Tires Falken or GOODRIDGE
Falken wildpeak a/t trail also have the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. I bought them halfway through the winter season last year and I was so happy with the difference they made in the snow. I drove in all kinds of gnarly conditions and didn't see my traction light come on at all after I put them on.
I live in the snow belt in Canada and made it home during the storm of the decade without issue. They’re not a dedicated snow tire by any means; but I’ve been pleased with their performance overall.
AT’s, and specifically a narrower width (245/70R17) AT3W, has performed very well for me. I have had four sets on two vehicles totaling 260,000 miles and just recently replaced them again on my Tacoma after 60,000 miles.
Love them. Had them for about 3 years in NJ and they handle so much better than KO2's in the snow.
They do great in snow, I live in Montana and haven’t had any problems. However, I can’t say any non-designated winter tire is great on ice. Snow is no problem though for the AT3W’s
I bought a set of those for my MS about a year ago. I ate thru the rears in 6 months. If I recall those have no tread wear warranty. The set I have now are Azensis FK460. Much better tires with 50k tread wear warranty.
I have Falkens on my MSP. Very smooth, quiet and good performance so far. Decent price too.
I am running FK510s on mine. Good price for what they are. Reasonably quiet and they do well in the rain. I get around 18k miles on them but the roads I drive on are pretty rough (mostly concrete).
I'm definitely replacing the stock tires with Wildpeaks in the spring. In the snow, the stock tires are pretty good, but ice forms very quickly with Vancouver snow and that's where the stock tires fail for me. Noticeably more slippery on ice than a proper 3PMSF rated tire.
I didnt have this issue when I was using Michelin X-ice last winter, it was cheaper but I feel its much better.
Falken Eurowinter hs449 is overrated or just plain fake reviews. I slip when gas/brake and even on some turns. What make me feel bad is other cars are driving faster / braking harder and turning faster then me. I look like I got summer tires on.
Strongly not recommended this.
