Tires Falken or Kumho
Falken Ziex 960s are what I ran in big bear for years. Rain snow shine. If I needed cables I should've driven a different car. It was a hoon in the snow lol.
Did a short test drive today. No rubbing or other issues with normal/slightly spicy driving. Went lock to lock in a parking lot, no issues.
I'm on my second set of Kumho all season, I don't think I'm missing out not spending the extra on Michelins. The Kumho have been awesome in the recent weather bomb.
Bought AT4s a year ago. I have great traction on wet, dry and snowy roads here in New Hampshire. Would definitely recommend and buy again.
It all depends on tyres you're using. I'm plowing through all that snow on my all season mid tier kumho Solus with no problems in my caddy van
Im from the same area and I got wildpeaks at4s 265/75r16 at 1010tires for $246. Love the wildpeaks so far, only downside is the gas mileage from stock tires went from 12.3l/100kms to 13.8l/100kms.
Used Kumho’s brand just fine in the past. But been several years as other tires I’ve looked at had better wet traction / price for my specific tire size so I’ve opted for others more recently.
I just went through the same thing and ended up picking the wildpeaks. In my size i could only get E rated KO3s, and didnt want to go that heavy. I havent gotten out yet so cant speak to that, but on the road they dont feel much different to the OEM trailhunter tires. I actually think maybe a little worse in wet, but not to the point of being an issue (and its been pretty wet where im at)
I think they’re too loud on the road. Also, they wear out very quickly
KO3\u2019s suck these days. Go with the Falken Wildpeak AT4\u2019s or the Toyo Open Country AT3 is better in the snow from what I\u2019ve experienced.
