I'm not buying that.
We are working on an M/T but believe me our A/T can keep up with most M/T's. At Moabour JK walked through Pritchett Canyon and Lower Healdorado at Area BFE with no problems even on sections were guys with much larger M/T tires needed to be winched.

Need to make them look more aggressive with some larger side lugs and more meaty looking for me...looking forward to seeing your M/T's. Any chance when the M/T's maybe out or any sneak-peeks of what they may look like? I will be in the market for a set of M/T's this summer and would consider Falken's!

These look pretty sweet, does anyone have any comments on how they handle snow?

Truck has been inspected by a professional shop, with no issues.

These will be the last set of Falken's I will EVER own.
UPDATE: Andrew at Falken Tire contacted me soon after this post. He put me in touch with their accounting department who worked directly with the Falken dealer of my choice. Long story short, Falken replaced my tires with a new set of the Wild Peak's at no charge. Because of Andrew and Barb (accounting), my impression of falken has changed 100%. They are a stand-up company and truely believe that their customer's are what pay their bills and make their reputation. Kudos to Falken from one extremely satisfied customer!

BTW, so far, I love the Wild Peak's. Great looking tire, very smooth ride. I'll report more as they see mileage.

WOW! That's awesome and it may have just changed my mind and will sway me toward going with Falken. I really like more aggressive looking tires so hoping for some mud terrains but from everything I have seen from the Wild Peaks, it might be the smart choice. Any chance of some bigger sizes like 38x14.50's? And maybe a ballpark ETA on the MT's? Props and kudos to Falken. Great job!
