265/70/18 Falken Wildpeak AT4W +20 Offset setup installed

Because I am insane and don't mind spending hours at Discount Tire. I swapped from the KO3s to the Falken AT4Ws. They had to swap out a bad BFG and they still had some slight wobble. Both E load. So figured I'd try something new while able.

The AT4Ws are definitely louder than stock and the KO3's, but even though they are only 3 pounds lighter than the KO3's, the feel like they roll better.

I am still getting a little jitter on the road at random times but I'm thinking that might be just life with an E load tire and this vehicle and suspension.

I went back to the 265 in the AT4Ws when I went up to the 275 in the KO3 because the 265 AT4W is a 33.4" diameter tire. The 275 BFG was 33.1". If I did 265 in the BFG it was like 32.6". Interestingly, the 275 in the AT4W is slightly shorter at like 33.2". I also saved 3 pounds.

Ramble over.

Nice. Did u pay full price for the new set of tires? Or did Discount Tires accept the returns of KO3 and you paid the difference?

They were actually cheaper so I got a $238 refund. Discount refunded my entire amount since the BFGs had balance issues.

I'll post some MPG data on my next fill. Some more thoughts after living with these for a couple of days.

Hit a light dirt and rock road hitting a MTB trail today and they felt very nice and plush on that terrain. This will be where they shine for sure.

We are getting some rain next week and I'll see how they do there.

One thing to note I wasn't aware of. They only have 2 ply sidewall on this size. Thought all their E load were 3. Not the end of the world, but info for some. Still better than standard SL obviously.

I have the BFG Ko3s E rated tires on my Pro. Never had any kind of issue. And they haven’t been road force balanced.

Still running 33 PSI cold. I've put on about 260 miles with these tires and done to half tank fill ups. Both were giving me an average of 18.05. Not bad at all considering I added 18.2 pounds per tire from the OEM Toyos. Before I was high 19-20 usually.

Based on what I've read here plus all the research I've done, I decided to pull the trigger on the Falken Wildpeak AT4W 265/70R18 116T tires with the TRD Pro 20 mm offset wheels for my '25 ORP. No fitment issues at all with stock suspension staying with the stock tire size. Really no need to go bigger in my case.
It may be my imagination or wishful thinking but they seem to have improved ride quality over my AT3W's. Also, I expected to hear more road noise it didnt happen. They are quiet and completely smooth at all speeds plus the slight bump out and more aggressive tread make my ORP look more like a proper off roader.
I live on a long gravel and stone driveway my AT3W's grabbed and threw a ton of stones. The wider tread pattern on the AT4W's helped reduce this problem. I also have TRD Pro mud flaps which provide full coverage and better protection.
Through the process I learned that 6th gen's self learn the new TPSM's while driving. Tell it to learn it does. No programming required or having to pay the tire shop or dealer.
I live in upstate New York so look forward to testing this setup both on and off road and in all weather conditions. This winter may be true test due to El Nino we'll see if the 3 Peak snow rating holds up.
So far I'm thrilled and am confident this will prove to be a good decision. Thanks to Joestac for starting this thread and to all who have contibuted!
