The tread blocks feature multiple traction edges and sipes and are molded to accept optional metallic studs to increase wintry weather traction. The Grabber AT2 features a chip-and tear-resistant tread compound molded into an aggressive, symmetric self-cleaning tread design featuring five rows of independent tread blocks to blend on-road handling with off-road traction according to General. With the substantial savings and a much better rating, the General Grabber AT2 became my new set of tires. Since price was a factor, I compared the Grabber AT2 to a comparable sized All-Terrain, and the AT2 was approximately $50.00 cheaper per tire. Since Continental was and remains one of the largest European tire companies, the acquisition provided a strong, sound presence in the world’s tire market, and today the company operates under the name Continental Tire North America. In 1987, Continental AG of Hannover, West Germany, expressed an interest in General Tire and ultimately purchased the company. Falken Wildpeak AT3W Vs.General Tire has been manufacturing tires for automobiles and trucks for 100 years, with truck tires being a major part of the company’s rich history since 1928. Bigger and heavier tire doesn’t help, but I wish my on road fuel economy was a bit better.” (doug910 – ) When I went from the factory Hankook 265/65R17 to the Falken 265/70R17, I lost nearly 2 MPG. The only con is that I wish they got slightly better fuel economy.
Excellent in the snow, resistant to punctures on the rocks. They’re quiet on the highway for being an aggressive A/T tire yet they dig through mud like a M/T. Tires are awesome in every condition and I really don’t have any faults to it. I’ve driven them in just about every condition: pavement, snow, rain, gravel, grass, peanut butter mud, rocks. “ I have just over 20,000 miles on Falkens and I would buy them again any day.Just be aware of that if you travel on any dirt or gravel roads.” (JAKE2.3 – ) Even with mud flaps and nerf bars, I’ve gotten a lot of stone chips in the rockers from these tires. That being said, they throw rocks and gravel a lot in my case. Bought as a set with new wheels from Discount Tire. Yes they not as good as winter but I had no dangerous situations or anything on roads with them.

The falkens in a p metric on it were amazingly quiet and made the FJ drive much more sporty compared to the KO2s.” (Blue_76 – ) I also own a FJ cruiser and since I liked the falkens so much I took off the KO2 on it which were scary to drive in the rain and roared like a freight train. I traded the truck a month ago with 45k on the tires and still felt like they were great tires. I was impressed, they did begin to give up wet traction until around 40k miles. Loved them but was afraid they would also give up a lot like the others did relatively quick.

Tried several other tires like the Toyo AT2s, Bridgestone, pirellis, pro comp etc … I thought I would try the Falkens when they first came out on my F150. Down right scary when they get over halfway through the tread. Great tire when new but really sucked on wet roads once worn some.
I have ran the BFGs on several vehicles in various versions for more than 20 years. “ I have ran both tires in both in Pmetric and LT tires.
