Falken AT3W tyre review
Falken AT3W are they any good? In short yes.
Falken tyres have been around for a little while now and have become very popular in the 4 wd all terrain tyre market in the last couple of years. My belief is it is because they were marketed and priced very well with a buy 4 for the price of 3 for the better part of the last few years.
Now you see them on nearly every second 4wd (I know over exaggeration) they start to make you think everyone has them so they must be a good thing. But are they?
I like the Falken AT3W’s for a few reasons, they are a large OD (overall diameter) tyre. They have good tread depth from new, over 14mm on my 285/70r17s. The squared off edges makes them wider. And side biters to look like a tough 4wd tyre.
How do the preform? On road they are quite, and hold the road better than most highway terrain tyres. Off road they are tough and durable. Offer plenty of traction for an all-terrain tyre. They do lack in the mud and could have a bit more bite to them. But as far as an AT goes they are on par with most if not better.
Tread life and longevity? Well mine are 40,000 km old with 10mm of tread left so I would expect into the 80,000 km plus out of the Falken AT3W all terrain tyres.
