Best Tires in 2026? Vote Now! Do Falken Wildpeak AT4W really affect MPG?

I just crossed 36k on my original tires and have been going back and forth on either the MTs or sticking with OEM. My truck barely fits in the garage with the rambar so I have to stick with the 35s.

From reading the other forum posts it looks like majority of owners switch from OEM. But looking at this poll it doesn’t seem to be the case. Does anyone regret not switching from OEM?

My OEMs got way too loud around the 34k mile mark and they had some noticeable feathering. I replaced them with Mickey Thompsons but they are noticeably heavier and have some balancing issues. There’s always a noticeable pulsation around 70-80 mph, but they have phenomenal traction on wet roads.

My OEM’s were really loud at 36,000 miles when I replaced them as well. Honestly at 30,000 miles they were starting to sing. I know the General Grabber A/Tx is low on the vote list, but man I love them! They have been great in snow, ice, rainy days, and quiet on the highway. I would guess they perform similar to the BFG KO2’s and K03’s in mud, but I don’t see a lot of that where I’m from.

I’m down in South Florida so I can sacrifice a bit of the elements traction for aesthetics. But leaning more towards OEM. Local dealer has buy 2 get 2 for $2.

I'd check the date codes for a deal like that.

Or, they charge 100% more than most to be able to take 50% off.

I bought my General Grabber’s through the dealer when they did their Buy 3 get the 4th for $1.00

I figured it offset the cost of mounting and balancing along with a front end alignment.
