If most of your miles happen on pavement but your weekends still involve gravel, job sites, or the occasional trailhead detour, the right all-terrain tire should feel confident on the highway without forcing you to “switch” tires for the rest of life. The Falken WildPeak A/T3W in LT285/70R17 hits that sweet spot for drivers who want a highway-friendly all-terrain option built with truck-grade sizing and specs that make everyday driving feel secure and composed.
Falken WildPeak A/T3W
This tire’s LT285/70R17 fitment pairs a 285 mm section width with a 70 aspect ratio, creating a tall sidewall profile that many highway-focused truck and SUV owners prefer for real-world comfort and a strong, planted stance. The overall 32.8-inch tire diameter also gives you that substantial footprint while still being compatible with a 17-inch rim size. With a Load Index of 113 and a listed load capacity of 2,755 pounds, it’s clearly positioned for vehicles that actually work—whether that means towing, hauling, or simply carrying heavy gear without feeling “over-tired.”
For highway duty, two details stand out. First, the Q speed rating provides a clearly defined speed capability for normal driving conditions (and beyond typical legal highway speeds). Second, the non-directional tread type is a practical advantage for long-term ownership because it supports flexible rotations—handy when you’re trying to keep wear even over thousands of highway miles. Add in a healthy 14.3/32-inch tread depth, and you’re looking at a tire spec’d to stay serviceable through real usage, not just look rugged on day one.
You also get straightforward buying confidence: Amazon’s 30-day return guarantee applies after delivery, and the manufacturer’s warranty can be requested through customer service—simple safeguards when you’re investing in a full set.
