Not the same tires, but I’m currently running the Falken Azenis FK460 all season in 255/35/18 and I’ve been super impressed with them considering it’s an all season. Steering is still very precise, the tires are quiet on the highway and they’re communicative as grip loads up, and it breaks away progressively.
I have ridge grapplers and I really like them, but if I were only doing what you were planning on I would go back to wildpeak AT3s. Those tires were actually amazing.
Falken Wildpeaks are the best AT tire in the rain by far. I live in the PNW and drive in the rain pretty much constantly.
I went with 265/60/18 Wildpeaks on my 22 AWD turbo and really like them a LOT. No rubbing even off road and much better grip all around especially in wet conditions. I even pulled a 1000lb trailer down 50 miles of beach without even THINKING about getting stuck. I even kinda tried to push it a few times in deep sand and the tires just didn’t dig in, they went forward even WITHOUT lowering the air pressure in the tires.
I wore out my first set of AT3s and replaced them with KO2s because the tire store only had 3 wildpeaks in stock, but had four KO2s. Drove it for a couple days and hated them. Ordered four AT4s and a week later had them changed out. Much better tire than the Bridgestones.
I’ve got around 20k miles on mine and have hardly worn honestly.
Got these on mine and literally the best wet weather tire I have ever used…better performance than any NITTO or BFG I have ever had.
My wildpeaks are going on 60k miles with no signs of needing to be replaced anytime soon. All I've done is maintain consistent airing, adjusting for summer and winter and rotate/balance every 8-10k. I'm willing to bet I get 100k miles out of them safely with plenty of tread left.
Tbh you get what you pay for. Not great. There’s others that make a better all season tire then falk and at the same price. But if you don’t mind a little higher I’d look at something like the cross climates Michelin has or the cooper endura max or the Nokian wr. Nokians are amazing but suffer from issues in really hot weather. I’d get the cooper endura for Ohio. Won’t disappoint you either. Amazing in winter and summer
Stock falken wildpeaks blew out on me going 75mph on a freeway. Only had 15k miles on them scary situation.
