Falken Wildpeak– This tire has been gaining popularity among small SUV owners due to its aggressive styling, strength, heavy tread pattern, and relatively light weight. It’s very comparable in performance to the legendary BFGoodrich KO2 but without the weight bogs down smaller cars. You need to add this tire to your shopping list as you consider an upgrade.
We really appreciate how the AT3W can do it all. It does very well on the pavement, isn’t overly loud on the freeway when compared to most AT tires, and can hammer almost all types of off-road terrain with no problem. They are even 3 peak mountain snowflake rated which means they won’t harden up in the cold weather like some tires. I’ve watched guys hit pretty aggressive trails with these – not just in Subarus, but even lifted Toyotas.
If you’re planning to get this tire for your Crosstrek, it’s available in these popular sizes: 215/75R15, 235/75R15, and even 225/65R17 for those who want a tire to fit on their stock wheels. Considering everything this tire offers, it’s extremely affordable and can be delivered pretty quick to almost any zip code in the US through Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct (I’ve had great luck with both of these retailers.)
Please note that the Wildpeak AT3W is not the same as the Wildpeak AT Trail. They’re both great tires, but the AT Trail is much lighter duty and is mainly intended for folks who do mostly pavement driving with occasional gravel road usage.
