Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W is widely praised as a robust, highly capable all-terrain tire that delivers an impressive balance of confident off-road traction, durable construction, and surprisingly refined on-road manners. Building on the strong reputation of its predecessor, the AT3W, the majority of users highlight its smooth highway ride, low noise levels, and excellent performance in varied conditions like rain, mud, and snow. While a few drivers reported challenges with wet or icy traction and balancing, most owners consider it an outstanding value for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4s.
Pros
- Remarkably quiet and smooth on-road performance for an aggressive all-terrain tire
- Exceptional traction across diverse surfaces including dirt, gravel, mud, and snow
- Robust sidewall durability and longevity with minimal tread wear reported over thousands of miles
- Confident handling and stability when towing heavy loads or trailers
Cons
- Noticeable reduction in fuel economy due to the heavier tire weight
- Occasional difficulty with high-speed balancing and vibrations
- Some mixed feedback regarding grip on wet pavement or hard-packed ice
- Stiffer ride quality, particularly with heavier load ratings (e.g., E-rated variants)
Worth knowing
- Heavy-duty truck owners (such as Ford F-250/F-350 and Ram 2500/3500) appreciate the stability while towing heavy fifth-wheel or travel trailers, though they note a stiffer ride at higher PSI.
- Mid-size truck and SUV drivers (such as Toyota Tacomas and 4Runners) frequently praise lighter load ratings (SL or C-range) for maintaining acceptable ride comfort without sacrificing off-road capability.
