Falken Wildpeak AT04: The New Heavyweight Contender in All-Terrain Tyres

06 Jan 2026

Falken has officially dropped its latest all-terrain flagship — the Wildpeak AT04 — and it’s already

shaping up to be one of the most interesting tyre releases of the year. Building on the enormous

popularity of the AT3W and the more recent AT3WA, this fourth-generation all-terrain aims squarely

at the growing “touring-meets-off-road” market that Aussie buyers have pushed into over the last

few years.

A More Serious All-Terrain for Modern 4X4s

Falken says the AT04 has been engineered specifically for heavier, more powerful modern vehicles

— think 200 and 300 Series Land Cruisers, Y62 Patrols, Rangers, LC79s and the big American

trucks. Load ratings, sidewall construction, and overall footprint have all been bumped up to suit

these platforms.

Key upgrades include: - A stronger, more impact-resistant carcass designed for harsh outback and

farm use. - Completely reworked sidewall lugs for improved puncture protection and grip when

aired down. - A new tread pattern with interlocking blocks improving stability on-road and

loose-surface performance. - Enhanced water evacuation channels for better wet-weather

confidence. - Reduced pattern noise for quieter touring.

A Tyre Built for Real Touring

Where the previous Wildpeak generations leaned a little towards off-road bias, the AT04 aims

directly at the 50/50 crowd — drivers who spend most of the year doing school runs and commuting

but want serious performance when it’s time to load up, head remote, and get dusty.

Falken’s updates focus on stone ejection, heat resistance, bead-to-sidewall strength, and

long-distance touring wear patterns.

Sizes and Australian Market Availability

Falken has confirmed a wide range of LT construction options from launch, with more coming

throughout 2025. Expect a heavy focus on 17–20 inch sizes suitable for modern dual-cabs and

wagons, especially those with GVM upgrades.

Tyre Review Long-Term Test

We’ll be running a full long-term test of the Wildpeak AT04 on our Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series,

covering: - Daily driving - Towing - Touring - Fuel economy - Noise levels - Mud, sand and gravel

performance - Puncture resistance and durability.

This entire series will be featured on the Tyre Review YouTube channel.

Final Thoughts

The all-terrain market is fiercely competitive, and the AT04 arrives ready to take on the best.

Stronger construction, better road manners, and a clear focus on touring performance suggest this

may be Falken’s most capable A/T tyre yet.
