“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.”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
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. The primary critique and discussion point centers on its noticeable tire weight, associated MPG penalties, and confusing load-rating weight discrepancies.
“Falken Wildpeak A/T4W (P275/60R20) Review Simple 2000mi review on Falken Wildpeak A/T 4W in P275/60R20 (33”). Fit - They do rub slightly with stock suspension, but only with the wheel turned 100%. It’s really not an issue and I will probably do some trimming or a level eventually. Fuel Efficiency - Seems to be about a 2mpg decrease compared to highway tires. Averaged 18mpg from Denver to Utah. Noise - Zero noticeable increase in road noise. Handling - On pavement they seem to handle the same as a highway tire. On a snow covered highway they performed excellent. Gave me a lot more confidence than my previous Wrangler SR-As. I haven’t tested them in very technical terrain yet but on the basic 4wd roads pictured, they did great.”
“Seems they're offering 3 ply sidewalls now on selected sizes but their web site doesn't say what sizes. Part of the reason AT3W were a one time tire for me was the 2 ply sidewalls, so seen 3 plies is encouraging for me to update these new tires to the "Options to look at next time i'll buy AT tires list". Now with that said, they got porkier. I had them before in 315/70/17 E at 73 lbs, now they're 76lbs and they're C rated. Will they have 3 plies in C ? If they don't then they go back to the list of tires i don't care to look again The 35x12.5x17 E are now 78lbs. i'd assume these would feature 3 ply sidewalls but that's damn heavy for AT. Their sidewall looks better than before though, little more aggressive site bites and lettering which is also encouraging as a feature i look at for AT's.”
“It doesn't make sense to me either. Their 285/75R18 tire at 10 ply, HD sidewall and 1" taller than the C load is lighter. The guy in the video mentions the discrepancies in info on weights, but said they weighed in at 68.8lbs per his home scale for the 285/70R18 C load.”

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.
