For a 225/65R17 tire size, do you recommend the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail or the A/T4W?
I really like the sidewall protection and tread of the A/T4W, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice.
My biggest concern is weight, with the A/T4W tires each weighing 4.8lbs more than the an A/T Trail, and 6.8lbs more than the stock Geolandar. With the A/T4W at 34.8 lbs and A/T Trail at 30 lbs each. That being said, BFGoodrich KO2s are at 40.1lbs each.
The A/T4W also has a Uniform Tire Quality Grading (Treadwear-Traction-Temperature) of 660-B-B, while the A/T Trail is 680-A-A.
For some additional context, here's the details on popular 225/65R17 tires:
Lastly, can anyone confirm if the larger 65 ratio (+0.8" diameter) will fit in the Wilderness's full size spare compartment?
Thank you!
