Question on tires: factory Continental vs. Wildpeak?

[chipearly]

I’ve got the stock Contenintal tires which I have found to be terrible for hydroplaning.
Would the wildpeaks be any better?

I've never had the Continentals but the Faulken's are great, and never had issues in my wifes. Lots of good tire options for rain.

Yes. By a lot.

I’ve heard Wildpeaks are great. I put on the BFG KO2’s about a month or so ago and I absolutely love them. I highly recommend changing the stock tires.

Hi Brandon, could you tell me what size you got ? 225/65R17? or 245/65R17? thanks

I went with falken wildpeak at trail and they've been great in rain, snow, overall, and mild off road. They are not a hard-core off road tire, however.

Thanks for all the feedback. The newer wildpeaks is probably what I will go with then

I got 245/65 and they fit perfect. No rubbing lock to lock. Also tested this with very minor articulation and no rubbing at all.

You'll be happy with them, there will be a noticeable performance improvement. When I went from the stock Pirelli's to the Falkens I was a bit surprised at how much of a difference they made.

There is a slight mpg penalty though but its worth it for the improved safety.

Falkens all the way!

How do they compare on noise?

Especially for an at tire they are both very quiet and ride smoothly. I've been very impressed so far.

I second that!

Hey guys, I’m likely to dump my Scorpions and move into the Wildpeaks (2022 Badlands). Any concrete ideas on the MPG difference?

I second that!

Anyone know what air pressure I should be running on my first edition badlands with 235/70/ 17 Goodyear tires at ? Thanks all
