Tires Falken or Goodyear
I\u2019ve never ever been let down by a set of falken wildpeak at3ws. All season tire so you don\u2019t have to have a dedicated set. Very smooth on the highway for an at tire, available in 10 ply for towing or extreme use, little extra meat on them for when you do go off-road and do fantastic in the snow.
my LC has the wrangler duratracs. Great performance in winter here in Mn including true ice storms and black ice when it\u2019s -42 like this weekend. You have to drive differently but they perform well and don\u2019t require a full switch like a true winter tire.
the Defender 110 the two highway quiet A/Ts people seem to love are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. the Falkens look a bit more aggressive but are still way less noisy than KO2s.
i just put on 275/55 R20 Wildpeaks. They are awesome. Look great, and can deal with loading up and long trips, and my wife's curb sliding.
I went with 265/60R20 in falken wildpeak at4w and I've absolutely loved it
Going from the stock 235/45 tires to taller sidewall 225/55 took some harshness out of the ride, which I really enjoy. The tires, being all terrains, have been a huge upgrade in winter and on rough, unpaved roads. Highly recommend if you're into that. I went with Falken Wildpeak AT Trails.
The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 won Tire Rack's first place overall rating last year. The weaknesses of this tire are noise and fuel economy, and even in those areas, their performance is above average. Excellent heat/cold, wet/dry/snow performances on track and on skid pad testing.
I’m using Falken Azenis. I was planning on Michelin pilot sports, but tariffs added almost $200 per tire so I went with Falkens from the stock Pirelli P Zeros.
What I’ve noticed:
Steering feel is noticeably worse. I noticed instantly. Honestly that doesn’t matter with a muscle car, but I liked the direct feel and confidence of the pirellis.
However, the new ride is nicer. Ride is slightly more comfortable, which for a daily driver is a valid trade off. Ride went from 4/10 to a 5/10 in comfort.
If the Pirellis grip at normal temperatures is an 8/10 the falkens are maybe 6.9/10. I’ve only had them for 200 miles so far though.
My pirellis needed to be replaced after 8k miles on the street. The falkens should last 30-40k miles. Oh and the pirellis turned in to glass below 50 Fahrenheit since they’re summer tires. I’m definitely going to try Michelins next, no matter the price, but I’m not upset at cheaping out ($320 a tire) this time.
Current car has Goodyear, the cheapest model. And terrible in snow and ice.
Mine were Goodyear wrangler and they were awful in the rain, slipping everywhere.
