Tires Falken or Maxxis
If you’re really worried about it, Falken Wildpeaks are the GOAT for All Terrain tires with very very good performance in wet and snow
currently running 265/70/18 Falken Wildpeak AT3’s, will most likely be upgrading to 275/70/18 Toyo RT Trail tires, unless I can confirm that 285/70/18’s will fit with no rub.
The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.
I went with falken FK460 silent core (which is with ev foam). I like them so far and was about 1100 out the door (installed, balanced and tax and all).
I bought my miata with some pretty thrashed Falken Azeni RT615Ks on them and they grip pretty good, and even with the tread worn down to the wear bars they're not completely terrifying in the wet.
As someone who has a 04 2wd I can tell you best thing is a good set of tires. I run Falken Wildpeak AT4W's 265 65 17 we have decent snows in the winter I just lower the air pressure and go on my merry way.
Love the look of the beefier tires, went with Falken Wildpeak AT4. No lift or level and no rubbing
These wore down so quick for me… great at first but the durability is not there.
Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.
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.
