Tires Falken or Firestone
They have low rolling resistance according to Discount Tires tests, are light, and still grip well off road
I have Firestone Weathergrip all-weather tires in my escape and they have been just fine driving the past 3 winters in Calgary, with the odd trip out to Banff. I would say they are only questionable once the weather hits -30’s. Other than that they have been comparable to my blizzaks.
Firestone weathergrip on a Ford ecosport and they work well. Ive done Banff on snowy days and down to Radium as well .As always drive with extra caution.
Falken Wild Peak AT tires. That’s all I buy for the wife and girls sedan.
I've never felt safer and more in control than in these. They're tough, and thick. Also quite heavy too (will very slightly affect MPG, i lost 1-2mpg switching over to these from the stock tires) but surprisingly quiet. They have performed well in the mountains of socal and Colorado (summer/autumn) and haven't shown an inch of damage through what I put them through. Outside of that, they perform extremely well in rain, and you can feel the traction and control. Wildpeaks are expensive, but from what I've experienced and felt, I think every penny is worth it
I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.
My MPG dropped from 41.2 to 38.7 when I switched to Falken Wildpeak AT3 all terrains this summer. I couldn’t do another winter on crappy tires.
I have 33" Load C AT4Ws, and they have been awesome both on and off road. ...the gas mileage really takes a hit with the heavier tires and I can tell my suspension has a tougher time controlling them.
these things are junk. When it’s cool outside they shake. I’m currently 2k miles in and the comfort and everything else is abysmal for a 60k car.
Not only will they not hold up, they suck in every category otherwise...sound,traction,comfort.
