The Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail is widely considered the best all-terrain tire for the Subaru Outback Wilderness. Engineered specifically for crossovers, it features a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating for severe snow conditions, 3D Canyon Sipe Technology, and a durable 2-ply polyester construction. This tire delivers rugged off-road grip without the heavy weight penalty of a traditional truck tire, preserving your vehicle's fuel economy and comfortable on-road handling.
For drivers exploring our Subaru Wilderness Guide, upgrading to a specialized mud and snow tire is one of the most effective ways to enhance trail capability and winter confidence.
Falken offers two phenomenal options for Subaru owners, depending on how aggressive your off-road adventures get.
The Crossover Specialist
Designed directly for CUVs like the Outback and Forester. It provides ample tread depth (11/32" for standard sizes), excellent wet control, and severe snow ratings while keeping tire weight manageable (approx. 30 lbs for 225/65R17). It maintains smooth daily driving manners.

Built for extreme terrain, the A/T4W features staggered shoulder blocks and a deeper tread pattern. While heavier, it is the ultimate choice for deep mud, jagged rocks, and heavy towing scenarios. It also carries the 3PMSF severe snow certification.

When upgrading your Subaru all-terrain tires, it is highly recommended to maintain the factory overall diameter to prevent wheel well rubbing and to keep your speedometer, odometer, and advanced safety systems (like EyeSight) properly calibrated. The Outback Wilderness typically uses a 225/65R17 tire, while the Forester Wilderness usually takes a 225/60R17.
