Falken Wildpeak AT3W vs Nitto Ridge Grappler

Read in detail: https://comparethetire.com/nitto-ridge-grappler-vs-falken-wildpeak-at3w/ Falken Wildpeak AT3w is a tire which really provides the best of both worlds. The tire simply checks all boxes on and off road. But let’s see if it can outperform Nitto Ridge Grappler, starting things off with their designs. Right off the bat with Falken Wildpeak AT3w, you’ll see Z shaped blocks which have sharp chamfered edges and attached to them are ramps. These biters, also acts as a support much like the others attached to them. These foundation supports are also seen on the surrounding C shaped blocks which besides having similar chamfered edges also have notches facing in all directions. So, with that the Wildpeak provides grip from all sides. But this grip is stronger on the Nitto Ridge Grappler, as the tire features more biters with a sturdier foundation underneath it’s central blocks. Here you see 4 sharp triangular ribs, where the two on side-ways have deep notches facing the shoulders. And the other two have all common features but one. They are seen with the rectilinear sipes, chamfered edges, and offsets… like the rest… But they are also attached with the shoulder blocks adding strength to foundations. Together these blocks make Z shaped grooves which are less wide compared to the outer circumferential channels. That’s why the tire is also considered a hybrid. Falken Wildpeak on the other hand, is not a hybrid, but it still features aggressive enough shoulder blocks. The two unique shapes here just like seen in the middle, provide you with ramps, on one block and notches on the other along with champfered edges and more siping. Here these sipes are wave-like, forming dual siping pattern unlike the Nitto Ridge where you only one design.
