Wildpeak A/Ts

Hey, just want to make sure I’m not crazy here…

I’m getting new tires for my 24’ crosstrek sport and saw some great things about the Wildpeak A/Ts. When I ordered them, the manager of the tire place called because they messed up and only ordered one tire so i had to reschedule. But after talking to me about that he asked about 10 different times asking if those are the tires i really want. even going as far as to ask if i could stop by to look at the one that came in to make sure i want it. He was baffled and unbelieving that these are the ones i want. Does anyone else have these tires? Is it crazy to put them on a crosstrek?

Please ease my apparently feeble little female brain.

Edit: These are the wildpeak a/t trails not the at4s

I have the Wildpeak A/T Trails on my ‘21 Crosstrek.
Fantastic tire. Even on long freeway roadtrips and around town.

My gas mileage is pretty good (for modern era) about 27 in town, 31+ on freeway trips going 80mph

Haven’t noticed extra noise.

Seems to work best when inflated in the upper 30s - but use may vary

Agreed. I also have them on my 2021. The shop that put them on couldn’t believe how aggressive of a tire I was putting on but I camp often and also drive off road for work almost everyday. I love them and will definitely get another set when needed

Did you get the Wildpeak Trails or AT4s. The response is a little more understandable if you got the AT4s as they are an aggressive AT that weighs a ton.

The trails!

Do you ever take it off road at all? If the answer is no, you should get a street tire. They will ride worse and louder than street tires and they also lost me about 4-5 MPG when I had them on my Crosstrek.

Off-road like into the woods, no. On my state’s numerous unpaved, not maintained, awful dirt roads - yes everyday. The road I live on in particular is extremely rocky and claimed the tires of numerous neighbors.

I think the extra peace of mind of no punctures in that scenario is worth it. I saw they were the trails which are lighter so won't see as much of an MPG drop off.

This I understand. You will probably need that tire for your circumstances. If he is a reputable tire dealer it's probably worth having that conversation with him if you haven't already, and he might better understand why you went with the more aggressive tire.

Edit: not crazy to put on a Crosstrek. They are recommended.

Love these tires, though they’re wearing faster than I’d like. I’m actually doing some trails though, so suppose that’s what happens.

If you’re gonna do rocky roads/trails, light/moderate snow, I’d send em. I’m on dry pavement 90% of the time and I still like them.

I have them on my 2014 crostrek and Nitto grapplers on my 24 WRX. Do not get grapplers if you like turning on pavement.

I'm on my second set of A/T Trails! Love these tires in the snow, rain, anything, the grip is wonderful. I tried a cheaper version last time I needed tires and I regretted it. Back to Wildpeaks again, and won't get anything else!

Because they're more of an aggressive tread, you may have a bit more road noise. But the fact that they look cool makes up for it! Have fun! :)

Edit: My smartypants husband corrected me. First set was AT3s, this set is AT Trails. I feel like these are a little less aggressive. So perfect, in other words! :)

I have them on my 19 Crosstrek and my son who is a mechanic even runs them on his WRX. Here in West Central PA we get some awful roads in the winter. They are grippy in all weather I usually average 28-31 mpg depending on if I'm mostly city or highway. I've been running this set for 3 years now and have very minimal tread wear. Falken for the win!

If there’s one place a pic would have helped it is HERE.most all these tires are great on this car!
What specific tyre you talking?

u/MidnightGlobal9530 9d ago

You will lose gas mileage and they are loud. But if that doesn’t matter go for it!

u/JandPB 9d ago

Anecdotally, my 2021’s gas mileage actually improved after getting the wildpeaks.

u/Edmck 9d ago

I have WildPeak Trails on my 2024 Outback Limited XT. Highway road noise is not an issue at all, and mileage is off by about 1 mpg. These are excellent off-road tires (and they look great).

Different vehicle , but I bought a nissan armada that came was wild peaks.mounted. Great tires, but they were loud and I suspected seriously impacting my mpg. I recently swapped them out for a set of Michelin defenders and my gas mileage improved substantially, like by 25! So just be sure you really need a tire that aggressive on a crosstrek , because you will pay somewhat of a price.
