Tires Falken or Goodyear
I’ve had my AT3’s for about 3 years now. I live in Arizona and drive in the desert a lot and occasionally rainy/snowy slush roads in the winter over never ever had a issue and the noise is minimal to me. Just overall a damn good tire.
Wildpeaks over all the others. I have hundreds of thousands of miles experience with all three and the Falkens are by far the best in all conditions and remain consistent over the life of tread. The KOs will get louder and offer less traction the more miles you put on them, the Toyos, in my experience don't last that long at all. My WPs have stayed relatively quiet and continued to offer the same traction on/offroad throughout their life, I've also been getting roughly 70-80k miles out of them before even considering replacing them.
The downside to the Falkens is that they're very heavy compared to the others. I noticed a sizeable drop in MPG for sure.
PF these are great, I wish they were available in Mexico. We have no AT option for the CX30 size. I got the Goodyear Wrangler HT.. I use it mostly on the beach.
My work truck has been on Falken tires since a few months before I got it 25,000 miles ago. I have never had any issues with stopping distance and the tread is still a 7 on the most worn of the four. I'd say they aren't so bad
They also seem to cause a little vibration when cold, but that goes away once they warm. They are nice and grippy on dry roads, and have performed well in the few times I have been out in the rain.
Falken Wildpeak a/t Trail unless you never go off-road or have to deal with bad weather.
Purchased x2 Goodyear Reliant All-Season 205/60R16 for my 01 Lexus ES300. Pretty good tire, very comfortable ride.
Goodyear is definitely not as good as they used to be. Their tires are on the lower end side now and their prices reflect that.
While I was originally happy with the GoodYear Assurance Comfortdrives two years ago on the HL, in the short 28K miles I've put on them, they have become quite loud and wearing rather quickly.
On a totally non-Mazda related note I put Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my Jeep just over a year and half ago. All four of them already have weather cracking. And Falken doesn’t have a specific warranty for that, you simply have to claim the warranty under their general six year manufacturing defects and materials and hope they give you some help. They start at 11/32, rated for 65,000 miles and after 20,000 miles they are already down to 6.5/32
