Falken at4w in 285/70/18 - anyone got em (2 Viewers)

[Pucker5]

So I was looking at tires yesterday (as
I habitually do) and noticed the new falken all terrain comes in a size 285/70/18 which I was kinda pumped about since 275/70/18 seems to be the “put it on it will fit in nearly all setups” and 295/70/18 seems to be the “it will fit on some setups with some extra work to be done”. I’ve seen this size tire before but they tend to be pricey. With most 275/70/18 all terrains eclipsing the $300 mark this offering seems like a nice way to get into a clean 34” without going broke.

Anyone have these on their rig yet? I was looking at Toyo open counter rt trails in 295/70/18 kinda so want to do anything extra to make em fit

My next set will be these but at 255/85r16 tall/skinny on my steelies. The idea of a 34 is super appealing though.

There is a 255/85/17 out there…

I am running the Falkens in 275/75/16 and lovethem.
They are great off road, not loud.

Check this out: Picture Thread Post #14,561. @codyaustin5 just put a set of these on his '19. Looks great.

Yep. 285/70/18. Been on for a few days and love them. Super quiet, ride smooth (C load), and look great.

Is this the only C rated AT tire in 285/70/18?

Looks good, wish someone would pull the trigger for a 100 series

As far as I know. Only about 10 or so tires in this size. All of them E rated.

Just picked these up. Wildpeak AT4W LT285/70R18 LR-C.
Tundra off road rims, 1.25” spacers. Clears pinch weld *barely* and had to cut a little of the fender liner in front of it.
Initial thoughts are good, just a lot heavier than the P rated Tundra tires they replaced.

@CruisingTheLand Do you think they would fit just fine w/o the spacers?

Yes very likely. Spacers have been on so I can run these wheels with the front caps

How are the noise levels?

 

[GerLC100]

I run 35" AT3W on my van for 2 years now. 20-25k miles now and at least the same life left. zero noise over regular street tires.

A friend of mine used to work on the Ineos Grenadier and they worked with BFG on a new tire. BFGs target: get better than AT3W again as it's gaining more and more market share

 

[CruisingTheLand]

How are the noise levels?

Not noticeable with windows up, and barely noticeable with them down. At least so far

My cupping Falken M/T's are NOISY.

Thanks! Do you notice the weight difference compared to stock? They are 68 lbs ea, quite heavy for C rated as E rated tires in 295 are only 2 lbs more.

Definitely notice the weight coming from P275/65. Still on first tank of gas so we’ll see how bad the hit is

Did you get a spare as well? Does it have enough clearance underneath the truck?
Thanks for being the first to try it out on a hundy.

I’m foaming big time. I got the Amazon 1.5 spacers ready to throw on my 275’s/70/18 but these look soooo good
