Very nice! Thanks
Simple Question: Falken WP or KO3's for smoothest ride?
- Thread starter ChillLC
- Start date
Have run both of those and found the Toyo AT3 the quietest
The Falcons look great. My concern is about the weight. 15lbs heavier than the Toyos in the size I'm looking at. I want the C rating, which limits choices.
Someone pointed out in another thread that tire weight matters matters less with a hybrid, as the additional rotational ebergy is partially recaptured. I thought that was a good insight. But a 65 lb tires still makes for a 100 lb wheel.

Something to consider is the Falken Wildpeaks have a history of dry rot issues. There was a recall for a small batch of tires but not sure if they have fixed the issue with dry rot yet. It appears they use a rubber that dries out and cracks within a few years

I can find 265/70R18 tires in a SL load and a 285/65R18 tire in SL load but no 275/70R18 in anything but E load for a Off Road A/T tire. Anyone know of a brand that makes a 275/70R18 A/T in a SL load?
It was a toss up but I decided with the AT4 since I could find it locally with the SL rating in 285/70. Riding smooth so far. Only complaint is the rear quarter panel gets a lot more debris on it but that is to be expected.
The very new (may not be available yet?) Nitto Terra Grappler G3 does. It looks like a very compelling option.
