“New Wildpeak A/T4Ws Added some Wildpeak AT4s in 275/60r20 on my stock suspension ‘24 STX. Replaced the chrome lugs with black Gorillas and added rear well liners. Looks so much better than the OEM Hankooks.”

“New shoes on my ‘23 XSE Wanted to stick with black rims but saw these on an older gen and loved the look. Wrapped in 245/65R17 Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme‘s. Also replaced the OEM springs with Eibach lift springs for a bit more ride height.”

Tire A

Falken WildPeak A/T4W

Positive

Community sentiment toward the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W is largely positive, with owners praising its aggressive aesthetics, quiet highway ride, and reliable traction in wet and snowy conditions. Most discussions focus on fitment clearance and upsized setups, with very little to no rubbing reported across multiple platforms.

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.
