Falken AT3WA Main Review - A City "Warrior" AT

#Falken #AT3WA #AllTerrain 80% Asphalt - 20% Offroad

Finally managed to finish the Falken AT3WA review after many months of testing and several versus against other ATs and an MT. The AT3WA is a premium tire with a very strange behavior even on asphalt, if you don’t deflate a bit below the OEM tire pressure recommendations, then it becomes dangerous on wet (like a 7 years old all-season dangerous), if you go above OEM pressures then you are playing the Russian roulette on wet.
In the AT versus sessions that will be uploaded in the next weeks, it was the most difficult to drive in off-road terrain, always needing more care and workarounds, also the lateral shoulder grip is weak.

We added the AT3WA in our AT chart with estimated good grades for winter due to the *3mountain peaks, this allowed it to be on the sixth place. This might change this winter, but until snow falls we cannot be sure.
It’s a good tire for the casual city offroadist that wants fuel economy from an AT tire and a quiet ride. The only place where it shined a bit was the wet grass and where it slightly beat the AT34S.

Would we recommend it? Depends what you need, but for now let’s wait for the winter testing, though the wet performance at OEM bar pressure, does raises questions on breaking/risk.
