It is available in load E range with road hazard protection, offering a free replacement for any damage that occurs during the first two years, or within the first 3/32 inch of tread life.

There is a 30-day ride guarantee, so consumers can get to test the tire and return it if they are not pleased with the performance within 30 days.

Technology

  • 3D Canyon sipe technology interlocks the shoulder to support high torque applications by resisting wear from high torque and increasing edges for enhanced all-season handling.
  • Rigid tread blocks support heavy-duty towing capability with its support bridge that provides tread pattern rigidity in the contact patch for better vehicle stability and handling when hauling or towing.
  • Four circumferential grooves for evacuating water when on a wet surface or in the rain, thereby reducing the risk of hydroplaning while enhancing wet braking performance.
  • Aggressive Upper sidewall for protecting the shoulder of the tire from road hazards on highway or construction sites.
  • Optimized tread pattern with three variable pitches for an exceptionally quiet ride.

FALKEN WILDPEAK H/T02 ReviewsAbout the new Wildpeak H/T02

This tire is built to deliver industry-leading highway terrain performance and durability throughout the year.

With its rugged upper sidewall, it gives its driver confidence when hauling and towing a heavy load or in use for heavy duties.

You cannot compare this tire with an average pick-up tire when it comes to its heavy-duty capabilities and applications.

As stated earlier, it can be used for construction purposes.

Drew Howlett, Product Manager, LT/SUV/CUV Tires said, “We didn’t want to develop another typical Highway Terrain tire, we wanted to build a tire that could support the most powerful and capable trucks on the road today. That’s why all LT sizes of the H/T02 were rigorously tested and developed using the latest ¾-ton diesel pickups. We pushed our Heavy-Duty tire construction to the limits, so as a testament to the H/T02’s toughness and durability, all LT-size offerings feature an ‘HD’ badge on the tire’s sidewall.”

As stated by Falken, this tire has 4D Nano Design and 3D Canyon Sipe Technology.

The Falken Wildpeak H/T02 is an improved version of the HT01 with 27 percent improved tread life, 20 percent better durability especially in the LT sizes, 19 percent better snow traction, 12 percent better-wet performance, and 5 percent improvement in its dry handling.

It features great handling on a dry surface, excellent wet braking even when hauling a heavy load.

The tread life warranty is good too, with its 30-day trial allowing consumers to give it a try.

Ride comfort is applicable as well as quiet ride, although we do not know if it will remain the same when it starts to wear.

Despite being a highway terrain tire, it can still be used off-road when necessary.
