From what I’ve heard on this forum they seem quite good but I would like to upsize to 275’s if there are no rubbing issues. Anyone have any suggestions for sizes with this brand?
MY17 GC Trailhawk with air suspension. And yes, I do use the park mode setting.

Will be towing 2.8T next year and the vehicle is mainly a tourer, so hardly any city driving.

Thanks in advance.

I've now done about 30 thousand on 275/65/18 LT wildpeaks and am very happy with the choice.

To the naked eye you would honestly think they've done about a third of that, very little wear whatsoever. The on-road grip has been great, although I've noticed a very slight decrease in wet weather grip, but still a significant step up on my previous Coopers. Offroad they've also been excellent across sand, dirt, and mud and inspire a lot of confidence. Can't give any feedback on towing a van, but handle a 1.5T camper no worries at all. Understandably have gotten a bit noisier over time, but not unbearably so.

In terms of rubbing, it's only very, very slight at full lock when using entry/exit mode, and also managed to wear a small hole in the rear liners at full compression going over some washouts on the beach that I didn't see...

I have actually gone with the Maxxis razr AT811’s on recommendation from the pros. Also, I didnt upsize and anything above stock size on the WK2 is a very tight fit, especially with quadra lift.

I,ll keep two of the stock Wranglers ATs for spares on steel rims as they are still quite good. Two of them have had it due to wheel alignment.

After I’ve done a few kms I will update the performance on the Maxxis AT811 thread.

P.s Getting hold of the Falken Wildpeaks was pretty much impossible due to no stock and huge shipping delays… as it is with everything post covid!

The Wild Peaks were also my first choice but they didn't have a LT type for the 18" WK2 in the standard size, so I would have had to upsize to get the LT version, and they wouldn't fit into the spare wheel well.

Hence I also got the LT AT811's, which reminds me, must do the front tyres swap, I now have 2 spares, so will just change out 2 at a time. Just done about 20K on them now and no issues.

I think that you will be happy with them!

Mine are bigger than stock with QL and fit fine at standard and aero road height.
If in the bush on anything tricky I'm usually at OR1 which gives tons of clearance

So what the peeps with 20 inch wheels using for off-road tyres?

I have nitto’s at the mo but will be fitting new ones to the new truck.

Anything new and noteworthy?

Generally good feedback on the Wildpeaks in 20" as well
