They are made by a street, strip, low profile company who decided to get into the world of light truck tires. My dad has a set on and F-350 diesel long bed four door and they are wearing horribly. He had a set of uniroyals before them that last twice as long. But one upside is that they pull great had a 375S turbo bobcat on a trailer in about and inch of red mud and they pulled it right out. |

My buddy put a set of the Wild Peaks on his GM 1500 shown below. He has had them for a few months now. They are wearing great for him. Great traction on and off road too. I was leery of them at first, but after seeing them, they look to be a good quality tire. Great price for his 20's from Discount Tire too.

I like the tread design of those Falken tires but haven't been able to find anyone running them that I know of. What kind of price are you finding them for? |

Last I checked, discounttiredirect.com will ship them to your door for $135 each or so. So you're looking at around $525 or so for a whole set of them. Then, a trip to your local Walmart or tire shop of your choice will cost you $50-$75 bucks. So, for $600 you can have a set of these on your KJ. The magazines are all giving VERY positive reviews on these Falken ATs. They even have a company Jeep with Falkens on it that they take to all the extreme offroad events to show how tough these are. I am looking at them pretty hard myself. Apparently there are three tires. Rocky Mountain ATS, Wild Peak AT, and High Country AT. Two of those tires are actually the same tire from what I can gather...not sure why they use two names on the same tire. The other one (High Country) is a little more aggressive with deeper tread blocks. All of them are roughly the same price. |

Ended up getting some Duratrac 245/75/16's for about the same price.  With the $40.00 rebate it actually made them a little cheaper.  Should have them on Wednesday!! |
