The WILDPEAK A/T GENERATION, AT3WA, is engineered for adventure and excels in three key areas – wear, winter conditions and wet performance.
Introduced in the Summer of 2019 in response to customer requests for improved drivability on all surfaces and improved traction in mud and poor weather conditions, Falken Tyres created a new profile: the centre rib follows a zig-zag pattern and the rugged shoulder design ensures excellent self-cleaning properties resulting in improved traction.
Long and wide tread blocks in the centre and phase shifted tread blocks along the outer areas enhance tread stability which in turn lead to an even spread of pressure across the footprint and reassuring traction and braking on loose surfaces.
The rugged sidewall design with offset shoulder blocks don’t just provide protection against sharp edged rocks, they also provide extra strength and additional grip. Full-depth sipes and grooves maintain consistent performance and appearance throughout the life of the tyre.
Thanks to the 4D-Nano Design technology employed during material development, a unique rubber compound has been created to cope with the highest demands on wear and tear. The WILDPEAK A/T AT3WA is a safe choice in both winter and wet conditions.
Markus Bögner, Managing Director, COO and President at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH, says: “our new WILDPEAK A/T AT3WA is aimed at drivers who regularly use their 4×4 or SUV off-road and need tyres that are safe in all situations and weather conditions. With its excellent wear characteristics, the WILDPEAK A/T AT3WA is the ideal choice for drivers wanting to maximise the driving experience and make the most of their investment.”
Manufactured in one of the world’s most modern factories in Thailand, the WILDPEAK A/T AT3WA is available in 23 popular sizes, speed rated between Q and H (160 to 210 kmh) and marked with the M+S snowflake.
