Tires Falken or Firestone
Falken Wildpeak AT Trail. Great traction in sand and gravel, decent in light snow. Much quieter than General Grabber AT2, or BFG KO2
Falken RT660. Just used them yesterday. Good enough for a podium in class!
I’d stick with tried and true. Falken
FWIW - I dropped my stock 17” wheels down to 16” Sparco Terra wheels and run Falken Wildpeak Trail tires. Awesome year round and we get a lot of snow in New England.
So he did just that, pulled the steel wheel out, added liquid rubber and sealed the fuck outta that hole from the inside. $15 is all it costed me while Firestone would’ve convinced my stupid asss to drop $150 on a tire. I’m so pissed lol
They are 255/60/19 flalken wildpeak AT. They ride great make no noise as well. The only downside is the weight the difference in brake feel is night and day.
The newer style Firestone WinterForce 2 are decent tires. Good tread design, not too hard, not too soft compound. Fairly priced $100-150/ea depending.
New tires for the touareg pretty happy with how they look. Although the brakes are much stiffer from the additional weight.
they stretch great...theyre no 512s, but 512s are crappy tires other than to stretch with
We just replaced set of Firestones, less than 8000 miles by previous owner, that got hard and tried to disintegrate when we weren’t paying attention; chunks were coming off! Never seen a tire do that before unless it was old.
