Tires Falken or Cooper
Went from an all season to an all terrain and the only thing I noticed was a low hum sticky gravel sound at low turning speeds. Highway driving was about the same if not a bit quieter.
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’m a cheap ass and I run the Walmart Cooper Discoverer A/T’s at 265/75/16 for $145 a tire. Perfectly fine for my driving which sounds similar to yours
I installed 4 Cooper Adventure Tour tires at PepBoys back in March 2022 and drove on them, in my 2018 Corolla, until Nov 2023 when I got an unrepairable nail in the driver's side front tire. I drove about 41K miles on them before the nail, with about 75% on the freeway/highway.
I had a pair of coopers with early signs of dry rot on my car when I got into my first accident, 15 minutes after it rained the roads were still a little wet and they totally lost traction when I tried to brake/steer away frm the dude turning across my lane.
