I’ve been really happy the AT3’s I got year before last, they perform admirably offroad and in snow, and they are great on the highway to boot
I’ve had the falken at3’s for the last 4 years. Amazing tires that have treated me very well. Great in all conditions with good throttle control and very good wet weather grip compared to the KO2’s I had before.
Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.
Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.
5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.
I got firestone firehawk as v2 from costco, i don't regret buying it as i can take corner really fast and good tread wear after 17k miles
Firestones will have the best handling characteristics of the 3 options for spirited driving. Michelens the worst.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.
33k before a pothole bubbled a side. MPG dropped 1 or 2 in my 22' turbo.
I've only ever used one set of Falkan tires and will never use them again. Just very very loud tire hum compared to Bridgestone or Michelin.
