Tires Falken or Firestone
Was able to get Falkens this year and they are amazing for me. Less initial bite than the nexens but way more grip if you lean into it instead of snapping the wheel.
I’ve put Weathergrips on three vehicles, and I’ll continue to put them on vehicles if I have to. Phenomenal winter performance (in Southern Ontario) and absolutely brilliant in the wet. Zero hydroplaning. In the summer, I air them up a few pounds over the car manufacturer spec and they respond quite nicely.
I’ve had quite a few and overall, my favorite is the Falkin Wildpeak AT3. They’re the most aggressive looking, deeper tread than some, good warranty, reasonable priced, lightweight compared to a K02 and also a light quieter on road than a K02.
Not a Subaru owner :( but I run Firestones xt destination on my yoda and truck. I’ve had Toyo open country’s and wild peaks on my truck and I honestly like the Firestone’s better for everyday use light off roading and styling.
Firestone Indy 500’s are a cheaper option that gives similar grip to continental extreme contact sports. They are just horrendous in the rain
Ran falkens on my last 2 trucks, loved them the whole time
Falken tires are amazing! Sumitomo Heavy Industries, yo. Didn't use the Falken all-seasons that long, because I sold the car.
Had BF for a while and switch to Falken 2 years ago. I find falken are quiet and better on snow and ice.
- Quiet when new - Reasonable grip dry/wet - Cheap to buy http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif - Lack of serious siping = don't bother in the snow - Gets noisy starting about halfway worn - If you have any autocrossing aspirations... don't.
Not the same vehicle, but, on my truck (2wd, V8, manual), I installed Winterforce 2 tires, and while I haven't driven in any snow with them yet, on wet or dry pavement, they are horrible. Not much traction at all, even if I try to drive "carefully."
