Tires Falken or FEDERAL
Falken wildpeak a/t trail also have the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. I bought them halfway through the winter season last year and I was so happy with the difference they made in the snow. I drove in all kinds of gnarly conditions and didn't see my traction light come on at all after I put them on.
I've gone through at least 5 sets of 651's over the past 4-5 years of daily driving and autox (07 scion tC & now a 17 BRZ). as a budget tire, really can't complain for learning without breaking the bank.
I really like the federal command tires, they were an amazing price (around 60$ for 2). They also have a very pronounced grind protection lip on the side wall. On a super hot supper day they have amazing grip and wonderful feedback.
My only complaint is because they are a slick tire, you get amazing rolling, but the second there is a dusting of sand on a hard surface you can slip out pretty easy.
I live in the snow belt in Canada and made it home during the storm of the decade without issue. They’re not a dedicated snow tire by any means; but I’ve been pleased with their performance overall.
AT’s, and specifically a narrower width (245/70R17) AT3W, has performed very well for me. I have had four sets on two vehicles totaling 260,000 miles and just recently replaced them again on my Tacoma after 60,000 miles.
Love them. Had them for about 3 years in NJ and they handle so much better than KO2's in the snow.
They do great in snow, I live in Montana and haven’t had any problems. However, I can’t say any non-designated winter tire is great on ice. Snow is no problem though for the AT3W’s
I bought a set of those for my MS about a year ago. I ate thru the rears in 6 months. If I recall those have no tread wear warranty. The set I have now are Azensis FK460. Much better tires with 50k tread wear warranty.
I've had mine for about a year and a half, very little off roading, low road noise but honestly not impressed with their performance on hard packed snow ( I live in the great white north).
My current 3 month old Falkens with 3200 miles are already bald. I’m 49 and don’t drive it like I stole it fyi….
Those might be the worst tires I’ve ever bought
