Tires Falken or Maxxis
I have Akklimates on my Hyundai Kona. They rate pretty good in everything and have held up well in snow and wet conditions, but I specifically bought them because I don't drive that car much and they are more of a value 3PMSF tire.
I ride with 2.35" tires front and rear on my Ripmo, one that's a little beefier up front (Schwalbe Nobby Nic) and something that rolls better in the rear (Schwalbe Racing Ralph).
The bike came with Maxxis Assegai front and rear and for the first few rides I regretted getting the bike because it felt like such a pig. The lighter tires make pedaling on flat sections and climbs *so much* more enjoyable, and I can still push it on the descents.
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.
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.
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.
I'm currently running Falken Azenis on my '07 STi. They were $150/tire and there was an $80 instant rebate for buying a set of 4. So, $130/tire after rebate.
Those Falkens are dearly loved by this community. I had a set and just didn\u2019t like them. They were noisy. They had a tendency to flat spot if the truck sat for a day or two, that would take several miles to warm up and sort itself out. They were really awesome in the snow and what little off roading I did.
- avoid the willys, stock tires are LOUD (falken mt)
I’ve ran the Falken Wildpeak M/Ts (315/75/16) for over a year now… love the look BUT I am about sick and tired of them. I like to overland & I do like to go to the snow often, which I have learned the hard way that these tires are not great for winter conditions. They are horrendously loud, cause a ton vibrations & are super heavy.
