Haven't had Falken but I currently have KO2's on my 470. I live near Durango at 8400' and still have 3' of snow. I haven't had any complaints with these tires, on road, off-road, on snow or ice. They perform way better than Yokohama's, or Hankooks in my opinion and I will most likely get them again.
Both great all terrains. Which means, good at most things, great at nothing. Ko2 is the standard for a reason, wildpeaks WERE the more affordable sexy new alternative. Were is the key, not much cheaper like they used to be. Still I got 40k out of mine before going back to ko2s on my gx470. Ko2 is a much better looking tire with a more unique tread pattern that works great in the snow and rain. Not so great in mud, but that’s why they make mud terrains.
KO2s - 50k on my 80 series and still have 8/32nds tread (roughly half way worn). Mileage warranty is 50k. Super quiet compared to other ATs I've tried.
Have the KO2 on my Ram 2500. Better traction than stock on wet pavement, no increase in tire noise and same fuel mileage. Would buy again.
I have run a decent range of all terrains. The KO2's by far performed the best; they were the most quiet, got the best mileage and performed the best offroad, especially when aired down.
Same. Went from Pirelli P7 All Season Plus to Continental Control Contact SRS+ and basically paid $900 for everything including installation.
Within a couple weeks I tossed the summers and had Discount Tire install Continental DWS 6+ tires. I haven’t looked back since. I have over 27k miles on them. Lots of tread left (rotate every 5k). Upper mid west roads.
Granted, I went from Yokohamas to Continentals, but the increases are huge.
I prefer the gp 4 seasons, found the gp5k wore out very fast.
I bought Continental LX25’s. They felt unsure, unstable, kind of jittery right from day 1 at high speed. New replacement set feels slightly better but still not smooth as glass. The steering wheel doesn’t shake, but I feel through the seat and floor a sense of unsteadiness. Like the car is a bit jittery, where the Michelins felt smooth as glass. BUT - I also can’t believe these tires are so junky. They weren’t cheap tires. They feel great up to 50mph , ok from 50-65, and then above 70 it’s jittery.
