Tires Falken or Barum
Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Hands down. No questions, no debates. 35x12.5-20’s on my ‘18 2.7. Bought and installed in FL. Sand, mud, slimy boat ramps, no problem. Drove literally corner to corner across the country to WA. Did winter, no problem. Deep snow, gropple, wet, slick, no problem. So quiet for a tire that size it’s nigh unbelievable, yet here I am blabbering like a child. Did I mention it’s an actual 50k+ mi tire?
I was looking for the same and landed on Falken Rubitrek. Love them. Road noise increased a little bit over the factory all season tires but it was negligible. I did take an MPG hit but that is true of any all terrain tires. I went one size up and 10 ply so unsprung weight went up. Get about 17mpg highway now with my 3.5 EB
Replaced the old Michelins with the Falken Wildpeaks and Wow!!!! The handling is amazing and the traction feels so much better before! The beefier look is also really cool as well!
They came on my 2022 Subaru Ascent. I only have a bit over 18,000 miles on the car. My tires are at 7/32s and I do not drive the car hard and my husband doesn’t either. So far my tires are fine.
I've been happy with the wildpeaks. Mostly street/hwy, occasional adventures, do fine on both.
I've started running the Falken Wildpeak RT/01 HD and I have been really impressed. They are a rugged tire and hold up really well to heavy towing in abusive terrain. They also lasted me 45k miles when my K02s were shot at 25k miles.
I settled on Falken Ziex because a local shop had them in stock at a reasonable price ($110 each before the extended warranty, etc. shakedown) and Falken rates them as 4.5/5 stars for rolling resistance (and they don't give all of their tires that good a rating so it means *something*).
First long drive with them was today. Unfortunately, I don't have solid records of consumption for specific drives for the OEM tires, but the consumption was around 95% of the ABRP estimate going on battery %, which is not far off from what we are used to seeing. So my verdict is that they are not much worse than the OEM tires.
I just switched from the OE Michelin Pilots to Falken Azenis on my MYP. They are an optional brand listed on Tire Rack that are about $100 cheaper per tire than the Michelins. They are listed as an all season as well. My local Discount Tire ordered for me. Paid $1,200 for all four. Too soon to tell how they hold up but happy with looks and handling.
I have Falkens now, and am considering the Geolanders because they do slightly better in the rain. I'm not sure which is better in the snow. The Falkens have been fantastic in the snow, as you probably know, but I find traction isn't great on wet roads.
I’ve got the Falken Wildpeaks on a 2008 F350 Dually and they’re ok on dry roads. I put them on all seven wheels 6 + the spare) in 2019 and do regular rotations. Today while pulling one to get a slow leak fixed I noticed substantial weather checking down between the lugs; it concerns me, even though it’s been 3.5 years I’m nowhere near the 50,000 miles tread wear warranty. I’ll add these tires really suck in any kind of slick mud and snow/ice on or off the road. Terrible on ice and snow.
