Tires Falken or GENERAL TIRE
I only have experience with the wildpeaks and I really like them. No road noise and I actually noticed an improvement in traction in a spot where I used to spin the tires with my old factory yokahamas.
Yup, the Wranglers suck. Thankfully 255/65-19 KO3s coming out soon! And there is enough room for 33s under the new Defender, so 20s aren't a bad option if you don't want to downsize brakes for 18s (on the I6). I'm running AT3s and they are TOUGH. I just need some more sidewall. And it handles/drives so so well. I go from trails to twisties with zero effort or compromise.
General tires are the best out in my opinion. Even though they are owned by Continental they are a separate entity that does their own thing. The past 5 years I think general is the best because of quality, balance well, good tread life, quiet, etc.
I currently have Altimax RT-45 tires on my Golf Sportwagen (TDI, 6 speed manual). I used to use all-weather tires like Toyota Celsius, which are great for moderate snow. But winters in New England have gotten so less snowy that the Generals are excellent. Good handling, good in the rain, quiet.
I rock Falken Pro’s on my ‘22, and I am VERY happy with them. Handles any rain or standing water like a champ (it rains ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME. here). Even the snow we got this previous winter (about 6”) was nothing, felt like I was on dry pavement.
I've been running General Tire Altmax Artic Snows year round for maybe 5+ years on the same vehicle (no replacement, same tires, not even rotating).
I've had Falken FK520 on my MK4 Golf R32 as well as on my BRZ currently. Pretty good price for daily and back roads if you're not immediately taking it to the track or autoX
I have the Wildpeaks AT4s in that exact size on my ‘22 SR5. You won’t regret it. Best tires I’ve ever owned.
I have always had a great experience with Falken tires. I’ve recommended them many times but I do wonder if something has changed in the last few years to their formula or manufacturing process?
I have these on my car. I like how it performs in dry and slightly wet or snowy conditions. When it comes to water puddles or heavy rain, this thing hydroplane like crazy.
