With the growing SUV/MPV and 4×4 segment in the Philippines. Falken Tire Philippines, launched the Wildpeak A/T4W and R/T01 at Parklinks, Pasig last November 8, 2024.
Giving customers the best tires that they need and want on their vehicle has always been a challenge in the tire business. With the ever growing demand of All Terrain and Rugged Terrain tires, Falken’s answer is Wildpeak A/T4W and R/T01.
Ton Llave of Atoy Customs 4×4 and Bodykits explained that being a 4×4 shop that he gets feedback from customers that tires is a part of being 4×4 so for the past couple of years customers know how famous Falken Tires are. Ton being a 4×4 adventurer himself, has tried Falken tires with cargo, family, and even went travelling a few thousand kilometers using the A/T3W.
With the latest A/T4W, he told the media and dealers that the tire now has better grip, better highway performance that his passengers don’t complain, and can go anywhere without compromise.
From being in the mountain trails to the open road, the all-new Wildpeak A/T4W is built to help you tackle any terrain. Featuring staggered shoulder blocks, and proprietary 3-ply DURASPEC Sidewall Technology on select sizes, the A/T4W provides all-terrain confidence and rugged durability. Incorporating Falken’s proprietary sidewall technology ensures the Wildpeak A/T4W can withstand extreme off-road conditions. Select sizes of the Wildpeak A/T4W feature Falken’s DURASPEC 3-ply sidewall construction, while all other sizes utilize a two high-ply turn-up construction to provide an added layer of protection.
Falken Tires is expanded its 4×4 tire portfolio with the launch of the WILDPEAK R/T01 for demanding terrain, ensuring the manufacturer now has a tire for every off-road application. Engineered with adventure in mind and across the toughest of applications, the R/T01’s tread design and structure are intended to provide maximum performance on the most difficult terrain.
WILDPEAK R/T01 will initially be offered in nine different sizes ranging from 16 to 20 inches. With a ‘Q’ speed rating. Given its intention as a professional off-road tyre (POR), the WILDPEAK R/T01 has no further EU tyre label designation. The new tread blends the key attributes of Falken’s All-Terrain (A/T) and Mud-Terrain (M/T) versions, resulting in the ideal combination of traction, durability, and longevity for all-wheel drive vehicles in extreme applications. This should benefit the construction, forestry, agricultural and expedition sectors, as well as off-road enthusiasts and those who like to travel off the beaten path.
The WILDPEAK R/T01 pattern is packed with features to inspire confidence whilst tackling the most difficult driving routes at the same time as delivering low wear rates and high durability. The hybrid off-road tread pattern shares similarities with the WILDPEAK A/T and features a large contact area and stiff tread blocks for maximum mileage reliability, on-road performance and off-road ruggedness.
In terms of M/T capabilities, the WILDPEAK R/T01 is not only well suited for traversing muddy ground thanks to its open shoulder tread design, but is also well equipped for stones. The excellent self-cleaning properties of the tread provide the ultimate defence against mud and rocks – ensuring the best grip and superior traction. The three-layer sidewall provides the required cut resistance, robustness and additional protection to provide maximum grip when it’s needed the most.
