with the Falkens on, the traction is a lot better than the stock Hankooks.
The only *truly* green tire I know of is the Goodyear Electric Drive 2, which is built to complement electric cars and is made of renewable organic materials -- yet has excellent handling, noise, rolling resistance, tread life etc. characteristics.
I just got new tires. Went from MT Geolandars to Wildpeak AT4W.
I miss the more aggressive look of the MT but I’m loving the smoother ride of the AT4Ws.
I have Falken Wildpeak AT4W LT285/70R17 on mine and with the rims they weigh about 92lbs each and I’ve had zero problems.
Ich fahre schon seit Jahrzehnten mit Goodyear Vector All Seasons und damit in der ganzen Zeit nur ein einziges Mal ein Problem, als ich in einer Schneewehe feststeckte und der Reifen nicht greifen konnte. Ein echter Winterreifen hätte das höchstwahrscheinlich funktioniert. Aber solche Schneewehen gibt es ja schon lange nicht mehr. Mehrverbrauch oder schwammiges Fahrgefühl etc konnte ich nie feststellen. Ich würde mal behaupten, wenn man normal fährt, also so einer ist, der ständig an die Grenzen geht, merkt man keinen Unterschied.
Falken Pro G5 A/S in Southeast Wisconsin. Works well for me all year around.
Mine was the same way with those tires. I have the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2’s now and it helped a bunch. Quieter, smoother ride, grippier, slippage off the line is no longer an issue, and any loss of efficiency is negligible.
I’ve had a decent experience with my Falken Rubitreks, they’re not a true winter but they perform well enough
I don’t know about Falken AT/4, but the AT3’s were the worst tire I’ve ever owned.
Bad enough that I’d never consider a Falken product again. Punctured easy, (three flats in 30,000 miles, first one within 4,000 miles). Rock grabbers and rock throwers. Terrible in deep snow.
First set dry rot within 2yr and the other had irreparable sidewall chunk damage within 5k miles. Terrible quality on that model.
