Tires Falken or Cooper
I am running the cooper road+trail and I love them because they are totally silent on the highway, light, and still pretty decent offroad
Falken AT4W’s are absolute tanks, loving them so far. They also look much more aggressive than they feel or sound which is a win win for aesthetics / highway
Falkon Wildpeaks (I love this tire)
I\u2019ve never ever been let down by a set of falken wildpeak at3ws. All season tire so you don\u2019t have to have a dedicated set. Very smooth on the highway for an at tire, available in 10 ply for towing or extreme use, little extra meat on them for when you do go off-road and do fantastic in the snow.
I’ve been through Bridgestones and Pirellis. Last set I put on though are Coopers and they are the longest lasting and most comfortable by far.
the Defender 110 the two highway quiet A/Ts people seem to love are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. the Falkens look a bit more aggressive but are still way less noisy than KO2s.
i just put on 275/55 R20 Wildpeaks. They are awesome. Look great, and can deal with loading up and long trips, and my wife's curb sliding.
I’m using Falken Azenis. I was planning on Michelin pilot sports, but tariffs added almost $200 per tire so I went with Falkens from the stock Pirelli P Zeros.
What I’ve noticed:
Steering feel is noticeably worse. I noticed instantly. Honestly that doesn’t matter with a muscle car, but I liked the direct feel and confidence of the pirellis.
However, the new ride is nicer. Ride is slightly more comfortable, which for a daily driver is a valid trade off. Ride went from 4/10 to a 5/10 in comfort.
If the Pirellis grip at normal temperatures is an 8/10 the falkens are maybe 6.9/10. I’ve only had them for 200 miles so far though.
My pirellis needed to be replaced after 8k miles on the street. The falkens should last 30-40k miles. Oh and the pirellis turned in to glass below 50 Fahrenheit since they’re summer tires. I’m definitely going to try Michelins next, no matter the price, but I’m not upset at cheaping out ($320 a tire) this time.
I had the AT3 and wanted to get the AT4 but I am seeing a lot of negative reviews on this tire. Everything from the weight to lack of control in wet conditions has made me look for other options. My only issue with the AT3 is it lasted me maybe 30k miles
I'm a mechanic, but still personally only stick to Michelin/Continental/Nokian religiously on my cars. Our parts dept fleet at my shop are all fitted with Coopers in the summer and Nexens in the winter. I hate them. Noisy, garbage in the weather, garbage in the dry.
