Yeah. From what I have seen, the vast majority of owners seem very happy with their Falken Wildpeak ATs.
If you do end up getting another set, make sure they are C-load. Our OE tires are C-load; it makes for a comfortable ride.
Good luck!
They might have run past their useful life. Or perhaps they haven't been rotated properly.
I've been rotating my Wildpeaks religiously with every oil change. Like I said, the best AT tire I have owned to date.
I have been into Wranglers/Gladiators for 17 years; have owned ten of them. Had all sorts of tires, mostly ATs: K02s, Grabber ATXs, Duratracs, Nokian ATs, etc. All did very well on-road and decently off-road. Well, other than the Duratracs, which wore fast and got loud with age.

Overall, I am happy with the soft topper.
Having said that, the top is NOT 100% waterproof.
I went to visit dad for Christmas. The Jeep was out in the heavy rain for three days. The fabric got soaked on the inside, especially where the top meets the front window. Everywhere else appears to...
I thought ALL hoods, Sport, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, High Altitude, were made of aluminum.
Whether that has changed with the ongoing tariffs, I don't know.
It appears so. They look like the Mopar high clearance fenders on that photo.
I never understood the need to have so many different fenders, bumpers, interiors, etc. For instance, there are like five different sets of fenders: Sport/Willys in black; Sahara color matched, Rubicon in black...
If this follows the Wrangler playbook, Sahara (like Overland before it) should be more than a Sport S with a Premium package.
Sahara normally includes nicer interior pieces (padded leather-covered door armrests, rear center fold down armrest, dashboard covering, contrasting stitching...
In my particular case, I wanted the ability to remove the sides and back curtains since my dog rides back there; didn't want to spend more than $1,000, didn't want the added weight of a fiberglass cap that high up; I live alone, so the ability to remove it all by myself was a huge factor.
IMHO...
Very nice. Looks great!
I got an Agri-Cover Outlander on my Gladiator, primarily because it comes with see-through windows on all four sides and my dog rides back there.
I also like the "looks" of the Agri-Cover the best of the three I looked at: Agri-Cover, Softopper and Bestop.
Having said...
Yes. For all the bad rep California gets, the state does a great job of ensuring that the public retains access to off-road trails.
By contrast, despite the thousands of forest roads going in every direction here in Washington State, 90% of them are behind a locked gate.
I lived in California...
Trying not to. I kept the foot on the brakes and the wheels pointed towards the mountain...but the Jeep insisted on sliding backwards, going wherever it wanted.
FULL DISCLOSURE - Here's the story that accompanies those stunning photos.
After we are done playing in the snow, go to start the Jeep, engage into Drive, and instead of going forward the Jeep slides backwards and towards the edge of the cliff!!!
There is barely 2 inches of fresh snow on the...
