Tires Falken or DUNLOP
I’m running the Falken Wildpeaks 235 70R16s.
No suspension mods (my car is ALL stock except for these tires!)
I LOVE THEM.
I have some decent ones with the Dunlop Wintermaxx II's. I'd say it does great w decent to great winters on.
I run Falken Wildpeaks (severe winter-rated All Terrains). Have zero issues driving in snow.
I ditched the stock tires at 20k and went with Falken Wildpeak A/T and it drives perfect.
Working as a ski guide in the Canadian Rockies and running the AT3W on my Tacoma and I love them. Driving snowy highways before plows and un-maintained FSRs they are phenomenal. The only downside is on glare ice they struggle but with that kind of tire any would.
I’ve got a set of Wildpeak AT Trails on my ‘17. Had them for maybe 3 years now. Went with 235/60r17 because I’ve got 17x8 wheels(1in wider than stock). Been a bit louder, but that’s the way ATs are. Being that they’re heavier, there’s more weight getting forced towards the body of the vehicle when you hit bumps/jolts. That extra weight is gonna jolt the body more than the lighter tires/wheels. Mine went from riding like a touring car to feeling like an actual SUV after the change.
For 3 seasons I get good year reliants (100 USD each) for winter falken aklimate that are 3 peak rated (140 USD each) no issues in lite to moderate snow. I don't have extreme snow in Texas.
Lol...same story here. I realized I've bought and mounted AT3WA instead of AT3W only few weeks later, as I could not believe those on pictures looked so different. These DOT aprovals for Europe are needed and US based tire companies simply do not apply for those since they have large enough market in US and Down under.
Honestly I was quite satisfied with AT3WA on road, wet and snowy, but they look so sissy I got rid of them.
Yes and they sucked. I was lucky to have a very mild winter but I remember one day when it was probably around 25 with a fresh dusting of snow and they were ice skates.
I drive a base model work truck. It’s $375 each for some falken at discount tires.
