Falken A/T4W Discussion


Recommended Posts

It has been a while since I visited the Forum. Recently I was doing some research on replacement tire options for my 2015 Silverado. My last two sets of tires have been BFGoodrich KO2 in 275/60R20 (33"). For the most part, I have been very pleased with the performance of this tire. The only issue I had was once they started getting close to replacement the ride comfort and wet handling performance deteriorated very quickly. This poor performance started even with reasonable tread width. I kept them rotated every 6k to 8K miles.

 

So, this brings me to the purpose of this thread. After a lot of research, I decided to give Falken WildPeaks a try. I read nothing but high praises for the A/T3W version, but I started seeing reviews on the newer A/T4Ws so I decided to give them a try. Since I didn't find any threads on the forum related to the A/T4Ws I decided to start this thread.

 

I am not a tire performance expert by any means. My following comments are based on how they look and feel. Also, keep in mind I got these installed about 2 weeks ago. 

 

  • Tire Size: 275/60R20, installed on 20" stock Silverado wheels. My Crew Cab is a 4x4 (non-Z71) LTZ model. The only suspension upgrade is a 2.25" ProComp Leveling Kit.
  • I really like the aggressive tread on the A/T4W version. Similar to the 3W, but appears to be more beefy lugs.
  • Tread depth is incredible
  • Very smooth riding. I would have to say better than I remember the KO2s when I first got them.
  • We had a significant rain just after I got them. I noticed excellent handling especially in high standing water areas.
  • I do very little offroading since we moved to Florida, so I have no feedback to provide.

 

I will continue to provide updates as available. If you have installed the A/T4Ws please feel free to provide us your feedback.

 

I'll provide some pics soon! UPDATE: Pic added

How is the road noise sound level? Are they ''hummers'' ?

Not at all. Similar to the KO2s. Maybe even a little quieter!

I have a 21 Sierra SLT and just bought the Falken ATW4

Has anyone had an issue with seems like tires bouncing 

had the dealer re- Balance them 

seems ok for now 

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated 

 

Mine have been super smooth!

 

You might consider getting your wheels checked. Bent wheel(s) could cause this. Also a high speed balance would be worth checking into.

 

GOOD LUCK! Keep us posted!

SORRY for the delayed reply!

 

Road noise isn't anything worse than the BFG K02s, and I didn't have any issues with them at the time.
