| Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tyres |
|
I’ve poured over the tyre threads for weeks and weeks as my disco on 18s has been in need of some new tyres for a little while. It had 2 x general grabbers on the rear (both with slow punctures!) and a nearly new hifly vigorous (cheapo) and a nearly new cooper zeon xsta on the front.
I recently got them replaced with the Falkens and I’m really impressed. Very sure footed in the wet, tread looks reasonably aggressive for a mostly road tyre (plenty enough for the once a week I drive round grass fields), and the insane vibration I had above 50mph has totally disappeared. I’ve done 260miles since fitting and mostly motorway, they were brilliant and much much smoother and quieter than my previous odd tyres. Quite happy to sit at 85mph on the motorway. I’m not sure if the reason they feel SO impressive is because the mixture of tyres I had fitted before were really really bad. I suspect that’s the case to some extent but I’m not taking anything from the Falkens. Really pleased with them!
For £110 pound a corner a fitted I think they are very well priced and a good alternative to the usual favourites (grabber at3, discoverer at etc). I made my decision based on the limited mentions they’ve had on this forum, and what I’ve read on other forums - mainly abroad where they seem more popular. Anyway just thought it worth a post on here to share my good experience for anybody who finds them self in the position I was recently. Discovery 3 XS - sold
L322 Range Rover Vogue - sold
TD5 Defender 90 - sold
200tdi Defender 110 - sold
300tdi disco ES - died
Series 3 88" Petrol - sold

Appreciate the review, I’m currently running around on a nearly new set of nexens which are a great summer tyre but a bit like ballet shoes in a muddy field with winter fast approaching lol Current fleet

I've just had these tyres fitted & am so far quite happy. I got 5 fitted, balanced & a wheel alignment for AU $1245 which I think is good. They are not too noisy (for an AT) & are reasonably confident in the wet. Have yet to use them in anger. I went for 265/60 18.
