@ftodd welcome to the Forum! The wheel and tire package looks fantastic. Could you give us the size of your wheels and tires and a personal review of the Falken Wildpeaks? There are forum members that would find the information helpful when purchasing there own tire/wheel upgrades.

Absolutely!

17x8 FIFTEEN52 TRAVERSE MX - MAGNESIUM GRAY
235/65R-17 FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T3W
Review:
The Falken tires perform better than the stock pro contact continental when it comes to dry handling on the roads. The Wildpeak's grip very well and have a deeper tread than the stock continentals. Wet breaking in the rain is great. The ride is not as quiet on the highway as the stock tires but personally, I don't find that to be an issue. I cannot review the snow performance or speak on any off-roading since I have only drove with these tires for 2 days. I can update this thread on how they perform in those conditions though. As for fuel efficiency, I have noticed my highway mpg drop 1-2 mpg. Again, not a huge deal breaker for me. The performance of the tires are great and makes this vehicle feel like a more aggressive tougher SUV. Cant forget about the looks. The wheels make the car look 100x better and I am extremely happy with the purchase!

Wildpeak AT3w's are the best rain tire I've ever had (here in Houston)!!!

I added them to our BSBB on Day 2 of ownership. Been thrilled with the upgrade!

Good choice.

Good choice.

that looks awesome! does the rally light bar block the front license plate holder? I cant decide between the rally innovations light bar and the rough country nudge/light bar.

no it doesn’t. I just never run a front plate on any of my cars.

Wow, that looks really nice. Do you mind sharing your tire size and if you have a lift ?

thank you. 245/65/17 but I’m on a wider rim than stock. No lift in this picture above but here is one with a lift a 1.5 inch spacers

Nice! Yeah, I plan on running the same rims and tire size but the bronze color. Wondering if I should do the lift as well.

Nice! Yeah, I plan on rounding the same rims and tire size but the bronze color. Wondering if I should do the lift as well.

good choice. I like the lift personally. I went with the one from ranger lifts.

I think these pics give you a better ideas of the lift and spacers.
