Falken Wildpeak AT4W vs Nitto Terra Grappler G3

[CoryB]

I'll be installing a Superlift leveling kit on my 2024 XLT 2.3L soon and want new tires. Does anyone have either of these tires and what do you think of them?

FWIW, I'll be installing them on stock XLT rims. I already have 1.25" wheel spacers so side clearance won't be a problem. Tire size will be 285/70-17.

And if you have either of these, what size do you have and did you notice a performance hit?

Thanks.

I haven't driven on the Nitto's and I just installed my AT4w's. The first spec I would consider is the weight. The AT4w is 12 lbs heavier per tire. Thats 48 lbs of unsprung weight. You will definitely notice that.

Its been very noticeable on my Raptor. The initial acceleration has certainly taken a hit but the Raptor has a lot of power to spare so its not too bad. If you want on ramp speed I would go with the lighter tire.

I have the wildpeaks on my 2.7 xlt. Great winter tires. They are definitely heavier than the wranglers. I’m using the wranglers or lighter tires in warm seasons

Not a direct comparison, but I have 275/70r18s G3 on wife's Bronco and they have been perfect. Quiet, nice ride, and no complaints.
