Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A WildPeak A/T Trail

Pros

  • Outstanding winter and snow traction, often replacing the need for dedicated snow tires
  • Surprisingly low road noise and comfortable, smooth highway ride for an all-terrain tire
  • Enhanced confidence and durability on light off-road surfaces such as dirt, gravel, and rocky trails

Cons

  • Slight decrease in fuel economy (MPG) reported by some users
  • Minor reduction in high-speed cornering grip or a slightly spongy steering feel on dry pavement compared to standard street tires
  • A few reports of faster-than-expected tread wear or reduced longevity under heavy rough-road usage

Tire B Geolandar A/T G015

Pros

  • Exceptional wet-weather and rain traction
  • Low road noise and smooth highway ride quality
  • Strong performance in light snow and winter conditions (3PMSF rated)

Cons

  • Struggles in deep, sticky mud and wet clay
  • Some reports of faster tread wear or hardening rubber compound over time
  • Softer sidewalls on certain specs can result in a slightly floaty or numb steering feel under heavy loads

What real owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score

Tire A

Falken WildPeak A/T Trail

Positive

The community is strongly positive, especially Subaru, Bronco, and crossover owners, who praise the Wildpeak A/T Trail as a quiet, smooth-riding all-terrain tire with good on-road manners, light off-road ability, and strong snow performance thanks to its 3-peak rating. Common drawbacks are a small MPG drop of about 1 mpg from the heavier tire, and a few isolated complaints about sidewall finish or browning, cracking, and uneven shoulder wear. Tire Rack testing cited in the posts ranked it best in dry conditions but weakest in winter among the tires compared.

r/Subaru_Outback ·4 upvotes ·2026-09-17

“If you get any appreciable amount of snow an all-season no longer cuts it, IMO. You want an all WEATHER tire. The CC2's I see you were considering are in that class. Look for the 3-peak Mountain Snowflake rating. I ran all-season tires on my 2011 Outback for 10 years. When my 2021 needed tires I went with the OTHER often-suggested tire, the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. Best decision EVER!! They changed the handling of the Outback in the snow considerably for the better but they handle good in the dry still and they're wearing like iron.”

r/Crosstrek ·12 upvotes ·2026-07-31

“2026 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness with new Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail All-Terrain Tires - 225/65R17! My speedometer and odometer readings are pretty much spot-on—maybe about a 1% difference at most. Road noise is the same as stock (if not slightly better), and grip on gravel and loose terrain is easily 30% better. Overall, stepping up to the slightly taller size for that extra ~0.5" of clearance and sidewall cushion was definitely the right move. The ride quality is great. The only thing I can’t comment on yet is tread longevity since I just got them mounted, but I'll check back in with an update down the road!”

“FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAIL how are they on small AWD vs regular A/T tires? Sorry only have a video of my roads, 1 photo for attention not ours as our Kona is stock. The other photos are screen captures of the video of the roads) We have a hyundai Kona AWD and this is what our backroads looks like (not always that bad when it's dry) I have to travel on a road like that for a mile to get to pavement. The Car has 18" with low profile grindstone weather peaks that are getting Shreaded. We are thinking of doing 16" rims and FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAILs vs a heavier AT to keep the weight down on the little turbo AWD. Size would be 215/65R16 so we don't need a lift. Great car that we want to last the next 5-10 years. Wish someone made skids for it though Read more”

Tire B

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

Positive

The community generally views the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 as a solid, versatile all-terrain tire that excels for drivers prioritizing highway comfort, low road noise, and mild off-road or winter capability. While most users praise its wet-weather traction and relatively quiet ride compared to more aggressive alternatives like the BFG KO2, a few note drawbacks such as softer sidewalls, minor fuel economy drops, and occasional reports of a stiffer or harsher ride depending on the vehicle.

“Upped the pressure to 43 PSI for a 1000 mile drive, still suffering about a 1-2mpg penalty but that could also have been due to the higher speeds (west TX speed limit of 80 mph). Got 'em off road on the rocks and they're obviously loads better than the stock SR-As out there. We'll see how they handle mud soon enough. Have 5K miles on these things so far and am satisfied. I'm not super happy per se but I'm satisfied. Jury's still out on whether I'd buy again. Will report back in another few thousand miles.”

“GEOLANDAR A/T G015 Anyone running these on 17" rims, stock or other? I have Enkei M52 rims, 17x7.5 and 45mm offset. What size fits without rubbing? 215/60R17 looks to be the closest, the only other size close is 225/65R17 which I think will be too big without a lift. I am open to other suggestions for off-road capable tires that will mainly be used on-road. K02 is out because they don't fit without rubbing, and I plan to add flaps at some point and do not want to lift the vehicle or get different rims.”

r/4Runner ·2026-09-04

“Anyone here running Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018's? Any complaints or regrets (road noise, balancing issues, etc.), specifically in SL load? Currently have the Geolandar A/T G015's on my 4th gen and am considering the A/T4's next. All the real feedback (non-commercial reviews) I've been able find on here and other forums seem to be pretty old and mostly by people without a ton of miles on them. My use case is about 90% on road with the remaining 10% on mild to moderate trails. Not a rock crawler and never will be. The G015's in SL load have been pretty perfect but I've been thinking about changing to the A/T4's next for slightly better off road performance. Main concern (aside from weight, which is why I'm looking to stay with SL instead of C) is wet pavement safety since I drive my young kids pretty much daily. I only have a roof rack, so not too much added weight.”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
