Tires Falken or Kumho
I’ve got Kumho Tires, they have been great for 60k km. Bought online.
I've had the wild peaks for years and love them, ill probably replace them with another set. That being said I do a fair amount of snow driving and trail driving in the summer.
I’m in Maine tried them both, liked the wild peaks so much I put them on my wife’s suv, and my sons crosstrek. They are my all time favorite and incredibly high quality.
With innovative tech, a capable rubber compound, and a wide range of options and sizes, the upcoming Kumho's performance range is great news for all high-speed enthusiasts who are looking for dependable and affordable rubber.
I put some Kumho Crugen on my grandmas van and they were great. She did a few trips from LA to Sacramento(7 hr). No issues.
Tires are on, I went with LT285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT4W in C load range. They are a legit 34x11.5 and are pretty heavy since they are the beefier Duraspec sidewall, coming in a 68 lbs, but still C load range. So tough, but with a smoother ride and potentially more flex than an E rated. I wanted to stick with the factory wheels, because A) they look great B) I don't want a higher scrub radius for clearance and wear/ tear, C) saves money.
Falken Wildpeak AT4.
I use them on the trails all the time, they’re great. Better on snowy pavement than my buddies KO2s as well
Overall happy with my Kumho Roadventure AT51 on my F150. Not the best on pure ice, but only real complaint on the F150 is they don’t seem to last as long as I’d like, but I run them all year and I’ll get equivalent of about 30,000mi out of a set, heavy truck, all year, towing, winter, mud, highway, you name it - and a lot of roundabouts in my neck of the woods which is apparently known to be hard on them… from chatting with buddies I get about 90% of the kms they get on a set of BFG KO2, but they cost about 20-30% less typically, and are quieter, and seem roughly equal capability otherwise.
I’m getting rid of my Falken Wildpeaks after 6,000 miles of misery. These tires will not balance and I’ve had rotational noise issues at highways speeds.
Falken Ecorun ZE310s. Do not recommend whatsoever, it feels like driving on balloons. No steering feel, super delayed turn response, understeery, unpredictable, and far too much sidewall flex.
