About the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

All-Weather All-Terrain Passenger Light Truck/SUV tire. Original Equipment on Select Vehicles.

Features

* Outer apex sidewall features a secondary bead apex that acts as a heat shield to protect the internal casing* 3D canyon sipe technology* Aggressive upper sidewall along with offset shoulder blocks* Silica tread compound* Heat diffuser technology in the lowest sidewall * Rugged and rigid tread blocks* Class leading tread depth* Carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol* 55,000 Mile Limited Tread Life Warranty* Road Hazard Protection Warranty

Benefits

* For confident handling and durability with the added benefit of sidewall protection on rough roads and trails* Interlocks the shoulders to resist wear from high torque as well as providing additional handling stability* Protect the tire from sharp rocks and provide additional off‐road traction at low tire pressures or in off‐camber situations* Delivers superior wear life and wet performance (non‐LT sizes)* Dissipates heat to protect the internal tire components, ensuring vehicle stability even when towing or carrying heavy loads* Feature support ramps and step‐down features that provide tread-pattern rigidity in the contact patch, enhancing vehicle stability and handling while also preventing stones from becoming trapped in the grooves* Provides long lasting wear as well as consistent snow and hydroplane resistance throughout the life of the tire (*LT Sizes, 20/32nds inches)* Meets the required performance criteria for Use in Severe Snow Conditions

Understanding the 285/45R22 XL size

In the size code 285/45R22, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 128.3 mm. R22 means radial construction on a 22-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 32.1".

The load index 114 means each tire supports up to 2,601 lbs — about 10,404 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 660 A B. The treadwear grade of 660 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $273.00 per tire, a full set of four costs $1092.00. That is about 10% above the average of the 99 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $19.85 per 1,000 miles across the set.
