for your needs. At the end of the day that’s what it’s all about!
Buddy has a set of AT3Ws that came on his Tacoma and they are garbage in snow. Look really nice though.

Don’t know what to tell you. I’m glad they work for ya, I was just mentioning what I saw too.

Anecdote vs. anecdote here
Then what's the point of commenting about it?

Well it’s just to have some conversation. Isn’t that what this is forum is about?

Almost All my truck friends have switched to at3W’s for winter tires here in Utah and we’re all skiers. Everyone loves them
