AlphaEquipt Foxtrot on 245/65/17 Falken WildPeak A/T Trail

[MaverIQ]

Got these the day after I picked up my Mav and it completely transformed it into a true truck. Look great, feel great, and make the Mav so much more functional! Have taken my Mav through snow where AWD SUV's were skidding around, basic mud and dirt trails with my friend's Tacoma's and Rangers with half the refuel stops lol and love how they give a slightly different look depending on angle/sunlight

Thanks, and it's hard to say since I was only on the stock steelies for a day. I want to say i lost about 1-2MPG, but it could be more. Not sure if it's my heavy foot, majority freeway miles, the A/T tires or all of the above but I'm at 33.6MPG per my Mav while it seems like alot of guys on the forum are getting closer to that EPA 40ishMPG...

You know they are making new laws where you are required to post videos of you hybrid offroading. You better get a camera person soon.

lol i've actually been looking into getting a DJI Mini drone to maintain compliance with the law. for now i'm avoiding jail time with the stop and snap method but i see that enforcement is closing in on me!

As someone who spent hours detailing my mav yesterday all that dirt makes me cringe. But gd that shadow black looks so good. I love the wheel/tire upgrade. Looks aggressive. If I actually needed much offroad ability I'd switch over for sure.

I am debating between 235/65s and 245/65S...Like the added grip and a taller tire but worried about a mileage hit and more more fender rocks chips- Hmm

Love Falken Peaks. Great all around tire and great in the looks department too. We took a 3mpg hit on the wife's Jeep getting OEM size. I would say and it is only a guess that you are taking at least double that hit if not a titch more.

I am planning on getting OEM size Falkens for my Mav as I feel the 3 mpg hit is totally acceptable given what these tires bring to the table. Besides, these Falkens being 3 peak tires I will save on the semi annual tire swap over expense.

Cheers and congrats on a great looking ride.

Truck looks awesome. I pulled the trigger on a set of Foxtrot wheels and cant wait to get them installed. Did you use hubcentric rings? if so, where did you find them?

Thanks I'm loving my Mav! and no, no hubrings just new lugs, bolts right up with no vibration noted.
