The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Falken WildPeak R/T01 offers decent performance characteristics for an LT-rated tyre, though it falls short when compared to other tyres in the test group. The tyre's strongest attribute is its light and reactive steering response when driving on paved roads, providing a more car-like feel than many truck tyres. However, the tyre's wet traction capabilities represent its most significant weakness, requiring drivers to exercise considerable caution in wet conditions. While acceptable for basic truck duties, testers found the overall performance merely adequate rather than impressive when held against the broader competition.

Latest Falken Wildpeak RT Reviews

Given 62% while driving a Toyota Tacoma (315/70 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 spirited miles
Worn about 4/32 on a Tacoma with about 30,000 miles. Tires do spin in the rain and rear sometimes slides out when corner and bit faster. But noise isn’t much louder then an aggressive all terrain. Predictable road manners. Havnt had issues in snow however ice is similar to the wet/rain traction. Off road they are solid and have seen a lot of abuse with much cuts or tears.
