Tires Falken or DEBICA
My 2019 Crosstrek Limited made it to 90k miles on the original Falken Ziex tires before it got close to the wear indicator. Probably coulda done better if I rotated as often as I was supposed to
I ran 265/70/17 Wildpeaks on my stock 2018 for years and had no major issues with them. They are a bit heavy and my personal experience was they did not balance the best, but maybe that was addressed with the AT4s.
I got 60k out of Falken Wildpeak A/T. Only rotated them once, probably could have gotten 70k if I rotated them more frequently. Mostly highway miles.
Just did an 8k mile road trip on new Wildpeak AT4Ws and they were excellent for everything from freeway to up the side of a mountain. Nice and quiet, drives easy, and three peak mountain snowflake rated.
Wildpeak AT trails have been great for me in South America.
I run Falken Wildpeaks AT4w on my GX 550... The Falkens have been on for a year and are great on road and light off-roading. They are good in the snow but not as good as the Toyos.
Falken Rubitrek A/T. They are a little less aggressive then the Wildpeaks, and perform better on the highway. I do a lot of highways miles and occasionally drive on some rough trails, these have been amazing.
I’ve enjoyed mine as well, and I’m about due for a new set.
But, just tossing this out there, I found they aren’t as grabby in soft sand or wet snow as I would have liked (conditions I find myself in).
They’re hyped up, and I liked mine, but don’t plan on getting them again.
Look out for shoulder cracks on the Falkens. Tread might look great, but the tread cleats will start to crack on the shoulders. Nothing you can do about it. Plan on replacing them around 25-30k miles.
Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.
