I got some Falken Wild Peak Trail with 18 inch aftermarket rims. so far performance in wet and snowy conditions has been excellent.
I went from Falkens to Toyos in 315/70r17 and the Falkens were 2” larger in diameter.
I have Akklimates on my Hyundai Kona. They rate pretty good in everything and have held up well in snow and wet conditions, but I specifically bought them because I don't drive that car much and they are more of a value 3PMSF tire.
Falken Ziex 960s are what I ran in big bear for years. Rain snow shine. If I needed cables I should've driven a different car. It was a hoon in the snow lol.
Did a short test drive today. No rubbing or other issues with normal/slightly spicy driving. Went lock to lock in a parking lot, no issues.
Bought AT4s a year ago. I have great traction on wet, dry and snowy roads here in New Hampshire. Would definitely recommend and buy again.
12/30/25: Discount Tire- Falken WildPeak AT3W warranty replacements due to out of round with 4270 miles - replaced with WildPeak AT4Ws (2) - Road forced balanced FL- 8lbs with .75 inner left… FR 11lbs with 1.0 inner left - OOR AT3Ws 55lbs could not balance correctly- 50-60mph shake not present as of now
I just went through the same thing and ended up picking the wildpeaks. In my size i could only get E rated KO3s, and didnt want to go that heavy. I havent gotten out yet so cant speak to that, but on the road they dont feel much different to the OEM trailhunter tires. I actually think maybe a little worse in wet, but not to the point of being an issue (and its been pretty wet where im at)
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
At around 40-45 degrees, stock Dunlops start to slip around corners with these tires in a bad way. 30's, you'll definitely lose control easily and slide with any hard braking.
